My washing machine leaks. I suspect that the metal has corroded where the water enters the soap dispenser and it leaks down the inside front shell, and has rusted it from the inside. I think the leak happens every time the water is flowing into the the dispenser. The machine still works but I have to put a towel down on the left side of it or there's a puddle in my laundry room. Definitely inferior metal.

Biologically induced intergranular corrosion can be an issue in some washing machines suffering from heavy deposits of biofilm. Can be prevented by maintaining the machine properly. eg leave the door open between washes to help it dry, avoid cold washes, do occasional 60°C+ washes (you may need to select a higher temperature on some machines to actually reach 60°C), use a powder detergent or stain remover containing oxygen bleach plus activator (sodium percarbonate, plus TAED, or NOBS), or a laundry sanitiser .

OK...I immediately knew when I saw the inner tub caked with funk that this machine was abused... when I say abused I'm talking they probably used cold water only...overloaded the machine, used too little or too much soap, probably didn't leave the door open to dry out...My Duet front load washer from 2005 has an aluminum spider and it's approaching 19 years old.... I can't say 100% but I'm willing to bet this happened because of user error... Just don't overload them, use occasionally hot water washes and leave the door slightly opened...I've never had mold or bad smells and I think this has kept my spider from deteriorating.

Lol the thing with people nowadays is that they would rather buy a new machine rather than maintaining their current ones. Buy a German car and do toyota corolla level of maintenances. That is this society. People dont even read the manuals on these things. It tells you how to care for them. Run "Pure Cycle" once a month.. its a self cleaner... you know how many washers ive seen where people are too lazy or too uneducated to use a self washing option... crazy

We bought a Samsung front loading washing machine in 2009 when we moved into our new house. We were a family of 5 (three sons) with a sixth person, my sister-in-law, living with us to make 6 people. Seven years later, in 2016, I replaced this part as it had disintegrated. The job wasn't fun, but with a few hand tools and KZread I was able to replace it myself. This last year I had to replace it again which means that the part replaced in 2016 failed in about the same 7 year period. Some might consider this horrible, however, this is the ONLY problem that we've had with this washer, so we are not at all dissatisfied with it given the amount of use it gets. I should also point out that we have a well, with pretty hard water. Hope someone finds this helpful.

We had the Samsung spider go bad on one of our front loaders. It ran for 8 or 10 years before failing and that was likely the original spider since we bought the set used. If your washing machine starts to make more noise and a hard time to spin during the cycle it can be the spider going bad. It's cheaper to change it out when it starts to go bad than to wait till it falls apart. Ours broke the top of the tub encloser and gasket so we had to buy those part as well. It cost about $350 for parts - tub encloser, spider, and door gasket. Way cheaper than buying another set even used. We used youtube instruction videos to make the repair. It really wasn't hard. I've read this is common with pretty much all front loaders. Even so, we prefer the front load machines so we will just keep fixing them.

Exact same thing happened to my Kenmore He3t which we bought in 2003. So it lasted 19 years before the bracket finally fell apart. Only problem is, machine's so old it's almost impossible to find the bracket for this specific model. If it would have broken down say 10 years ago we'd probably be in luck. Some owners have resorted to making and welding their own steel bracket.

I replaced the said 3 parts and now it runs again like new. The shock absorbers take a beating and have a limited service life. If your machine breaks down because of run down shock absorbers does not mean planned obsolescence.
