@33 seconds'" I am going to show you how to change spider arm assembly, It is an easy job."" 45 minutes full on video. Man, I like this video. I am a technical guy. I know how hard is this. But appreciate this guy's generous effort to make us understand.. Awesome video. Thank you.
Thank you. As many others have said this is the best appliance repair video I have every watch. Just the right level of explanation and just the right pace through every step enabled me to follow along and not have to replace a $700 washer. Also one of the few repair videos that includes not just the steps up through the replacement, but also the re-assembly which was invaluable.
It’s totaled if you have to hire someone to do it. Part is like $100 - $150 alone and then the time. Looks like it can make an interesting DIY repair. How has it held up for you?
My Samsung had this problem after 12 years. Spider looks like crushed gravel!! This video was extremely helpful!
If there is anything we can help you with in the future please let us know.
Looks like this part really ought to be called the “Samsung Sacrifical Anode”
This is literally the most informative and well produced help video I’ve ever watched. Man you didn’t miss a single little detail. I’m VERY confident to tear mine apart now. Thank you

Totally agree, washer is working great. Thank you for putting this video together.
5 wrench repair but I did it thanks to this guy! THANKS! Probably saved $800 on what is clearly a massive (if not intentional) design flaw.
Very very professional engineer very good video 😊😊😊😊😊
Thank you!
Thank you for the video. My dad and I fixed my washer using your instructions. In total it was about 170 in parts, and we replaced the drain pump. That’s still better than the cost of a new one. Here’s to 10 more years of usage 🤞🏼
I bought a spider arm assembly and seal kit did exactly as video showed.. thxs much. Right to the point. Excellent video 👍🏽
An absolutely complete guide of repair, explaining every facet of the job waiting for you and any reassembly techniques that boggle many minds afterwards. A brilliant guide for this particular repair and some minor others not listed if you're a stickler for paying attention at the big picture. great job to the author of this V-DIYer. Thanks & Goodluck!
Excellent video on how to. But for me having a 10 year old washer about halfway through the video, I decided this was way too much work and I would just buy a new one. But a special special. Thanks to this gentleman who did an excellent job. The first comments being easy and inexpensive we’re sort of misleading.
I'm sorry for any confusion regarding this repair. If there is anything we can help you with in the future please let us know.
I have been DIY'ing for years on various projects. This video is very well done - as good as it gets. I purchased my required parts from their website just as a thank you for how much this video helped me get my 5 year old washer working again like new.
I'm glad to hear our video was able to help you out with your repair! Thank you for choosing to purchase your parts from us as well! Hopefully, it will keep working like new.
You guys don't need to go to the purgatory, you are going straight to heaven for this valuable help you are providing to people in the world that need this knowledge.
So much appreciated!!! Thank you so much
My goodness, so much work, but I can't stop watching! Much respect to anyone who does this for a living, especially in confined spaces. I'm sure I would forget half the steps while putting it all back together again and would be done for the day.
Great tutorial!!! Followed it step by step and successfully replaced a bad spider arm. Never thought I would disassemble a washing machine and put it back together :) Thanks!
Outstanding video! I have a similar model, and other than a few hose locations differences, this was spot on! Extremely helpful, step-by-step procedures and tips made this project so much easier. The spider was so bad the spindle literally had separated from the main body. Friggin recycled beer cans!! Thanks again for a great presentation.
My hat off to a real Pro. Such a well organized sequence of actions and detailed procedures that even I was able understand. Thank you so much for sharing your expertise with us. You will be handsomely compensated. Stay blessed my friend.
I followed this video and replaced the spider arm, tub seal, and drain pump on my first washer repair, ever. Kudos to you, sir.
Thank you for taking the time to walk us through this step by step. It saved me so much time and money, thank you!
Amazingly detailed and informative video. Great job!! What I like is that he does not skip any step. It is literally step-by-step. Thank you.
I appreciate how reserved he is. Doesn’t bash the manufacturer for allegedly using inferior metal for the most important piece of the washing machine. You can hear the slight chuckle in his voice tho when he first sees the spider arm lol.
Well instructed video, you should be an educator. I bought the “spider” bracket, the 6 screws, tub seal, front rubber boot and started the project. It took a weekend to complete as i had 2 little helpers taking turns with tools. We went the extra step to wash the drum, the tub, drain pump and tubes and clean all moldy spots before re-assembling. This was a little different model.
So far, a week of continuous use, the machine runs like new, the “moldy” smell is gone, and saved about $800 for a new washer. All for less than $175 cost. Thank you for this great video!!!!
