W11400156 Whirlpool Washer Suspension Set – Fix Excessive Vibration, Banging, or Washer Walking Across the Floor
OEM Replacement | Replaces W11187091 | Fits Whirlpool & Maytag Top-Load Washers | Fast Canada-wide shipping | Guaranteed fit
The W11400156 is the OEM suspension rod set for Whirlpool and Maytag top-load washers. The suspension rods support the wash tub and absorb the movement and vibration generated during agitation and spin cycles. When the rods wear out — due to age, heavy loads, or off-balance cycles — the tub will bang against the cabinet, the washer will vibrate excessively, or the machine will walk across the floor during spin. This is the current OEM replacement for W11187091.
This set includes all suspension rods required for a complete replacement. OEM replacement parts are not affiliated with, sponsored by, or endorsed by Whirlpool or any OEM manufacturer.

✓ Frequently Asked Questions
Does W11400156 replace W11187091?
Yes — W11400156 is the current OEM part number and directly replaces W11187091. See the compatible models list above or contact us to confirm fit for your model.
How do I know if my suspension rods are the problem?
If your washer bangs, vibrates excessively, or walks during spin, open the lid and push down on the tub — it should spring back smoothly and evenly. If it drops with little resistance or bounces unevenly, the suspension rods are worn. Contact us for diagnosis help.
Do I need to replace all rods or just the broken one?
Replace all rods at the same time. If one rod has failed, the others are likely worn to a similar degree. Replacing only one rod leaves uneven support and the symptoms will return quickly. See our parts experts for guidance.
Is this a DIY repair?
Moderate difficulty — requires removing the cabinet top panel and lifting the tub. Estimated time: 30–60 minutes. Contact us if you need guidance.
