Thank you for this excellent video! I followed your advice and used the zip ties to lock 2 1/2" pieces of cut garden hose around the springs and my washer works perfectly now. Prior to this, I was shopping for a new washer. In 30 minutes you helped me fix a problem at no cost other than some old hose and zip ties I had in my garage. You are awesome and thanks again for posting this!
@@andrewb7104man I did it the other day, got two loads out of it and it's not working again. I'm gonna get someone to look at it but it's the same thing. I don't know if the hose slipped off, but I'm ready to set the fucker on fire. So to save my sanity I'm letting someone else fuck around with it.
Oh my gosh THANK YOU! My wife has been driven up a wall from our Samsung washing machine doing this - endless rinse & spin cycle, refill... over & over again. It would get terribly off balance with small loads of just 2 or 3 towels. So this weekend, I finally had enough & thankfully found this video. Used the 5/8" thick pieces of water hose, about 2" long each, with 3 zipties to secure it around each suspension spring. Spent less than 20$ for everything. Accessed it from underneath by flipping it on it's side. Did it all in about 1 hour. Completely fixed it! You're my hero sir!
This did the trick! We have been dealing with the shaking for like 6 months. I finally got serious about looking to fix it and came across this video! It was great and cheap to do. I did the take off the top method which was easier for me.
Thank you ! This worked Samsung Washer WA5451ANW XAA 02 Used 2 ft. PVC Disposal Discharge Hose -Home Depot ($5.99 -5/2022) Additionally, to stop too much side to side motion- Lodged commercial cleaning sponges between washer drum and metal body (front, both sides & back). There was thin, worn sponge already.in these areas. Access- Moved machine 1.5 feet away from wall and propped machine back with a cinder block under the front-- to get 2 front springs With machine standing regularly, Took off thin metal panel off machine back to reach in and get back springs while sitting on floor. Also stuffed sponges on both sides and at the back of the drum from this area. Opened washer lid (as if washing clothes) and squeezed sponge under front lip between the front of the washer drum and metal front of the washer.
Holy hell this actually worked. I have a different samsung but did the same steps in the video and its spinning normally again!! Hallelujah thank you so much! I was about to throw this away and get a new one because it just kept filling up with water over and over again every time it would get to spinning!
Thanks CW. This fix worked for me. After a SPIN, the cycle was going back to RINSE but it seems to got fixe after I used this fix. I just want to share that it is rather difficult to pull the coil rods out from the Top hence i fixed this from the bottom opening. Thanks again!
Just wanted to add an updated comment! PLEASE PLEASE TRY THIS GUYS METHOD IF YOUR WASHING MACHINE HAS THE SAME ISSUE OR PROBLEM, LITERALLY SAVED ME SO MUCH MONEY, USED WATER HOSE AND $2 ZIP TIES!! THANK YOU, THANK YOU, WORKED WONDERS AND SHUT THE WIFE UP LOL
Thank you so much for this. It was a lot more involved than I thought getting the top off and all the things unplugged and reverse but it's running like butter now. I'm so impressed! Thanks again 😁
Thank you so much! Our Samsung washer was doing this and driving me crazy. We used your hose with zip ties suggestion and it's been smooth sailing ever since. Genius hack!
Fixed issue with my Samsung. Bolt was already tight. Purchased 1 feet piece of 1 inch inner diameter vinyl pipe. Cut four 2 inch pieces, spliced open vertically and wrapped around each spring and tied each with 3 wire ties. 1 inch inner diameter does not fully wrap around spring and small gap is left but don’t worry it fixed my problem and now washer does not wobble and completes the cycle again. Thank you for sharing your knowledge. 🙏🏽
So thankful to have found your video! I had used every expletive in my vocabulary while waiting by my washer, only to have it be out of balance, bang around upon spinning and reset to fill again with water. Grrrr. I chose to work from the bottom and had no trouble reinforcing the springs with some old garden hose and zip ties. Thank you so much. Sometimes it's the little things in life that make you happy.
