A Samsung top-load washer at a home on Prospect Avenue in Canton, OH wasn’t spinning out clothes properly. The unit would pump out water but leave clothes soaking wet after the spin cycle. Our inspection revealed structural damage that explained the spinning issue.
The Problem
The customer reported their Samsung washer was not spinning, though it pumps out but not spinning out. Clothes were coming out of the wash cycle still dripping wet, indicating the spin function had failed.
Diagnosis
During our examination of the washer, we discovered the tub is bent slightly. This structural damage prevents the drum from spinning properly during the extraction cycle, leaving clothes saturated with water.
The Repair
- Parts replaced: No parts recorded
- Work performed: Diagnostic evaluation of spinning mechanism and tub assembly
- Result: Identified bent tub as root cause of spin failure
Is It Worth Repairing?
For this Samsung top-load washer with a bent tub, repair costs would exceed the unit’s remaining value. As noted during our service, if it happens again will need a new washer because the cost of fixing it would not be worth it. Tub replacement on this model involves essentially rebuilding the entire machine.
Maintenance Tips for Samsung Washers
- Distribute loads evenly to prevent tub stress and potential warping during high-speed spin cycles
- Check Samsung’s load capacity guidelines — overloading can cause structural damage over time
- Clean the drum monthly with Samsung’s recommended cleaning cycle to maintain optimal performance
