Important Inspection Note
A damaged drum spider is often accompanied by worn bearings, a leaking drum seal, shaft corrosion or damage to the inner-drum mounting points. Inspect the complete drum assembly before fitting the replacement spider.
Check the shaft bearing surfaces for scoring, corrosion and excessive wear. Installing a damaged shaft into new bearings and a new seal may cause noise or water leakage shortly after the repair.
Package Note
This product is the drum spider and shaft assembly only unless specifically stated otherwise. Bearings, drum seal, pulley, retaining bolt, mounting bolts, inner drum and outer tub are not included.
Important Fitment Note
Before ordering, confirm the complete DC97-15963B reference and compare the spider-arm shape, drum mounting-hole pattern, shaft length, shaft diameter, bearing surfaces, seal surface, pulley mounting and overall dimensions with the original component.
Samsung washing machines with similar model numbers may use different drum spiders according to the production version. Always check the complete appliance model and suffix shown on the rating label.
Clean the inner-drum mounting surface thoroughly and tighten all spider mounting bolts evenly. Damaged, corroded or loose mounting hardware should be replaced.
Replacing a drum spider requires substantial disassembly of the washing machine. Installation should be performed by a suitably experienced appliance technician.
