Frigidaire Washer Suspension Assembly 5304536279 – Fix a Washer That Vibrates, Bangs, or Walks Across the Floor

When the suspension assembly fails, your washer drum loses its dampening support — causing violent vibration, loud banging during the spin cycle, and a machine that physically moves across the floor. Left unrepaired, a failed suspension accelerates drum bearing wear and can damage the cabinet. The 5304536279 is the genuine OEM Frigidaire replacement that restores smooth, balanced operation.

✓ Frequently Asked Questions

How do I know if the suspension assembly is the problem? If your washer bangs loudly during spin and the drum feels loose when pushed by hand, the suspension rods or springs are the most likely cause. Check all four corners — if any rod is detached or the spring is broken, replace the full set.

Should I replace all suspension rods at once? Yes — if one has failed, the others are at the same wear point. Replacing the full set in one visit prevents a repeat repair within months.

Is this a genuine OEM part? Yes — 5304536279 is a genuine Frigidaire OEM part.
