NEW 4 Pcs DC97-05280W Suspension Rod 26 Inches Long Compatible for Samsung Washer Mame by OEM Manufacturer PS11719937 AP5966911-2 YEAR WARRANTY

UPDATE: Several months in and still working better than new!These are the best ones out there, superior to the original rods in my Samsung Wa422prhdwr/aa. I first tried to fix the dreaded DC errors with the homemade fix using plastic tubing and zip ties. Worked for awhile, but the reality is, when the springs are worn out, you need to replace the parts. I researched all the rods on Amazon and elsewhere, and found that these are the best, even though you can get others for half the price. It’s well worth it in this case. I also bought some 1” dense foam seat cushions I cut into pieces to replace the lame 1/2” low density foam padding on the 4 sides of the washer where the tub bangs against the walls. This seems to have helped keep the tub more stable during the spin cycle. With both of those fixes, no more DC errors, water bill is lower, and my wife thinks I’m a genius!

Unfortunately, the Samsung washers are notorious for the springs. Given that my washer is about 10 years old, it’s understandable. My washer would get off-balance and cancel the spin cycle with even the smallest of loads. I scoured the internet for a fix and came across these heavier-duty suspension rods. Because “I can fix anything”, I tried the hack of zip-tying a piece of hose over the original springs. I had to ‘fix’ it and replace the zip ties about 4 times in only a few months. Growing tired of constantly having to fix it, I bit the bullet and bought a set of these. Replacing these took less time than ‘fixing’ the hack and I haven’t had a problem since. I should’ve just bought these to begin with! I love only having to run the clothes through the dryer in one cycle and not having to worry about ‘fixing’ it again.

Our washer kept restarting the rinse cycle when there was only a few minutes lift in the spin cycle. It would not fully complete the spin cycle & clothes would still be very wet. Did some research and found out these rods were what needed to be replaced. Ordered them from Amazon at a much cheaper price than what most other places had. Got them 2 days later & installed them. Super easy installation. Our only issue was trying to release a clip on the top of the washer in order to fully remove the top piece in order to install them. Once we figured out how to release the clip from a tight area everything else was super easy with replacing the rods.

I have a 7 year old Samsung model WA422PRHDWR/AA that was throwing the DC error code on almost every load. These worked out perfectly for me. The appliance sites show the DC97-16350C as the replacement, so I contacted Samsung directly and they confirmed this was a suitable replacement. I like how the spring is reinforced with a heavy duty plastic ring (unlike the original version). I'd seen quick fixes online where people were using rubber tubing, zip tied to the springs as a cheap fix, but ultimately they'd fail. I installed these today and the tub spins like brand new, or better.

This product really worked, the only problem I had was getting the top off...but the overall installation took no more than 15 minutes if that. Hopefully my washing machine will last another 7 years...A lot of temporary hacks on YouTube but I believe replacing it will be more beneficial.

Been fighting with this washer for 2 years. Couldn’t keep balanced during spin cycles & caused a fault & restart. These new shocks did the trick. 20 mins to install, now works perfectly.

The rods came in good condition and arrived promptly. I used them to fix a Wa456DRHDSU/AA Samsung washer that was throwing a DC code. It made it so I could wash clothes without a problem. However, on a larger load with bedding it did throw the DC code even when it was on bedding/delicate mode. They are expensive but they worked when other solutions didn't.

Thank you to who ever manufactured the suspension rods. We were about to go and buy a new machine, thanks to the innerweb that wasn't necessary. Super easy to install and the machine is functioning normal.
