except it's a Samsung so it's about 6 months away from needing a $400 motherboard or other insanely stupid electronic component that is worth more than the machine itself.
My rule is if you’ve ever made a TV or cell phone I’ll NEVER buy your appliance.
When I got this house, all my appliances were Samsung. It's been five years. None of my appliances are Samsung.
Well it easy to just repair your own washing machine yours-..... Oh it's Samsung, never mind. Overly complex electronics and digital control made to not be fixable and break just after warrenty. But on the upside, it has ads and doesn't work without an app on your phone!
Remember the time when a washing machine actually was made to wash clothes, for over 20 years? Or a fridge, which was designed to keep your products cool, for over 20 years? Without a monthly subscription, no ads, no updates, no popups, no ai which doesn't work, no phone connectivity required, etc. And all for a reasonable price, as it wasn't an overly complex computer. 120 euros for a washing machine which lasts for over 20 years, or a 650 euros for one that lasts 2 years and 2 months.
We're not buying appliences that make our life easy anymore. We're just buying trinkets designed to make companies and billionaires as rich as possible.
All appliances used to be really expensive, now only good ones are. Stop buying crap and they will last 20 years.
Like what?

That's why you prepare a hallway with like 20 of these alcoves. When one machine breaks, you simply pump it full of cement and plaster it over. It just becomes part of the wall. It remains there, entombed forever, like some latter-day washing machine Pompeii. Or maybe you don't plaster over them at all. Maybe you proudly display them. "These are the washing machines of my ancestors..."
My wife was a huge Samsung fan. When it came time to get a washer I found a ding and dent option at a habitat for humanity ReStore. It likes to get unbalanced but it's still kicking after 8 years. I didn't expect it to last this long. But I know for a fact the next time we get one my wife will not care if it's Samsung or not.
I had a similar unbalanced issue with a Samsung dryer years ago. Weird as hell rubbing noise but as far as I could tell no actual mechanical issue with the drum. Realized that lifting the front end made it stop immediately. Tried adjusting the feet but that didn't resolve it consistently.
I shoved a 2in high piece of wood under the front lip and the machine has never made the noise again. Still going strong.
I think ours is a spring.
For us it was the $180 concrete counterbalance weight that broke, dented the front panel, and broke the drain tube clean out up front. Hunk of junk.
Costs
It's probably not worth it.
My Samsung washer and dryer have been running for the last 6 years with 0 issues
That's ... that's the joke
