..did you use dog legs in all four corners or just two opposing corners? needed a good pic of where to attach it was vague. and not much video or discussion on the dog legs. were they flexible or hard plastic? do you think the stress on the tub at the mount point from torsional spin of the tub bouncing around on worn suspension rods not eventually cause damage to the tub? this is a great fix when the suspension rods are either upgraded with the improved replacement rods now available or reconditioned using the rubber wrap method or other fix like wrapping solid rubber bungee twice around rod with hooks under where the rod rest on tub, other hook rest on top of rod top cover or renewing the shock material in the sliding apparatus with any material of choice that will again provide resistance to movement. would appreciate more info on the dog bones as where to obtain. so far our machine has the wrapped rubber hose and bungee fix combined. yet on heavy laundered items like bedding the tub moves around quite a bit before entering into stable spin. worry about starting a load leaving the house to come back to a cranked washer. the combo of updated rods / after market fix and wrapped bungee WITH the dog legs may be what allows this machine to be used without being chaperoned. hope to read a reply thanx for your videos. cheers

Had the same problem. We could not wash anything, even the smallest load, no matter the setting - dc error every time. A simple fix is to shut off the washer after the dc error comes up and manually adjust the load, if it looks unbalanced. Then hold the "SPIN" button for ten seconds, until you hear a beep. With the top closed, press "START" and it will immediately go into the spin cycle. So far this has worked for us.

Hi Calvin, I don't know what to tell you at this point. Whirlpool and Kenmore was the best machines. But now they have changed the design and we just don't know how bad or good the new design is going to be. The machines we work on the most is LG, GE and Samsung. We like the Whirlpool and Kenmore. But like I said it's hard to say now what is good or bad. Good luck!

I have the same washer, and was fighting the same DC code, going into maintenance mode, it looks like the drum always knocks at around 250 rpm. I did the same as you did in your two vides, Strengthening the rod spring (I used foam from an academy sit cushion, cut in strips and wraped inside the spring, then used a piece of bicycle inner tube to slide on top of the spring so foam stays secure inside) and for the washer not to go out of cycle, I did put a 26 inch inner tube inflated around the top of the drum. Works great, machine knocks a little, but only at 250 rpm, then it goes smooth up in the spin cycle. I'm sure if someone wants to fix their problem real quick, just go to academy, get a 4 dollars inner tube 26 inch, wrap it around the upper drum, and inflate it so it is 1/2 inch off the walls of the washer. it'll limit the movements of your drum and prevent the dc code.

Mine is similar to this model (color, buttons, and layout are the same) and it started to cycle through rinse and spin, with a major unbalanced knock. Small loads were ok, but I have to result to forcing it on spin or taking out the wet clothes and just using the dryer to finish the job. I’ve taken it apart, down to the agitator nut, which all seems OK. Like one other commenter, I would have liked to see your top-down view of the barrel. Mine does not (yet) produce the dc code.

I just came across this video today. I have a newer model that is not even three years old and I get a Ur (Unbalanced) code. I changed out the suspension rods and although you can tell it's better, I still get the code on when it gets close to the end with the last spin. You said this is a last resort so it will be my last resort. I've tried a few different solutions and nothing seems to work. I'm really disappointed with Samsung right now. I was a little confused as to where you secured the other end of the dog bone although I know it had to be somewhere near the corner on the mount where the spring rods are located. Thanks for the video!
