GUYS! UPDATE! Amazon shocks can no longer be trusted, you have to buy high quality OEM shocks from a real parts supplier like sears or appliance parts pros. Amazon shocks are now junk out of the box. DO NOT DRILL HOLES IN THE TOP BALANCE RING! That's not trapped water, the water IS the balancing median in the ring. The real, safe solution is to fix the actual problem, the bad shocks. Thanks guys!

I have bought and returned every set sold by just about every seller and they are all bad out of the box (Samsung shocks). After about 10 times I gave up. Same with eBay. Aside from trial and error I don't know what the issue with the supply of non OEM parts is, probably just like everything else being made right now.....Cheap.

Thanks for posting this video. For about $40 and 20 minutes of work, my washer is now working perfectly . Thanks!

Thank you for this video. Gonna save me tons of money just soing it myself. KZread videos like this are what we want as a community, thank you.

Our Samsung washer was delivered & installed just two days ago!!!! It has a loose, springy inner tub as described in this video!!!! The machine would not go onto either the rinse cycle or the spin cycle. It would just STOP!!!!!!! This is a spanking brand new machine!!! WTF?????? I feel empowered knowing what’s actually wrong with it!!! Keep up the good work, Josh!!!! Thank you!!!! ❤💘💘❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

Thanks. This fixed my Samsung washer. Was pretty easy. I did pull 2 of the springs out first...should do 1 at a time for easiest results.

Great video. Very helpful. Thank you

Thank you for this video and information.

Between the bottom plastic washers, there is literally a black foam piece that is worth nothing that I added paper towel pieces to keep it from easily sliding up and down the rod. This helped out tremendously and washer stopped going unbalanced. Super simple and easy fix!

Wow these washers turned out to be defective i heard 2020 and 2021 builds were recalled

Thank you so much for the video, I believe this is what is wrong w/ mine. I have sent this video to my husband.

Specifically for the Samsung wa50t5300ac - I tilted the two front legs (pretty high up and made sure they were even, and that prevented the washer from banging side to side (on the clockwise spin cycle). Even when I changed the rods, it was banging. The model I am referring to has a slant so it’s not like you can push a level on the top of it due to its slanted surface area.

Thanks for the vid!! Strolling thru the comments I can see many solutions I need to try. Our washer is constantly off balance and I’d say we spend more time adjusting the load than washing laundry. Super frustrating!!

If your Samsung has that upper balancing ring that is filled with water, do the 8 hole drilling procedure (very easy and no cost) to drain that water. My Samsung used to slam and shut off with failure codes. Now it's operates normally. There's a video on it, but read the comments. Something like 250 to 0 that it works.

@MollyDarby7

I was having the same problem I watched the how to video, drilled mine today and now it stays level, clothes are no longer soaking wet after spinning & the awful banging noise has stopped. If you shake/rock the drum you will hear the water inside. This fix releases the water that gets trapped.

Thank you so much for your video. It was greatly appreciated.😅

Thank you I think this will help me a lot❤

Thanks so much for this video. This saved us so much money. Easy and inexpensive fix!

That's the problem I'm running into is the part number. The rods I have is about 27.5" long. I can't find anything out there

So testing my drum by hand it has strong resistance up and down but side to side it feels like zero - rods still?

Thank you! I will fix mine asap

I have a Samsung active wash that randomly slings suds out. Would this be the problem?

I wonder how it would go shortening the rods that would add more stiffness to the stings.

Awesome video.

We did this (replaced the shocks) fix but now the washer won't come on at all. Zero power to the control panel. Checked the plug and the breaker - those are not the issue. I read something about a fuse - where would I find that on Samsung top load WA54R7200AW/US?

Not aware of any fuses that would keep it from having power. Did you check all the connections to the board? Sometimes when you take the top off it can pull out the connected wires on the board….or if you’re not really careful you can slice through the wires moving the top around. Might check those wires.

What if these were replaced about 2 weeks ago but the washer is still constantly going off balance? Tried smaller loads, different settings, changed amount of soap, tried only cold water, nothing matters. Every size, temp, cycle, amount of soap or softener, it still goes off balance every load.
