Product review (1 stars): Bad engineering in initial design and material selection and specification, and still no improvement in the replacement part.
After years of suffering corrosion with basic laundry soap, Samsung STILL has not improved the product to have some coating applied to it to protect the spider from corroding again. I had to paint mine with a cooking grill paint but who knows how soon I will be dismantling my whole machine again to replace this again? Bad tub design for the washing machine and bad engineering for the selection of material to make this part with since ti simply turns to dust if the wrong detergent is used. (nothing to do with HE deterdent or not).
Giving 1 star mainly for initial and continued bad product engineering. the part itself is exactly as they first made it and made very well as far as functionality when new is concerned. I would like to see a class action suit against samsung and see a total recall of all washers ever made with this part and compensation for having to replace premature failure of this critical part.