This was the perfect fix! Samsung and the other manufacturers have upgraded the suspension rod springs which have a spring damper on them. This is a good fix . I cut 4 1/4” lengths of 5/8 hose sliced vertically and wrapped the spring with the length I cut and used three zip ties per rod. Works perfectly! Thank you for the advice! Wade
I do appliance repair and I've been looking for a way to fix these rods. Some of the Samsung rods are almost $100 apiece. This looks like a great idea! Now, I do have to mention that the nut on his machine is nowhere near tight enough. They are either hammered on with a spanner wrench or an impact wrench. There is no way possible to even get it close to tight enough with channelocks.
I did the garden hose trick with zip ties. 3 zip ties per spring. Was easy enough to do with the washer on its side without having take the top off. I was just able wash a decent size load including 4 beach towels, with no issues. This certainly would have caused problems before the fix. Thank you very much for sharing. I was happy to fix it w/o having to take the top off, or buy anything!
Washer was having this issue and vibrating violently. After researching a bit, I came to the conclusion I needed to replace the suspension rods. After successfully doing so, my problem still persisted. Then, I came across your video, and it was the first time anyone suggested a loose bolt under the agitator plate. Checked mine and found I could easily turn it with my fingers. After tightening it, my problem was resolved. Wish I came about your video the first time, would have saved me a couple bucks. The rods were probably due to be replaced anyways. Thanks for your video! Saved me a lot of frustration.
Here's my take on the situation. It's the logic programmed into the controller. Only it's not programmed for bad hanger rods not doing their dampening job. The controller thinks the load is off balance beyond it programmed tolerance. The machine is programmed to refill and agitate in order to rebalance the load without human intervention. And since the bad rods make just about every load give an off balance command, it keeps doing it again and again. Feel free to comment, correct, complain, etc.
Yes, I think you are right. Because mine works just perfect, other than this UE code happening. Then, it spins most of the water out, and you think it's done. And, POOF -- it restarts by adding more water and repeating the cycle.
Well, I followed all the instructions using pieces of garden hose, but I am still getting the unbalanced clunking. i also made sure the center bolt was tight in the drum. I have ordered the 4 rods and will try those. Maybe my springs were just too far gone for the hose pieces to support. I appreciate the video which allowed me to figure out how to get the rods replaced. Thanks!
UPDATE. I got 4 new suspension rods and put them in and it spins like a dream now! The rods were about $72 for the four pack and it was another 5 bucks for some lithium grease that I placed on the surface of the plastic piece at the top of the spring and the place where the top of the rod sits in the washer frame. It made a slight squeaking noise during the first run, but that's was gone by the third load. No more knocking and rocking!! Thank you for showing how easy it was to remove and replace these rods.
I started dealing with this problem and tried all these things and had the same problem you did. Once I started thinking about it I ended up taking apart the white plastic yoke that’s cradled on the far end of the spring with the rod in the center. I noticed there was damaged rubber material inside of these jokes and starting to realize what this piece of hardware did. A couple of years ago I replace the damaged rubber with fuel line I altered to fit inside of the yolk But it’s only last about a year. I do feel the engineering department this company could’ve done a lot better on the dampening design with this shock absorbing system
THIS WORKED.....THANK YOU!!!....after months of great swearing oaths and referring to dieties not really known in the Northern hemisphere....and about to go trot line fishing with this wee beasty eyed beastie....I tried this....It worked fist time Grrrreat work around. Again many thanks!! "May ya be Ina heaven tirty minutes afore da devil knows your a gone"
The 30 dollar amazon specials fixed mine(at least for now) instantly. After seen lots of stuff about the special grease, I was worried when these arrived, as the old ones were very sticky and shock absorber like. Much more than the new ones. But they work just fine. This machine is getting close to that magic part obsolete no replacement age. I'd pay $2000 dollars for a NIB 1960s or 70s American machine with mechanical controller. THOSE were built to last, and they did.
My wife and I were just discussing trying to find an old machine. So tired of these new computerized piece of junk . Had one for 6 months, and the motherboard went out. Now a few years later it's this issue. Wish they built things like that used to
Many of the new washers have gone to the 4 rod suspension. I just had a amana washer suspension rods go bad (shock absorbers). The amana had piece of rubber like material which dampens the up-down and back and fort movement of the drum. I tried a similar method of pipe insulation wrapped around the rod. It would help the up and action, but not the sideways action. Parts are extremely scarce right now, somes are months on back order. These units should have a balancing spring between upper tub and the suspension rod for more stability. I opted the get a new washer (which is hard to do with most units on back order.
