Washer Probem.. the rubber came off the metal rim.

Could be a number of things. Either something foreign was left in a pocket (Coins are the most common object) and has come out in the wash. The coin rattles around and falls in between the tubs through the gap in the front gasket. When this happens, the coin can hit the bracket which holds the heater element in place and tears it off. This causes a lot of damage. Most Samsung have plastic outer bowls and often, the tub will be split and a leak will start from underneath. Lastly, it could be the drum main shaft and spider assembly. This is what holds the spin tub into the machine. If this fails, bits of metal will come off. Usually seen as bits of corroded aluminium that get stuck in the pump and hoses. When this happens, the tub usually goes loose and the machine makes a horrible grinding and banging noise when spinning. I would say that if this has happened , its time for a new machine.

I think your rubber band is not round your drum proper youve got toun plug it pull it out un screw lidput your hand down front of washer insideand feel round rubber and if it feels like its come away then you have a metal loop that may need puttin back proper so you will have unscrew it and movethe metal rim and putthe rubber back into slot again all the best

Hi,

When my washer did that, I found that the shocks that hold the tub were bad...

Check out this tip I wrote about the noise and vibration that front load washers can make..

The thin metal wire should have a loop on either end. Connecting the two loops is a spring, that wire/spring combination holds the rubber seal around the tub opening. Putting the wire back on is a lesson in patience. The rubber fits in a slot on the back and the wire holds it in in the front. Good luck.

Hi Qqiustin.There are couple of solution for this,you can try that before attempt to change door gasket.1- Run machine empty on Cotton 95C cycle,while it's intaking water add 300ml of bleach.(It could produce some foam but let it go & finish it's cycle)That progress will clean your machine & mould on the door gasket should get disappeared.Alternatively you can try EXIT MOULD or likely products on the super market sells.Follow the instruction.Goodluck.Thanks.

you can try holdthe one side and use a screw driver on the other end try to put the rmetal ring in the gasket. is batter if you have to persons...

Certainly the rubber gasket can be replaced. See this link http://www.espares.co.uk/part/washing-machines/lg/p/1085/81/0/0/187356/washing-machine-rubber-do.html

Hope this helps. Please remember to rate my answer. Many Thanks.

You are not supposed to use suds, use 'washing powder' for 'front-loading washing machines' which is available in any supermarket.

if it is only the rubber gasket and the spring loaded clamp that holds it in place it is worth repairing. if the tub, inner or outer, is damaged it is probably time to replace it
