DC97-17004E Samsung Washer Shaft Flange Assembly

Washer Shaft Flange Assembly. This component, known as the Assy Flange Shaft, is a standard OEM part designed specifically for Samsung washing machines. It serves as a crucial link between the drive belt and the drum, facilitating the drum's rotation during both washing and spinning cycles. This ensures the drum operates smoothly and remains stable.

Over time, the Assy Flange Shaft may degrade due to regular use, excessive loading, or from foreign objects interfering with the mechanism. When the flange shaft is damaged, whether it's worn, cracked, or broken, several issues can arise. These include increased noise levels, drum misalignment, or a total halt in drum rotation.

Indicators of a faulty Assy Flange Shaft are:

- Noticeable banging or knocking sounds during operation.
- The drum struggling or failing to rotate or spin.
- Loads that appear uneven or unbalanced.
- Clear signs of damage or deterioration on the flange shaft itself.

Additionally, this OEM part is compatible with certain Kenmore/Sears models, enhancing its versatility across different appliances.
