What bearings are on a Samsung washing machine?
Before you begin repairing the bearing assembly, you need to find out what bearings are on your Samsung washing machine. The diameter and thickness of the “rings” vary depending on the model of the washer, and incorrectly selected spare parts will not allow you to complete the job. If you don’t want to stop buying additional components, we suggest you immediately look at the size chart.
Compliance of components with machine models
It’s easy to avoid making a mistake when choosing components – just study the corresponding size table first. It lists all the popular machines from Samsung and the bearings and seals that go with them. At the same time, the key characteristics of the spare parts are given: width, diameter of the internal and external holes. Thus, it is recommended to observe the following “combinations”.
- Bearing 203-204 fits Samsung S621, S801, P1091, WF 7522S8R, P8091, F1013J, F1015J, WF-F1061/YLW, S803J, S821, S832, S 852, S1005J, S1021, S1043, SWF-P12 models , WF 6458N7W and WF 7520S8C. This number is also used in bearing units of Samsung S815, S813, R833, P843GW, P843 GWIYLP and R1031 GWS1U\YLW. The oil seal here is required in dimensions 25x50.55x10 or 25x50.5x10/12.
- Size 204-205 is installed on Samsung washing machines of the WF0592SRK brand. The kit includes an oil seal 30×60.55×10.
- Rings marked 205-206 are suitable for Samsung WF-B1062, SWF-P10, P1043GW/YLP, WF B1061 brands. Also, numbers 205 and 206 are used when repairing washing machines SWF-P10 IW/YLW, WF-B1061, R833 and R1031. The cuff is purchased in the size 35x65.55*10*12 or 44.7*65.55*10\12.
- Single row bearings 305-306 are installed on Samsung WF-R105 AV washing machines. The largest oil seal is needed - 35*75.5*10/12.
For most Samsung washing machines, a bearing marked 203-204 is suitable.
It’s easy to see that rings 203-204 are more often in demand. The fact is that number 203 has the most universal dimensions. Its internal diameter is 17 mm, external - 40 mm, and the width of the ring does not exceed 12 mm. The mounting chamfer takes 1 mm, and the part weighs about 0.073 kg. If we consider imported analogues, then brand 6203 is suitable.
The next one in the size range is bearing 205. As an imported analogue, there is number 6205. It has larger sizes. Thus, the internal diameter increases to 25 mm, and the outer line - to 52 mm. The width is 15 mm, the mounting chamfer is 1.5 mm, while the weight is limited to 0.129 kg.
The largest typical single row bearing is listed as “305” or “6305” in the international designation. The inner diameter of the ring is 25 mm, while the outer diameter reaches 62 mm. The width of the spare part is 17 mm, which also affects the size of the mounting chamfer, which is set to 2 mm. The weight also increases - about 0.23 kg.
Bearings 6201, 6202, 6207 are used extremely rarely in Samsung machines.
If you don’t want to compare the serial number of your existing washing machine with the table, you can take a different route. Disassemble the washing machine, remove the worn bearings and show them to the service center consultant. A specialist can easily measure the ring and select a replacement ring. At the same time, he will help you with choosing a suitable oil seal and other tools, parts and materials necessary for repairing the bearing assembly (marker, sealant, WD-40 cleaner, hexagon, lubricant). The main thing is to look only among original components and check the markings.
Bearing unit design
Incorrectly selected bearings will jeopardize the operation of the washing machine. The bearing assembly “connects” the drum and pulley together, which allows the washing machine motor to accelerate the machine to specified speeds. Therefore, the coherence of the entire mechanism depends on the correct installation of the “rings”.
For most machines from Samsung and other manufacturers, the bearings are mounted in a crosspiece, which in turn is mounted on the back wall of the drum. The knot consists of two rows of “rings”. The first, internal, more powerful due to the increased diameter and thickness, takes on the main load and is located closer to the tank. The second one is several times smaller, located at the end of the shaft and performs an additional function.
Modern Samsung washing machines are equipped with a mono-bearing - a solid ring consisting of two rows of balls.
In some models there is no division into large and small bearings, since mono-bearings are mounted there. These are rings that include two rows of balls at once, so there is no need for a second set. In this case, one two-row element is installed instead of two standard ones.
Types and functions of the oil seal
Repairing a bearing assembly is not complete without replacing the seals. These “rubber bands” protect the bearings from premature wear and lubricant washout. But if the function remains unchanged, then the size and type of the sealing cuff may vary. Nowadays, several types of seals are used in the production of washing machines.
- Single-edged. They only prevent leakage.
- Single-edge with boot. In addition to protection against leakage, they provide isolation from the penetration of dust and other debris.
- V-RING. Oil seals with a V-shaped profile. Due to its unusual shape, it fits tightly to the reflective disk, providing 100% protection from moisture and dust. Installed only on vertical models.
All modern oil seals are equipped with a metal grid - during installation it is important not to damage the reinforcing base, maintaining the original shape of the rubber band.
During installation, the oil seal is placed in a seat on the tank or directly in the crosspiece. The rubber band is lowered with the edge down, due to which a so-called working friction friction pair is formed with the drum shaft. The cuff seals the hole and prevents moisture and dust from damaging the bearings.
