| My motive here is to help others increase fixability rate with samsung washers which we are often priced out of a repair ( OEM Samsung rods are often $100 each! ). The Whirlpool Rods are less expensive and of higher quality providing for a win-win. That is my sole motive and im glad to provide the benefit to others for the sake of the industry! That is my only motive. However money helps advance the cause. Feel free to donate, proceeds will be used to explicate more data such as: More samsung part numbers, more whirlpool alternatives, and general appliance fix abilities to be shared freely with everyone so nobody has to be priced out of fixing something simply because they can't afford a repair! These problems require some one on one time and trial and error testing of parts but the sharing of the solutions is free. |
