Great video, helped me fix my Samsung WF45R6100AW washer, replaced all 4 shock absorbers. Thanks!

You're videos are very helpful. Is there a way to test these shock absorbers to see if they need replacement? My washer has balance issues and I'd like to determine if this is related to the shock absorbers before I take the machine apart to diagnose further. Thank you.

I echo Daniel B from 1 year ago. Your video on this topic was very methodical, and apart from some small differences, allowed me to complete this repair. Hats off. JD

Thank you for the very detailed video. Especially the reassembly. Most DIY videos always say "Assembly is reverse of disassembly"

Great video - very helpful. Replacing the front left shock was much easier on my model once I removed the lower cement weight. It was also a bit easier not using a deep well socket.

Thank you!

Great video! I wish you shown the actual noise it makes when there is a bad shock.

Also, the part you listed is DC66-00470A. However I saw there is also a D66-00470B. Cannot understand what the difference is between "A" vs "B"

Thanks for posting this video. It has helped me greatly with replacing the shock absorbers.

What about the springs? Do the springs loosen up after a few years of hard work? Should they be replaced at the same time?

[p.g.]

I replaced shocks and springs and it was still shaking. I finally figured out what the problem was. There is a drain on the bottom of the door seal. That drain was clogged. Due to that drain being clogged the cloths had excess water on them. That made the cloths weigh a lot more. When the tub would go from rinse to spin it would shake. I cleared that drain and the shaking went away. This can happen on a brand new machine also.

How tight should the shock bolts be? Is there a torque setting?

[j.rsoules]

I have a question, one set of absorbers is black and one pair are yellow tipped.does it matter if they go in front or back

[elimuanderson]

Thanks so much! You saved me a LOT of money 👍🏾

Would the front shock absorbers be why my tub seems to lean down & back more? I replaced back ones but it didn't fix the crazy shaking/loud noises during spin cycle :/

[maddoxinc]

Are the new shock absorbers supposed to have any play in them when you move them in an out or should they have resistance the entire time?

Hello, we are looking for shock absorbers for a Samsung washing machine model wf18h5000aw. Are the ones in the video the same for this model? Donde puedo comprar los cuatro?

[hipatrykk]

Hi guys, I have Samsung Ecobubble and it's shaking and vibrating as crazy while spinning + you can feel and hear like punch sound inside while changing the direction of spinning the drum. Is it also sympthom of shock absorbers or something else?

[charleshyrne]

How can I tell which shock absorbers are bad from the good ones?

[majik]

WF42H5000AW/A2

Are they the same shock absorbers for the front and the back?

[ers]

I have an issue removing the front bolts on the shock absorber. When trying to remove the bolt with the socket wrench, the bolt just turns but doesnt get loose. I believe its the washer in the back it moves too every time I turn
