Questions & Answers

For Samsung Washer Suspension Rod (Damper Assembly), Single Rod (Part Number: OEM20653359)

1 Answer

Hello Hal, thank you for contacting APP, There may be an issue with the Spin Basket Assembly DC90-27205B. The Spin Basket itself may be out-of-round, this can be tested by removing the Spin Basket and setting it on its side on solid, level flooring and rolling it to see if there is a wobble. If it does wobble the Spin Basket Assembly will need to be replaced, along with another Suspension Damper Assembly DC97-16350U. The Balance Ring is another potential cause for this issue, which is included with the Spin Basket Assembly, this should feel as though it has weights or water rolling around in it. If the Spin Basket and Balance Ring appear to be good then there may be an issue with the Clutch Assembly DC97-18439B.

Helen, To change the suspension rod you will need to lift the main top of the washer. Once it is raised you will then unhook the rod from the corner and then you will release it from the bottom of the tub. Reinstall in reverse.
