Thanh for Model Number WF419AAW/XAA 03 Took apart my Samsung washer and replaced the disintegrated spider. I didn't replace the center tub seal. Also after reassembling the machine, I noticed there was a stainless steel ring washer on the broken spider shaft that I didn't put back. The center tub seal looks okay but should I have replaced it? Also, do I need the ring washer? What will fail or happen if I don't have it there? Thank you
Answer Hello Thanh, This is just a spacer that is sometimes needed and sometimes not needed. You should open the door of the unit and grasp the spin basket and see if you have any excess movement from front to rear of the spin basket. If not, you probably will not need to worry about it. If there seems to be free play, you will need to open the unit and install that spacer. Read More... Answered by AppliancePartsPros.com | Saturday, October 13, 2018
