Hello everyone! First post here. I am driven here by my outrage with Samsung washers. But apparently it's not unique to Samsung.
Its a long story of how I ended up with two different makes of Samsung front loading HE washers, but irrelevant. Both have issues with balance, due to the armature corroding. I'm sick of it. It's absolutely mind numbingly inexcusable, if not criminal the way they have promoted these washers over the years with bullet points about the stainless steel drum, long warranty on the drum, direct drive motor, etc. And then to put these sky high price tags on them. The drum will never corrode! It's stainless steel! Hooray! What we aren't telling you, is that what is behind the drum cannot, will not, stand up to chemicals! It will start falling apart, clogging up and ruining your drain pump, stinking up your clothes with crevices and nooks and crannies that hold all sorts of residue. As it falls apart, it will get more and more out of balance, your clothes will take longer to wash, the little shock things will not be able to handle the balance issues, etc. The replacement parts are expensive, and if you aren't doing it yourself, it's financially impractical to have it serviced! I've put 15 years on the "old style" top loader with the agitator in the center, and paid $200-$300 for those, and yet these "HE" front loaders are routinely $800+ and fall apart after a few years. It's criminal.
So I am asking for your advice. Thanks in advance. I really need to go get a new washer this weekend. I have two that I am going to get rid of. I am sick of the problems.
Are ANY high efficiency washers free of this corroding armature and the associated balance problem?
Or do I need to go back to the old style washer?
