I had watched another video and ordered my rods. I started the process, but when I got to the back rods, I was really struggling. Took a break and saw your video with the 3 boards. OMG ! I'm a 69 year old female and weigh 110. Without your little trick, I know I couldn't have gotten it done. Thank you so much !
Who hooooo!!!!! 🎉🎉🎉 ordered the suspension rods on Amazon for $48 and we’re back in business. Thanks 1 million you saved us $300 in plumbing fees at least!!!!!
This video was exactly what I needed. Ordered the parts and with the help of this video, I had our Kenmore washer fixed in about 45 minutes. Thank you so much.
You saved me so much money friend. Thank you! Helpful tip: use the old suspension rod you pulled out, and snake it through the hole to grab the hook of the new suspension rod to make it easier to pull up. Once you reach the top add the clip, hold the new rod to keep it still and pull out the old rod. Made this replacement so easy.
Thank you, I bought the OEM parts locally here in Orlando for my Maytag, purchased the set for $96.00. Followed the video guidance, reset the computer, and bingo, it works!! I think the reset was a big help too, it seems to cycle better now. Only downside is my girlfriend and I have to find a new to place to rendezvous now that the machine doesn't rock and roll so much. 🙂
Oh boy. Well after having this happen a few times, I kept blaming my wife for misloading or overloading the machine. Today SHE looked up your video and texted the link to me. Oops, apology time!! Ordered the new parts . Thanks this was a big help!
Watched so many similar videos but none of them advised resetting the computer at the end which helped me fully resolved the issue Thank you. (Only changing the suspension still had the drum banging around probably because it had operated with the bad suspension for so long)
Glad to help. If it’s still banging around after new suspension, it probably is the outer drum has separated from the inner drum. There’s a new part that can fix that but it’s a more difficult fix.
The Best video I’ve seen !!! Simple , to the point and unlike other videos it showed the washer in motion being problematic . Great job. Hope I get through with mines today.
Glad you like the video. I tried to make it as simple and to the point as possible. I was worried that people would think it was too fast pace. I just think there’s too many how to videos that drag on for 20 minutes or more, and I would like to put out a series of easily digestible shorter videos with all the crucial information.
@@WasherDryerMoney. I don’t usually leave comments but I had to 😂. I was impressed. Also , you are correct , to much installation of the rods video and not vids of the actual machine banging up with the noise. The idea to support the tub was excellent!!! Makes things way much easier. Thanks so much , all the way from the Caribbean 🇹🇹🇹🇹. Keep up the great job 👏
@@WasherDryerMoney Just an update I changed mines today and it worked yayyyyyyyy!!! Thanks again. 🙏🏼🙏🏼. Quick question though. Does suspension rods have an average time to last ? I ask cause my washer is only a little over 2 years old with average use so I was a bit confused it went bad so early.
Can you add a link to the video of the Hub replacement? Please. I'd like to get a better sense if my machine has a hub issue or a damper issue. Please & Thanks! Great Stuff!
I have that cheap machine, this Nov will be 10 years running. My daughtet over loaded it even though I told her dont do that. Please tell me why my lids for years and years will always rust. Loved tour video💪🏿
worked on mine today but too hard to lift drum, started thinking of alternative ways and thought about block under the tub, found your vid for verification, thanks, hope it goes well tomorrow.
So today I replaced my inlet valve and once everything was hooked up, I did the calibration test and it sounded like my washing machine was getting beaten like a drum. Once it was done, i opened up the lid and saw that the drum was off center. One of the rods fell off because the plastic circle piece that holds it up top snapped in half. It was the back left rod. Will this be a pain in the ass to replace? You make it look easy, but I’ve never done it before lol
Hi, I watched your video and fixed my washer and saved myself a lot of money. Thank you so much! I’m running the reset cycle right now. Hope this works like a new one now :) thanks again!!
Put new rods in, bought medium priced ones, did not help one bit. Bought the special grease and applied it to the old rods and swapped them. That worked for several months. Bought some high density foam and stuffed a 12 x 6 x 6 inch piece in two opposite corners near the bottom of the drum. That absorbs some of the motion until enough water gets spun out. Working so far.
i always thought the knocking was due to to much clothes or someone put them all on 1 side. ive been living with this noise for 5 years...... tomorrow ill fix it!
Thanks for the video. We first replaced the splutch and after that fix the washer started banging. Replaced the suspension rods and still have the banging. Is there another fix we could try before getting a new washer?
Some dampening grease might help or oem rods. Might need to check the tub hub too. I think he has a video showing hub replacement. He mentions it in this video when he was talking about play between the two tubs.
I have a Kenmore that is about 20 yrs old . Top loader of course. Basket moves like crazy on stuff like jeans, even tho, I onlyput 2 pair along with t shirts and I have even pulled them out during the first spin and reloaded what I thought was evenly to help. it's just not round and round, but side to side in ALL directions. Suspension Rods on this too possibly? As you know there are no lights, just good old turn knobs. I don't want one of those crappy new ones that won't let me open it w/out it stopping and staring over again. In fact, mine will run full cycle w/the lid open. Thanks
I have a Bravo model of Maytag and it would spin out of balance. I just changed the suspension rods and that solved the problem for about 5 washes. Now it's out of balance again. I did the re-calibration and the Spin light stayed on and is blinking. Any advice?
Not yet. I’m in the middle of moving and plan on making it as soon as I’m settled in. There’s a couple videos out there about it. Check out Ben’s Appliances and junk video about it.
