How to Find Samsung Washer Error Codes & Fix a Samsung Washer Not Spinning
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 7 ก.ย. 2024
- Someone gave me a Samsung WA40J3000WA washing machine that wouldn't spin. Figuring out why It wouldn't do that wasn't easy, but not the hardest, either. These types of machines seem to have the problem often, but putting it in Error Code mode / Diagnostics is SUPER EASY and the system is pretty robust on telling you exactly what's going on.
The first half of the video shows how to deal with error codes. The second half is the actual fix, because I haven't seen a lot of videos explaining how to deal with the TMR Code, as well as the TMR Sensor itself, which was the issue on our washer.

Sir, you deserve a round of applause and a trophy. You saved me a bunch of money and helped me fix my machine. Thank you.
Hot/Extra High
Then just Extra High
Goes back and forth
I have the same model washer. Following your video, I found one (green) of the three TMR sensor wires was severed. I think it is a design issue. The wires are too thin and it is so easy to be broken with that level of shaking when it's spinning. While I was fixing it I collected some data for testing the three components: Capacitor, Shift actuator, and TMR sensor. Hope it is helpful to those who need it.
1. Run capacitor (1). Capacitance = 45 µF ±5% (2). Check body shape.
2. Shift actuator (1).Ohm range: 1000-1100 Ω. (2) check wire.
3. TMR (tunnel magentoresistance) sensor. There are three wires: green, blue, and red. Using Ohm meter to measure, one should get these:
(a) Green-Blue = OL
(b) Green-Red = OL
(c) Blue-Red = 10 KΩ
Not all heros wear capes......
I got 1145ohm on the shift actuator is that too far out of spec?
Thank you. You saved my life. My code was "HOT and Extra Large" --- took a pair of pliers and unhooked the door latch and it was back up and running again. Took 10 seconds. Without this video, I would have been clueless. YOU'RE A LEGEND MAN!!!
Did you replace the door latch or just disconnect it and leave it off?
Hi I have these codes. Can you please explain more clearly how to do this procedure again? I appreciated your posting this comment.
How did ypu get ypurs fixed mine has the same code
I bought this washer and I can't stand it, I wish I would of looked up the reviews before I purchased!!!
Your exactly right Samsung's are junk and I should have never bought one either.
Me too!
Me to such junk from the day i bought it nothing but problems never ever again
We looked at reviews said it was good it’s a pile of shit
Me too
My washer has the first listed error code, the "HOT" light only blinks. According to your chart the door lock is damaged by forcing it but it has never been forced and appears OK. Anyway the error prevents it from operating. Thanks for posting this video and the codes.
Yea. This is my issue as well. Any idea how to fix it?
Mine too looks like a lot of people have this issue but still no answer on what we might have to do
same issue here😊
Hi first I wanna thank you for taking the time to show people this stuff and give us a bit of info on it. I have this exact washer and the codes are hot and warm. Which in the video states a unbalanced load I have moved the clothes around still no spining. I have even taken everything out and tried to spin and still reads hot and warm indicating unbalanced load really not sure what else to try I have unplugged the washer and retried the diagnostic again still reading hot and warm! Any information or help is so appreciated!
Any luck trouble shooting this code Morgan?
same exact machine, it just makes a lot of noise on the spin cycle but doesn't spin
Did you figure out what the problem was?
YOU! are the reason youtube is amazing!
I've had this washer for a couple years now, and every so often I just want to toss it out. Its such a pain in the butt when it doesn't want to start, or drain water, or unlock the door. I've already had it serviced once, and to be honest, its probably just too smart for its own good. Meanwhile, my step father has a 30+ year old Washer that just won't die.
Its the old things that last longer, even automobiles. But, I am having the same exact problem, wont drain, but this began after 2 years of its purchase date.
Same. Can't wait to set the thing on fire.
I would like to know what brand of washer, that your step fathers has???
