Vypart DC97-16350U/DC97-16350T Washer Suspension Rods, 4-Piece Stainless Steel

When a top-load washer needs steadier tub support, replacing its suspension rods offers a focused repair approach. This Vypart kit includes four rods designed for compatible Samsung washers.

The rods use solid stainless steel with a thickened design, plus a spring assembly and black rubber dampers. Together, these parts support the washer tub and help absorb vibration during operation.

Is your washer shaking or making a banging sound during a spin cycle? A compatible suspension rod replacement can address those balance-related symptoms as part of a targeted repair.

The four-piece set is intended to provide suspension support for the washer tub. Its spring-and-damper construction is designed to absorb vibration, helping reduce shaking and noise associated with an unbalanced tub. This makes the kit relevant when a washer repeatedly moves or bangs during spin cycles, or has difficulty completing a light-load cycle because of balance issues. It is a focused parts replacement rather than a general washer accessory, so matching the washer model is an important part of choosing the right kit.

Everyday compatibility

The listed compatible models include Samsung WA50R5200AW/US, WA50R5400AV/US, WA50R5400AW/US, WA45T3200AW/A4, WA45H7000AW/A2, WA45N3050AW/A4, WA45T3400AW, WA45T3400AV/A4, WA45M7050AW/A4, WA50T5300AC/US, WA5451ANW/XAA, and WA54R7200AW/US. The compatibility information also names several Samsung top-load washer series, including WA400, WA40J, WA456, WA50R, WA45H, WA45M, WA45T, WA45N, WA54R, and WA545. Match the complete model number on your washer with the listed model before ordering, series names alone may cover multiple variants.

The kit is described as a replacement for several suspension-rod references, including DC97-05280W, DC97-16350E/U/C/D/K/J, DC97-05280H/K/V/X, DC97-16350S, and DC97-18610B. These references can help identify the right replacement when comparing the existing part or a repair listing. Choose by washer compatibility and part reference rather than relying only on a similar-looking rod.

Usage tips

This set is suited to a repair focused on tub suspension when shaking, banging, or balance-related interruptions point to the rods as the part to replace. For a practical home repair, identify the washer model first, then use the replacement references to cross-check the fit. The manufacturer advises disconnecting both power and water before installation. Follow the product’s installation guidance for the washer model and the replacement process.

Buyers commonly describe straightforward installation and improved washer balance or reduced noise after fitting the rods. Feedback on durability is mixed, however, so individual experiences vary. These reports can help set expectations for a DIY repair, while the listed materials and compatibility remain the useful details for selecting the part.

Buying verdict

For owners of a listed Samsung top-load washer, this four-rod kit offers a direct way to replace suspension components as a set. The stainless-steel rods, spring assembly, and rubber dampers are purpose-built for supporting the tub and managing vibration. If your repair calls for DC97-16350U or DC97-16350T rods, this kit brings the matching replacement references and four-part format together for a targeted washer repair.
