It took 5 years for the rods to weaken enough that I had to replace them. $40 later problem solved. I used your videos for help. Thanks for the help.

[@Kains_whored]

What was your model number and what part number did you get to fix your issue

[@xanderslawyer8864]

I had watched another video and ordered my rods. I started the process, but when I got to the back rods, I was really struggling. Took a break and saw your video with the 3 boards. OMG ! I'm a 69 year old female and weigh 110. Without your little trick, I know I couldn't have gotten it done. Thank you so much !

[@StrayCatHomestead]

Boards under the pulley is genius. You changed the world.

[@WasherDryerMoney]

lol thanks.

[@Justcanadianjanjan]

Who hooooo!!!!! 🎉🎉🎉 ordered the suspension rods on Amazon for $48 and we’re back in business. Thanks 1 million you saved us $300 in plumbing fees at least!!!!!

[@LeFraudHasChokedInSIXFinals]

This is the best vid for this repair. The 2x4 trick made an impossible task easy.

[@DougSchuch]

This video was exactly what I needed. Ordered the parts and with the help of this video, I had our Kenmore washer fixed in about 45 minutes. Thank you so much.

[@WasherDryerMoney]

Glad to help.

[@bodnar28]

Amazing video. I am a 66 year old woman and I was able to fix my washer alone. Other videos I saw did not help nearly as much as this one. Thank you so much!!! P.S. It would be easier with 2 people but I couldn't wait to try it.

[@justinflorek3382]

I'm just a homeowner that needed to do this, and thank you for the video. I did this, and was still having a little trouble. What I did that made it super easy, was to feed a shoelace through the hook hole onto the hook, and pull it through. Got all the leverage I needed. Thanks.

[@bobadkins7377]

Oh boy. Well after having this happen a few times, I kept blaming my wife for misloading or overloading the machine. Today SHE looked up your video and texted the link to me. Oops, apology time!! Ordered the new parts . Thanks this was a big help!

Glad to help

[@NutzBdragon]

im in the same boat brother. only ive been living with it for 5 years LOL

[@googleuser2795]

Yeah… my husband too! He kept telling me that I was overloading our 3 year old samsung washer! We bought the largest machine available for those purposes but it turned out to be a bad brand.

[@Nolink29]

The Best video I’ve seen !!! Simple , to the point and unlike other videos it showed the washer in motion being problematic . Great job. Hope I get through with mines today.

[@WasherDryerMoney]

Glad you like the video. I tried to make it as simple and to the point as possible. I was worried that people would think it was too fast pace. I just think there’s too many how to videos that drag on for 20 minutes or more, and I would like to put out a series of easily digestible shorter videos with all the crucial information.

[@Nolink29]

@@WasherDryerMoney. I don’t usually leave comments but I had to 😂. I was impressed. Also , you are correct , to much installation of the rods video and not vids of the actual machine banging up with the noise. The idea to support the tub was excellent!!! Makes things way much easier. Thanks so much , all the way from the Caribbean 🇹🇹🇹🇹. Keep up the great job 👏

[@Nolink29]

@@WasherDryerMoney Just an update I changed mines today and it worked yayyyyyyyy!!! Thanks again. 🙏🏼🙏🏼. Quick question though. Does suspension rods have an average time to last ? I ask cause my washer is only a little over 2 years old with average use so I was a bit confused it went bad so early.

[@AntonioRodrigues-mv9ok]

Same here, mine 24 months old is shaking as an earthquake. (Whirlpool )

[@secbj1]

Thank you, I bought the OEM parts locally here in Orlando for my Maytag, purchased the set for $96.00. Followed the video guidance, reset the computer, and bingo, it works!! I think the reset was a big help too, it seems to cycle better now. Only downside is my girlfriend and I have to find a new to place to rendezvous now that the machine doesn't rock and roll so much. 🙂

[@WasherDryerMoney]

🫢

[@CharleneTruncer]

Why was your set more than double his price?