I don't have this particular problem, but did want to offer kudos. That was the clearest instructional video I have ever seen.
This video is awesome! Thanks for taking the time to make it and post it. A local repairman basically recommended I trash my washer because the repair would cost too much. After watching the video and paying around $125 for the spider arm and bolts, my washer runs like new again. It took my brother-in-law and me about 4 hours total to complete the repair. Neither of us had ever dealt with any washer before. I cannot understand why anyone would leave negative feedback. Thanks again!
You're welcome!
That was the most helpful instruction I've had in a long time. Clear, precise, patient. If I need to repair something in the future that I have no idea about, this is the first place I'll look. Great video. Good on ya mate!
Happy to help with your repair!
Thank you so much for a great DIY video to replace a Samsung spider. I just completed changing out the spider on my Samsung washer (WF330ANW XAA). I just completed my spider replacement following your video as it went along. There were some changes, but you help me through two very difficult places (removal of the motor and installation of the door boot spring tie). While I was changing out the spider I included changing out the bearings, bearing seal and tub seal. Total cost $180 and took me about seven hours from start to finish. Contacted three area Samsung repair shops to replace, but couldn't get any of the three to replace the spider. They all advised me to replace the washer. Washer runs quiet with no banging around. Really a great video to work along with. Hopefully I will get another 5 years out of it.
Thank you Matt and Appliance Parts Pros. With the use of your great video,I saved hundreds of dollars on my Wf350 Samsung repair. Had a couple bolts on spider arm that had to be drilled out and a couple drain clamps that had to be replaced . I now have a washer that almost runs like new. It did take me longer than the video. Suggestions: Go ahead and dismantle the washer before ordering parts so that you know what all needs to be replaced. I replaced spider arm and bolts , tub seal, door gasket (which did not come with the right connection for Hose).
Thank you very much for this video. A repairman told me the broken spider arm assembly could not be purchased for my Samsung washer, and to just buy a new one, but I found the part on-line and used your video step by step instructions to repair it myself. Runs just like new again. Saved me over $630. Very professionally done. Thanks again.
I'm glad the video helped you out with your repair!
Thanks Matt, excellent instructions , you didn't miss a step , fixed my washer myself and didn't have to spend 1,300 CDN for a new one. Very satisfying , thanks again .
Thank you for making this video. Everything is well explained and detailed. Replaced the spider arm without a hitch, couldn't have done it without this video. Thanks again!
Glad we could help!
Thank you so much for this video. There were slight variations with my washer which was purchased in 2011, but the spider was indeed corroded and busted in 3 pieces. I purchased the replacement part (wasn’t available on your website) and followed your instructions to re-assemble. Washing machine works perfectly now. When removing the first bolt with the 19mm socket, it broke. If this happens to you, the new spider may not come with the bolt. If it doesn’t, its an M12 x 1.75. Once again, thank you. Accounting for the $170 cost for the part and the 6 bolts, you saved me at least $500 because a new dryer would cost me around $700.
Is there an aftermarket manufacturer that makes a product that solves the corrosion issue? Either a full stainless spider, or some gasketing between the aluminum and stainless, or some other metal that won't be chemically attacked by the stainless steel?
I still don't understand how Samsung can legitimately sell replacement aluminum spiders that will immediately restart the anode/cathode corrosion process when the new spider is installed against the stainless steel.
???
@@allanhundeby1675 I’m not sure but if a part like what you describe exists, it would be very expensive to mass produce and include in the washing machine. I did the repair and the washing is still going strong. If the new spider that I purchased and installed years ago ever breaks, then it’s just time to purchase a new washing machine. Good luck.
Just have to THANK YOU for this incredible tutorial! Our washer konked out on us but thankfully we found your video and took it apart. My dad and I followed the video step by step and managed to find all the necessary replacement parts (including the wave washer on your website) and ordered them online. In a few days, we will begin putting it back together! Can't wait to get our machine back up and running!!! We couldn't have done it without you, and we saved a ton of money on replacing our washer! Thank you!
You're welcome! We're glad the video and the parts on our website are able to help you get your washer working again.
This video and the parts that I ordered from Appliance Parts Pros saved me hundreds of dollars on a new washer. The parts showed up in 2 days and were an exact match for my Samsung front loader. Highly recommend them!!
Thank you so much for the extremely detailed takedown and rebuild. Saved me over 2K on a new set.
Thank you.