@@carlenecascoe9650 Whirlpool, I believe, but usually it's the same machine and different brand name on top of it. I have no idea what the model number is, but it's from 1990 or so I think.
@@lwvmobile thank you so much, for the information! I purchased my Samsung washer just a little over a year ago, I am having problems with it already! I’m going to have to purchase another brand, I just can’t do without a washer!!
I'll join the chorus and say that this video showed me how to fix the exact same problem that my washer was having. There's no way I would have figured it out otherwise. Thanks!
*PLEASE READ THIS BEFORE COMMENTING ASKING WHAT A CODE IS* : I am getting a lot of people asking about what certain lights mean: Please make sure to watch the list from 03:02 on, because many of the light combinations are both on screen visually, as well as text-based just to the right of the color/light combos. If the first code shows "HOT", then the rest of the boxes show what HOT means plus any additional lights. Its all there in the video, please view them.
Thanks!
Tried the discord link. Won’t pull up. Also how can you tell if the tub bearings are bad on this model. I have same, no spin issue. Done everything you recommended and much more I’ve researched. Tub bearing is the only thing left I can think of. I can feel a tiny bit of play on the shaft under agitator cover.
Found code check problems can not figure it out hot blinking help please
My machine flash red on washing. Just a small bit of water comes in
I've had my washer here for 2 years. Just today got an error code of Hot and Low which my manual says "ensure the cold and hot water tap are connected properly." I followed the lines and matched the pipes for hot and cold, even undid the lines to make sure that's what the connection was and low and behold, they were reversed. Thank you Best Buy techs...not only did you wash my manual in the test run you hooked me up backwards
Extremely clear and concise informative video! This will allow me to at least go into the issue not so blindly.
Thank you so much for taking the time to share your professional knowledge and experience with us.
I have this washing machine child lock flashes and hot water flashes after first rinse it doesn’t spin can you help me
Fantastic video. I also got the Hot & Cold code, and have had trouble with the washer not spinning at the end of a cycle. Oddly, if I shut it off & turn it on again, I can put it just in Spin mode and that works, so I had been doing that to get my laundry finished prior to seeing your video. After watching this video I feel confident going to go under the machine to see what's what now that I know what to look for. Thanks again!
I have the exact same problem did you figure it out
Same here
yeah, been doing the same thing, after a while it just gets harder and harder
Same thing is happening with mine, did you find out your problem!?
You da Man!! Getting HOT error code. I actually disconnected and reconnected all the connections at the bottom and checked for broken wires. Tried to re-start washer and it still didn’t kick on. I removed the 2 screws for the door latch and took the door latch apart moved parts around and put back together and re-installed. Push Start and BAM it started working.
You may have to press power, start/pause and temp at the same time to get into diagnostic mode.
Thank you for that comment
Thank you!!!!
very helpful video! Can you tell me how to calibrate this model? I keep finding instructions for a different samsung that involves pressing the delay button- but this model doesn't have that button so I'm stumped
During the spin cycle mine will spin up for a couple seconds and then stop. It then just sits there stalled out. Drain works fine at the beginning of the cycle and empties the tub. On the diagnostics, all lights are red and the Hot LED is flashing. Model WA40J3000AW/A2. Capacitor wires look good and no bubbling. Lever arm and cable look good. What do you think? Same sensor issue?
I have the same issue and we barely bought the damn thing. It washed normal the first few times but now the water empties but it doesn't spin the water out. It just stops.
@@CountSalazar I bought a new motor and clutch assembly and the issue remained. Ended up buying a new one.
@@csubroncs we ended up returning it and getting a whirlpool. Good thing we had barely bought it. No more Samsung appliances for us that's for sure.
I have the same problem turn on door locks clicks but water does not fill then clicks then it starts to drain but no water in machine I
Eaed the ts but still no water coming in help leader tks , and warranty is over.
Mines just sits and produces hmmn noise and not spinning. What should I do?
Thank you, Ben. I got the same code as in this video and the exact same problem. Luckily I have a soldering iron - result was a no-cost repair done within an hour of watching this video.