[@tbuggy55]

You saved me so much money friend. Thank you! Helpful tip: use the old suspension rod you pulled out, and snake it through the hole to grab the hook of the new suspension rod to make it easier to pull up. Once you reach the top add the clip, hold the new rod to keep it still and pull out the old rod. Made this replacement so easy.

[@ericacanova9519]

Omg! Thank you so much I wish I’d seen this a few months ago. Great ideas!

[@jerryhampton2746]

Best video for this problem. Using 2x4s makes the job far easier

You had an older video where you tried different materials for the dampeners. Did anything work long term?

[@ScarfaceMartinBeats]

Thanks alot! I was gonna call someone to come fix it but im doing it myself!

[@WasherDryerMoney]

Glad to help

[@bsspeedy45]

Watched so many similar videos but none of them advised resetting the computer at the end which helped me fully resolved the issue Thank you. (Only changing the suspension still had the drum banging around probably because it had operated with the bad suspension for so long)

[@WasherDryerMoney]

Glad to help. If it’s still banging around after new suspension, it probably is the outer drum has separated from the inner drum. There’s a new part that can fix that but it’s a more difficult fix.

[@Kains_whored]

What part is that

[@patankardesign]

Hi, I watched your video and fixed my washer and saved myself a lot of money. Thank you so much! I’m running the reset cycle right now. Hope this works like a new one now :) thanks again!!

[@Mountains4ever]

So today I replaced my inlet valve and once everything was hooked up, I did the calibration test and it sounded like my washing machine was getting beaten like a drum. Once it was done, i opened up the lid and saw that the drum was off center. One of the rods fell off because the plastic circle piece that holds it up top snapped in half. It was the back left rod. Will this be a pain in the ass to replace? You make it look easy, but I’ve never done it before lol

[@Robert-mc9os]

I have a Bravo model of Maytag and it would spin out of balance. I just changed the suspension rods and that solved the problem for about 5 washes. Now it's out of balance again. I did the re-calibration and the Spin light stayed on and is blinking. Any advice?

[@dl1027]

What is the bag of small springs that comes with the damping rods for?

[@honkeytonkjohnnygumbo1137]

Thanks for the video. You said that if there's a wobble it could be a bad hub and you would make another video.. Is there another video?

[@WasherDryerMoney]

Not yet. I’m in the middle of moving and plan on making it as soon as I’m settled in. There’s a couple videos out there about it. Check out Ben’s Appliances and junk video about it.

[@honkeytonkjohnnygumbo1137]

It was the dampening rods. Now it purrs like a kitten. Watched a bunch of videos, but yours was the one I used when it was time to operate. The 2x4's trick to support the drum was priceless. Made the job 10x easier. Great job, bro.

We have a brand new washer that is CONSTINTLY going off balance. Could this need done so early in its life?

[@KidsSchoolEmail]

Thank you for this video!! Did you ever make the video for the other problem/piece you showed at the beginning of the video? Thank you advance 😊

[@daddio7249]

Put new rods in, bought medium priced ones, did not help one bit. Bought the special grease and applied it to the old rods and swapped them. That worked for several months. Bought some high density foam and stuffed a 12 x 6 x 6 inch piece in two opposite corners near the bottom of the drum. That absorbs some of the motion until enough water gets spun out. Working so far.

[@summerw5962]

Thanks for the video. We first replaced the splutch and after that fix the washer started banging. Replaced the suspension rods and still have the banging. Is there another fix we could try before getting a new washer?

[@rickeykeeton4770]

Some dampening grease might help or oem rods. Might need to check the tub hub too. I think he has a video showing hub replacement. He mentions it in this video when he was talking about play between the two tubs.

[@CARDS3030]

Great tip to take the weight off the washer tub.

Hi do u have any videos with changing the samsung wooble washing machine

[@richvarga]

Are you preferring this rather than your older video where you addressed the problem more directly with the foam? And have you found the ideal fix with the gripper foam?

[@WasherDryerMoney]

Yeah, there’s actually several different tricks now to replace the phone. I think one of the best ones is just replacing the farm with 3/4 inch yoga mat cut the size. Also people have been using tacky grease.

