Samsung Top Loading Washer Out of Balance Spin Cycle Repair/DIY FIX/Suspension Rods Replacement

Рет қаралды 82,301

Жыл бұрын

If you have a Samsung Top Loading Washer that keeps going out of balance on the spin cycle this video will show you how to repair it. The parts are about $50.00 and it could save you hundreds over calling a repairman. I did the repair in about 30 minutes. It involves replacing the "suspension rods" that support the tub in Samsung top-loading washers. Some people call these "shocks" but suspension rods are the proper name. You will also need a tube of White Lithium Grease. I bought mine from Home Depot for about $8.00. The rods were $40.00. Before the repair, my washer was completely unusable. After the repair, my washer worked perfectly. You will need only a few basic hand tools. These include a thin, stiff, putty knife, a pair of pliers, and a screwdriver. Please wear old clothes and gloves as the old grease is pretty ugly stuff. If you are fairly handy this is an easy repair. Thanks for watching. This is my first video but many more will follow on a variety of subjects. If you subscribe and like the video it will be easier to find the new videos. Thanks, Dan

I was out in the garage cursing at our washer as I tried again, in vain, to balance the load of clothes. I was ready to call some repair folks (I am pretty handy, but was just not in the mood to fix anything) when my awesome wife came out and said "Hey look at this video I found! It sounds like the same issue we're having and it's fixable!" Now the washer is opened up, the springs are out and I am waiting for Amazon to deliver the new ones. Thanks so much!

Thanks so much for this video! I know it takes time and I really appreciate that! Because of you, I was able to fix my washer, by myself, and save a ton of money. My dad taught me how to be handy and my knowledge of tools. He passed away 12/13/2023 (He could work on and fix anything) so, unfortunately, I no longer have his guidance. Your video helped walk me through it. My washer is back to working like the first day I bought it! Thank you so much! Means the world to me 🙏❤️ *also... I believe the ones that say they did this repair and it worked for a while then stopped working again may be overloading their washer by trying to wash too big or too heavy of a load. But, I do recognize that they don't make things like they used to! It's been 4 mos since I repaired mine and it's still working fine.

I am not sure. I replaced mine over a year ago and it still works perfectly. There is a nut at the bottom center of the tub (on the inside) under a cover. That nut can become loose and even break. It is accessed by removing the cover and it is reverse threaded so you turn it counter-clockwise to tighten it. I have not done the repair myself and do not know anything else.

I don't recommend using white lithium grease, I would get "dampening gel/grease" instead. It actually slows the movement of the rods and springs (its sticky), rather than lubricate them for ease of movement.

Just an FYI. I purchased a Samsung washer at Lowes 3 years back and after about a year, it started this ballance issue. I saw this type of fix on KZfaq but opted to call a service tech. He suggested I "save my money for a new washer." I spent the money and ordered the tencion rods. It worked for about a month. I drug the thing out to the road.

@@lenacheney That probably means the washer at the bottom center of the tub has come loose or broken. Inside the washer at the bottom, there is a cover over a bolt that holds the tub to the mechanism below it. If you remove the cover there is a large nut that secures the tub.

Next time remember that the weight/load compresses the spring so greasing up the rod is a messy waste of time and grease. Don't feel bad, most people follow that same pursuit, greasing the wrong direction.🤔😊😂 One last thing, remove the lid tape before locking the top down.

Timing is everything… Just recently I paid a service company $300 to do this exact repair. They did a good job and fixed my washer. But the reality is this - if you are handy around the house - and you are or you wouldn’t be watching “how to repair” videos - Dan shows you exactly how to do this repair for just the cost of the parts. Had I watched this video before I called the service company, I would have saved a LOT of money.

Replacing the springs is always a possibility. But after reading the comments some people are still having issues and it could be that your washer needs to be calibrated. some samsung washers require you to hold "temp" and "delay end" for 3-5 sec and it should display CB on the screen some will require you to click temp, delay end and the power button too display CB after CB shows up on the screen you hit start and it will calibrate for about 2-5 min. Try this before replacing springs cause it's FREE! And could be your issue. But refer to video if still having issue.

@danfixeseverything Ай бұрын

There is a large nut under the center of the agitator at the bottom of the tub. When the old suspension rods allow the tub to go out of balance and shake severely the nut can loosen or even break. You must remove the cover at the center of the agitator, then remove the screw holding the agitator on and remove the agitator. Then you will see the large nut. Use a wrench to tighten it. It is a left-hand thread so you must tighten it counterclockwise. If it is broken, replace it. Here are links to two videos I found that show how to fix it. I hope this helps you.

@danfixeseverything 10 ай бұрын

The clips are not visible. They are about six inches in from the sides on both sides. If you use a thin stiff putty knife you should be able to feel them. This was the hardest part of the job. To release them you have to push in on them while prying up on the top. You may find other videos that show the process better than my video. This was the first video I had ever done. I was happy because it saved me about $300.00. If you pry a little you may be able to see the clips with a flashlight. They are fairly stiff. I am not aware of any other method of holding the top on. I am handy but not a full time appliance repairman so I am not familiar with every brand. Best of luck to you.

