Does a Samsung Washer Have a Belt?

Published in Appliance Repair 1 min read

Most modern Samsung washing machines do not have a belt. Samsung, like many other manufacturers, has transitioned to direct drive motor systems in their washers. These motors are directly connected to the washing drum, eliminating the need for a belt.

Here are some reasons why Samsung washers have shifted away from belt-driven systems:

  • Increased Efficiency: Direct drive motors are more energy-efficient and quieter than belt-driven motors.
  • Reduced Maintenance: Direct drive motors have fewer moving parts, resulting in less wear and tear and reducing the need for repairs.
  • Improved Durability: Direct drive motors are generally more durable than belt-driven motors, extending the lifespan of the washer.

However, some older Samsung models may still use belt-driven systems. If you're unsure about your specific model, you can check the user manual or contact Samsung customer support.
