    With everything I've seen on this issue, I wasn't confident with this fix. My local hardware store sold these exact collars at more than $6.00, EACH. I ordered the collars on Amazon, saved a bunch of money. I used blue thread locker liquid as I imagine it will help. Ive run 3 loads through this machine after adding the collars and the machine is nearly silent. I'm sitting here stupified.
    You're brilliant for figuring out a fix, and a dang ol peach for sharing it and documenting it so perfectly. Most importantly, my wife isnt going to be scared of the washer anymore, and I fixed it. 😅😊😅😅😊

    I had to tighten it a little more than 2 quarters but it was a great way to know if they were too loose. Thanks for the video. I just did this and it's spinning like a charm. If i ever have to tighten them i'm going to use blue loctite.

    Yep great video. I just repaired a Simpson eziset. I used a friction/dampner grease on the wire shaft and other bits and it seems to working well so far. ( got this idea from a comments section on a repair video somewhere.) It's the same stuff they use in video game controls. Amazing sticky stuff . It was from NYE lubricants Inc , distributed by VKB- SIM Australia pty ltd. ( yes I'm in OZ ) . It was a synthetic hydrocarbon grease called Nyogel 767A. I have nothing to do with company. and there are probably other suppliers in the U.S. and other places. It came as a small jar in the mail with 5 grams in it. Enough for 4 suspension rods and cost $20-$30 with mail cost. Thanks hope this adds to all the great knowledge.

    So, I fixed my Maytag using a combination of this method and another YT video tutorial. My rods didn’t have the upper tip part for the collar to grip on to, so I:
    -found 4 large safety pins
    -pulled open the upper white lid from casing
    -insert one safety pin through the bottom of the white plastic lid
    -cut safety pin on bottom (leaving the coil part) and bend coil flat
    -reconnect casing to white tip
    -cut electrical tape width in half and wrapped around the safety pin (to create a tip for the collar to lock on to)
    -installed the collar as instructed, with the >2 quarter gap
    -fold safety pin over collar gap
    -cut excess safety pin on top
    -pulled component down and applied grease
    Component was still able to slide and it fixed the issue! Thank you!!

      Update: So my washer started shaking again and I found a metal collar that had come loose. Only one collar came apart. I checked the other ones while I had it opened and the other collars seemed to be fine. They were tight but at a much higher point than where they were installed. It took a bit of force to push back down.
      Today I decided to purchase a whole new set of suspension rods and they have the upper tip that mine didn’t have. I’ll save the collars just in case I may need them in the future.
      Thank you to @appliancerepairshorts for sharing your knowledge and advice 🙏
      I always think, “man, if I didn’t have TH-cam then I would be at the mercy of some commission driven contractor, whose solution would be to buy a new unit.”

    Perfect Repair Part, Perfect Procedure. Repair is working well. I specifically liked the two quarter check. I followed that step, in addition to a pull on that top cap to ensure it wasn't too tight, not too loose. I assumed not every suspension rod is exactly the same and not every top cap has the same amount of wear. I sincerly appreciate the video, and subscribe to your channel.

  • @frankscarfone7957
    @frankscarfone7957 10 หลายเดือนก่อน +3

    This fix is genius. The manufacturer should add this to the washer design. I measured the thickness of 2 quarters as 0.130 inch which is slightly thicker than 1/8” = 0.125”. I then used calipers to check the gap width. Also, to ensure that the collar screws do not vibrate out, I added Threadlocking glue (the blue or orange version) where the screws can still be readjusted. Do not use the red version which is permanent.

    • @appliancerepairshorts
      @appliancerepairshorts  10 หลายเดือนก่อน

    I have 2 Samsung WA5200 machines and I replaced the rods with Chinese rods. They really didn't work and after watching many videos, I found yours. I had to use a 3/8" collar on the rods due to the larger size damper. I also had to replace the stock collar screws with #6x32x3/4 to allow for the girth of the fatter damper. I simply had to remove the back cover of the machines, which gave me access to the 2 rear rods without removing them. You CANNOT pre-install the clamps then rehang the rods because the damper won't fit back into the slotted flange on the tub where it is supposed to go when the clamps are installed. They must be installed with the rods hanging in place. Therein lies the problem. You cannot get access to the 2 front rods to install the clamps, unless you want to completely remove the tub first. So both machines have rather tight clamps on the 2 rear rods and none on the front 2. I have washed several horse blankets (one at a time) in the barn washer as well as other horse stuff about a half dozen times. NO MORE ERROR CODES so far. Thanks for sharing your expertise with us-It helped me solve a potentially costly fix.

    @zackstone6354 ปีที่แล้ว +6

    Awesome! I'm a sucker for the simplicity of this.
    I have posted a different solution (I replace the "cup" with some epoxy; it holds the shape well and over a longer area against the rod). But your way also restricts the flow of grease between the rod and the piece of plastic. That's the magic! If the grease has broken down to yellow or brown, replace it (that will matter). This solution is easier to do than mine, though. I will try it on my next "bouncy house" washer!
    I'd be curious to see what happens if I do 2 rods this way and 2 rods my way in the same washer - which needs another "tweak," first. Seems like a science experiment I need to do on the next one ...