Just got done replacing my rods and ran a self clean, quiet as a whistle as it was knocking loudly prior. I didn't need a putty knife to pinch those two clips, i have a plastic prier and pried the top off as those two clips in front just snap on to cover. I forgot to unscrew the metal panel piece oh well, junky samsung washer, same as yours, ours is rusty in the bleach dispenser. Any idea how i replace the top piece? I was looking for a part but can't find anything on how to remove the existing one and replacing it. I don't want to replace the whole top with glass lid. Anywhoo, no more knocking and i think the washer had issues filling properly so will test a load of clothes after self clean. I had replaced the whole water inlet a few years ago. The back corner ones were a little tough as my washer is in a small closet so hard to get around haha.

update, same crap happening, in spin mode about 4 mins it adds 18 mins and does rinse again so the rods i had bought were junk, lasted a few months, also this time i took the inside plate off in drum to get to the Spinner nut, that was completly broken, replaced that, still same. One point it sounded like a machine gun. Will probably look for better quality rods and give it another shot .

I'm having a hard time finding the part for my washer with the model number DC68-04090A-00 / WA50R5400AV- do you have any advice on what I should order? Thank you in advance.

I searched Amazon with just the WA50R5400AV number for suspension rods and this was the result I got. www.amazon.com/s?k=wa50r5400av%2Fus+suspension+rods&ref=nb_sb_noss There are several to choose from.

we have this same problem so we replaced the rods. it is still doing the same thing do you know anything else we can try? thank you

@danfixeseverything 9 ай бұрын

Yes, inside the washer at the bottom there is a cover over a bolt that holds the tub to the mechanism below it If you remove the cover there is a large nut that secures the tub. The action of the tub swinging so far out of balance due to the bad rods may have loosened or broken the nut. I believe it is reversed threaded so you would go counter clockwise to tighten it. Please let me know your results. I hope that works. I saw it on another channel's video.

That probably means the washer at the bottom center of the tub has come loose or broken. Inside the washer at the bottom, there is a cover over a bolt that holds the tub to the mechanism below it.

I did the repair. Was way simpler than I thought it would be. BUT went to do a load of laundry and it kept filling 😮. I emptied it and drained it, did a calibration but it’s still filling until I turn it off. Any thoughts ?

@danfixeseverything 7 ай бұрын

In Google or KZfaq search for "samsung top load washer keeps filling with water." It may be low water pressure. If you turned your water off, make sure you turn it back on fully and that the hose is not kinked. There are sensors that go bad also that are addressed by other KZfaq videos. Good luck.

I changed the suspension rods and it did not help my problem. Washer is level. I have washed small loads with just socks and shirts, I have washed sheets, blankets, every weight and water level, and I also checked the nut at the bottom of the tub. It's still off balance and codes with every wash. My daughter washed 2 quilts that were so so heavy once wet and I'm sure that's when my problems started. Any suggestions?

Could it just be out of balance somehow?

@danfixeseverything 9 ай бұрын

There are two things I know of that cause it to be out of balance with even a small load of evenly distributed clothing. The most common is the suspension rods that I show how to repair in this video. The other is a broken or loose nut at the bottom of the tub. It is accessed from the top. It often happens as a result of weak suspension rods causing violent out-of-balance problems. If replacing the rods does not solve the problem then the cover at the bottom center of the tub needs to be removed and the nut needs to be tightened or replaced. I have not done this repair, as replacing the rods solved my problem. I believe the nut is a left hand thread, so turn it the opposite direction to tighten (counter-clockwise).

A ton of samsung models will also give an error due to a faulty control board. Samsung is notorious for having bad electrical problems with their appliances. I would not recommend just buying an expensive control board. Might be better to replace at that point.

What if I replace the rods but it keeps doing the same thing

@danfixeseverything Жыл бұрын

Did that happen to you? I replaced mine and it has worked perfectly so far. It has been about two months. When I had the problem I watched several KZfaq videos and they all agreed that the suspension rods were the solution. Washing machines are complex devices and of course, there is the possibility that there is a different problem. This problem and solution are very common. I hope it works out for you too. Dan

I have the same issue. I replaced my rods but it’s still unbalanced. I can’t find anything online to help me figure it out. I’m thinking maybe the bearings are bad and that’s causing it?? I for sure needed to replace the rods but now I am at my wits end with this machine. It’s only 2.5 years old too……

@danfixeseverything Жыл бұрын

@@user-qg2ve1ig7v There is a large nut under the center of the agitator at the bottom of the tub. When the old suspension rods allow the tub to go out of balance and shake severely the nut can loosen or even break. You must remove the cover at the center of the agitator, then remove the screw holding the agitator on and remove the agitator. Then you will see the large nut. Use a wrench to tighten it. It is a left-hand thread so you must tighten it counterclockwise. If it is broken, replace it. Here are links to two videos I found that show how to fix it. I hope this helps you.
