XPARTCO DC97-16350V Washer Suspension Rod Kit (Set of 4)
The XPARTCO DC97-16350V is an aftermarket replacement washer suspension rod kit (set of 4) compatible with select Samsung top-load washers in the WA48, WA50, WA52, and WA54 series. The suspension rods are spring-loaded shock-absorbing rods that connect the outer tub to the top of the washer cabinet, suspending the tub and dampening the vibrations generated during agitation and high-speed spin cycles. All four rods work together to keep the tub centered and stable — when one or more rods weaken, break, or lose their spring tension, the tub swings off-center and strikes the cabinet walls, causing violent shaking, banging, error code dc (out of balance), UE imbalance errors, and progressive damage to the washer cabinet and internal components.
Each rod is 27.5 inches in overall length and is constructed from spring steel with a plastic top cap and bottom cup that clip into the tub and cabinet mounting points. The kit includes all 4 suspension rods — always replace all four at the same time since the rods wear at the same rate. Installs in 20–30 minutes — no special tools required. Note: rods are coated with grease — wear gloves during installation.

Installation Notes
⚠️ Unplug Washer and Shut Off Water Before Starting — Wear Gloves Disconnect power and turn off the water supply before beginning. Wear work gloves throughout — the suspension rods are coated with grease. Remove the lid of the washer and the top panel (typically secured by screws under the lid hinge covers and at the rear corners). With the top panel removed, the four suspension rods are visible, each running from a mounting point on the tub rim up to a hook or bracket at the top corners of the cabinet frame. Note the orientation and attachment method of each rod before removing. Unhook the top of the old rod from the cabinet bracket and lift the bottom cup off the tub mounting pin. Install each new DC97-16350V rod by seating the bottom cup onto the tub mounting pin and hooking the top over the cabinet bracket. Replace all four rods before reassembling. Reinstall the top panel and lid, restore power and water, then run a spin cycle to verify smooth, stable operation. Tools needed: Phillips screwdriver; no special tools required for the rods themselves.
Frequently Asked Questions
What do the suspension rods do?
The suspension rods are spring-loaded shock absorbers that hang the outer washer tub from the top corners of the cabinet frame. They suspend the tub in the center of the cabinet and absorb the vibrations and movement generated during agitation and high-speed spin cycles. As long as all four rods have equal spring tension, the tub stays centered and stable. When one or more rods lose tension, stretch, or break, the tub is no longer held evenly and begins to swing off-center during spin — striking the cabinet walls, causing the loud banging, vibration, and imbalance error codes that indicate the rods need replacement.
Why must I replace all 4 rods instead of just the broken one?
All four suspension rods experience the same amount of wear over the same number of wash cycles. When one rod fails, the remaining three have experienced the same stress and fatigue and are likely to fail soon after. Replacing only the broken rod leaves three worn rods supporting the tub unevenly, which can cause the new rod to wear faster and may not fully resolve the vibration problem. Replacing all four at the same time ensures even tub support, fully resolves the imbalance, and prevents a repeat repair in the near future.
What do error codes dc and UE mean on Samsung washers?
On Samsung top-load washers, error code dc (or sometimes dC) means the washer has detected an out-of-balance condition during the spin cycle and has stopped to prevent damage. Error code UE means an unbalanced load that the machine cannot automatically correct by redistributing. Both codes can be caused by an actual overloaded or unevenly distributed laundry load — but if the errors occur frequently even with normal loads and proper load distribution, worn or broken suspension rods are the most common mechanical cause. Replacing the rod kit resolves these errors in most cases.
How is the DC97-16350V different from DC97-16350U or DC97-16350S?
The DC97-16350V, DC97-16350U, and DC97-16350S are all Samsung suspension rods, but they have different lengths for different washer model generations and capacities. The DC97-16350V is 27.5 inches long and is used on larger-capacity WA48–WA54 series Samsung washers. The DC97-16350U is approximately 26.4 inches and is used on mid-capacity WA45–WA50 series models. The DC97-16350S and DC97-16350C are shorter versions for earlier or smaller-capacity models. Using the wrong length rod can cause the tub to sit at the incorrect height inside the cabinet. Always verify your model number before ordering to confirm the correct rod length.
Is this an OEM or aftermarket part?
This is an aftermarket replacement kit built to OEM-equivalent quality standards. It is not a genuine Samsung OEM part, but is manufactured from spring steel with plastic end caps to match the length and spring tension of the original DC97-16350V suspension rods.

XPARTCO WE01X25316 Dryer Door Catch
The XPARTCO WE01X25316 is an aftermarket replacement dryer door catch (also called a door latch) compatible with a wide range of GE and Hotpoint electric and gas dryers in the GTD, GTX, ETD, HTX, NTX, PTD, and YTD series. The door catch is the spring-loaded latch mechanism mounted inside the dryer door panel that snaps onto the door strike on the dryer cabinet when the door is closed, holding the door securely shut during operation and activating the door switch so the dryer can run. When the catch breaks or loses its spring tension, the door will not stay closed, the dryer will not start, or the door will pop open during a drying cycle.
This replacement catch is constructed from toughened nylon with a hardened manganese steel spring — materials chosen for superior wear resistance and spring durability compared to standard nylon. It is sold individually and mounts inside the dryer door panel using a snap-in clip retained by a metal retaining ring. Installation requires partially disassembling the dryer door to access the catch from the inside. It directly replaces 4512762, AP6037347, EAP11766999, PD00042653, and PS11766999. Installs in 15–30 minutes with basic tools.