Right on dude, found a broken green wire on the TMR sensor connector in about 15 ninutes with the help of this video! Thanks & keep up the good work!
Awesome! I'm glad you were able to verify it was a bad TMR sensor wire.
@@bensappliancesandjunk none of the local appliance parts dealers had a clue what it was, much less could provide one. I soldered & insulated the broken wire, also clipped off the zip tie holding the mate connector for a less stressed angle. Machine works again!
@@bkcurtin2621 Funny story. About a month ago, I had a guy bring in this EXACT washer to my store. Complaint was it'd try to start spinning up, then died. I looked at him and said "Bet its the TMR sensor". He had a deer-in-headlights look. He just said look at it and he'd pay what I wanted.
Take it apart and sure enough: Wire was frayed.
Fixed it and told him.
He then admitted to me he was a factory-authorized tech for Samsung for a few years, and he couldn't even figure this one out because it had a standard motor instead of a stator.
So somehow, me & my shop know more about Samsungs than the Samsung techs themselves know. It was really funny to me.
This is exactly what is happening to mine. Mine flashes Hot and Warm which is an unbalanced drum. We had a guy come out and “fix” it and he only replaced a part on it. We try to balance the clothes we put in. Most of the time if we put something like a thick blanket it will not spin. What I’ve done is just put the washer into spin mode and it spins. This washer is a pretty faulty machine to be honest but atleast you do have a washer. Thanks for teaching me how to find out what is going on with my washer.
My opinion would be to maybe look at replacing all 4 matching suspension rods on this model. Not the cheapest, but these are very prone to flaws and breaking down quicker than other brands.
@@bensappliancesandjunk oh alright thank you for your opinion and I’ll look into it.
The code I got was Hot & Warm flashing. I checked the 3 things and all wires are connected. The spin cycle runs and then makes a sound like gears stripping. Can you help?
I got the same problem did you solved the problem?
I got the same problem@@elbeezaya9673
Thanks! Wife ordered a new washer but we were able to cancel the order and fix our old one. (Clogged screens in the water valves)
Thanks sincerly. We need more people like you in this world...☺
What luck! This is the same washer that I have and it has an issue that i couldnt find in the diagnostics. It stops mid-cycle and all of the lower lights go on with the extra-high light blinking. I know that there is something off with the water inlet valve because it will keep running into the tub even when nothing is going on. What would cause a diagnostic like the one I am getting?
Yours is the first/only video that addresses my model. Feeling encouraged.
Thanks,
Mike
Hi Ben. Thanks for the video. My Self-clean has a heavy vibration problem when it is draining out water, that shuts down the machine. It then begins to beep and the lights begin flashing. Thank you in advance for your advice
Same here Ben any help with this problem.
Thank for showing me how get washer diag mode .... all lights flashing and washer would stop filling .... once I new what touble code was (exrta large light flashing) found it was a water suppy problem( screens pluged with rust due to high iron content in water ) cleaned and all is well !!!! Thank you you saved me a bunch of $ for a service call ...I have been an auto tech for 30 years so figured i could fix it ... Thank for you guidence....AWESOME AND WIFE IS HAPPY SO SAY NO MORE!!!!
Thanks for this video. The error code that I am getting is the Hot LED light blinking. Any suggestions as to what the problem may be and how I might fix it???
Same here I have the hot LED light. Where you able to fix?
That’s what I have it says the door issue but it does lock and the door doesn’t look disformed
It seems like no one replies or said that they fixed the problem mineis doing the same can't figure it out. Someone anyone please 🙏 help
Your video inspired me to look underneath my washer. As soon as I tipped it over, I found the blue wire going to the capacitor had been clipped. I reconnected the wire and my washer was fixed. Thanks so much for this thorough video.
