The bearing was a tough choice. Even though I had a new bearing, it was not an original. The original has been working fine, and had no play. Hopefully it holds up.

Happy to hear that! Not the easiest repair, but a very satisfying one. The amount of money you can save is worth the effort. Appreciate the comment, Thanks David

For some

From the factory it had the o ring there. Maybe so the seal never touches the base of the metal spindle. I’m really not sure.

@@CarlosPadillaCentex Thanks for return

It takes time for sure. The cost of the replacement part makes this repair worth it if successful. If you find that the drum is unrepairable when you get to it, the machine will be disassembled for easy transport or recycling. You can always return the unused spider arm.

Looks like a hard part to find. See if this is the right part number. www.partselect.com/PS4221666-Samsung-DC97-16509B-Assembly-FLANGE-SHAFT-PURPLE.htm?SourceCode=1&SearchTerm=WF520ABP&ModelNum=WF520ABP

That's it. Really appreciate your help and video. Have ordered the Spider Arm. With that number, I was able to find the bearings as well. The unit is 13 years old and figured since I had it apart would replace them also. Will be watching your great video as I replace the parts. Thanks for making it.

@@DavidWolf-o9g That’s good news! Hope the parts come in soon, and everything goes smoothly.

Thank you. Really like sharing what I’m seeing out there. Hope you enjoyed it!

This video has more detail of the setup. ua-cam.com/video/7GLcMKA_0hQ/v-deo.htmlsi=1lcIYix6TZBMORLN The mount is Cornfield Fishing double folding mount with bridge. The pole is Seelite Seefish 2.0. Thanks for watching

For sure, try to keep the bearings protected. I did start getting a little careless toward the end of the project. Thanks for sharing

It is also best to avoid getting penetrating oil into a bearing if you intend to reuse it. Personally, given the hassle of tearing apart and reassembling the machine, I would replace the bearings even if they are it good order, premium quality bearings are cheap and standard parts from most any bearing supplier. And I would absolutely replace the shaft water seal, they wear and will eventually leak letting water get to the bearings, which is usually what destroys them. The shaft seal should be packed with waterproof grease (able to withstand 100C+ hot water and detergent) between the two lips on it, it may be supplied that way, ideally the same waterproof grease should be used on the shaft. I used a good quality waterproof silicone grease on mine, but most manufacturers have their own recommended product.

Good point. Self cleaning should help with build up. The shocks, pump, and drain hose can also be replaced when it’s apart. Probably another $60. Thanks!

That sounds like a deal. Hope your repair goes smoothly!

@@CarlosPadillaCentex Thank You Sir... I'm under no time constraints, as my LG works like a champ... So I just do a little each evening after work...

It’s picking up slowly! I appreciate the support. Thanks bro!

Hey!! They were hungry. Thanks for watching Dom.

Nice! Constant North winds most likely mixed things up again. Hopefully they start schooling up soon!

It’s been hard to trick those fish to bite some plastic lately👍🏽

Awesome, that end of the lake looks really fishy. Hopefully the bigs show up!

Thanks for stopping by, have a great weekend!

It’s truly the heart of the machine. The issue took my washer 7 years to show up the first time. I don’t think the manufacturer knew it was a weak spot. Only time would show this type of corrosion. Thank you!

@@CarlosPadillaCentex I think you are to naive about the problem. Many many brands have this problem. Please search for "psa_front_load_washing_machine_shaft_spider" a thread that mirrors my mind a bit. Take care !

We've been using front loaders will aluminium alloy spiders since at least the 70s here in the UK, I believe spider failure has become a more common issue along with smelly machines due to the increasing trend of low temperature washing and the ever increasing popularity of liquid detergents. It used to be common to do regular 60°C and 90°C washes and use powder detergents which helps to keep the machine clean and free of bacteria biofilm which causes the corrosion - it is primarily crevice corrosion (oxygen concentration cell corrosion). Our powder detergents also nearly all contain sodium percarbonate (and many contain TAED as well) which kills bacteria. I use powder detergent, descale my machine once a year and leave the door and draw open between washes, the spider was clean and absolutely fine after 10 years of use when I changed the bearings and is still going strong 5 years later. Using stainless steel would add to the cost, and appliance manufacturers are always trying to make them cheaper to produce. Even Miele swapped from pressed stainless steel spiders to aluminium alloy for a while, but had too many fail.

