FAQ

If your washer frequently displays 'dc', 'UE', or 'UL' error codes, it is often a sign that the suspension rods have lost their ability to dampen vibrations. Other common symptoms include the machine shaking violently, walking across the floor during the spin cycle, or making loud banging noises as the drum hits the cabinet.
Yes, these part numbers are generally interchangeable for the compatible Samsung top-load models. Both are designed to provide the necessary 27.5" to 27.6" length required to stabilize the drum assembly.
This kit is compatible with a wide range of Samsung top-load washers, including models WA54R7200AV/US, WA54R7200AW/US, WA5AR7200AV/US, WA54R7600AV/US, WA54R7600AC/US, WA51A5505AC, WA51A5505AV, WA52A5500AV/US, WA48H7400AP/A2, WA48J7700AW/A2, and WA55A7700AV/US.
Replacing the rods is a moderate repair that typically takes 30 to 60 minutes. You will generally need a flat-head screwdriver to remove the top panel clips, a 10mm socket or wrench to remove the bolts securing the rod assemblies, and potentially a putty knife to release the top cover tabs. It is highly recommended to replace all four rods at the same time to ensure even tension and balance.
The internal grease within the rod assembly can dry out or leak over time, reducing the friction required to dampen the drum's movement. Additionally, consistently washing heavy or unbalanced loads—such as large comforters or rugs—accelerates the wear on the springs and dampening components, leading to premature failure.
While you have the top panel removed, it is a good time to inspect the tub-to-base mounting points for any signs of physical damage. You should also verify that the washer is perfectly level on the floor, as even new suspension rods cannot compensate for a machine that is not properly leveled.
