Additional Information
The Samsung Washer Suspension Rod is an original equipment manufacturer (OEM) part that maintains the balance of the washing machine's tub during operation, especially when dealing with uneven loads. This component helps minimize noise, reduce vibration, and contributes to the washing machine's overall operational stability.
Replacing a faulty suspension rod can resolve common washing machine issues such as excessive movement or banging sounds during the spin cycle. Confirm compatibility with your specific washer model before ordering. Always follow safety instructions carefully when installing.
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.

Shipping was Fast and Parts fit Perfectly
July 26, 2018|joshpa1231, Los Angeles, CA
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.

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

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.

Perfect fit, half the price of most other vendord
June 10, 2018|Raffi, Undisclosed
Getting the washer top off proved harder than expected due to the factory recall installed enforcements that basically prevent future repairs (very odd setup). Installing the new rods was a breeze once the top was off.

Cheapest I could find online
May 18, 2018|dscott, Tampa, FL
I ordered 4 of these for my Samsung Washer, I had tried some other DIY hacks to prevent the dreaded "dc" error (out of balance). None of them lasted. Rather than spend more money on a new washer, I decided to just give the OEM replacement parts a shot. Everywhere else I could look they where $30+ a pop. They where $16 at Sears Parts Direct.

Remove top of vrt washer, pull each rod up and out while lift tub barrel replacing each as you go. Heavier rods and spring fixed out of balance problem.