It was the dampening rods. Now it purrs like a kitten. Watched a bunch of videos, but yours was the one I used when it was time to operate. The 2x4's trick to support the drum was priceless. Made the job 10x easier. Great job, bro.
God love you bud. I've gotta go down to visit my cousin in south Georgia in a few weeks, and his washer is doing this stuff, and the best part is? IT'S EVEN THE SAME MODEL as the one in your video. He's too afraid to tackle this himself, so he's waiting for my arrival. Anybody know, how old this model is? He bought it used, a little over a year ago.
@@WasherDryerMoney Thanks for that info. The last 2 digits are 08 on the serial number, so I'm guessing, 2008? Could it really be that old ? I have no idea how bad this is yet, but should we replace the Ring-Tub WPW10215107 too ??
We are having this same issue. We replaced the suspension rods and it’s still shaking and banging all over the place. The hub you mentioned have you made a video for that?
I’ve replaced all 4 rods and even changed the hub, but the tub sways side to side and I just can’t figure out what’s wrong. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Whirlpool machine.
I stuffed two foam rubber chunks in opposite corners near the bottom where the rods connect. Not too tight, the tub still has to wobble some, too tight is worse, I found that out.
I would like to send your video to the leasing office, so they can fix it for me I asked them before and told me they will get me a new one but nothing happened and I still have the same problem I hope it to be fixed as soon as possible
The inside compared to the outside drum. They usually connected and they are one solid piece. If it feels wobbly the connector that holds it onto the outer drum has failed. There’s actually a new repair. I haven’t done a video on yet.
I've replaced all 4 suspension rods and ball joint as well as installed the aluminum hub. No joy. Still just like riding a bull! Any ideas? No squeaks so bearings aren't bad. Also added bungee cords to help hold it still but it didn't help either.
Have you checked to make sure the inside drum versus the outside drum are no longer moving after you put the new part in. You can grab the inside drum and shake it a little and see if it wiggles independently of the outside drum.
I think it’s called TC5 just not the one with digital display or buttons. They also call this type of machine speed, queen classic clean. There’s probably nothing wrong with the new one. It’s just not been out long enough for me to say it’s as good as the original.
@@WasherDryerMoney Thank you, I'm grateful for your kind attention. Now that you say it, I remember it was Speed Queen Classic that I was looking for, but I couldn't find the video or spot where you mentioned it. Again, thanks, and thank you for such great schooling and guidance.
If the suspension rods are bad, will it prevent the washer from working? It's been banging around like crazy for a little bit and now I guess it isn't working, that's what I've been told by the other people that live here.
I replaced them all--very easy! Didn't help, till shook like an earthquake. My final fix was to wheel it out of my house and sell it for 50 bucks, then I bought a different style direct drive washer for a hundred bucks. Problem solved!
If still shakes after new rods, the tub bearing is bad and need upgrade to a metal one. The metal tub bearing cost $30-40, and the tool to install $15-20
Sorry to disturb you, I am Amy from the Amazon store. I know your goal is to have repair videos for every type of washer and dryer. I would like to invite you to shoot an installation video for the DC97-16350U Samsung Washer Suspension Rod Kit. Do you have a compatible Samsung washing machine? Looking forward to your reply！
Yeah, at least there’s a way to fix it now. Ben’s appliances and junk channel has a video on that repair. I’ll be making one soon but I don’t have one yet.
Mentioned it in this video that there is a less, common issue of the inner drum and outer drum becoming disconnected from each other. There’s a new repair to replace the broken piece that holds them together under the agitator. I don’t have a video on that repair yet. But there are several videos on it.
To confirm? The banging doesn’t have anything to do with the small springs that loop around the rod and hook onto the top of the drum? I have replaced these & it’s still banging. So my new suspension rods will be delivered tomorrow. I just want to be sure I don’t need to buy more of the smaller springs again too
See if this video is your problem. If it is, you’ll probably need to replace the suspension rods and add this part. th-cam.com/video/fUqgsPjxFIA/w-d-xo.html
try shacking the drums until its banging....see the slot that connect the rod with the drum ....maybe its loose...btw some use some sort of sticky grease that absorb the impact and hold the drum with the road better
@Washer Dryer Money hey can help? how strong is the plate that mount the engine and gearbox underneath? I use a rope to stop the banging at the top part....mine not hitting the side of the machine.....but its hitting the top part...
The suspension rods never wear out, it is the dampers on the suspension rods that wear out. I replaced my dampers with rubber fuel line the ID and OD worked out perfectly. Also you can test your suspension rod dampers by pushing down on the tub and then releasing quickly to see if it bounces more than once, if it does your dampers are starting to wear out or have already worn out. And continued use with bad dampers will cause your hub to also go bad.
7000 views should get this man as many thumbs up. C'MON FOLKS. SHAME ON US.
Thanks.
Thanks.
It took 5 years for the rods to weaken enough that I had to replace them. $40 later problem solved. I used your videos for help. Thanks for the help.

The suspension rods never wear out, it is the dampers on the suspension rods that wear out. I replaced my dampers with rubber fuel line the ID and OD worked out perfectly. Also you can test your suspension rod dampers by pushing down on the tub and then releasing quickly to see if it bounces more than once, if it does your dampers are starting to wear out or have already worn out. And continued use with bad dampers will cause your hub to also go bad.
That’s me. A lot of people have been using three force inch yoga mat or shop floor mat cut to size. Also the dampening grays.
TIL it might be the hub, I have some empty tub wobble. currently rocking the safety pin fix.