Installation Notes
⚠️ Unplug Dryer Before Starting — Door Disassembly Required Unplug the dryer before beginning. Unlike simpler snap-in door catches, the WE01X25316 is mounted inside the dryer door panel and requires partially disassembling the door to access it. Open the dryer door and remove the screws on the latch side of the door (typically three screws) and the screws on the hinge side (typically five screws). Gently pry the door inner and outer panels apart — work carefully around the edge. With the panels separated, locate the old catch — use pliers to squeeze the gray retaining tabs together and push downward to release the catch from the inner panel. With needle-nose pliers, squeeze the metal retaining clip and apply downward force until the clip is free. Insert the new WE01X25316 catch into the panel opening and snap it into place, then press the retaining clip back on to lock it. Reassemble the door panels and reinstall all screws. Close the door to confirm it latches firmly. Restore power and run a short cycle to verify normal operation. Tools needed: drill driver with 1/4" bit, #1 square head bit, pliers, needle-nose pliers.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why does installation require disassembling the door?
Unlike the snap-in door catches found on many Whirlpool-family dryers — which clip into a slot accessible from the front without disassembly — the WE01X25316 mounts inside the GE door panel between the inner and outer door skins. This is a GE-specific design that provides a cleaner door exterior but requires separating the two door panels to access and replace the catch. While it is more involved than a simple snap-in replacement, it is a well-documented DIY repair that most homeowners can complete in 15–30 minutes with the right tools.
My dryer door closes but the dryer still won't start — is it the catch?
It may be — a worn or cracked catch may not push far enough into the door strike to fully activate the door switch, even if the door appears closed. However, if the catch appears intact and snaps firmly onto the strike, the issue may be with the door switch itself rather than the catch. The door switch (located inside the dryer cabinet at the door opening) can be tested with a multimeter for continuity in the open and closed positions. If the switch tests open in both positions, it has failed and needs replacement independently of the door catch.
Is this compatible with older GE dryers that have a different door catch style?
The WE01X25316 is for newer GE GTD, GTX, HTX, and related series dryers. Older GE dryers used a different door catch kit — most notably the WE01X1158 / WE1M536 / WE1M1011 style, which is a separate catch and strike kit. If your GE dryer is an older model not in the GTD/GTX/HTX series listed above, verify your model number before ordering to confirm this is the correct catch for your dryer.
Is this an OEM or aftermarket part?
This is an aftermarket replacement part built to OEM-equivalent quality standards. It is not a genuine GE OEM part, but is manufactured from toughened nylon with a hardened manganese steel spring to match the dimensions and function of the original WE01X25316 door catch.

W11670519 Genuine OEM Whirlpool Washer Lid Lock Latch Assembly
The W11670519 is a genuine Whirlpool OEM lid lock latch assembly for Maytag top-load washers on the Cabrio-style MVW platform. Unlike a simple mechanical lid switch, this is a true electronic lid lock: a 3-wire connector feeds the assembly, which both senses whether the lid is closed and physically locks it shut once a cycle with spin is underway. The control won't allow the washer to spin — and on many cycles won't even let it start — until this assembly confirms the lid is closed and locked, which is why a failing latch produces such a wide range of symptoms: a washer that won't start, a lid that won't lock or won't release, cycles that stall or interrupt partway through, or a washer that fills and agitates but refuses to spin.
Built from high-strength, wear-resistant ABS and PP plastic with a precision locking mechanism, this assembly is designed to prevent the lid from popping open mid-spin, which protects against water leakage and the safety hazard of an open lid on a spinning basket. Common failure modes include a locking mechanism that has worn out and can no longer engage or release reliably, a broken internal switch that stops signaling lid status to the control board, and simple wear from years of daily cycling. It directly replaces W11368616, AP7214714, PD00085482, 4981394, PS17215992, and EAP17215992. As a genuine OEM part, the W11670519 is manufactured by Whirlpool to factory specifications — guaranteed fit, materials, and performance.

