DC66-00470A & DC66-00470B Washer Shock Absorbers - Pack of 4
Key Features
- Enhanced Vibration Dampening: Specifically designed to absorb the kinetic energy produced by high-speed spinning, keeping the washer tub stable and preventing excessive "walking" or shaking.
- Friction-Resistance Engineering: Features internal dampening components and high-grade grease to ensure smooth piston travel and consistent performance throughout the life of the machine.
- Optimized 4-Point Suspension: This set includes both "A" and "B" versions to match the specific resistance requirements of each corner of the Samsung washer tub.
- Heavy-Duty Construction: Manufactured from high-strength reinforced plastic and steel to withstand the constant mechanical stress of large laundry loads.
- OEM-Spec Fitment: Engineered as a direct drop-in replacement for original Samsung dampers, ensuring the mounting holes and lengths align perfectly with the factory suspension pins.

Compatibility & Fitment
This suspension kit is a standard replacement for many Samsung front-load washing machines. Key compatible series include:
- Samsung WF Series: Fits a massive range of front-loaders (e.g., WF42H5200AW, WF365BTBGWR, WF210ANW, WF45H6300AG).
- Samsung WA Series: Compatible with select high-efficiency top-load models that utilize this specific piston-style dampener.
- Note on Placement: Many Samsung models use different resistance levels on the front vs. the rear. Ensure you match the "A" and "B" parts to their original positions on the chassis.
When to Replace
- Excessive Vibrating/Shaking: The washer tub hits the side panels during the spin cycle, even with a small or balanced load.
- The "Thumping" Sound: A loud, rhythmic banging noise occurs as the machine gains speed, indicating the shocks are no longer controlling the tub's movement.
- Unbalanced Load Errors: The machine frequently stops and displays "DC" or "UE" error codes because the tub is swaying too far out of alignment.
- Visible Oil or Leakage: You notice oil or grease leaking from the shock absorber housing, indicating the internal seals have failed.
- No Resistance: If you remove a shock and can easily slide the piston in and out with one finger, it has lost its dampening ability and is "blown."
Installation Tips
- Safety First: Unplug the washer and shut off the water supply. Accessing these parts typically requires removing the front or rear panel (depending on your specific model).
- Lay it Down: For many front-loaders, it is easiest to access the shocks by carefully laying the washer on its side or back (use a moving blanket to protect the finish).
- Check the Pins: Most shocks are held in place by plastic locking pins. Inspect these pins for wear; if they are cracked or thinned, they should be replaced along with the shocks.
- The Compression Test: Once installed, push down on the tub from the top. It should move down and then return to center smoothly without bouncing. If it bounces like a car with bad struts, the shocks are not seated or are defective.
- Lubricate Sparingly: If the mounting pins are difficult to slide through the new shock eyelets, use a tiny amount of liquid dish soap. Avoid using petroleum-based grease as it can degrade the plastic eyelets over time.
