My 3 year old Samsung Washer, Model WF218ANB, stopped spinning. Service tech indicated filter was clogged and gasket was worn. When he took the front off to replace the gasket, he discovered most of the bearings holding the drum in place were missing (broken off or dislodged) and during the spin cycle, the drum was unbalanced and eroding the gasket. Costs to fix it were greater than the cost of a new machine. He put it back together and warned me it could last a week or a few months before it completely died. Meanwhile, I am shopping for a basic, low tech, top loader. I rated this machine one star because they didn't have a place for no stars. I heard from friends this same complaint about other Samsung appliances. Never again!!
