Its very easy to do with a youtube video as a guide. Really the hardest part of this repair is...well there is not a truly hard part. The top of the washer just pops off. The long steel brackets in the kit just slide in. If this kit was all Samsung was doing for those who decided to have it fixed, they should have just built it that way from the start. Anyway...if you have one of the problematic machines, buy this kit and fix it yourself AND get the rebate money and fix the old one. Whole repair takes between 30 minutes and an 60 minutes. EASY!

This is an absolutely critical repair part due to the Samsung recall: The potential for lid/top flying off of washing machine when running at high speed spin. (look up Samsung 'explosions') Samsung provided these repair kits for free including installation, but just for the original purchaser. Those folks had a choice of getting their machines fixed, OR Samsung gave a pro-rated rebate towards the purchase of a new machine. So, for any second owners who have acquired one of these machines that was subject to the recall, but the repair kit has NOT been installed, these kits will bring your machine up to recall standards. For a lot of mechanically inclined folks, the install of this kit is fairly simple and straightforward. There are no instructions with the kit, so IF you are planning on installing the kit yourself, I recommend doing an online search for repair videos. I found several. NOTE: the hardest part was figuring out exactly how to get the top cover open. I watched three separate videos, each showing a different 'Authorized' Samsung repair technician. They each did it differently. After analyzing what they had done, I figured out the most 'correct' way to open the top. After that, the installation is easy. I now have a Samsung washing machine that someone gave me(free!) and it has the recall standard satisfied. All for the less than $15 cost of this kit! Awesome!Read full review

Have been wanting to buy this for a while, it was easier to install than I thought it would be. A little confusing at first just looking at the parts, but there is a good video online that must have been produced by Samsung, it goes through every step and really makes this easy. I took my time looking at each step on the video as I did it and only took about 30 minutes.

Perfect fit! But could use some instructions (or link) on how to install the kit. However, after some searching, I found a good video by Samsung. I got my exploding washer off the street! I saw a Samsung Washer pushed to the curb. I asked the homeowner if they were throwing it away. They said I could have it. So for now my niece has a like new washer.

Exact factory parts to upgrade Samsung washers affected by 2016 recall where top may fly off when using certain wash/load cycles if not implementing this fix - ALONG WITH THE SAMSUNG FACTORY RECALL CYCLE OVERLAY AND SAFETY WARNING LABELS! (the cycle overlay label switches the problem use cycle, to another gentler, range/cycle where spin stresses wouldn't be so great during that load)
