Ordered the set of 4 off Amazon for $30. Arrived here this morning and finished in about 45 minutes. I used a rope to pull the hooks thru the frame and up into position. my hands and arms are too big to fit down inside the casing. Saved $300 and learned a new skill. Cut my left hand twice but nothing too serious. Thank you for the video

You have no idea how much this video just helped me! Not only do I have an understanding on why our washing machine has been shaking so abnoxiously to the point of sounding like the floor could cave in at any moment, but now I think we can actually fix it ourselves instead of spending an ungodly amount for a new one. So, thank you, Thank You, THANK YOU!! This will save my family money, anxiety, stress and all the headaches that come with an effed-up machine! 🙂 Yay.

Hello everyone I have the same problem since it doesn't say the part # I ordered the wrong part but it was based on my Amana serial number. Well the part I got was about 2 inches shorter I sent it back and got the right part. First make sure before you replace it measure the old rod with the new one and also sure that the ball socket where the rod hooks in is the same. Now my washer is so silent like new. Thanks for the video.

If my father hadn't have given this damn machine to me when my AWESOME WHIRLPOOL Industrial size washer finally gave up the ghost (after 25 yrs and a couple of DIY repairs...footpegs. why are those plastic...disaster waiting to happen) I would send this damn AMANA to the scrap yard. It's too small for us anyway. We have a king size bed, and this thing is what 3.4 cubic foot. I only use 7 plus. I must do tons and tons of laundry. When one say, oh and I never washed any King sized blankets in it. Just one bottom or top sheet and pillow cases at a time. When it started taking off for the moon, I would go in there and TRY to get the button to pause it. That's a 50 50 chance in and of itself. I always end up having to unplug it. I HATE appliances with computer controls. I was just going to go in debt and buy a whole new set b/c my industrial size whirlpool dryer finally died too. The multimeter isn't giving me the answer. I hope it's not the electrical outlet, but nothings tripped. The two are side by side and on the same electric line I believe. IDK what's wrong with it this time. I'm just mad about this washer. I've been getting along trying to wash small amounts of items, then hanging them up and putting a fan on high in front lol. Then I IRON. ugh. I got things to do, than spend several days ironing for the week. Luckily it's just myself and my husband. No kids. Most of the stuff seems to be my clothes and of course towels and whatnot. STILL the price of a basic new washing machine thru me for a loop. I'm gonna try this repair, IF I can find the shocks for it. I live in small town USA and can't leave it RN. So I guess I'll have to wait on shipping. I saw another guy repair the same thing. He made it even more easy to do looking than you. I know I'm in trouble lol. Nothing is ever that simple. NEVER. Not for me it seems. Thanks. IDK what I'm going to do yet. I just want a basic washer and dryer and no damn computerized anything. I know how to fix those. I digress. For the price of the shocks....I saw seven bucks somewhere. Prob. per shock. I can hang with that, until I find the washer I want. Again thanks for the video!

I'm pretty sure the suspension rod kit i used is the same one for your Amana model. They are not necessarily universal but many suspension rod kits fit different models. You can check and order it from parts select website for around $65 or go to your local appliance parts store.
