How many bearings are there in a Samsung washing machine?
When you decide to repair your “home assistant” with your own hands, be sure to figure out what spare parts will be needed during the repair. It is often unclear to users how many bearings are in a Samsung washing machine and what size components to buy for a specific model. We'll tell you how to choose the right parts.
What parts are needed and in what quantity?
People who have never repaired washing machines do not even know how the bearing assembly of the machine works. Washing machines Samsung equipped with two bearings and one oil seal. Stores usually sell a ready-made repair kit, which includes the rings themselves, sealing rubber and lubricant.
The repair kit is selected for a specific Samsung SMA model.
Why is it so important to focus on a specific model? Visually similar machines with the same body dimensions and similar capacity are often equipped with different bearings. Even if the rings are the same, the seal size may be different. Sometimes the diameter of the seal is 1-2 millimeters smaller, but this deviation will be significant.
In order to generally minimize the likelihood of errors when selecting components, you can first disassemble the washing machine, dismantle the old elements, and only then buy or order new ones. There are markings on the bearings and oil seal - based on them, choosing similar spare parts will be as easy as shelling pears.
Types of bearings and seals
All Samsung front-type washing machines have a pair of bearings. The diameter of the rings is different, the outer one is larger, the inner one is smaller. Let's figure out which components are suitable for certain Samsung models.
Most models are equipped with bearings 203 and 204, oil seal 25x50.55x10/12.These are the washing machines:
Samsung S803J;
Samsung S 821;
Samsung S832;
Samsung S 852;
Samsung S1005J;
Samsung S 1021;
Samsung S 1043;
Samsung WF F861;
Samsung WF 6458N7W;
Samsung S815J;
Samsung S813J;
Samsung R833;
Samsung P843GW;
Samsung P843 GWIYLP;
Samsung R1031 GWS1U\ YLW;
Samsung WF 6520 S7W;
Samsung WF6522S6V;
Samsung WF 6458 N7W;
Samsung WF 7522 SUV;
Samsung WF 7520 N1B;
Samsung WF 8590 NFW;
Samsung P 1091;
Samsung WF 7522S8R.
The following Samsung models are also equipped with bearings 203-204 and an oil seal 25x50.55x10/12. However, a seal with dimensions of 25x50.55x7 is also acceptable for them. These are the washing machines:
Samsung S621;
Samsung P805 J;
Samsung S801;
Samsung S823;
Samsung P8091;
Samsung P8021;
Samsung P6091;
Samsung 1200F.
The brand's line includes washing machines equipped with bearings 205-206 and a seal 44.7x65.55x10/12. These are the models:
Samsung SWF-P10;
Samsung SWF-P10 IW/YLW;
Samsung SWF-P8IW.
If the washing machines are equipped with the same bearings, this does not mean that the seals will be identical. For example, the same rings 205-206, but a rubber seal 35x65.55x10/12 are required for the following models:
Samsung WF-B1061;
Samsung P1043GW/YLP.
Select the repair kit carefully - Samsung washing machines with the same bearings may require different seals.
Also in the line there are single configuration options. We are talking about models:
Samsung R1031 with bearings 205-206 and oil seal 35x75.55x10/12;
Samsung WF-R105AV with rings 305-306 and seal 35x75.5x10/12;
Samsung P1291 with bearings 205-206 and gasket 35x65x10/12 or 35x65x10.
Each bearing and seal is marked.Therefore, even if there is no information about your Samsung model on the Internet, there is no need to worry. Then you will have to buy new components after disassembling the SMA and dismantling the old elements. This will allow you not to make a mistake in your choice.
If spare parts are not purchased as a repair kit, but separately, do not forget to buy special grease for bearings. The substance will prevent moisture from getting inside the assembly, due to which the rings will last longer. There is also no point in changing the bearings and leaving the old seal - water will flow inside and ruin the elements. A new sealing gasket must be installed.
Buy parts correctly
It’s better not to try to reduce the cost of repairing a Samsung washing machine. The location of the bearings causes certain difficulties. The rings are “hidden” inside the tank, and getting to them is quite difficult; you have to almost completely disassemble the washing machine. If you install cheap spare parts, you need to understand that the replacement will have to be repeated in a couple of years.
When choosing replacement parts, you don’t need to chase the lowest price. The bearing assembly experiences a considerable load, so all elements must be of high quality. “Low-grade” analogues from the Middle Kingdom will not last long, and labor-intensive repairs will have to be repeated.
It is better to order original components for Samsung through the official website than to purchase cheap analogues.
Samsung washing machines are common in the Russian Federation, so there are usually no difficulties with selecting and purchasing components. The average cost of a quality repair kit is $15. This is quite acceptable, especially if the repairs are done on your own.
If you have difficulty selecting components, you can consult with Samsung service center specialists.Typically this information is provided free of charge. You can also ask a question to the manager when ordering spare parts from the brand’s official website.
When you decide to repair your “home assistant” with your own hands, be sure to figure out what spare parts will be needed during the repair.
