Thanks for the tips. Three things I'd add to this: 1. Perform a balance calibration when you're finished. Hold down "Temp" and "Delay End" buttons simultaneously for a few seconds and when it reads "cal", press start. It takes about 2 minutes to run through. 2. I pushed the right rear rod down the right side at an angle so I could weave the hose around it (from the top end) as I brought it up into position. Fighting it around the spring didn't leave enough room to do it without potentially damaging the hose. 3. Use a headlamp or a helper for the back right. If you drop your flashlight, you'll need monkey arms to reach it. I can't play basketball to save my life, but I can reach high shelves and to the bottom of washing machines (barely).

@gened9632
@gened9632 3 месяца назад
@@mistyharper9722 Mine is not 100% either. It's not as bad as before I changed the shocks, but it certainly has to be very well evenly dispersed before there's no issues. It's almost like loads too small cause more of an issue. The other thing that I found that was causing an issue was a code that came up 4C. It turned out that the drain hose was too far down the wall, not allowing enough air to vent and the machine reads it as a clog. These seem to be quite temperamental. I'm going to tear mine completely apart and figure it out. Unfortunately, it won't be for about 3 more months. I'm working out of town right now and I"m only home for a few waking hours on the weekend. My project will wrap up in Sept and I always get a couple of free months to recoup from the stressors of managing an out of town/night work construction project. So, sorry I can't get you a my findings sooner. Quality time with my wife is priority and I don't want to wake her on the weekends by me banging away with tools on a stupid washing machine. (It will involve copious amounts of tool throwing, bourbon, and profanity)

Thank you for this great video! I caught the “screwdrivers” as well and I love the fact that you were such a good sport about it when it was brought up instead of getting angry. On a tight budget, so I went with Amazon (Tomoon) rods that were highly rated with a lot of positive comments about how they are thicker and stouter than the factory rods. Just installed them, calibrated the machine and spun a huge load of wet towels with no problems. I didn’t cut my arms or hands, either! 🙌🏼 I did wear rubber gloves to take the old, nasty, sticky rods out and lubed the new rods with white lithium. Thanks again!

Thanks for the video, but I have a couple suggestions that should make it easier for beginners like myself. 1. Mention that the metal on the inside is EXTREMELY sharp. I cut myself on the forearm which required six stitches. 2. Take an existing rod out and measure it before you order. I have the exact same model that is used in your video. I used the link in the description to order the rods. I verified that the model number was listed in the description on the Amazon ordering page. The rods that came were just over 26", while the existing rods are 27". 3. Instead of trying to use one hand to disconnect the tension cables (this is where I cut my arm), remove the pack panel of the washing machine. This is done by removing the four screws on the back. This opens up the back of the machine allowing greater access to the suspension cables. 4. Be really careful while the lid is being propped up. If it slips, like it did on me one runs the risk of disconnecting some existing cables. This happened to me and cut the grounding wires (green, green/yellow wire) on the rear left side. 5. Like someone mentioned before, do a re-calibration before using. I'm bringing these issue up so others don't make the same mistakes that happened to me. I have replaced the rods and the washing machine works like new. Thanks again for the video.

Thank you 😊 so much for your detailed video, u made it look easy!! We should have wore gloves cause weird sticky greese got all hands from old part. I think we put too much effort in trying to raise drum but if you can get rod spring to give a little the top was the hardest for us. We did not have to release wires in back left seems our wires had length enough to raise top high enough. We have noticed our new Samsung washer just like the past one only last 4 years b4 having to replace the tension rods, disappointed in #samsung. We did run "calibration" which is found in the book. Definitely recommend doing that after installation. 1 load success yay! Thanks Amazon 4 for $45.00 & your video.....success.

@gened9632

The springs just weaken. You'll start getting a ub (unbalanced) code on almost every wash. If you watch videos to diagnose, people will push down and it will bounce back like a 94 Civic with broken shocks. Mine wasn't nearly that noticeable. It just rocked to the sides like it was floating. It's just a rod with retaining cups on the top and springs with an inverse retaining cup on the bottom. The tub just floats on them.