Awesome! These things are notorious for having a wire shredded either on the capacitor or the TMR sensor. The one we did this video on had this ULTRA SMALL wire (like a 22awg) that was ripped out from the TMR sensor. To replace the TMR sensor, you had to buy a new friggin' shift assembly @ $150. We spliced the wire back in for 50 cents after some DIY-ing and it worked like a million dollars again. They should re-enforce the wires way better than what they do.
Hey Alberto.. what problem did the clipped blue wire make for you??
@@bensappliancesandjunk thats crazy Ben.. they kno what they're doing... they make certain parts that way, so "THEY" can make even more money, by charging outrageous prices for something so easy to fix
Mine wouldn’t go into the spin cycle properly, but it would also disregard my selection of small/medium/large load and go directly to extra large. Then it wouldn’t go through the spin cycle, it would freeze up during the washing cycle, and was an overall disaster. It has actually happened to me about 3 times in the last 4 months. I suspect that the vibrations eventually cause the wire to become so maleable that the wire eventually snaps. It’s quite a design flaw.
Now I’m getting a different error code. Cold is the only one blinking now. The machine stops mid-cycle and changes itself from medium to extra large load and continues washing. It’s the weirdest thing. Ever seen this before? It doesn’t matter the load size, it always stops, changes to Extra Large setting and fills itself to Extra Large level of water, and then carries on to washing for hours. It’s getting very annoying.
I appreciate you taking the time and sharing your wealth of knowledge.
We had this washer for little over 6 months, and it is great aside from the main issue it does not auto correct an un balanced load (Which is everytime) when this happens it will automatically start to fill with water. We usually, more often than usual would manually redistribute the load until the clothes can spin dry enough to place in the dryer. It takes about 3 hrs. to do one load. My old school washer was set and forget it... I miss that. Any insight would be greatly appreciated!! Great video!! I just subscribed! Thanks very much!!
Same problem here, every time you put a load no matter how large or small. Really irritating.
Was really hoping their would be an answer in this comment for this issue
We've had the samsung wa45n3050aw/a4 for about 2.5 years with no issues on the machine until about a month ago. Suddenly the machine is knocking when attempting the spin cycle on the quick wash with low cold water, stopping, and giving the unbalanced load error code. We're able to limp through a load by pulling out wet laundry and redistributing within the basket, however we have been unable to process laundry as we had consistently for the previous 2+ years.
There's been no significant change in the loads we're attempting to wash and I don't know why the machine would start being extra sensitive to unbalanced loads, or become unable to rebalance itself as I assume it has been doing up until now. I honestly don't even know where to start.
Any guidance or suggestion would be greatly appreciated.
I'm having the same problem takes about 3 hrs to wash a load and the it keeps switching to load can anyone assist please
@@Themetalscrunchie I use my neighbors machine similar to this but has a small screen and will display code UE for unbalanced load. The only thing I suspect that there *might* be a counterbalance system with weights that helps offset unbalanced loads and maybe that is not working? I dealing with UE right now with blankets. Just pulled two blankets out and praying for it to finish.
Thank you!!! We had the extra large blinking at us. Our water intake filters were full. Saved us a lot of money!
That is what mine is doing. Was it easy to fix?
@@ACKluluwere you able to fix?
I have the “HOT” flashing only
meaning there’s an issue with the door
The washer fills up but doesn’t spin it drains right after filling up and the door locks and doesn’t look disformed please help what should I try next
I’m having this exact issue, with the draining and all. Did you find a solution? The door is definitely locking as well.
Do u fixed i have same problem hot flashing😢
FYI- Samsung regulates how hot the water can get. Putting it on hot will not solely draw hot water. It adds cold water as well. We needed straight hot water, so we bought two Y connectors with shut-off valves on each branch of the Y. One is hooked to our hot water spigot. The other is on the back of the washer on the cold water intake. We then added a black hose that goes from the hot water spigot to the cold water intake. When I want hot hot water, I open the valve on the Y at the hot water spigot, close the valve where the cold water line hooks into the Y on the back of the washer, and then open the valve where the hot water is coming into that same Y. Now I trick the washer into putting hot water into the machine when it thinks it's bringing in cold water. So dumb! I'm capable of deciding how hot I want my wash water to be. Hot, hot water is 100% necessary when washing clothes worn by welders, mechanics, engineers, farmers, etc. Not everyone wears casual clothing and stays relatively clean at work.
