Samsung DC97-05280W Washer Suspension Rod Genuine Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) Part for Samsung, 4-Pack

It’s crazy Samsung wanted almost $60 each. And I got these on Amazon for around $40 for all 4. And now my washer is working great. It’s just going through loads of wash now I would have never thought. Because the rods were bad it would bang around and reset the washer and it would take like a hour for one load. Now supper fast loads again.

Easy to install and makes a huge difference. Would definitely recommend

My Samsung top load washer machine started to wobble so bad that it would reset the spin cycle to rinse. It would do this over and over again if it wasn’t caught. The issue is the springs on the suspension rods get weak which equalizes the dampening. There are lots of DIY cheap fixes OUT, which sort of worked, but installing these new rods were just as easy, and cheap enough. These are direct replacement, not cheap knock-offs.

Our Samsung washer couldn’t complete a single load without going off-balance. After a little research, there were two possible issues. One was a nut under everything in the center of the tub. Evidently it can get loose. This wasn’t the problem for ours.The second “remedy” was the four suspension rods (this product). I comparison shopped, and these were the best for the least.Needless to say, found a YouTube video to remove/install.. I also want to add, that the original suspension rods looked completely normal (not broken or damaged). Visual inspection can’t be trusted with these. Replace all four, and it’ll save you hundred on repair costs. Pretty easy install… my dad and I did it in about 30 minutes.Since they were replaced, my machine works like new again! I haven’t had one load (even bedding/heavy loads) go off-balance since!!They came pre-greased as well (no need to buy any lithium grease/equivalent)

Good value in relation to the whole washing machine unit.Grease was a bit dry and in totally the wrong place - advise the grease should be packed separately so it can be applied where it should be, during/after installation.Where the grease has been pre-applied makes the process of fitting the springs messy.That's the only reason for the one star reduction.

I was in doubt these could be my problem. My Samsung washer would not spin much at speed without getting off balance. I had to cut laundry loads in half to make it through a cycle. I was thinking I should buy new washer or either call repair shop. I figured worst case I would be out almost 70 dollars if I fixed myself. I watched a YouTube video and purchased these new spring rods. It worked, I no longer have off balance or uneven loads. All 4 springs fixed my problem. Would definitely do again if needed. Really simple to do after watching video.

Note the picture. It is the new updated version of these Suspension Rods. I was sent an older version, without the black rubber piece to stiffen the springs, and different color plastic pieces. I specifically purchased from this seller because these are advertised as Samsung OEM. What was sent to me was most certainly not. I have no doubt that if you receive the correct part it will be high quality and work correctly. But don't let them scam you by advertising Samsung OEM, showing a picture of the new updated version, and sending you some cheap knock-off crap part that, even worse, isn't even the new updated version. Yes, the refund process is quick and easy, but now I'm waiting for a few more days for my purchase from a different seller.

These were just what my washing machine needed. The spin cycle could not complete without throwing an off balance error (dC) after hitting the sides of the machine frame. I had to constantly take out wet heavy clothes and try to rebalance the load, sometimes spinning only a few items at a time. I could not have more than 1 towel without it going off balance at even low spin settings. These replacements made a big difference and now I can wash/spin heavy loads and never have a problem with load balance. It has been around a month and we have done at least 20 loads without any issues. You can see the difference in these rods, as they are thicker than originals and have a black rubber damper to keep the washing machine from wobbling. Super good quality and very reasonably priced! I'm glad I bought these here and would highly recommend.
