Drum and cabinet

Samsung’s service manual lists this exact model alongside its related electric and gas versions. The drum-removal procedure starts with top, console, front-panel and drum-front removal before the belt is released. Front and rear rollers are also covered.

Heat and controls

Encompass’s exact-model catalogue lists the electric heater, drive motor, thermistor and main board separately. The service manual includes distinct electrical-component tests; the gas models covered by the same manual use different heating hardware.
