Best Tools for Samsung Washer Repair
Essential Equipment for Suspension Rod Replacement
🔧 Milwaukee Fuel Surge 1/4" Hex Hydraulic Driver Kit
ESSENTIAL
This is the best drill I found - the power is crazy! This is the only drill in the room where it can replace all your drills. It's heavy enough to impact out 3/4 inch nuts and it's also small and compact enough to be your everyday drill. It's very quiet too.

💧 Sil-Glyde Lubricant
ESSENTIAL
Critical for proper installation! Apply to the suspension rod receptacles to prevent squeaking and ensure smooth operation. This silicone-based lubricant won't degrade rubber or plastic components. One tube lasts for multiple repairs.

🔦 Fenix HM65R-T V2.0 Running Headlamp, 1600 Lumen
ESSENTIAL
The absolute best headlamp I've ever owned and I've tried many. The battery life is phenomenal and more importantly it's durable - it doesn't break after uses. I've had the same one for two years consistently with no issues. I'd be happy with just six months - completely worth it.

🍋 Yummy Lemon Scented Wipes!
RECOMMENDED
First of all the scent's amazing. You can't sell stick without a sizzle - these are the greatest way to put the ice in my repairs. Wipe the machine out with this, the machine will smell great and look great. These have some sort of gentle solvent which cleans even really sticky gunky stuff well.

📱 Smartphone or Camera
ESSENTIAL
Take photos before and during disassembly! Document wire connections, hose routing, and component positions. These reference photos are invaluable during reassembly and can prevent costly mistakes.
⚠️ Important Safety Note
Always unplug the washer and turn off water supply before beginning any repair. If your Samsung washer is on the recall list, DO NOT attempt repair - contact Samsung immediately.
