In this article we will tell you why you need crosspiece for a Samsung washing machine, Bosch et al., What is its meaning and how it works. It will also be described below how to repair the cross if something happens.
General information
Modern washing machines from companies such as Samsung, Bosch, Indesit, LG are very popular in Russia and the CIS countries because of the quality and manufacturability, as well as ease of washing. But more and more often the question arises that the more expensive the car, the more expensive its maintenance and repair. This is especially true for the Indesit and Bosh brands, since for many years they have shown themselves the best, which means that their equipment is naturally not cheap.
One of the most important parts of any washing machine is the drum. After all, it is there that the washing takes place - the process for which this machine was created. The rotation of the drum is carried out by a bearing assembly, which, in turn, is attached to the crosspiece. The drum itself rests on it. A malfunction of the crosspiece can lead to sad consequences, depending on the damage to the latter. Most often, the crosspiece breaks due to high loads, and this entails a number of other breakdowns, because an automatic washing machine is a complex mechanism that includes not only parts and mechanisms, but also an electronic component. Also, a malfunction can occur when oil seals and bearings are worn, which are either poorly lubricated or made of soft and brittle material.
In order to avoid damage to the crosspiece, you must carefully listen to the sounds that the drum makes. Grinding, knocking, rustling of surfaces indicates that most likely the bearings have become unusable or the crosspiece itself has a deflection. If you hear similar or extraneous sounds coming from the drum, you should immediately stop the washing machine and contact a specialist. The crosspiece itself is inexpensive, and it is in abundance in warehouses, but dismantling and repairing the drum is a painstaking and expensive job. Also, if you have sufficient experience and the necessary knowledge, you can fix the car yourself.
Washing machine spider Samsung does not differ much from the crosspieces of machines from LG, Bosch, Indesit and other popular manufacturers. There is a fundamental difference in the drums and their orientation relative to the surface, they are horizontal and vertical. But vertical ones are more popular, so we will talk about them.

Repair of the cross of the Samsung washing machine
In most cases, the repair of the crosspiece consists in replacing the latter, because it is made of metal that cannot be welded or flattened. Therefore, it is replaced. It will be cheaper, while a new part will be in the car, and not a fixed old one, which after a while will become unusable again.
In order for the cross for the Samsung washing machine to fit your model, you need to select the part you need, for this contact the service center of the brand (in our case, Samsung) or a specialized store.The main factor of replacement should be that the part must be of the same company and for the same model of the washing machine.
If the problem is not in the crosspiece itself, but in the "flying" bearings or seals, which greatly simplifies the task. This applies to Bosch and Indesit washing machines. Most often, it is not the drum spider that breaks, but the secondary parts. Naturally, the details must be original, because the manufacturer does not accept any fault for damage otherwise.
Replacing the cross of the Samsung washing machine
The details of the crosses, like the crosses themselves from different manufacturers, have a different look, but in essence and application are the same. Replacing the cross of the Samsung washing machine is as follows:
- old, faulty bearings and seals on the shaft are dismantled;
- next is the installation of new oil seals;
- after the oil seals, new bearings are installed and pressed.
At first glance, this process may seem simple, but for those who have no experience, it will be very difficult, especially if non-original parts are used, because you will have to adjust the bearings for cuts and holes. Therefore, it is advised to seek help from a specialist.
