Samsung Refrigerator Repair – North Canton, OH (WA422PRHDWR/AA 01)

A Samsung washer in North Canton was hard to get through its cycle and continuously became unbalanced regardless of spin speed. Our diagnosis revealed worn-out shock dampers that could no longer stabilize the tub during operation.

The Problem

The customer reported their Samsung washer was hard to get through its cycle and continuously became unbalanced regardless of the speed of spin. The machine would stop mid-cycle due to excessive movement and vibration.

Diagnosis

The shocks to hold the tub up were worn out. These damper assemblies are critical for controlling tub movement during the spin cycle, and when they fail, the washer cannot maintain proper balance even at lower speeds.

The Repair

• Parts replaced: DC97-05280W — Assembly Damper
• Work performed: Replaced worn-out shock dampers with new ones
• Result: Washer completed full cycles without unbalancing issues

Is It Worth Repairing?

Samsung washers from this era are generally reliable machines when maintained properly. Damper replacement is a common repair that typically provides years of continued service. For a washer of this age and quality, replacing worn suspension components is usually more economical than purchasing a new unit.

Maintenance Tips for Samsung Washers

• Distribute clothes evenly in the drum before starting cycles to reduce strain on dampers
• Avoid overloading the washer, which can accelerate shock damper wear
• Check that the washer is level periodically, as an unlevel machine puts extra stress on suspension components
