Vypart Suspension Rod Kit for Top-Load Washers W11130362 — Stainless Steel rods, Balls & Bushings

Vypart W11130362 suspension rod kit restores tub stability by replacing worn hanger rods and reducing washer vibration and banging.

When a top-load washer shakes, rocks, or becomes noisy during spin cycles, the problem is often worn suspension rods or broken springs. The Vypart W11130362 kit contains the rods, suspension balls, and bushings needed to replace factory-deteriorated components on many Whirlpool, Maytag, Kenmore and Crosley top-load machines. Built from stainless steel and durable plastics, this aftermarket kit aims to return your washer to steady, quieter operation without replacing the entire appliance.

Which washer models will accept this suspension rod kit?

The W11130362 kit fits a wide range of Whirlpool and Maytag top-load models plus compatible Kenmore and Crosley machines. Always compare the part shapes and lengths to your existing rods before ordering to ensure a correct match.

• Compatible Whirlpool/MAYTAG model examples: MVWC565FW1, MVWC565FW2, MVWX655DW1, MVWC565FW0, MVW4505MW0.
• Also compatible with many Kenmore and Crosley model numbers listed in the product notes.
• Replaces several factory part numbers such as W10594080, W10735786, AP6262443 and others.

How do the parts in the kit resolve vibration and balance issues?

Suspension rods (hanger rods) support the washer tub and dampen movement during agitation and spin. When rods or springs fracture or the bushings wear, the tub can tilt and contact the cabinet, producing banging, loud vibration, and uneven spinning. Replacing the broken components restores the designed support so the drum stays centered and moves smoothly.

• Four stainless-steel hanger rods (23.3 inches long) to replace broken rods.
• Five suspension balls and five bushings to restore pivoting support points.
• Robust springs and plastic fittings resist wear and corrosion for long-term stability.

What tools and skills are required to install the W11130362 kit?

Installation is straightforward for anyone comfortable working with basic hand tools and observing safety procedures. You will remove the washer top or cabinet to access the suspension assembly, swap out the old rods and balls for the new components, and reassemble the cabinet. Vypart provides instructional resources to simplify the process.

• Typical tools: Phillips screwdriver, putty knife, strap or clamp, and protective gloves.
• Estimated time: roughly 30–60 minutes for a hands-on installer familiar with appliance repair.
• Tip: disconnect power and water, watch the Vypart/YouTube installation guide if unsure.

Will this kit fit instead of other damper or suspension part numbers?

The W11130362 kit is designed as a replacement for many original-equipment damper and hanger part numbers. It’s often sold as a cross-compatible option for a number of Whirlpool and OEM part codes, but exact compatibility depends on the existing rod length and connection style on your machine.

• Commonly replaces W10594080, W10748956, W10901056 and similar part numbers.
• Includes multiple suspension balls and bushings to match various factory fittings.
• Verify your washer’s current rod length and mounting before purchase to ensure fitment.

Who is this kit for? The Vypart W11130362 suspension rod kit is for DIY homeowners, independent repair technicians, and facilities managers who want a cost-effective way to stop washer tub wobble, reduce noise, and restore spin stability without exchanging the entire machine. Choose this kit if you own a listed Whirlpool, Maytag, Kenmore, or Crosley top-load model, your washer shows signs of broken hanger rods or loud vibration, and you prefer replacing discrete parts over buying a new appliance.