Clear, precise step by step process outlining parts to order, taking apart the tub, replacing the spider arm assembly, and putting the washer back together. My two biggest challenges: 1) one of the spider arm assembly bolts rounded off and I had a very difficult time getting it off -- finally had to drill it out; 2) for some reason putting the outer clamp on the door seal was tough for me -- I think that I watched that part of the video at least ten times before getting it right. My washer is now back in operation again. THANKS!
One of the best DIY videos I've seen! My unit was slightly different, but the major components and connections were similar enough. Ordered the parts yesterday from your site.
That's great, Darren! Glad the video was able to help you out. Once you get the part and start the repair, let us know if you need anymore help with the repair.
Great video, well explained and easy to understand. And you even show how to reassemble it,Just saved a lot of money. It's running like new. Thank you.
Great video. I did this job in ~5 hrs. My Samsung was a bit different. Spider turned out to be just smelly and a bit corroded but I changed it anyway. I did use etching primer and painted it before putting it in. Glad I bought the screws as four stripped off when removing the old spider.
Couldn't and wouldn't have done this job without this video. Especially like that you took the time to show the reassembly rather than just saying it's the reverse.
Thanks!
Glad we could help you, Stephen!
What paint did you use on your spider?
AppliancePartsPros I have an issue with mine and it's not the spider
Austin Hennington - It could be on the back of the drum.
bsdguy what do you mean?
After receiving a call from my wife stating that the washer was smoking, I came to this video. You guys did a great job with explaining how to disassemble repair and reassemble my washer. Even though it wasn’t the same model it was pretty close. Thanks for the help and keep up the great work.
Smoking has been proven to be bad for your health.
This video is of great value, I am grateful to the producers for this service...
I took mine apart one day and reassembled everything the next. I also took time to thoroughly clean everything since I had it apart.
Awesome and concise video. Ours slightly different as we have a washer dryer combo but the principles are the same. Made me look like a pro too. Wife is very impressed with me and I saved lots of money. Well done. Thank you.
Perfect video instructions. My model had a few differences in hoses and locations... But this video was a 90+% match. Thank you for creating it. $90 dollars in parts.... hopefully it lasts another 10 years.
This is better than college education! Wow! If you hate office job, then become a technician fixing appliances, this is the video that will teach you, what a detailed presentation, excellent quality and absolutely no obstructed view. Thanks for a free education.
This video was great from start to finish, it gave you all the steps from the beginning to the end. Thank you so much for your help.
You're very welcome!
EXTREMELY well laid out repair video.
this video was amazing. thank you so much. i successfully executed this very repair on my own samsung steam washer. this was absolutely invaluable in my repair.
These video Instructions we're amazing from start to finish! Thank you so much for such clear and concise Instructions! My repair was easy and quick, I did it in 4-5 hours!
You're welcome!
Add me to the pile of glowing reviews. Concise how-to that will get you through your repair job even if your model slightly differs from the one shown. It got me through my repair job! Can't recommend these guys enough.
Thanks for the detailed step by step instructions.. My washer had the same issue and I followed this video and was able to fix it on my own. Order the spider arm from this company was super easy too.
I want to thank the good people @AppliancePartsPros for making this video and having a well-done parts ordering website so I could validate that I was getting the correct parts to repair my Samsung Washer. You guys saved me from having to buy a new machine or pay an arm and a leg to get it repaired. The repair was involved but not difficult (other than some rusted components that required a little "percussive maintenance" ) thanks to your excellent and thorough video. Even though my machine was a little different that than one pictured, all the major steps were the same and the washer is working like a champ again. Shame on Samsung for cheaping out on the spider arm part; if it was made of stainless instead of cast aluminum, the washer wouldn't have failed in the first place! But you guys ROCK!!
That's awesome, Chris! We're so glad that we could help!
Just wanted to say thanks for the great video. I replaced the spider arm on my Kenmore Model 592-49057 and this video was super helpful. I highly recommend purchasing 6 new bolts for the spider arm assembly. In my experience, only 1 bolt was removed with minimal damage; 4 bolt heads snapped off and the head stripped on last one and I had to drill it out.
Glad we can help! And that's a good point about the bolts!
You display excellent workmanship. It's a joy to watch and listen. Would that every 'how to' video on CZcams lived up to such high standards. Thanks so much. You've earned all the gratitude coming your way.
This video was spot on. Thank you for taking the time to create such a detailed breakdown and descriptive video to help us all.
Thank you for this video! I ordered the parts from your website and fixed my samsung washer. It's a shame they used a spider arm that would inevitably disintegrate, but maybe I'll get a few more years out of it now. Thanks again.
