# Samsung washer spin and balance repair

### Ten minutes that decide whether this is a repair at all

A test spin with three or four similar towels spread evenly round the drum answers most of this. If it spins, the machine is healthy and the complaint is loading — a single bath sheet or a duvet will stop any front loader. If it will not spin an even load, then it is levelling first, which is free, and after that the suspension rods, the shock absorbers and the sensor that watches the drum.

What this involves

Level, suspension, shocks and the Mems sensor checked in turn

Ub, Ur and dc read correctly — dc means two things on this make

The drum bearing assessed honestly, including when it is not worth it

Separate the laundry from the machine

A test spin with an evenly loaded drum answers most of this in ten minutes.

Then level it and check what holds it up

A machine that rocks on the floor will never spin a heavy load cleanly, and levelling is free.

Check the door lock

A front loader will not spin unless it is certain the door is locked, so a lock problem presents as a spin problem.

Assess the drum bearing honestly

A rumble that has been getting worse over months is a bearing, and on many machines that is an outer tub assembly. We give you the number and the arithmetic before you decide.

### It walks across the floor when it spins.

Level it before anything else, and check the feet lock nuts are tight. A machine that moves is wearing out its own suspension, so this is worth doing quickly.

### Will you tell me the price before you start?

Yes, in writing, after the diagnostic and before anything is opened. Every figure on this site is a starting point; the number you agree to is the one you pay.