To be honest I don't know if this video helped or not. But I did everything you said to do. Then I found out my wife was only washing 20 face towels at a time. Imagine the machine balancing that load on a fast spin 😆. Overall great video. (I cut up a $60 hose. And don't know for sure if there was ever a problem) 🤣🤣
Throw it out. I bought one for 1100 dollars 10 years ago. Garbage all kinds of problems. Lg indestructible. Replaced a boot after 5 years of heavy use. Easy to work on. Was amazed
After removing the plastic cover, the first bolt that you loosen, is released/removed by going clockwise correct? Then when bottom plate has been removed, the large nut is tightened counter clockwise as you mentioned. I’m having a very difficult time removing the first bolt. Please advise, thank you.
I got lucky and was just a loose nut I used a monkey wrench and a mallet to tighten it my washer is a lg but it was the same set up but it tightened to the right. Thank you for the video very helpful
I have a model WA48H7400AW/A2 Samsung washer and toughening up the stabilizer rod springs fixed my problem. Used sections of garden hose with zip ties. I was getting UE, U8 occasionally and sometimes no code. But the machine would refill and drain over and over. Machine didn't shake like in this video. Make sure to wear some latex type gloves as those rods are very greasy. Thanks a bunch.
Nice video exactly what’s happening with mine. Hey would you happen to know how to avoid the machine from filling with too much water when u only have a few items? I can’t seem to figure out how to make it stop wasting so much water.
Thank you so much for the well put together video. It worked great! one question; somehow I get everything back together, but now the water is no longer working???any idea what i May have done to possibly prevent the water from the machine??!? Gratitude sir
When you laid down the washer the water valves wiring connection to the PCB might have gotten loose. It needs 120VAC from the pcb to open up the valve.
What if your stabilizer rods already have a rubber fitting around the spring? Tighten it up with wire, or a zip tie? Or cut it out and use the garden hose?
Yes, I'm having that exact trouble now, so I'm gonna try your suggestions. I've not done any maintenance on it before, but I sure have on my Samsung dryer that I bought at the same time. However, the Samsung dryer is sure easy to work on, once you've taken it apart before and learned how everything connects. So, a question is: have you had to do any other maintenance on the Samsung washer of yours? I'd be curious as to what you've done. Thanks again for this video.
You the MVP! Worked like wonders on my WA456DRHDWR/AA. I bought 7/8 2ft rubber hose at Lowes #814334. Fixed in under 15 minutes, under $6 . Easier to use your first method by tilting machine and working under the machine! THANKS A MILLION!
This was a huge help to me. I have the dc code that pops on everytime, and it adds extra water. Q: Is your Samsung supposed too retain water after your cycle is done?
Haha, my washer is constantly knocking itself unconscious! And often knocking itself into last week, going around and round in the spin-rinse circles!! I will give this a shot and let you know how it goes.
Anyone know how to remove the entire drum? I’ve seen videos for other Samsung washers, but not this model. You seem to be the most informative video so far. Found this AFTER I broke that but (didn’t know it was a left handed nut)
@@23sapper th-cam.com/video/VrRNLxbTDLc/w-d-xo.html This one was actually a little better. I think my drum is fused to the that motor. I gotta try a hammer or something to separate the two
How do you get the cover off the bottom drum cover? Meaning, the cover above the large bolt. I have a small cap over the small nut but can't get it off.
Yes, I am curious also. Guy above seemed to say that his dampeners were too far gone, so he replaced them -- after trying the fix. And, the replacement made it like brand new.
Hey @derrickwith2rs I have a top load Samsung washer that reads the code DC on it. My washer will spin then refill, spin then refill, and keep doing that. What can I do to fix that?
Howdo you turn off the out of balance code. Cant wash blankets without it throwing the cide. Takes all day long to run one bedspread bc of this issue. Miss the old days. Machine would just walk all over the place but it got the job done
Samsung WA48J7700A Washer - wrapped a thick vinyl pipe around the rods and tied them down with zip ties. It stiffened the suspension rods so much that instead of looping the rinse spin cycle, the washer vibrates madly to the point where I have to shut it off before it explodes. Not good.
I just replaced all my suspension rods, made sure the washer is level, recalibrated it, and made sure the bolt was tight. Still having the unbalanced load problem???