Agreed that it seems like a huge job. It’s really just a lot of smaller steps combined into one. On this type of project DIY would be best. For a paying customer it may not be worth it. Thanks

@@DravenThegloriouscat Sure, it's as deep into the washer as you can go... But if one is mechanically inclined, AND one would rather spend $150 or less rather than $1200-$1500, than one should take the DIY route... Hell, it's just another good puzzle for me, whereas others would be puzzled BY it... Some CAN, and some CAN'T... That's what makes the World go 'round...

The surface water temp here in Texas is 89-90. That has a lot to with it. Then the sun is penetrating the water, it let’s you run a very high gain in Summer. I’m still running a really old software, and I’m not updating anymore. ua-cam.com/video/9JGP0LHou2k/v-deo.htmlsi=ZE5CqXHOlzlwgQ0F

@@CarlosPadillaCentex I live in Austin mostly fish Granger

@@sergiojho Nice! From what I hear that is a fun lake. It seems pretty shallow though. Hopefully I can make that trip soon, and try not to get skunked. Any tips?

@@CarlosPadillaCentex it’s a Great Lake for crappie fishing and there is tons of brush piles and timber. I usually land at Wilson H Fox park and the right hand shore all the way to the dam and then turn left and hit all the dam

😊👍🏽

Man that’s awesome! 14 inchers are fun to catch. Glad you got them locked in, hope you stay on them. Thanks for the offer too!

I think running more gain should help. I run noise reject on high, tvg off, ghost tree off, and 76% gain if the sun is out. Make sure your LS pole is as plumb as you can get it, and the transducer is on a zero degree mount. Gain is your friend.

@@CarlosPadillaCentex Thank you for the reply ! I know the question could have alot area to cover I will get the zero degree mount and go for there ..Keep up the good work enjoy your Content.

@@jeffhawkins900 Awesome! That mount makes a world of difference. Hope you get it dialed in. Thank you!

Yes sir! Fishing “SNAG CITY” is what it took. Love the father son vids!

The minnow bite was good. That’s something I need to try more, some hand ties. Glad you had some luck and thank you!

@@CarlosPadillaCentex sure thing brother! If a may, I get mines from this Camo’s Custom Hand Ties. I’ve put a limit on the boat with a single hand tie before. Specially during the Fall bite.

Nice! I hope we have a good late Summer and Fall bite. Thanks for the recommendation. Might have to try them out.

It’s either tear it down all the way and get it done, or buy a new machine. Great to hear you went the repair route! Hope it helped!

CenTex Sportsman Club. Got hit really hard by tornados and hail.

Nice! The powder coat should help for sure. The rest of the machine seems really well designed. I’m thinking it was one of those things that takes a few years to show itself.

Not a bad idea! Maybe powder coat. I planned on changing the bearing and seal, but decided used oem might be a better option. Thanks!

I painted with an insulated paint to prevent the galvanic corrosion with the SS. Only lasted 5 years. Replacing it again

Was happy to see all those baby fish! Looks like the population is doing good. Thanks!

Nice! The acrylic was more durable than I thought it would be. What surprised me is how it can be sanded to get the curves and tight fitment. Hope you have a smooth install.

I don’t like to charge anyone, just sharing how I did it. Thanks!

Was going for the spider arm!

Thanks for the tip! Completely different lake from last year. Caught a few baby crappie at the bridge in a cast net. Hopefully the parents are around.

@@CarlosPadillaCentex I think it will get better as the weeks go by.,,, all of the fresh,oxygenated water that came in by the millions of gallons is just what we needed. on good years Belton can be very generous...

Thanks! For sure not a pro, but gotta keep things working without paying that you need a new system tax.

It’s been holding up for a while now. Electronics on boats can be a headache. Thanks!

Cannon Dual Axis, on 18” Cannon track system. I think it’s 6 notches from horizontal to vertical, and 20 notches in 360.

Yes sir Stephan! Great lake levels are back to normal. More options, hopefully that’s a good thing. The Drum and Bluegill bite is really good, been keeping some also.

Yeah it definitely helps. Really helps with finding brush piles before I drive over them with side imaging too. Thanks

You must not have one.

Sounds good! Mid day was slow for me. After the 20 foot water level change, I’ll have to relearn the lake.

Very Tough!! I think minnows would have been decent. I’ll try early morning for more information.

@@CarlosPadillaCentex I haven't even been going after crappie here in NM. Been chasing white bass, stripers and walleye.

That sounds like fun! These crappie are being crappie, very picky

Hope it helps! My dad is an HVAC guy, I’m still learning.

Gotta do it to keep it cold on these 100+ degree days! Thanks!