Very smart. I can't stand this company. They censor advice on Facebook. And brag about overcharging for products and parts. Our government approves. These things are not spontaneous. I just boil a stock pot of water. Start off small load as hot water turns on increase load size.
Hi Ben! My washer looks almost the same, except it has a soil level selection. I've had mine probably a month now and I noticed it will spin, then stop and spin again, etc. My clothes feel too wet at the end of each cycle. Any suggestions?
Your load is probably becoming unbalanced during the wash and/or spin cycle. I usually stop the spin cycle and rearrange it and it works fine. I find it does more often if I'm washing heavier articles like blue jeans
Hi Ben, Thank you for sharing the how to. I have a Samsung washer looks similar. My model is WA44A3205AW. The water inlet was changed because the water wasn't filling the machine. So what could be wrong with the machine?
Is there anyway to bypass the lid lock? I have this model and get a Hot flashing led.
Remove the lock assembly, cut all the wires, and discard the lock assembly. Strip the Green, White, and Red wires. Twist the green and white wires together, and leave them together. The washer thinks the lock is LOCKED when the Red wire is added into the Green and White twist ( all 3 twisted together ). You can't leave all 3 twisted together all the time because the washer also looks for it to UN-LOCK. Leaving all three twisted into the LOCKED configuration seems to activate the pump a few seconds after the power is turned on . So, only add the Red wire when the door is closed and you want to begin a wash cycle. Remove the Red wire from the twist, after the wash cycle finishes, and before turning on the POWER for the next wash cycle. Leave the Green and White wires twisted together all the time.
that didn't work for me. any idea why? I followed instructions to the T
Thank you so much man, you saved me from having to spend money on a technician, turns out my clothes were just unevenly distributed 😅
Thanks! Very well done! Can’t wait for the next video
Thanks for watching! I'm trying to get back into doing more videos frequently
I have a Samsung WA40J3000AW/AA washer. It is showing an "Extra Large" flashing code in diagnostic mode, which is a water supply issue from what I collect in this video. But the issue we are having is that it won't complete a wash cycle in any cycle, it will fill with water but won't wash. We have to switch it to the spin cycle to pump the water out. Could a water supply issue still be the problem?
I have same problem. Have you figured it out yet
I have this same machine. I start my load on small. It fills with water and starts the wash cycle after filling. It wash for about 3 minutes and then it starts filling up with water again, it not only fills up, it fills to a extra load.
What was your fix?
I have the same problem, any fix available?
I just got rid of it
I’m considering the same option
@@bird2002 yeah just throw it away, no technician in my area even wanted to try an fix it. It’s sitting in my garage collecting dust
Ah! You're a genius. I need to repair the lock. Hummm. Well, I replaced the pcb.. Like an idiot. So now... I know what's wrong. I just gotta figure the door out. Thank you so much.
Giving sound but not spinning
Hi, it's really helpful, actually I am looking for the same diagnostic code for Samsung top load model WA80E5EC/XTL
The water level indicating green led flashing and the red led of a rinse mode is continuously on
Hi very informative my door for my washing machine not opening and not spin drying
I only had the HOT light flash. The code guide you posted says it’s a problem with the door. But my machine works fine and there’s no issues with the door as it locks into place every time. The issue I’m having is that I’m only able to wash my clothes in hot water even when I select cold. It is hooked up right as it used to work perfectly fine. Any ideas as to what the issue is? 😥
I'm having the same problem!! Ughhh
Great evening Ben, how are U? I have the exact washer U are working on. My statement is, my washer makes a humming noise not allowing the water to fill, the lights still come on and even the function of the buttons, but no water filling.