Different models but the buttons and cycles look the same Samsung WA45H7000AP/A2. The inside is huge and looks great but I don't see the point if the water only fills up only 1/4 of the tub on the Normal cycle. Is this normal? I can see clothes on top just standing there instead of being underneath the water getting washed. Do you know how to get the machine to fill up with water more than the half way point? Also I cant figure out how to calibrate it. Did you ever figure out how to calibrate yours?
Thank you for this fix. My springs already had a small black spacer on them but I added the hose anyways to tighten them up. Now the washer runs full spin cycle and doesn't stop and reset to since again. Thanks!!!
Just want to let everyone know there was a class action lawsuit for this in canada and usa. Mine is having the same problem and found the lawsuit. Some people were injured because during high rotation it came off the support and literally the machine casing popped out.
Damn, are you a genius. Yes, that's the right way to fix it. Also, guy above said that he bought 1 inch plastic pipe and cut it. Because garden hose is too small. So, I plan to buy bigger pipe and see if I can fix it that way. But, I love your suggestion. That so brilliant.
I have a Samsung WA50T5300AC/US I've replaced all 4 shocks and this thing still does it even with no clothes in it. I put memory foam down in between the tub n housing. Mmo luck I'm about fed up I laid a $1000 for this P. O. S. What else can I do
Hi , my washer machine is has same problem, it is semelr to this washer, but the led is on the front of the washer , so it is repeat the spin cycle without stop how can I fix it please????
is this washer supposed to take about 8 minutes to start adding water? Cause mine just spins back n forth dry for 8 min it's so odd whays the points in spinning when there's no water? I feel like it's just wasting
My WA52J8700A has this problem. About a year ago it started throwing uB codes during spin and then would stop completely. I replaced all the suspension rods. Worked for about a year, and now it's doing the spin/rinse/spin/rinse/spin/rinse thing, extending out over up to 2 hours. Timer keeps resetting to more time. No DC codes thrown anymore, which is very puzzling. This sounds like the rod problem all over again, but why no DC codes??? Doesn't make sense. What a POS. The perpetual spin/rinse gig must be controlled by the stupid computer; why doesn't it throw a code if it's so screwed up? This thing is wasting all kinds of water and electricity because if you leave it alone it just goes forever! Oh wait, it has an "ECO PLUS" setting! hahaha
@@randyp3871 haha I took mine completely apart and I found the problem. It actually had a class action lawsuit. So many people have the issue. I laugh cause an hour ago I searched for a new washer and LG came up. Now I look for the parts they use before purchasing. Are you happy with LG?
@@phanomchanthavong1668 No. I've had the LG for 4 months, and it threw an FE error, which means there's a problem with the inlet valve. Repairman came over and couldn't find anything wrong, so nothing was done. Washer has not thrown error code since, so maybe was a glitch of some sort. Warranty is 1 year, so I hope it was just a fluke. With regard to spinning, I have a front load LG which spins like a friggin' jet engine, and hardly vibrates, so that problem is gone. Bottom line IMHO is that washer reliability has gone down the tubes. They used to last 20 years, now days, a couple years.
@@randyp3871 Oh man that sucks. I took the entire washer apart including electrical wires and parts. Before looking for a new washer i look up the parts and they are all the same now. good luck man

Thank you so much for the well put together video. It worked great! one question; somehow I get everything back together, but now the water is no longer working???any idea what i May have done to possibly prevent the water from the machine??!? Gratitude sir
This happend to me ,too. The washing machine is not taking the water...I don't know how to fix it now...
When you laid down the washer the water valves wiring connection to the PCB might have gotten loose. It needs 120VAC from the pcb to open up the valve.
What if your stabilizer rods already have a rubber fitting around the spring? Tighten it up with wire, or a zip tie? Or cut it out and use the garden hose?
Yes, I'm having that exact trouble now, so I'm gonna try your suggestions. I've not done any maintenance on it before, but I sure have on my Samsung dryer that I bought at the same time. However, the Samsung dryer is sure easy to work on, once you've taken it apart before and learned how everything connects. So, a question is: have you had to do any other maintenance on the Samsung washer of yours? I'd be curious as to what you've done. Thanks again for this video.
