This Part Fixes These Problems

DC / UE / UB / UR Error Code

Worn or broken suspension rods cause the tub to sit unevenly, triggering Samsung's unbalance error codes (DC, UE, UB, UR). Replacing all four rods restores tub balance and clears the error.

Excessive Vibration & Shaking

If the washer shakes violently or moves across the floor during spin, one or more suspension rods have likely lost their damping ability. New rods absorb shock and stabilize the tub.

Loud Banging or Clunking Noise

A failed suspension rod allows the tub to contact the cabinet walls during agitation or spin, producing loud banging sounds. Replacing the rod eliminates metal-on-metal impact noise.

Spin Cycle Stops Repeatedly

The control board may interrupt the spin cycle multiple times attempting to rebalance the load when suspension rods are weak. Replacing all rods simultaneously resolves uneven wear and restores normal spin operation.

Product Description

Why Choose Our DC97-16350E Suspension Rod Assembly?

🔧
Built to OEM SpecificationsEngineered to match original Samsung dimensions (~26.3–26.7 inches overall length) with reinforced steel rod and integrated spring — an exact functional replacement for the OEM DC97-16350E.
🛡️
Corrosion-Resistant Steel ConstructionHeavy-duty reinforced steel core with anti-corrosion outer coating. Tough spring assembly resists bending and fatigue — designed to outlast the original plastic-dampened rods.
🔇
Eliminates Vibration & NoiseStabilizes the wash tub by absorbing shock during spin cycles. Stops the drum from banging against the cabinet and clears DC, UE, and UR unbalance error codes on Samsung top-load washers.
🔄
Wide Cross-Reference CompatibilityDirect substitute for AP5669739, PS4276369, 3282690, DC97-16350C, DC97-16350D, DC97-16350J, DC97-16350K, DC97-05280W, DC97-05280H, DC97-05280K, DC97-05280X and more.
🏠
DIY-Friendly InstallationNo special tools required. Remove the top panel, disconnect old rods from upper frame and tub base, snap new rods into place with a dab of lithium grease on pivot points. Most homeowners finish in 30–45 minutes.
💰
Significant Savings vs. OEM PriceOEM single-rod price listed at $12.48–$12.99 per piece on major parts sites. Our aftermarket rod delivers the same tub-stabilizing performance at a fraction of dealer cost — replace all four and still save.

💡 Pro Tip: How to Confirm Your Suspension Rod Has Failed

Your part is likely the culprit if you notice any of the following:

⚠️ Washer displays DC, UE, UB, or UR error codes repeatedly during spin

⚠️ Machine shakes violently or "walks" across the floor during spin cycle

⚠️ Loud banging or clunking noise heard during agitation or spin

⚠️ Control board stops the spin cycle multiple times trying to rebalance the load

🔍 Tech Tip: Open the lid and press down firmly on each corner of the tub. If any corner drops more than the others or feels loose/springy, that rod is worn or broken. Always replace all four rods at the same time to prevent uneven wear and recurring imbalance issues.

📦 What's in the Box

✅ 1× DC97-16350E Suspension Rod Assembly with Integrated Spring (~26.3–26.7 in. length) — Note: Most Samsung top-load washers require a quantity of 4. Please order accordingly.

Questions & Answers

How many DC97-16350E suspension rods do I need to replace?
Answered by Support Team  ·  Mar 15, 2024
Most Samsung top-load washers use four suspension rods — one at each corner of the tub. This listing is for a single rod. We strongly recommend replacing all four at the same time to prevent uneven wear and recurring imbalance issues. Check your model's service diagram to confirm the exact quantity needed.
Will this rod fix my Samsung washer's DC error code?
Answered by Support Team  ·  Nov 20, 2023
Yes, in most cases. The DC (and UE/UB/UR) error codes on Samsung top-load washers are triggered when the tub loses balance during spin. Weak or broken suspension rods are the most common cause. Replacing all four DC97-16350E rods restores proper tub support and typically clears these error codes permanently.
Is this an OEM Samsung part or an aftermarket replacement?
Answered by Support Team  ·  Jan 8, 2025
This is an aftermarket (non-OEM) replacement part manufactured to match OEM specifications — same dimensions (~26.3–26.7 in. length), same steel-rod-and-spring construction, and same mounting points as the original Samsung DC97-16350E. It is not made by Samsung but is a direct functional replacement at a lower cost.
What other part numbers does DC97-16350E replace?
Answered by Support Team  ·  Jul 22, 2024
DC97-16350E is cross-referenced with a large number of Samsung suspension rod variants including AP5669739, PS4276369, 3282690, DC97-16350C, DC97-16350D, DC97-16350J, DC97-16350K, DC97-05280W, DC97-05280H, DC97-05280K, DC97-05280X, DC97-18610B, and DC97-18610C. Always verify the rod length matches your original part before ordering.
How do I know if my suspension rod is broken without fully disassembling the washer?
Answered by Support Team  ·  Feb 10, 2026
Open the washer lid and press down firmly on each corner of the tub. If one corner drops significantly lower than the others, feels unusually soft, or springs back inconsistently, that rod is likely worn or broken. Also listen for a clunking noise when pressing — a loose lower hook or detached ball socket will produce a distinct knock. If in doubt, replace all four rods at once for best results.
