DC61-02432A Genuine OEM Samsung Washer Suspension Spring Guide
The DC61-02432A is a genuine Samsung OEM suspension spring guide (bracket) for Samsung and select Kenmore washers. This small but structurally important bracket connects the washer's outer frame to one of the suspension springs that support the wash tub, keeping the spring correctly seated and aligned as the tub moves during fill, wash, and especially spin. The tub itself hangs suspended inside the cabinet, and it's this network of springs and guides that lets it move and absorb vibration without banging against the surrounding frame or panels.
Because this guide holds the spring in its proper working position, a cracked, worn, or broken guide lets the spring drift out of alignment or lose tension where it seats. The result is usually excessive tub movement, unusual banging or knocking noises (especially during spin), or a washer that seems to "walk" or vibrate more than it used to. Left unaddressed, a spring that has come loose from a failed guide can allow the tub to strike the cabinet repeatedly, accelerating wear on nearby components. It directly replaces AP5581510, 2069491, and PS4206750. As a genuine OEM part, the DC61-02432A is manufactured by Samsung to factory specifications — guaranteed fit, materials, and performance.
Quick Answer
The DC61-02432A Genuine OEM Samsung Washer Suspension Spring Guide fixes Samsung and select Kenmore washers with excessive tub movement, unusual banging or knocking noise (especially during spin), a washer that vibrates or "walks" more than it used to, or a suspension spring that has come loose or shifted out of position. Connects the washer frame to the suspension spring. Replaces AP5581510, 2069491, PS4206750. This bracket doesn't replace or include the spring itself — if the spring is stretched, rusted, or broken, it should be replaced separately alongside this guide.

Installation Notes
⚠️ Unplug Washer Before Starting Disconnect power at the outlet before beginning. Wear work gloves. Depending on your washer's design, you may need to remove the cabinet or rear access panel to reach the suspension spring and its guide bracket at the top of the tub assembly. Photograph how the old guide and spring are connected to the frame before removing anything, since suspension components are often symmetrical and easy to reverse or mismatch between mounting points. Carefully release the tension on the affected spring — depending on the model, this may involve unhooking the spring from the frame or the tub side first, then removing the old guide from its mounting point on the frame. Install the new DC61-02432A guide in the same position, then reattach the spring, making sure it seats fully and squarely in the new guide. Check any other springs and guides in the suspension system while you're in there, since if one has failed from age or wear, the others are often not far behind. Reassemble any panels you removed, restore power, and run a spin cycle to confirm the excessive movement, vibration, or banging noise has resolved. Tools needed: screwdriver (model-dependent access), pliers (helpful for spring tension), work gloves.
Frequently Asked Questions
My washer bangs loudly during spin. Is this the part I need?
It's a strong possibility, especially if the banging has developed gradually or seems to come from inside the cabinet near the tub. This guide keeps the suspension spring seated and aligned; when it cracks or wears out, the spring can shift out of position, letting the tub move more than it should and strike nearby components. Before ordering, it's worth opening up the access panel if you're comfortable doing so, to visually confirm whether a spring has come loose or a guide bracket looks cracked or broken.
Does this part include the suspension spring?
No — this is the guide/bracket only, which connects the frame to the spring. If your suspension spring itself is stretched, rusted, corroded, or snapped, you'll need to order the correct spring for your model separately in addition to this guide.
Should I replace just one guide, or check the others too?
It's worth inspecting the other suspension springs and guides while you have access, since they're typically all the same age and subject to the same wear. If one has failed, the others may not be far behind, and replacing them together can save you from repeating this repair again soon after.
Is this an OEM or aftermarket part?
This is a genuine OEM part, manufactured by Samsung to factory specifications — guaranteed fit, materials, and performance. It matches the original bracket geometry and mounting fit of the suspension spring guide originally installed in your washer.