Finally! Thank you!!
You the MVP! Worked like wonders on my WA456DRHDWR/AA. I bought 7/8 2ft rubber hose at Lowes #814334. Fixed in under 15 minutes, under $6 . Easier to use your first method by tilting machine and working under the machine! THANKS A MILLION!
I got the hose did you put two slices of hose on each spring or did you just split one piece for each?
@@LuisHernandez-vq2ff Did you fix it? did you use one slice for each spring? or two slices for each spring?
Thank you for sharing your knowledge. This totally worked!
Stil working?
This was a huge help to me. I have the dc code that pops on everytime, and it adds extra water. Q: Is your Samsung supposed too retain water after your cycle is done?
How do I loosen that first bolt seems like it won't come off
Haha, my washer is constantly knocking itself unconscious! And often knocking itself into last week, going around and round in the spin-rinse circles!! I will give this a shot and let you know how it goes.
Well, how did it go? Did you fix it? You never came back and updated everyone.
ah yes, apologies. I ended up buying four suspension rods and my son changed out the old ones for the new ones. Works a charm now@@PoeLemic
Thanks for the tips brother i need to do this to mine , i was going to purchase a new one
No problem, glad I could help.
Thank you mine is fixed. Bless you.
I did all the steps and still my washer drum rocks side to side when it spins and the UR or Ub codes pop up.. Any other ideas?
Anyone know how to remove the entire drum? I’ve seen videos for other Samsung washers, but not this model. You seem to be the most informative video so far. Found this AFTER I broke that but (didn’t know it was a left handed nut)
Check out this one. It might help th-cam.com/video/gTXoKMHHpLs/w-d-xo.html
@@23sapper th-cam.com/video/VrRNLxbTDLc/w-d-xo.html
This one was actually a little better. I think my drum is fused to the that motor. I gotta try a hammer or something to separate the two
Awesome fricking fix!!!!!
How do you get the cover off the bottom drum cover? Meaning, the cover above the large bolt. I have a small cap over the small nut but can't get it off.
Thanks for the video. Had me up in the middle of the night fixing this bc i needed my clothes for the am. Going to be a long day tomorrow. Lol 👍
For the ones that tried this around the time this video was posted, how long did the fix work?
Yes, I am curious also. Guy above seemed to say that his dampeners were too far gone, so he replaced them -- after trying the fix. And, the replacement made it like brand new.
Thanks a a lot for this. Did this and fix worked like a champ. Thanks again
Hey @derrickwith2rs I have a top load Samsung washer that reads the code DC on it. My washer will spin then refill, spin then refill, and keep doing that. What can I do to fix that?
Pump may be clogged. Check out this video th-cam.com/video/oOnxbj-unfc/w-d-xo.html
I have a similar problem. I will try it. Thank you.
Howdo you turn off the out of balance code. Cant wash blankets without it throwing the cide. Takes all day long to run one bedspread bc of this issue. Miss the old days. Machine would just walk all over the place but it got the job done
Great video in the middle of it but I can't get the cover of the bolt off is there a trick to do that?
How the hose help to the springs? Springs looks nice to me, but I guess I will buy a new ones because I am scare to put the hose. But thanks
Thanks so much!!! The 1st step worked for me.
Having trouble getting the agitator off, any suggestions?
What size socket did you use to loosen the bolt?
Yes, been very nice if he would have said that and let us know.

Samsung WA48J7700A Washer - wrapped a thick vinyl pipe around the rods and tied them down with zip ties. It stiffened the suspension rods so much that instead of looping the rinse spin cycle, the washer vibrates madly to the point where I have to shut it off before it explodes. Not good.
I just replaced all my suspension rods, made sure the washer is level, recalibrated it, and made sure the bolt was tight. Still having the unbalanced load problem???
Thank you 🙏 you save me money It works Grasias
Hey buddy, did you cut off the hose spacers that were originally on there or did yours not come with any?
Sorry I can’t recall. Too many TBIs. I don’t remember cutting them off.
Been having this problem for months and this video helped me fix it in 15mins! Thanks
This worked also for my Samsung WA400PJHDWR/AA 01
Is the first nut reverse thread also
You are the man!
I cant seem to get the first bolt loose to take off the plastic cover. Any suggestions?
