Abstract: A suspension mount assembly for a laundry appliance with a wash unit tub disposed inside an appliance housing and a drum that is rotatably supported within the wash unit tub. A laundry compartment is provided inside the drum and the drum is rotatable about a substantially vertical axis. The wash unit tub is hung from and supported by a plurality of suspension rods. A plurality of upper suspension mount assemblies pivotally couple the suspension rods to an upper frame of the laundry appliance and a plurality of lower suspension mount assemblies couple the suspension rods to the wash unit tub. Each of the upper and lower suspension mount assemblies includes a resilient bushing that permits relative movement between the suspension rods, the upper frame, and the wash unit tub while reducing / dampening the vibrations the suspension rods transmit from the wash unit tub to the upper frame.
