Product review (5 stars): Repair Part Easy to Install
Repairing a stalled Samsung washer was easy!
When my Samsung washing machine abruptly stopper I called Sear's. The machine is eight years old and long out of warranty. The guy from Sear's shows up, takes off the back and without as much as a volt meter announces that he'll have to replace the controller, position sensor and the stator. That little job will cost about $800 which is close to the price tag on the current model.
I sent him on his way, got out the volt-ohm meter and determined that the stator was fine but the position sensor had an open circuit.. I ordered the position sensor for $12 or so. Two days later it was here, installed and the Samsung machine back in operation.
For those DIY people the Samsung washer seems to be identical in construction to the current crop of front-loading machines like LG, Whirlpool and others. Very easy to work on.
