DC97-12528A Samsung Spider Arm Assembly

The Spider Arm Assembly is a genuine OEM part designed for Samsung washing machines. It attaches to the washing machine drum, aiding in its support and stabilization throughout the washing and spinning processes. This component is crucial for ensuring that the drum operates smoothly and quietly, minimizing vibrations and noise.

The deterioration of the spider arm assembly can be attributed to several factors such as corrosion from continuous exposure to water and cleaning agents, wear and tear from regular usage, or damage due to unevenly distributed loads. These issues may gradually compromise the integrity of the spider arm, potentially leading to breakage or diminished functionality.

Indications of a failing spider arm assembly are noticeable and include:

- Significant shaking or vibration during the spin cycle
- Noticeable banging or clunking sounds
- The drum appearing misaligned or wobbly
- A decrease in the machine's washing and spinning efficiency

Additionally, this OEM part from Samsung is compatible with select Kenmore washing machine models.