Installation Notes
⚠️ Unplug Washer Before Starting — If The Lid Is Locked Shut, Release It Manually First Disconnect power at the outlet or shut off the circuit breaker before beginning. Wear work gloves. If the old latch has failed in the locked position and you can't open the lid, insert a small flathead screwdriver into the latch opening where the lock mechanism engages through the lid, and gently slide the mechanism back to release it — then prop the lid open so it can't re-close and re-lock while you work. Remove the two screws holding the top section (control panel, lid, and wash basket opening) and slide the top of the unit forward and up to remove it, then prop it securely (a sturdy support between the cabinet frame and the top panel works well) rather than relying on your hands to hold it up. With the top propped open, remove the plastic cowl that the lid latch sits inside, which also retains the lock mechanism. Unclip the wiring harness from the retaining clips running around the inside of the lid and let the assembly hang free. Photograph the wiring connections before disconnecting the 3-wire connector from the old assembly. At the back of the lid, two metal spring clips retain the mechanism — squeeze these with your fingers or a set of pliers to release the old assembly, then pop the new W11670519 into place the same way. Reconnect the 3-wire connector, reclip the wiring harness into its retaining clips, and reinstall the plastic cowl. Lower the top panel back into position, reinstall its retaining screws, and confirm the lid closes, latches, and locks correctly through a full test cycle including spin. Tools needed: small flathead screwdriver, Phillips screwdriver, pliers, a sturdy prop for the top panel, work gloves.
Frequently Asked Questions
My washer fills and agitates but won't spin. Is this the lid lock?
Yes, this is one of the most common symptoms of a failing lid lock latch on this platform. The control requires confirmation that the lid is closed and locked before it will allow the higher-speed, higher-torque spin cycle to run, even if it's willing to run the gentler fill and agitate steps without full confirmation. If your washer gets partway through a cycle and simply refuses to spin, this assembly is a strong suspect.
The lid keeps clicking but never actually locks. What does that mean?
A repeated clicking sound without the lid actually locking usually points to a worn or failing internal locking mechanism inside this assembly — it's attempting to engage but can't complete the lock reliably. This is a textbook symptom that this part has worn out and needs replacement.
My washer's lid is locked shut and won't open. How do I even get it open to do this repair?
With the washer unplugged, you can usually manually release the lock: insert a small flathead screwdriver into the latch opening where the mechanism engages through the lid, and gently slide it back to disengage the lock. Once the lid is open, prop it so it can't fall shut and re-lock while you continue the repair.
Is this the same part as the lid switches used on other Whirlpool washers?
No. This is an electronic locking latch assembly specific to the Maytag Cabrio-style MVW platform, and it works differently from the simpler mechanical lid switches used on other Whirlpool-family platforms, including the direct-drive top-load switch, the Whirlpool thin-twin switch, and various GE-platform switches we also carry. These parts are not interchangeable with each other — always match the assembly to your specific washer platform.
Is this an OEM or aftermarket part?
This is a genuine OEM part, manufactured by Whirlpool to factory specifications — guaranteed fit, materials, and performance. It includes the same 3-wire electrical connection, locking mechanism, and ABS/PP construction as the lid lock latch assembly originally installed in your Maytag Cabrio-style washer.

XPARTCO WH08X37938 Washer Lid Switch Assembly
The XPARTCO WH08X37938 is an aftermarket replacement lid switch (lid lock) assembly for GE and Hotpoint top-load washers, also used on select Kenmore models. The assembly locks the lid while the washer is running and releases it when the cycle ends, and it tells the control board the lid is closed and it's safe to run. When it wears out, cracks, or fails electrically, the washer may refuse to start, stop in the middle of a cycle, show a lid or door lock error, or fail to lock the lid at all.
This assembly replaces the original lock and switch as a unit, so you do not have to diagnose which internal contact has failed. It mounts on the washer cabinet with an electrical connector and is a straightforward repair, usually done in under an hour.
Quick Answer
The XPARTCO WH08X37938 Lid Switch Assembly fixes a GE or Hotpoint top-load washer that won't start, stops mid-cycle, won't lock the lid, or shows a lid or door lock error because the lid lock is worn or has failed. Complete replacement lock and switch assembly, aftermarket. Classic symptom: you close the lid and nothing happens, or the washer starts then stops and signals a lid or lock fault.

Washer won't start when the lid is closed

Installation Notes
⚠️ Unplug Power and Shut Off Water Unplug the washer and turn off the water supply before starting. Work gloves are recommended. Open the lid and, following your model's service guide, remove the top panel or cabinet section to reach the lid lock mounted on the cabinet. Note the position of the old assembly, disconnect its wiring connector, and remove the screws holding it in place. Fit the new assembly in the same position, secure it, and reconnect the connector. Reassemble the washer, restore power and water, and run a short cycle to confirm the lid locks, the washer starts, and the lid releases at the end.
Frequently Asked Questions
My washer won't start with the lid closed. Is this the part I need?
A failed lid lock is a common cause. The control board won't start a cycle unless it sees the lid is closed and locked. Check that the lid closes fully and that nothing is blocking it. If it still won't start, the lid lock is a likely cause.
Is a lid switch the same as a lid lock?
On these washers, the lid switch and lock are combined in one assembly, which this part replaces.
My old part is marked WH08X32697 or WH08X31577. Will this work?
Those numbers are on the Replaces list. Compare the connector and mounting against your old part, or contact our support team with your model number and we'll confirm.
Will this fit my front-load washer?
No. This is for top-load washers.
Is this an OEM part?
No. This is an XPARTCO aftermarket replacement built to match the GE WH08X37938. If you prefer a genuine OEM assembly, contact us.