It works!!! Thank you so much easy to do when someone show you the path
Different models but the buttons and cycles look the same Samsung WA45H7000AP/A2. The inside is huge and looks great but I don't see the point if the water only fills up only 1/4 of the tub on the Normal cycle. Is this normal? I can see clothes on top just standing there instead of being underneath the water getting washed. Do you know how to get the machine to fill up with water more than the half way point? Also I cant figure out how to calibrate it. Did you ever figure out how to calibrate yours?
Thank you for this fix. My springs already had a small black spacer on them but I added the hose anyways to tighten them up. Now the washer runs full spin cycle and doesn't stop and reset to since again. Thanks!!!
jfergmon I am little scare to do that.
Just want to let everyone know there was a class action lawsuit for this in canada and usa. Mine is having the same problem and found the lawsuit. Some people were injured because during high rotation it came off the support and literally the machine casing popped out.
I read about that a few years ago, these machines can go crazy!
For the hose he wrapped around the rods, what's the diameter or size he used?
Just your standard garden hose
@@23sapperthank you
Nice tips!
I have a 9E code. What does that mean? Thanks
Water leakage some where
@@23sapper thanks so much for replying . I’ll check but I see no water anywhere.
You da man! This fix worked great. Thanks for the video
And it worked thanks
i believe hose clamps would do a better job than the wire
Damn, are you a genius. Yes, that's the right way to fix it. Also, guy above said that he bought 1 inch plastic pipe and cut it. Because garden hose is too small. So, I plan to buy bigger pipe and see if I can fix it that way. But, I love your suggestion. That so brilliant.
What size bolt is that
What was the fix
Much appreciated
I have a Samsung WA50T5300AC/US
I've replaced all 4 shocks and this thing still does it even with no clothes in it. I put memory foam down in between the tub n housing. Mmo luck I'm about fed up I laid a $1000 for this P. O. S.
What else can I do
Great video! Fixed my issue. Thanks!
My washer is brand new and has done the rinse and spinning twice
For my washer sometimes it sounds like a diesel engine but sounds different
Hi I have the same machine it won’t spin & water won’t go out.. will this video help
Could be a clogged pump, see this video

Thanks mate
Hi , my washer machine is has same problem, it is semelr to this washer, but the led is on the front of the washer , so it is repeat the spin cycle without stop how can I fix it please????
Probably has the similar stabilization issues.
is this washer supposed to take about 8 minutes to start adding water? Cause mine just spins back n forth dry for 8 min it's so odd whays the points in spinning when there's no water? I feel like it's just wasting
My WA52J8700A has this problem. About a year ago it started throwing uB codes during spin and then would stop completely. I replaced all the suspension rods. Worked for about a year, and now it's doing the spin/rinse/spin/rinse/spin/rinse thing, extending out over up to 2 hours. Timer keeps resetting to more time. No DC codes thrown anymore, which is very puzzling. This sounds like the rod problem all over again, but why no DC codes??? Doesn't make sense. What a POS. The perpetual spin/rinse gig must be controlled by the stupid computer; why doesn't it throw a code if it's so screwed up? This thing is wasting all kinds of water and electricity because if you leave it alone it just goes forever! Oh wait, it has an "ECO PLUS" setting! hahaha
did you ever fix this?
@@phanomchanthavong1668 Sure did. I junked it and got an LG
@@randyp3871 haha I took mine completely apart and I found the problem. It actually had a class action lawsuit. So many people have the issue. I laugh cause an hour ago I searched for a new washer and LG came up. Now I look for the parts they use before purchasing. Are you happy with LG?
@@phanomchanthavong1668 No. I've had the LG for 4 months, and it threw an FE error, which means there's a problem with the inlet valve. Repairman came over and couldn't find anything wrong, so nothing was done. Washer has not thrown error code since, so maybe was a glitch of some sort. Warranty is 1 year, so I hope it was just a fluke. With regard to spinning, I have a front load LG which spins like a friggin' jet engine, and hardly vibrates, so that problem is gone. Bottom line IMHO is that washer reliability has gone down the tubes. They used to last 20 years, now days, a couple years.
@@randyp3871 Oh man that sucks. I took the entire washer apart including electrical wires and parts. Before looking for a new washer i look up the parts and they are all the same now. good luck man