[@girlsixdiva]

Hi... 0:44 Where is the video to replace the hub?

[@cathyb5759]

I have a Kenmore that is about 20 yrs old . Top loader of course. Basket moves like crazy on stuff like jeans, even tho, I onlyput 2 pair along with t shirts and I have even pulled them out during the first spin and reloaded what I thought was evenly to help. it's just not round and round, but side to side in ALL directions. Suspension Rods on this too possibly? As you know there are no lights, just good old turn knobs. I don't want one of those crappy new ones that won't let me open it w/out it stopping and staring over again. In fact, mine will run full cycle w/the lid open. Thanks

[@NutzBdragon]

i always thought the knocking was due to to much clothes or someone put them all on 1 side. ive been living with this noise for 5 years...... tomorrow ill fix it!

[@terryhelliker118]

I’ve replaced all 4 rods and even changed the hub, but the tub sways side to side and I just can’t figure out what’s wrong. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Whirlpool machine.

[@daddio7249]

I stuffed two foam rubber chunks in opposite corners near the bottom where the rods connect. Not too tight, the tub still has to wobble some, too tight is worse, I found that out.

[@abbies4142]

i know you described the drum wobble but i don't know what you mean? like the entire drum is very wobbly? or the inside and outside of drum?

[@WasherDryerMoney]

The inside compared to the outside drum. They usually connected and they are one solid piece. If it feels wobbly the connector that holds it onto the outer drum has failed. There’s actually a new repair. I haven’t done a video on yet.

God love you bud. I've gotta go down to visit my cousin in south Georgia in a few weeks, and his washer is doing this stuff, and the best part is? IT'S EVEN THE SAME MODEL as the one in your video. He's too afraid to tackle this himself, so he's waiting for my arrival. Anybody know, how old this model is? He bought it used, a little over a year ago.

[@WasherDryerMoney]

Glad to help. Sometimes you can find the manufacture date hidden in the serial number of the washer. Not the model number.

[@RandyOnTheRadio]

@@WasherDryerMoney Thanks for that info. The last 2 digits are 08 on the serial number, so I'm guessing, 2008? Could it really be that old ? I have no idea how bad this is yet, but should we replace the Ring-Tub WPW10215107 too ??

[@TraciOrr-xe8rv]

I just changed the rods and it is still jumping Amy suggestion as to what I should do now.

I replaced them all--very easy! Didn't help, till shook like an earthquake. My final fix was to wheel it out of my house and sell it for 50 bucks, then I bought a different style direct drive washer for a hundred bucks. Problem solved!

[@pcrepairguys]

I've replaced all 4 suspension rods and ball joint as well as installed the aluminum hub. No joy. Still just like riding a bull! Any ideas? No squeaks so bearings aren't bad. Also added bungee cords to help hold it still but it didn't help either.

[@WasherDryerMoney]

Have you checked to make sure the inside drum versus the outside drum are no longer moving after you put the new part in. You can grab the inside drum and shake it a little and see if it wiggles independently of the outside drum.

What model Speed Queen did you say was the best?

[@WasherDryerMoney]

I think it’s called TC5 just not the one with digital display or buttons. They also call this type of machine speed, queen classic clean. There’s probably nothing wrong with the new one. It’s just not been out long enough for me to say it’s as good as the original.

I am finding it gard to get suspension rod fir model: 2DWTW4800YQO. Can you help

[@JasonHitch75604]

The suspension rods never wear out, it is the dampers on the suspension rods that wear out. I replaced my dampers with rubber fuel line the ID and OD worked out perfectly. Also you can test your suspension rod dampers by pushing down on the tub and then releasing quickly to see if it bounces more than once, if it does your dampers are starting to wear out or have already worn out. And continued use with bad dampers will cause your hub to also go bad.

[@WasherDryerMoney]

That’s me. A lot of people have been using three force inch yoga mat or shop floor mat cut to size. Also the dampening grays.

[@thuggles42]