Hi,1st I think your absolutely wonderful for helping people! My J3000AW W/A won't drain or spin,it's fills up with water goes through the wash cycle then quits. I tried sucking the hose out with vacuum that was a mess should have used a shop vac(lol). Anyway no change. I've tried resetting to no avail, the small button flashes when I do a diagnostic check on it what am I not doing, or better yet any idea on what to do. Just don't have money for someone to fix and have alot if clothes to wash. Thanks in advance! If you can help me you will definitely be my hero and I will tell everybody I know to check you out.
I had the same issue, did you find out how to resolve the small button flash problem?
Good morning technical friend, I have a similar fault in a WA19J3000AW model in the diagnosis the hot led is the one that flashes, I appreciate your collaboration to correct this fault. Greetings from Venezuela
Wife hid that washer was broken for 3 days, scared to tell me. Lol watched this video for some pointers. It was a pair of underwear stuck in the drive. 😊 took it out, hooked her back up and it operates just fine. Wife was gonna spend 500 bucks on a new one. Also I fixed our couch wiring today so I'm definitely getting some tonight. 🥳
I have this same model washer i think based in this video my issue is the door look switch, my question is if you have any idea on where can i find the whole top part that have the switch and holds the top lid and control panel ??? Because in my washer that whole part underneath is corroded and if i can find that part and is not that expensive i will rather buy it and not only the look switch, thank you for your time and this video which is very helpful
Thanks for doing this video
My making bad noise when spinning and won't dry.
Thank you for posting this video. My washer is randomly not spinning. Not giving an error code. Only the cycle I choose is flashing and the actual light for “Wash” I’ve tried to contact Home Depot but it’s 4 months over warranty. Need help because I still consider this a new washer. Brought it last July.
Thank you for making and sharing such helpful videos.
I have SAMSUNG Refrigerator and the ice maker is keeping icing up as soon as the bin gets full. Every time I defrost it and removed all ice then it is all good and when the Icemaker bin get full then the icing starts building up and stop making ice. I hope 🤞 you have some solutions to this type of problems. Thanks
Hola amigos necesito ayuda porfavor
Good video. My washer wasn’t running water,
And the simple diagnose helped.
mine was also not running water. The quick test/error code confirmed this. How did you fix it though?
I have the same question
Thanks I appreciate you making this video I put some drain clog destroyer gel down the drain
Hey Ben, I wish you made house calls! Thanks for the great video and for sharing your knowledge with a bunch of us, that will never by a Samsung anything again!
THank you for what you do. I myself have a question, have a one year old Samsung washer (model WA45T3200A), the cold cycle does not work, any ideas? Thank you.
Test the water valves for voltage AC with the multimeter. If it gets a hundred and twenty volts, then the valve is bad, but if it does not get a hundred and twenty volts that it is possible that main control board is bad
Hey Ben I’ve got a washer that shares function with the Temp button with the * feature to hold for extra rinse so it’s not entering into diagnostics mode any suggestions?
I would LOVE if you could figure out how to disable the chime on this exact model. According to the manual and Samsung, it's impossible on it. It's driving me and my family bonkers. Please help!
Hi very informative video!
However, our washer is flashing “warm and hot”
in the diagnostic phase
Can’t find that combo
Thanks for your help…Bobby D
mine too!
@@xocutiebaby101ox Did you ever find a fix for it? :(
After all is checks are done and every sensor checks out good to include the TMR sensor what do you think can be wrong when it still don't spin.
I have JUST the ‘cold’ light flashing. I’ve taken apart the unit head to clean it and make sure the buttons aren’t sticking. I’ve plugged and unplugged the unit, disconnected and connected the water lines and made sure they were open. It is ONLY when I try to run anything with hot water.
Hi my error code is Hot LED flashes & Extra Large LED flashes. What I need to replace for these codes? Thank you so much for helping.
