Samsung Washer Won't Spin Out Clothes, Banging Noise DC Error Code Fix

[@jeremythomson7185]

Replacing the springs was very quick and easy, I had issues putting the cover back in place. But now it works like its brand new. Thanks a lot, finally no more stupid DC error.

[@jimcasso407]

YES!!! This was the exact problem with my Samsung washer. I was able to order parts off Amazon for $38 and swapped them out in about 20 mins. Machine spins just fine now. Thank you so much for making this video! Super clear instructions, great video shots, super helpful. You just saved me big time. Thank you sir!!!

Anyone remember when a washer dryer was a every 20 year purchase instead of an every 5?

[@tstricklin4808]

My wife still using our set we purchased 22 years ago ,however we did just purchase a used set of same thing he just showcased, except it is whirlpool, dryer works great but washer kicks off in final spin when it attempts to hit top rpm ,I replaced the rods,checked tub ,I guess it's the main board and it's been discontinued, so she still using old washer, old dryer is now a shop heater 😀

[@Android_Warrior]

I still got those and I am not throwing them away!

[@timwhite8500]

Depends what you mean by 20 years. How many service calls are allowed during that time? I do agree though, that this is a cheap and nasty appliance.

[@CompetentSalesUSA]

The speed queens seems to last much longer

[@happykt]

I've had my LG set for over 10 years. I read all the reviews one dozens of models and manufactures and Samsung consistently got low ratings. I had a Samsung dishwasher that lasted 6 years and replaced it with a Maytag. It washes so much better. I don't trust ANY Samsung appliance.

[@AlGoYoSu]

9:13 that is what mine looked like on my front loading Samsung. Replaced the broken disgusting bracket, bolts, bearings/seal, and gave the inner/outer tub a much needed good cleaning. Fortunately there are plenty of resources to guide this repair. On this top loader the most difficult part looks like removing the cover after the bolt is out to access it.

Here's my fix for any samsung washer. Scrap it.

[@bensappliancesandjunk]

Hey everyone, if you found that the springs are the problem, we developed a damping grease to solve the problem without buying new rods. We'll be releasing a new video on it, but here's the stuff: bens-appliances.com/products/bounce-b-gone-washing-machine-suspension-grease-ba-80048

[@keithcossu1403]

Thank you for the advise and guidance @bensappliancesandjunk. I replaced all 4 suspension rods, about 10 months ago, but the bouncing and slamming is back. I've confirmed the washer is balanced and will check under the agitator for any hidden damage as you noted at the tail-end of this video but the unit is only 4 years old (WA41A3000AW). We're a family of 4, avg. 6-8 loads per week, but never load past the 1/2 way to 3/4 way point on the drum depending on the what it is (i.e., towels we will never fill the drum more than half way). My hack, let the bouncing/slamming happen twice, once after the initial wash cycle and then after the rinse cycle, then power-off the unit before the spin cycle starts and/or the HOT/WARM Flashing error code is flashed. I then reposition all the laundry, choose the rinse + spin cycle on the dial, hold down the water level button to enable the "spin only" mode and pray! If at any point I hear some knocking or the water kick on, I stop and reposition the load and try "spin only" mode again. Yes monster PITA!!! I'm considering replacing the suspension rods again, maybe going for the OEM parts vs. Amazon knock-offs and will pick-up a can of the bounce-be-gone to better my odds, but can you help me determine if there is a calibration step I'm missing? In all my research, for the WA41A3000AW model, there isn't a way to perform said task. Thank you in advance for your help and time!!!

[@bensappliancesandjunk]

@@keithcossu1403 the amazon rods are your issue. They have insufficient damping agents to keep the unit from bouncing. We have the damping grease by itself as a product we now sell to fix this: bens-appliances.com/products/bounce-b-gone-washing-machine-suspension-grease-ba-80048?_pos=1&_sid=a74db2c56&_ss=r

[@keithcossu1403]

@@bensappliancesandjunk Thank you! I sent a note to the team asking for guidance on which rods from the site I should purchase that best support my Samsung washer (WA41A3000AW). In the parts manual for my unit, Samsung references two rod models DC97-16350S & DC97-16350T, which I believe have been replaced w/ DC97-16350C, which I believe is also compatible with w/ DC97-16350U. Which replacement rods would you recommend? My game plan...start fresh! Replace the rods with the ones you sell + purchase the grease for added insurance to hopefully resolve this issue for several years. Thank you again for the support!

seems easy enough....glad I got my Maytag commercial a few yrs ago...was not a big fan of the impeller instead of the agitator and got rid of my 2yr old Kenmore for the Maytag...much better results in the washing of clothes...more thorough

[@dylanowens3173]

I flip appliances for side hustle. If you are stuck with a Samsung and can't afford something else. clean them once a year by pulling the top off, get all the hair , soap junk , and pull up agitation plate to clean . There's so much crap gets trapped that can rot the metal. spray water proof rust converter to keep the metal from falling apart. And get anti vibration pad so the washer doesn't destroy it's self on a less forgiving hard floor when spinning. And do not fill the washer up with heavy full loads , do half loads so to put less strain On the motor, agitator and suspension. If you baby a Samsung it can last till you can afford something else.

