DC97-15491A Samsung Washing Machine Rear Drum Support Assembly

Washing Machine Rear Drum Support Assembly

The Flange Shaft Assembly, an OEM component for Samsung washing machines, connects the inner tub to the drive motor. This connection allows the tub to spin during the wash and spin cycles. When replacing this assembly, it's important to purchase new mounting screws. The existing hex mounting bolts often break during removal, so inspect them and order replacements if necessary.

Replace the flange shaft assembly if it shows signs of wear or damage. This can result from prolonged use, overloading, or exposure to harsh conditions. Wear and tear, corrosion, or physical damage can all affect its performance.

Indicators of a faulty flange shaft assembly include:

- Unusual noises during spin cycles
- Excessive vibration or movement of the washer tub
- Washer not spinning properly or at all
- Leaks from the tub area

This OEM Samsung part is crucial for the smooth and efficient operation of your washing machine.

Additionally, note that the support may exhibit some cracking. This is a normal result of the manufacturer's casting process and does not indicate a defect.