Mine is throwing the Hot & Warm code but even after I rearrange the load and it's loaded at 1/2 of the drum it still gives me the same error is there a way to recalibrate it?
Same for me
Hey Ben, Your video is super informative. I don't get an error code when I press the temp button and hold it. My washer worked fine till I decided to take it apart and clean it per following the instructions from another youtuber. It works fine but is off balance when I wash clothes. If I run a cycle with no clothes, it is fine and spins just perfectly. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
In any mode of washing the water is not cut off its over flowing , could you explain the reason for this?
Thanks for the tips. I'm getting the Extra Large flashing error code. I did clear a small obstruction at the water line connection. Water runs, but the code comes on and empties before completing the wash cycle.
ran the error code/ diagnostic like you and got the HOT light blinking. i do like this machine when it work right.
Thank you!!! from a fellow tech, I have found one like this when i worked for samsung, don't remember what the solution was👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
I have question so at night time I turn on the washing machine to watch the clothes but when I woke up and open the machine since it said it’s finished but when I open it had water to the top and I tried to turn it on to suck the water but it did not work. Do you know what’s the problem?
I am using Samsam washing machine
Thanks for the video. I have a door lock issue. The lock does lock but the light on the panel does not light up. This is causing the water not to fill. Any suggestions?
Same here my lock does lock but nothing happens after that
Mine locks and fills up but drains right after filling and doesn’t spin
Hi!!! I’m going crazy with this washer machine. Thanks to your video I’m getting the unbalanced code hot and warm flashing light and spinning sign, but that is happening from a week now with every load of laundry, small big light and heavy. I don’t see any solution in the manual that you show here in the video and don’t know what to do about it. Appreciate your help and time.
Did you end up replacing it?
@@Seanithyes
Thank you for this video. I'm having a weird issue. The diagnostic shows an Extra Large LED flash and it won't spin. Any ideas? Thank you again!
Hey nice video . I have the same washer but it’s shaking really bad I’ve replaced the suspension rods and it is still shaking they are an inch bigger then the factory rods will this be an issue? Any other parts to check that might cause this problem?
I have a washer model number
WA45N3050AW/A4
You turn on the water but doesn’t fill when turned on . I’m thinking pump but I just learned through your video about the diagnostic mode . So will check the codes tomorrow.
Great and clear assistance, thank you
Thanx for the vid...I had the same exact code and a broken red wire to the capacitor...replaced the connector and good to go.
NICE! Way to go!
Samsung washer start spinning and shut off. Whats up?
I appreciate the video. We have the same Samsung. The machine will start to fill with water, then sometimes, it makes a strange noise and water slows down to a trickle. I wonder if the valve is sticking or not opening all the way. I tapped the valve and the noise went away. I'll order new cold/hot water valves.
This is a great video! I have the same model it wont spin with a hot/warm code.
Great video !!, I buy the washer of 21Kg with agitator,(WA21A3341GW) not deliver yet (A week more will arrives). I must confess that I get little scared reading and watching in youtube some failures or operational issues that presents these samsung washer. Basically I bought because it was a SAMSUNG week of deals, and fits to my expected amount of money to spend in a washer (about 10,000 pesos or 500 dollars). In your opinion this type of washer is Good option ?? are relliable ?? it worth ??. I am electronic enginner, have multimmeter, even a oscilloscope, some mechanical tools and love the DIY and Repair.
Again I like that persons as you take time to make a video about of this and share it.
I wrote a comment to you, but somehow, it's gone. Well anyway I did the code check, and I am getting a hot and cold blinking lights with all the lights on for the load size. Right now, I am going to see if the line is clogged. Hope that's all I have to deal with.
Thank goodness for ur video !!! We followed ur instructions and the code for ours was the Hot and the Ex Lg lights were ones flashing. Door lock switch terminal is connected and correctly or is broken... This occurs intermittently because of electric wire leakage or main PCB fault. How do we go about fixing this? Thank u so much in advance
If anyone has read this ... Can u plz help
If the mulex connector won’t come out of the shift actuator is that a pretty good indicator it’s the issue?
