Samsung dishwashers are trash. Once had to replace a sensor (hell I don't remember what it sensed exactly) and another time had to roll it to clean the water reservoir on the left side. That I figured out after it stopped with all four lights flashing before the wash cycle started.

It was leftover from the previous homeowners. They apparently loved Samsung. The fridge, microwave and dishwasher are all Samsung. Maybe their Samsung oven shite the bed because its a Kenmore and the odd man out

Yeah, some units you have to take them out and flip them over to get to the motors.
Learned that in a Bosch class and it works for many of the Koreans as well.
Some make it nearly impossible to access the motor while installed.

Exactly how this one is. I can't do anything to it without taking off the mounting brackets, pulling it out and flipping it over.

Luckily found this Youtube video from RepairClinic on how to replace the motor. They give great tutorials.

Could it be something simple like a clogged spray bar?

Nah I already removed them and ran water through manually and there aren't any clogs.

Sorry to Hijack thread but my washing machine(clothes) violently shakes sometimes during spin cycle. It is balanced any idea what I should check next before I pay someone to come out and look? I am a pretty hand man and I took everything off the back but looks nothing like the vids on youtube

I used to love Whirlpool laundry products. The older ones I would put next to Speed Queen in build quality and prefer them to old Maytags(which have almost a cult following).

I hate to say though, these new Whirlpools are almost disposable. So many things cause failure in them. Assuming you do have a washer with a start button and five green lights and maybe one red on the console, as in the link?

These machines generally shut down with a critical error code (sequence of lights flashing) if they shake violently. Doesn't sound like yours has that issue, because people always lead with flashing lights and shut downs when they describe appliance ailments.

I generally find replacing the shocks fixes off balance issues in VMW washers.
Most likely that is your problem. They are not much online and easy to change.