Thank you for this video! I would have had to spend a whole lot more on a new washer! I'm a 30 some year female that is now proud of herself for successfully changing out the spider flange on her own...well mostly, my bf helped with the lifting of the drum in and out and hooking up the springs, but everything else I was able to do on my own. They said this part had been discontinued but luckily I was able tp find it online through Sears. I'm proud of myself for doing this but I definitely couldn't have done it without this video! Thank you!
This is an excellent video. I was able to replace the spider arm on my Samsung washer.. The tech in the video is extremely good at explaining the process. His language is perfectly detailed and precise.
I discovered this amazing video too late. I had to figure out how to take apart the washing machine myself. Too many pieces and difficult to remember the process.
My intention was to disassemble as little as possible, but every time I removed a piece, I had to remove another. However, I only removed the front tube, without removing the rear tube, I think is better that way.
Thanks to this video, it is now easier to assemble, it would have been very difficult for me to remember how to assemble the washing machine again. Thank you.
You're very welcome. Let us know if there's anything else we can assist with.
Thank yiu SO much for this video. As I live in Canada, it was not feasible to purchase the part from you. I do want to express my appreciation for your excellent DIY. Very well narrated and filmed. Thanks again!
I apologize that we don't currently ship to Canada, but I'm glad we could help you with your repair!
Informative video after this repair you have almost fully taken the entire washer apart
Very detailed and clear explanation of each step - video is much appreciated! Make sure you have enough room around the washer to work on (don't disassemble in a small laundry room). You will have many bulky parts to take off.
Glad the video helped you out!
I don't know why so many thumbs down on this video.
He's a hard worker and knows what hes doing, And he explained it step by step.
Was it the cargo shorts? The dudes haircut?
I give the video 👍 👍 UP!
Super vidéo :) Nous avons sauver plusieurs centaines de dollars. Explication et démontration juste et bien détaillée étape par étape. Traval qui se fait bien avec un peu de patience. Cela semble impressionnant au début mais en suivant bien le vidéo cela se réalise très bien et assez facilement. Quelques petits détail qui n'était pas comme démontrer. EX: lors du retrait de la porte frontale la notre était fixé par 2 vis en dessous. Il faut avoir les bons outils et idéalement s'installer dans une pièce assez grande cela aide beaucoup pour le démontage et l'assemblage après le changement du spier arm. Merci encore bravo pour votre vidéo qui est sans contre dit parfait.
Je vous en prie! Heureux que vous ayez pu résoudre votre problème ! Si nous pouvons vous aider pour quoi que ce soit à l'avenir, veuillez nous le faire savoir.
so I just fished fixing my washer. you folks saved me a ton of money. that you so much. really, step by step, so easy thank you again
Glad the video helped you get the washer fixed!
Thanks for the awesome video! I ordered the parts from you guys and just followed the video. Very detailed!
I have a Samsung Model WF218ANS/XAC which was making a lot of clunking noise during spin, it is almost similar to this unit on your step-by-step DIY which helped me a lot to disassemble the unit and turned out that the Spider alm was totally corroded with calcium and built up then caused the spider to cut in 3 pieces, I purchased a spider arm part# DC97-14875B for CAN$168.00 and followed your video, managed to put it all together in 3 hours(cleaning all the parts and wash them off). it is working now as new as it gets! thank you for your great video. I was going to order your parts but unfortunately they do not ship them to Canada but I source a supplier in my town who has the parts.
Thanks again and keep up with the good work.
Super helpful, easy to understand video and comments, I just ordered my Flange Shaft and rear tub seal from you guys . Thanks
Great video I can’t believe you literally took. It all apart
This was absolutely helpful. My model washer was slightly different than this one but was easy to figure out. Thanks so much for sharing this
This guy did an amazing job. Wow. Very easygoing calming attitude. I just finished mine now, seems to be working fine....thanks so mucn
Glad you were able to complete your repair. Glad we were able to help you out. If there is anything we can help you with in the future please let us know.
Great video, I wasn't sure I wanted top go through with this but I did it anyway. Only took about 2 hours and now its working like a dream!
Glad we could help!
Very impressive video. I wanted to clean the outside of the drum ( there seems to be tons of crap built up there) and your video kind of convince me to buy a new washing machine :) thank you
Thank you!!!! Watching our washing machine work again because of you!
Wow, thanks a million for these detailed instructions!!
You're welcome!
Fantastic video. Replaced my spider arm with zero issues. You guys are awesome!!
