How To: Samsung Drive Motor Stator DC31-00111A

[@RandomBitzzz]

what should the resistance read (in ohms) on a good DC31-00111A stator?

[@ericc8895]

What is yours doing? I have the same model number stator. My washer will not spin, it will slightly rock back and forth making a high pitch sound, I tested the stator and I am getting 11.4 ohms in any combination of the 3 connectors

[@RandomBitzzz]

@@ericc8895 I get 12 ohms on mine. Resistance is influenced by the temp. Mine won't start a wash cycle. In rinse and spin cycle it will rinse, but not start the final spin. I've tried new stator, logic board, and water pressure sensor

​@@ericc8895 I get 11.8 Ohms across all pins. Too much of a coincidence it is the same on all three so I think it is good even through some sites say it is supposed to be 6 Ohms. My Samsung is WF395BTPAWR/A1 and the stator part number is AP5583744. I ordered the hall effect position sensor and hope that it clears my b3 error

@@alexisdavis1507 I'm not sure really what is the fix, I gave up and sent it to the junkyard with all the new parts in it. Waisted $180 on the damn thing and still did not work. I hope you have had better look.

My washer will attempt to start a cycle, but only locks the door, attempts to pump some water out, the drum rocks about a 1/2", and then I get spinning dash lines on all four LCD numbers. I tried hard resets (unplugging), and even tried to calibrate it through Samsung troubleshooting texting but nothing worked. Seems like a motor issue to me. Will a brand new motor/stator and position sensor likely fix this?

What is your model number?

@@appliancepartspros WF45N5300AW/US. Can't seem to find any error code that corresponds with the 4 dash lines rolling in circles on the LCD display. Some others have had similar issues and there doesn't seem to be a conclusive fix. Some have placed the motor/stator and it fixed it, others have replaced the control board and that also fixed it. Not sure where to turn next other than buying a replacement (can't believe I have to do that after 6 years of very light use)...

[@appliancepartspros]

You can test the stator for between 4 and 6 ohms of resistance on any of the 3 terminals. If those check ok then you would need to replace the control board.

@@appliancepartspros Great - thanks for the help!

[@appliancepartspros]

You're welcome!

What if the rotor cover doesn't come off.

[@appliancepartspros]

What is the model of your appliance and we can look into this for you.

[@appliancepartspros]

Are you sure that you have removed all the bolts that were on the cover?

[@marvelblue3943]

Having a c3 code will this fix that?

[@jrang2658]

Did you ever figure it out?

[@marvelblue3943]

@jrang2658 No, I just want on ahead and got a top loader

Mi lavadora es un modelo: WF18H5000AW y el motor tiene esa numeración del que usted cambio...existe otro modelo que también se pueda reemplazar??

You should’ve used blue or green thread locker, never red, and it only takes one drop..

[@koobski]

Samsung told me to buy a new washer because the repairs would cost more then a new washer.....bought a new replacement motor for 65$ on ebay. Problem solved
