I have opened it almost everything and managed to take it front face off and got the clothes out.

I have measured the Noise Filter (DC29-00013A). Its input side is 121V and output side is 121V. The wall plug is 121V. At the same time, there is no any responses, or led lights on at all.

I am not sure if the Filter is good and working? do I need to replace it?

I have checked the water pump (inlet and outlet) and see nothing except water.

What else I should check? How can I know if the PCB (the main control board) is working or dead? There is no sign of burning on it or anywhere.

Please help. Thank you in advance!

The error code 3E keeps showing up on the machine at the start of the cycle. It won’t spin or start a rinse cycle or anything. I run the machine on test mode and when I select either spin or rinse it comes up with the error. I took the motor out and checked the bushes and they are all fine, but when I remove the top of the washing machine and play around with the wire harnessing and making sure plugs are pushed all the way in (I don’t really feel like I do anything to them) it starts working again! I have done this twice now and then it will stop working again after 4 or 5 washes. I’m not sure what would be causing it but I’m hoping someone could help me narrow it down so I can get it fixed permanently without having to get a new machine. Cheers

The outlet, the plug and the cable are all fine. I took out the door switch and tested it for continuity and that checked out (although i am not sure if there being continuity means door switch is OK). I manually depressed the spring loaded switch to simulate the door being closed but it still wouldn't turn on.

How do i go about finding the fault?

Is this the fuse?:

I don't see any fuse from noise filter to board. I do see what i think is the fuse in the board. I circled it in the picture. Sorry my phone's camera isnt the best.

Yes oldturkey03, I am not showing any voltage on the relay you marked in the picture above. No 125v, no 220v...just 0.

Do you think it could be the fuse at the board that's blown?

My 14 month old (warranty expired) front loader Samsung wf45k6500av/a2 is leaking water from around the drain pump filter cap during the whole cycle.

Do you think I just need a new drain pump filter cap or is there a bigger problem?

And yes, the filter is clean, nothing seems to be lodged in the tubes either.

I pulled the drain pump off and made sure nothing was stuck and it seems to be functioning correctly most times. Also, the water inlet, door lock, etc all seem to be functioning correctly. I am thinking that this is an issue with the control board and it will need to be replaced.

I am trying to find the easiest way to diagnose the control board since it is an expensive part. Of course Samsung is completely useless in helping or making good on this issue which seems to be prevalent on other forums.

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

About a year ago (almost to the day!!!), I had a load of washing that I couldn't get out of my washer because the door wouldn't open. Upon investigation I found that the door interlock has burnt out. I'm not sure what the piece is called that connects to the interlock (connector block?), but it was badly burnt and slightly melted, although the 3 metal contacts were still intact. Some of the interlock was damaged too, so I bought a new interlock and fit it to the burnt connector and it has been fine since. But this evening during a wash, my machine started beeping to say there was a door error - that it wasn't closed. When I pushed on the door, I heard a buzzing noise and the lock icon was shown on the display, but when I tried to rerun the wash, it said the same error. I'm not sure what to do? Do I buy a new interlock, or is the connector the problem - if so are these replaceable too, or does it mean I need a new machine? :(

Google translate:

Why do I have water flowing from the softener soap tub.

When the machine loads the water, the water overflows through the soap-softener tank At the start of the cycle, and before rinsing

Moreover, I've found a service manual online that have some details on the wirings: https://www.manualslib.com/manual/279727...

Do you have any suggestions? Thanks.

No power to drain the pump. If I provide 120v direct to pump, the machine completes the cycle

I suspect a relay as well, but not sure how to locate the correct one

We went to Lowes to see if we could get someone to check on our washer but they said it would be cheaper to buy a whole new washer. I want to try my hand at fixing it before I resort to that. Does anyone have any ideas on a potential solution?
