Filtbaird DC97-16350U/DC97-16350T Washer Suspension Rod Kit, 4-Piece

Four suspension rods are supplied as a set, giving you the parts for a washer repair rather than a single-rod replacement. They are designed to help stabilize the tub during spin and reduce shaking associated with suspension problems. Is your washer showing an unbalanced-load or UE code? The rods are listed for select Samsung top-load models, so matching the washer model and original rod length matters before ordering.

Tips for day-to-day use

This kit is intended for replacing suspension rods, which act as shock absorbers as the washer tub moves through a cycle. The product information associates worn or faulty rods with shaking, noise, and codes including DC, UR, UE, UB, and UL. Replacing the rods may address those symptoms when suspension is the cause, but the listing does not establish that every error code or vibration problem comes from the rods.

The set contains four rods. Before choosing it, compare your washer’s complete model number with the listed compatibility information and check the length of an original rod, the advertised length is 26.18 inches. The listing highlights Samsung WA50R5200AW/US and WA50R5400AV/US, along with a wider selection of Samsung top-load series and models. Because several reference numbers appear in the product details, confirm that the replacement reference and dimensions match the part you are removing.

Installation is presented as a repair task, and the product instructions say to disconnect power and turn off the water before starting. Buyers describe installation as easy and report smoother operation or less shaking after fitting the rods. Those are customer impressions, not a guarantee that the kit will resolve a particular washer’s symptoms.

Why it makes sense

A four-piece kit suits a repair where the washer needs a set of suspension rods, rather than a purchase of one replacement rod. Its stated purpose is to help control tub movement during the spin cycle, making it relevant when shaking or balance issues point to the suspension system. Compared with replacing the entire washer, a parts-based repair is a more targeted approach when the rods are the component that needs attention, the product details do not establish that other washer faults will be fixed by this kit.

Buyer feedback is generally positive about fit, installation, and reduced movement during spin. Some customers also describe their washers as running more smoothly after installation. These reports can help set expectations, but compatibility and the condition of the washer still matter. A solid pick if your model and original rod dimensions match the listing and you are addressing a suspension-related issue.

When it makes sense

Consider this set for a compatible Samsung top-load washer when the symptoms are consistent with unstable tub movement and you want four replacement rods together. It is also a practical route for a repairer who has identified the suspension rods as the part to replace, rather than pursuing a broader appliance replacement. Better avoided if the washer model or rod length does not match the listed details, or if the source of the problem has not been narrowed to the suspension system. The product information does not specify compatibility with every Samsung washer, so the listed examples should not be treated as universal fitment.