Glad you were able to complete your repair. If there is anything we can help you with in the future please let us know.
Thank you for best instructional video. It saves me labors (parts costs only $111.00).
If only that was made of stainless steel. When i was a young un everything had... Made With Pride. Guaranteed for life
Nothing anymore is made with pride . Everything is made with the cheapest material going and it will literally last for about 3 years if bought brand new .
they really don't even need to change it to stainless steel, just add a powder coat/paint/sealant (whatever is cheaper I guess lol) on the aluminum in the manufacturing process to keep it out of direct contact of water and steel. It shouldn't affect the motor/balance spec as the added weight of paint or other sealant would be negligible. A fair compromise understanding they'd have to draw up a bunch of new contracts with part manufacturers (idk if they manufacture their own) and incorporate that change to the assembly facility. A pipedream of a thought, though lol
@@clv603 a coating will do nothing to improve these. The issue they have is bending causing oscillation of the spin basket. They are cheaply made with a rigid outer shell and a softer filler metal. If a company makes TVs don’t buy their appliances, and you will be fine.
@@josephdow1521 I've researched dozens of DIY repairs for this part specifically. Not one have I seen "bent." Corrosion is the underlying reason for failure (as noted in the video). Preventing the corrosion prevents the underlying cause for failure.
@@clv603 I’ve seen many bent and broken spider arms. This is what I do for a living. I can assure you your time and money are better spent replacing these disposable appliances.
Excellent instructions! I fixed my Samsung washer . I couldn't find a new washer spider arm assembly in the USA though. I had to buy it from Canada.
after viewing your video, it gave me the confidence to tackle my washer job (pump replacement), man you made it so easy, 😀thanks a million
Yes, great communication and what a great mechanic. I’m sure he is invaluable to whomever he works for!
Next time this breaks I'm not even bothering to repair it. Even with this excellent video the time sink of this repair, along with additional damaged compnants, is ridiculous.
Excellent video and I ordered my part from them. Replacement of spider 🕷 arm, 2 spider 🕷 arm bolts. Tub seal and bottom shaft seal. I cleaned the inner and other tub and all the drain lines to get pieces of spider 🕷 arm out and all other grim. To bad the material that the spider 🕷 arm wasn't a higher grade. When it goes again might have a machine shop fabricate one.
Very helpful instructions! Our WF209 model had a few minor differences but without this video it would have been very hard to replace the spider assembly. Now our machine is working again!
Glad you were able to get your machine working again! If there is anything we can help you with in the future please let us know.
I enjoyed your presentation, and the complete reassembly instead of saying, installation is simply the reverse of disassembly.
Fantastic, detailed instruction. Great video!
Great job! Great video! Great explanation! Thanks for the clear instructions and details! Ended up changing the arm, 6 bolts (man 3 stripped), gasket, front diafragm and water guide... (total 420$ canadian). Hope it will last a couple of years now lol...
Superbly explained...professionalism
jean-noel
Merci pour cet excellent video.Grace a vous j'ai pu redonner vie a ma laveuse.Les explications précises m'ont permis de mener a bien ce grand défi en ce qui me concerne J'encourage tout le monde a faire cette réparation. Encore une fois thank you so much
Thank you! Take it for a spin, lol...you have helped us twice now with washer repair!! Reassembly is key!
this is an amazing video showing how to tear these Samsung things apart and get to the inner drum for bearing or spider replacement!! great job guys. I'll be sure to buy all my parts from you so you continue to make such great videos!
Thanks for your feedback! I'm so glad to hear that the video was helpful! :)
Thank you. With your video I was able to replace my spider arm easily.
Thank you.This is the best video on repair i came across. 2 thumbs up.
This video is underrated!!!
I appreciated your time the explanation was excellent, thank you for you patient to show entire process ❤
You're welcome! Good luck with your repair and let us know how it goes!
My washer is needing that assembly changed out as well. I was thinking about changing it out myself, but after washing your video - "I don't think so". You literally had to disassemble the washer in order to change out that one part. There are too many parts for me to remember where they all go, so I'll leave that to the pros. Thanks for the video, you saved me a lot of time and frustrations to say the least.
Great teacher, very easy to understand. Than you very much.
Oh, I see. When they’re building a washer there’s a spider arm assembly hanging in mid air, then the rest of the machine is built around it. Thanks for clearing that up!
cracked me up, this is great, exactly how I imagined it too.
Most informative.. fixed mine too. Thanks!
Excellent Video thank you! ordering my parts now.
Thanks for your feedback!
