Hi my front load samsung washer started to make a squeaking sound this morning.
I traced the sound to the rotor stator.
I flipped the covering on the rotor stator around and the drum turned with no sounds.
When the cover is on I hear a squeak. So the issue seems to be with the rotor stator.
I tried putting some grease on where the shaft joined the cover. Squeeked still there.
Now the motor is not spinning the washer at all.
I suspect the squeek was the stator failing.
Could I be missing something or is it likely the stator rotor?
