Samsung DC97-18094B Washer Door Boot Seal OEM Part

This process was fairly straightforward, it took a couple of hours. I watched a video on youtube and followed the directions. The trickiest part was attaching the diaphragm to the tub. The weights were in the way and made it difficult to seal. I ended up removing the weights and it went on much easier.

I replaced the entire door "boot" using the part I ordered from AppliancePartsPros.com using a video explaining the process from YouTube. It really wasn't that difficult and saved a ton of money instead of hiring the appliance repair person who wanted to charge 6 times as much and said it was a "very difficult" repair and would be time consuming.

I ordered a new gasket from Appliance Parts Pros.com. It was back ordered so it took longer than normal but in about 10 days and with the help of the online video, I had the new one in and working in less than one hour. I normally wouldn't attempt to repair a new washing machine that is still under warranty but the video makes it amazingly easy, fast and fun.

I ordered the three parts from appliancepartspros.com and added $15 for overnight shipping. Got the parts and had the washing machine up and running like new in an hour.

Deduced that the cause was a failed bearing for the drum. Ordered spin bearings (both inner and outer). Although APP did not have a video showing bearing replacement, they did have a video on tub seal replacement that was adequate to get most of the way to bearing replacement. Did have an appliance repair company come out and assess the situation. They suggested replacing the entire drum, at a cost of $1500. Replacement parts purchased from APP were less than $200. Of course, the repair took several hours of personal time, but the repair went without issue, using the APP videos.
