Fast and fits my machine

Had to have a second person hold top of washer open or else disconnect wiring. Went in easily and seem to be improved over factory parts.

Overall Alright
September 11, 2018

Parts worked in fixing my uneven load problem. Easy to install, took about 10-15 minutes. - 1 rod was bent, I bent back straight and it ended up working. I'm sure they would have replaced if I needed to, and this stuff happens. - Standard shipping was over a week faster than expected. This is good, unless I paid extra for expedited shipping, then I wouldn't have known that standard shipping would have sufficed. Need to be more accurate in estimated delivery times so customers don't spend the extra money if they don't need to.

Shipping was Fast and Parts fit Perfectly

The package arrived sooner than the expected date. It took me about 30 minutes to install after watching Youtube videos online. Make sure to have Sil-Glyde Lubricant ready so you can apply to the areas where friction may occur. Otherwise, the plastic will end up breaking apart. Washing machine works just like new again.

Difficult if Samsung installed recall safety parts
July 15, 2018

This would have been much easier if Samsung had not installed the safety equipment that prevents you from easily opening the lid of the washer. Here are the steps that you need to do to repair this washer: 1. Remove the 2 screws from the back that hold the washer top on. 2. Remove the 5 or 6 screws that hold the plastic back onto the control panel. 3. Remove the 2 screws that hold the back of the control panel down. 4. Detatch the 3 connectors behind the control panel. 5. Lift the control panel forward (sort of hinged) 6. Remove the screw attaching the ground wire. 7. Pop out the circular device (about 3 inches in diameter) that is attached to the plastic hose. 8. Use a putty knife (or butter knife) to release the lid on the front of the washer. 9. Lift the washer top up and forward, following the path of the safety devices installed on the left and right sides of the washer. You can see them if you peer between the washer and the lid. 10. Follow online guides or videos to install the 4 suspension rods.

Should Have Been The Original Part

The repair was extremely simple and replacing the rods instantly resolved the "unbalanced load" error that we were getting with every cycle.

Great product/great price
June 22, 2018

After having the lid recall repair performed, the top was harder to take off than I thought. Once the top was off, very easy repair to perform. Pretty much a 10 minute job once the top was off.
