Samsung DC97-16509C Flange Shaft Assembly — Fixes Washer Drum Not Spinning
If your Samsung front-load washer drum has stopped spinning or is making a grinding noise, the flange shaft assembly is the most common cause. In most Samsung front-load washers, the flange shaft assembly connects the drum to the drive system. When it fails, the drum may spin erratically, make loud grinding or scraping sounds, or stop rotating entirely — leaving clothes soaking wet. ⚡ Common failure point in Samsung-built front-load washers. Part DC97-16509C is the genuine OEM replacement that restores full drum rotation and eliminates bearing-related noise.
