Ryan for Model Number WA5471ABW/XAA-01 I have the same question regarding length of the rods. I purchased DC97-16350D from somewhere else and the rods that arrived were 25.5 inches with pink caps. My original suspension rods are 26 inches, with yellow caps. All the information online is still pointing to DC97-D16350D, for WA5471ABW/XAA-01 but I don't think they will fit. There is information that these even replace DC97-05280H (which I think are the originals with the yellow cap). Can you please provide the length of these suspension rods? They need to be 26 inches. 25.5 will not work because that will raise the drum up 1/2 inch closer to the top and make it easier for the drum to hit the top and shut the machine down.
Answer Ryan, THanks for the question!!! The rods pictured show 26" on the grid. More importantly, they are the correct part number for your model based on the manufacturer's parts diagram. Read More... Answered by AppliancePartsPros.com | Friday, August 5, 2022
