Great instructions, thank you. Would you happen to know where I can aquire this part or the gear wheels as that’s what I think is the problem. Thanks Stephen Rawlings

David Rod - May 7, 2018

GREAT INSTRUCTIONS!!! I would have to say there is a design flaw where the wheel spring attaches. I have two of these vacuums and they both have had the same problem now 4 times the small plastic peice that holds the spring snaps off and you can not reattach the spring. I would assume that there is no quick fix and samsung would sell you the whole drive wheel. Is there a place where you can purchase parts ???

Amy Kurtz - Dec 31, 2018

Did you find the answer to this question? Mine has had the same thing happen.

nique88 - Apr 15, 2021

did you manage to fix ?

am i wanting the right wheel motor, are you willing to sell?

Amelia KD - Jul 10, 2019

Very helpful, thank you!! My son has a 3d printer so may be able to create the part you are still looking for that part, @lightningrods
