Samsung Washer Suspension Rod Guides

A Samsung top-loader that shakes, walks, or stops on a UE error is usually telling you the suspension rods are worn. Before ordering anything, check rod length: Samsung top-loaders use three different lengths and they are not interchangeable. The replacement guide below covers which models take which rods and how to swap all four. The other guides cover cost and diagnosis. Karoxy rods are aftermarket replacements, not Samsung OEM parts.
