Maybe not 100% on topic, but I think there will be people in here who value repairing things and keeping them going longer.
I have a front loading washing machine (clothes) where the inner metal drum that spins is no longer sitting in the right position inside the larger plastic watertight container. It was still being driven to turn, but was rubbing at some point and so struggling to spin, and vibrations were bad. I don't know how things are connected inside there but I'm imagining a bearing or two inside has failed. I don't see any sign of other damage to other parts like the motor or the springs.
Is that likely to be something reasonably easy to repair myself? I'm happy enough disconnecting and reconnecting the electrical connections, but would you need any specialist tools for the seals or big springs? Or maybe the whole watertight part is a single piece and not designed to be repaired inside?
Thanks for any advice or info.
If i haven't described it well enough please ask questions...
Cheers!
To my knowledge, the “spider” that holds the drum in place is the weak point on a washing machine, and this is typical symptom list. As far as I know, they’re not economically viable to replace. But give it a google and see!
After taking my washing machine apart and finding out that the spider had corroded to the point of failure while every single other part was made out of stainless steel and 100% pristine, I will never buy any Samsung product ever again in my life.