    • @appliancerepairshorts
      @appliancerepairshorts  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Awesome to hear about your idea. You are absolutely correct about the cup. So if you only do two rods, if will not stop the bouncing. If you have a load in. I’m curious on the epoxy because some suspension rods you cannot install the collars on. Some other guy uses rubber .

      The problem is it is difficult to determine the exact load for a washer. Here is a way, starting with a supposedly small load. Once water has been added . Now pause the washer and push down on the basket. Can you feel the suspension moving? If you can’t push it down, you have too much weight. So remove some clothes and check again until you can feel the suspension moving as you push it down. Keep in mind that, the collar can be adjusted to increase tension.

    Very good repair. The issue is the black rubber grommet beneath that white cap is intentionally undersized so that it can't slide easy on the shaft and acts like a shock absorber. Like on a car to keep it from bouncing on its springs. But it wears out. An easier fix is to pull up the white cap exposing the black grommet and wrap a copper or steel wire around it and twist the ends until it is tight on the rod again. There's enough room inside that white cap to trim the twisted wire and bent it over against the grommet so the white cap slides over the twisted wire and it looks like new.

    just now completed this repair with recalibration and running our first load. so i guess we'll see how it goes. just wanted to say that at first i only bought 1 set of collars and 1/2 way through the repair i accidently striped the threads on 1 collar. it was very easy to do with barely any pressure,, "cheap Chinese steel"😖. had to purchase a 2nd set and wait another day to complete the repair. upon restarting low and behold the 1st collar i tried striped as well, thankfully this time i had 3 more as backup. so the moral of the story is purchase more than what you think you need, you can always return them if they're not needed.🤔

      @@appliancerepairshorts yeah,, I knew about evenly tightening the screws even before watching your vid,and I did do it properly with the 1st 2 but may have gotten a little over confident on the third one
      But as I said it was very easy, like almost no pressure at all and the threads just gave way. While on the others I was able to torque quite heavily with no problem. Therefore I put more blame on the inconsistency in quality of "Chinese" products. By the way, we did the first load and while it didn't go into a frenzied shake with that load it still shook pretty hard. Not sure if it was a normal shake or if maybe a different/heavier load would cause it to act up again. I also put a new metal hub in before this repair. That alone didn't work. Hopefully I'll get a good bit more use out of it. But if not we bought it used for $150 at least 5 years ago so if it's dead not a big deal, as I'd say we got our moneys worth.

      Thanks for watching, that seems like a lot of extra work. Not sure how that is actually reducing the bouncing. I think what is happening is, the rod where the damper goes up and down is super smooth. By raising it, you have introduced a rough section. I have done what you mentioned on old GE washer that the apron was sagging. The basket was rubbing on the bottom of the washer floor. I’m curious how that is working out.

      @@appliancerepairshorts Found a different solution. Had some fly screen spline (rubber that holds fly screen in place) after replacing my fly screens. Is cheap to buy as well (got the idea from people that have used bungie straps). Used a half hitch to attach to bottom of each rod (this gives two pieces of cord, made them the same length) pulled nice and tight so won't slip off, put a collar above this to stop weight of drum filled with water pushing it off. May have been easier to secure to bottom of drum where rod goes or make some brackets out of metal or wood with holes on edges to easily tie to. Then wrapped eight times around rod, was able to secure at top by going up and around each rod and tying off with a further number of double half hitch knots (did four). Looped around again with a further four half hitches, until no cord is left over. So far, this solution has done around fifteen loads of washing without issue.

    Glad to see this. I had wondered about using some kind of clamp on some of these rods, especially the GE rods that have the spring completely covered.
    Do the GE rods have some sort of dampening grease in them when new?
    I have one that shows no sign of ever having foam on the rods. Not sure I have ever noticed this before on the machines I have worked on.
    I did come across a GE rod that I had split the plastic like piece that covers the spring. Evidently, it was back when I was about to investigate ways of fixing used rods.
    Btw, the GE rods (front) on one machine I have are blue and have a longer nipple where you put the clamps. Would it be advisable to double up on the clamps if there is enough room?

    • @appliancerepairshorts

      On the older style GE they use a vacuum type of damper. Pretty much if you wear it down, it could sag. I have a video somewhere that I used the collar to raise the drum. The blue, white yellow or whatever color the sleeve is. It plays as a dampener. Thanks for watching. I have a video coming out on Samsung suspension and some whirlpool that the collar doesn’t fit.

  • @mrlude490
    @mrlude490 2 หลายเดือนก่อน +2

    The REAL solution is buy Nyogel 767A damping grease, apply on shaft where the collar slides up and down and it will significantly reduce the motion of the shocks. The option on this video can work but the plastic will wear out due to friction on the parts. Never use regular grease on the rods because that will make the shocks slide up and down even more easily. you need friction grease so the parts still move as they should but resistance of range is reduced! If you buy replacement shocks notice there is sticky stuff on the shaft where the motion will occur. Good luck out there.

    • @appliancerepairshorts
      @appliancerepairshorts  2 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Come on now, that stuff works okay. The issue with it is, if you just apply the grease, it moves around and you lose most of the resistance. Samsung uses it in accordance with the pads that are actually making contact. That grease is messy. The collar is a solid repair. Been using them for a few years before sharing it. When you notice the washer starts to shake about 3-4 years. All you need to do is snug up the collar on the washer. Grease it good, but you can’t fine tune it. Definitely not a real solution. Appreciate you sharing your thoughts