Jam foam pool noodles around the drum to help restrict movement. Even new suspension rods don't fully solve unbalance issues as they are too fragile/soft even when new.

The Samsung OEM suspension is very expensive, but it is recommended. Call this number and have you model number ready to get OEM parts: 800-347-2745. Other than that some Samsung have a Tub ring with fluid in it that is supposed to help balance the machine. That could have gotten a hole it or may have a problem with it. Best of luck

I ordered these rods but now the tub sits too high and I can’t put the top back on. Any ideas on what the problem is? My washer is inoperable now. It’s the exact same model and ordered the same aftermarket rods.

Very nice video! Just did the swap on mine and i thought everything went smoothly.However, now my washer just flashes at me when it comes to the spin and rinse stage. I noticed when removing the original shock rods the back right rod had a plastic bracket (believe you call it a pressure switch) attached to the rod and the cable was wrapped around the rod several times. Is the wrapping portion causing the issue?? I didnt wrap it to where its tight
@appliancerepairamerican
@appliancerepairamerican 4 месяца назад
not unless it is being pinched. it is a hollow straw used to measure pressure as water fills the tub so it knows how much water is in it. if it is pinched or gets a hole or clog in it the machine will not know how much water is in it

Thanks for the vid, the back right torsion has a hose it needs to go back in like it was, right? and it shows you putting a few screws back in on the upper side of the back panel ( 3:51 ) ... why? it didn't show you taking them out. Thankx

Hello thanks for the video. I was changing out my suspension rods on a very similar Samsung. The pressure hose in the back left hand corner was twisted around the rod. I was careful to twist it around the new rod. The top of the pressure hose is undone and I can’t see where to attach it to? I’m hoping it just sticks out the back and is no big deal? Thanks again

Thanks for the video. I just repaired my wa50t5300ac/us. I did a test run on "spin only" and all is well. I used Amazon rods. My question is, did I suppose to coil the clear tube around the right side rear rod like it was originally, because I forgot and I did not.
@appliancerepairamerican
@appliancerepairamerican Месяц назад
yes, it helps secure the hose to the pressure switch so it does not pull out during heavy movements. You should be ok, but if you start to have other problems check that to make sure the hose remained plugged in

Yes, sometimes it will only bang when it has a load in it. Usually you can test if the suspension is bad by pressing down on the drum and when you release it will bounce. The problem with the Samsung is that the new suspension rods are expensive

We replaced original suspension rods with aftermarket “upgrade” rods recommended in another video, from Amazon. Drum was banging around again in no time. And when I try to find OEM, they are no longer available, and/or cost same price for one rod as for 4 aftermarket. So very frustrating. I’m never buying this brand appliance again.

We decided to try again after the green “upgrades” bought through Amazon failed shortly after installation. We bought a different “brand” from a different Amazon seller, which had lots of positive reviews. Rods were thicker and spring had a 1” long rubber gasket around part of the spring. So far no problems (after about a week and a couple loads a day). 😎

@appliancerepairamerican
@appliancerepairamerican 3 месяца назад
Some times the inner and outer tub become separated due to corrosion or a loose tub nut. In some samsung there is also a balance in the tub ring . These three problems can also cause the issue. The inner, metal tub should only spin inside the outer tub. It should not move independently in any other way

possible bad rods. If you did not get the Samsung OEM rods. The aftermarket ones on amazon may not have done the trick. you also have to make sure you cross reference your specific model number with the correct part. There are other issues that could cause those symptoms too. The inner tub can be separated from the outer tub. The machine can be off level. Some Samsung have a tub ring on top that can screw up the balance too.

The feet are adjustable to help level the machine. Check to make sure the inner tub is secured to the outer tub. If you place one hand on the outer tub and the other on the metal in er tub you should not be able to wiggle the inner tub inside the outer. It should only spin. There is a large nut that can come loose or the tubs sometimes erodes
