    As I repair these machines I can say that they are not that bad.

    There was a time not long ago when the industry standard life for an autowasher was 7 years with reasonable family use……..

    And as I repaired a 24 year old Hotpoint 18370 on Monday. With only a small amount of good luck it is good for another 3 to 5 years.

    Re: Samsung washing machines

    My main experience with Samsung washers is the P1203J 1200 rpm model. This is one of the newest models, fully electronic. I’ve worked on at least 10 of these machines, and there is a very consistent pattern in the problems they develop. The plastic drum breaks around the bearings so that the internal drum becomes loose. The interesting thing I’ve discovered is that the drum on the 1200 rpm models is rated for only 1000 rpm. Also, the concrete block on top of the drum often splits in half. This is by no means a very quiet machine on spin, could be bad suspension along with poor quality of the concrete that causes the block to break.

    Overall, I would say that the quality of Samsung washers is extremely poor, and I wouldn’t trust them to last more than two years of light to moderate use. I would stick to their other products like DVD players and cellphones lol.

    The clue is in the name after all SAMSUNG (i.e. noun/past tense).

    Sam did in fact sing (not very well though) and he’s dead now :rotfl:
