Suspension components within Kenmore washers, typically made of durable metal, absorb vibrations and stabilize the drum during the spin cycle. These components are vital for minimizing noise and preventing excessive wear and tear on other parts of the appliance. A common example includes helical springs located beneath the washer drum assembly.
Properly functioning suspension systems are essential for a washers longevity and efficient operation. They ensure the drum remains balanced, reducing noise and vibration, and preventing damage to the machine’s internal components and surrounding structures. Historically, these systems have evolved from simple, less effective designs to more sophisticated mechanisms providing greater stability and quieter operation.