I have this exact model and sometimes it would spin the water out and sometimes it wouldn’t, and just yesterday it stopped filling with water altogether… the code I’m getting is the “small” led on the load size. What do you recommend? Thanks .
Hi!
I got “extra water” light blinking.
What should I do?
Water comes out during spin only cycle.
Thank you for the video my washer did the same and was able to fix it
Your the BOSS
I have the same model washer. Following your video, my error code is the flashing hot water, but I do not see this error in the sensor code section. My machine's issue is it does not spin. I know your example is the TMR sensor issue - could my problem be the same even though the cold water light does not blink? Any insight is appreciated as I am trying to fix this myself. Thank you in advance for your help.
I have a similar model, WA45N3050AW/A4 that is doing the same thing! can you help??? it's giving a hot and warm blinking led during the spin cycle, manual says to redistribute load and re press the start button however this does not fix the issue. it will not complete the spin cycle at all, when it begins to spin, the basket hits the sides of the washer in all directions and never fully starts spinning, after it stops trying, it stops, unlocks, and starts beeping and giving the flashing error lights again.
Mine does the same, seems to be off balance but after I move the laundry around and try to “spin only” it still will refill and then drain and spray rinse and never spins out the clothes.
Hi, thanks for your time in explaining these codes. My machine isn't spinning and it does show a hot blinking code when I run the diagnostic test. How much do you estimate it would cost to have the TMR sensor replaced, if it is that particular sensor, by a technician because I'm for certain that I can't fix that sensor myself?
The TMR sensor cannot be replaced by itself. You'd have to buy the entire shifter/transmission column.
Is there a video of changing the doorlatch. My diagnostic check comes up as just the hot flashing. I do not know where the switcheven is ty.
I have the same Model as the video. The lights that flashed during diagnosis are the hot and warm. Could you tell me the possible solution? The machine only spins when washing medium loads. When we try large loads it sounds like it's going to run but never moves into gear thus never really spins. Looking forward to a possible solution... Thank you.
Did you end up replacing it?
I was excited to see this video. I have the same washer that I picked up used in "working" condition. The disclosure to that working is...It doesn't shut off in the rinse/spin cycle and endlessly cycles back and forth. I have rechecked level, the drain line and pump, and even different size loads; but the washer keeps staying stuck in this mode and it will not shut off on its on. We have tried different modes (Delicates, Normal, Heavy Duty, etc.) but it still wont shutdown in the proper sequence. I have heard it twice go into the chime at the end but have NO IDEA what we did to support that. HELP!!!
Last time I saw that, it was trying to keep re leveling the unit because it was unbalanced. I'd check and make sure the suspension rods are in good shape.
The code that I have is only the XLarge flashing, the water supply code. I am struggling with it. It will fill up and then drain without washing. I ran it on spin and it worked fine, ran it on rinse and spin and it worked fine. It will not work on any wash cycle though. Do you have any tips? Thanks!
I got same code.
Different issues.
Water fills up during spin only cycle…
I appreciate this video so so so much! You helped me save money bc my husband was just gonna get another one!!! So again thank you so much!!
Hello.
Thanks for sharing this video. Can you help. I did the diagnostic steps and the light for the hot water is the only one blinking. Thankyou
Thank you so much for this video. Mine does not blink any codes. It spins but stops mid way and will not finish. Suggestions?
Hey, any luck with your washer. Mine doesn't blink a code either and stop midway washing also
Hey Ben. Awesome video! I have the exact same washer. However, I tried to pull up the diagnostics mode and nothing happens. I followed your instructions and turned the machine on and then held down the temp button for 8 seconds. There was a sound after 3 seconds but no lights came on. Any tips?
Hi I have the same washer machine the code I got flashing hot and warm ? Everything you mentioned I looked at and is all connected what do you think it might be ? Thank you for your help and informative video