[@portable_wall9222]

That's one of the older Samsung washers that had the recall on it for it coming apart during the spinning. You can see the new hooks for the lid have been installed on it. On almost all those machines I've installed the recall kit on the dampers were all shot. Luckily they give a 1yr recall warranty after installing it.

[@bensappliancesandjunk]

I knew the hooks were from the recall, but Im surprised the shocks were bad on this one if they were swapped when the recall repair was done, but it was super nasty underneath anyway

[@portable_wall9222]

@@bensappliancesandjunk Yeah they are like trampolines lol. I bet it sounded like a war zone in the laundry room for whoever had it before.

[@angelawacker1535]

Mine was part of the recall too. Some time later my rods needed replaced. My husband was having trouble figuring out how to get the lid off. My recollection was that the lid had been bolted on for the recall. Sure enough. They acted like we were never going to need to take the lid off to fix anything.

I replaced the heating element, dryer high-limit thermostat, dryer thermal cut-off, dryer thermostat, dryer thermal fuse. I checked the relay, I cleaned out the dryer vent by removing the cover and vacuuming up on my whirlpool dryer. It was finally working again heating up!!! I put the metal cover back on and pushed the dryer back to the wall and it stopped heating up now when I tried it again? Do you have any ideas sir what could be the problem? Can’t afford a new dryer. It also seems like it’s missing? Like it will stumble then it goes away? Everything else is working great just no heat.

[@mackfisher4487]

Have you reviewed the Alliance (Speed Queen) top loading commercial washer model: SWNSX2SP115TW02 is there a way to raise the amount of hot water that's being mixed by the mixing valve?

[@boerde6202]

I have one of them, about 12 years now. (This is without watching the video). The early ones have crap shock dampers.. I know there is a fix for it when it happens to mine. But I am a single man, it hasn't seen heavy usage in its life. But I had to replace the drum cross earlyer this year.

[@boerde6202]

Hmm, that is a problem with toploaders as well? I have the WF0704Y7E, the have seperate springs and dampers. It is a pretty easy and cheap repair.. But Samsung dind't do enough R&D before the got in the market I guess?

I know you made this video a year ago but I have a question. I have a Samsung washer MN WA48J7700AW/A2. This washer was given to me about a year ago. In the bedding cycle the washer makes weird screeching noises and now on the heavy duty cycle it refuses to spin the clothes out. We can put the washer on the spin only cycle and the clothes will then spin out fine, just not on heavy duty. Could this be these rods causing this?

Is there a procedure to calibrate the washer after changing the rods? Every video I see has a button Delay Start in the procedure but these types of Samsung washers don’t have that.

[@leeday2183]

To run Calibration Mode, follow these steps: 1. Remove laundry or any contents in the machine. 2. On the WA456, press the Delay Start and Eco Plus buttons simultaneously, and then press the Power button. On the WA422 or WA400, press the Delay Start and Pre Soak buttons simultaneously, and then press the Power button. The machine turns on. (Machine has to be off first before you press the buttons.) 3. Press the Start/Pause button to activate “Calibration Mode”. 4. The pulsator rotates clockwise and counterclockwise for approximately 1 minute. 5. When “Calibration Mode” is finished, “End” (WA456*) / “En” (WA422*, WA400*) appears on the display, and the machine automatically turns off. The washing machine is now ready for use.

[@leeday2183]

Whoops I just read that your washer doesn't have a delay start. What is the exact model number of your washer and I can try and find out.

[@cobrakell]

I sent them back , they were junk ,Amazon tried to sent me the white recall rods , the picture on Amazon sale was pink top rods . Yeah they are junk , the tub was hanging over an inch lower than the worn out rods. ,to anyone who has replaced the rods and the unbalancing is worse the tops are white in color and thinner a rod . Send them back , get the pink oem ones. Also I recommend buying some thick foam , and tape them behind each new rod to the rod use duct tape on rods to make the tub more stable ,also use some clear packing tape to seal the top cover on to the body , if it's a clip on . Or it could fly off , during unbalanced spin. And could cut the wires and start a fire .
