Are those paper clips you're using to test voltage?

[@christianbuddie1630]

Thank you so much for this video. My Samsung washing machine just stopped working last week. 1.5 year old unit (uhhh Samsung, really?) Anyways, it refused to power on for no apparent reason. I had a repairman come over and say that it was "going to be about $700 to fix and that I should buy a new one or a home warranty from his company." He spent about 9 minutes taking the top off and pointing to wires and happily took his $129 diagnostic fee. I took a gamble and watched your video a few times. Ordered a new logic board, crossed my fingers and installed. Instant fix. Your wisdom and willingness to share saved me a lot of money. Seriously, thank you.

[@DIYtimeTech]

👌🏻 Awesome, Im glad it worked out well for you!

Mine just didn’t turn on . I think is the transformer . There’s a click when I press on .

[@s1dew1nd3r4]

what was it? mine sometimes clicks sometimes doesnt - when it clicks itl turn on and it will start the cycle etc but then it just randomly loses power. @@moisesbecerra8316

Such an excellent and informative video that is to the point and very easy to follow along. Just wanted to add that this was exactly the same issue I had with the Samsung 6300 series washer that was purchased late 2019. Not impressed with Samsung after only three years of moderate use and it goes belly up! I tried replacing the front control board but that wasn't the fix. The reason is because I tested pins 4&5 which measured 5V for about a minute and then measured 0V. I thought the front display is on a timer anyways so maybe the PCB board was fine and it's my front display. A new front board didn't fix the issue. It still would not turn on! Ordered the PCB board of the exact model and works like a charm! Thanks for this, appreciate your efforts very much!

[@AlbertoKiramoto]

Thank you very much. Your video helped me with my washer and it was the exactly same behavior, tests came up the same, new logic board fixed it.

[@stevegreen5915]

Great job on giving us all the correct testing and diagnostic's steps for the control board. I had the same exact problem but the RED LED Light was not blinking on my board. After going through all your steps, I did NOT have the 5 Volts between pin #4 and pin #5 on the CN7 Connector. I just put a new control board in today and it works now. Thanks again for your video, it was very helpful

[@DIYtimeTech]

Awesome, I am glad this was helpful!

[@Granpaa]

Glad I found your video, my 3 year old washer had no power so i ordered a new board for $214 Canadian delivered. Up and running again. I was impressed how well the Samsung is put together and the parts look very good, but as most things today the electronics are a weak link

[@DIYtimeTech]

Glad it was helpful!

[@reyana1095]

Mine too 3 year old Samsung washer won't start at all.

[@januario66]

​@@DIYtimeTech can you please help me? My Samsung washer was not coming on and I replaced the board and came on and we started washing, then stopped after 15 minutes of work and never came back on,fuse is ok ,but don't know what else to check

[@s1dew1nd3r4]

hey any chance you could point me in the direction of whats up with my ecobubble? so its started to not turn on OR when it will turn on, it will start the cycle etc and then 5 or 15 minutes in just randomly dies as if i have pulled the plug out the wall - now i know when its going to turn on because when i switch the plug socket on i can hear a click and i know it will power on BUT until i hear that its dead to the world, any ideas???@@DIYtimeTech

[@JayB_Cnt]

I have the same one, 3 years in and it won't turn on...wouldn't recommend a Samsung to anyone

[@somethingnorhing4920]

Thankyou very much. I replaced the board as you suggested. All working. Board cost £65. New Samsung washing machine £550. You saved me £485.

[@OldSkewlGaimr]

Thank you so much for doing this video! I have the same washer and it did the exact same thing. It would take multiple hits of the power button to turn on, until it didn't. Watched your video, followed your troubleshooting and looked up the service manuals as well. Was missing the same 5 volts DC. So replaced the board. I had to pay $150.00 for mine... I have also fixed the Dryer twice, once to replace a drum roller wheel, and then the heating element as it burnt out. Not impressed with Samsung washers and dryers! So thank you again for posting this and helping me out!

[@DIYtimeTech]

I feel like they don’t built them to last any more. Our drier also gad burnt element, and we replaced PLASTIC rollers on my parent’s washer twice already! For that reason we always buy extra 5-years warranty now. Im glad this video has helpful and thanks for your kind words!

[@kirbyallen2145]

Great Video.. Tried this procedure, tested all suggested voltage pins.. I had incoming 120 volts, but did not have the correct 12v, and no 5v coming out.. Ordered new board on line. Install new board with fingers crossed.. AND WOW unit now works, wife is so happy.. Thank you for this perfect diagnosis video.. Great Job Bro..

[@DIYtimeTech]

Awesome, glad to hear that!

[@satavahanag4552]

Appreciate your trouble shooting expertise and very informative to pin point the issue and the required part to replace. 👍

[@andystreets4660]

Thank you sooooo much for publishing this video. My samsung washing machine would not turn on too and by using this video as a reference for inspection and testing, I decided to replace the board. $200 for a board and 1 day shipping and we are back washing clothes again! I would like to add that apparently there are 2 different main boards available for these washers, a "3 capacitor" and a "4 capacitor". The video showes the 4 capacitor and mine was the 3 capacitor. This meant that I could not do the exact same electrical tests that you did on mine, but I went ahead and replaced it and It works perfectly.

[@marcohaupert7800]

Thank for this precious guide, it helped quite a lot. in my case it was the wifi module that caused a short circuit. Unplugged it and the washer started as there had never been a problem.

Thank you. Saved me hundred$. BTW, your links go to the wrong part. Make sure you compare the actual sticker on the board with what you are buying - I bought the non-returnable wrong one.

[@DIYtimeTech]

Yeah, I think depending on the features of each individual washer, the main boards will have slight variations. Always compare the model number.

[@MrCbayboyz]

thanks i'm having same issue and was about to dispose of my washer, gonna dive into this repair.

[@timothywidner4937]

Thanks for the info I'm working on one tomorrow with the same problem. A lot of times you can look at your transformers on the boards it will at least give you your voltage in AC are DC . Then you just need to know your testing location. A lot of board now have DC volt transformer. Good jobs thanks

[@chedisme]

Iv got 7v between pin 4 and 5. I'm not sure how to determine if the user interface board is broken and drawing too much power or if the main board is broken and sending too much power. Also I think 7v is high enough over 5v to damage the user interface board. Any ideas?

Hello sir thank you for your wonderful video I have the same problem with my washing machine. But when I try to click that you provided to order the logic board I don’t know which one to order? Can you please kindly send website I can order the specific logic board thank you very much sir

[@DIYtimeTech]

There is no way I can tell you what to buy. Every washer is different. Type in the exact part number found on the circuit board in the search.

[@echolectricstudios2870]

Can’t find an online manual for DC92-01982A

[@PhilDoesItAll]

Is this the board that would probably fry if my house was hit by lightning? My washer lets in water for a couple seconds and then stops and thinks and then another couple seconds and stops and another couple seconds and stops and then I get the rolling lights on the display. I replace the water inlet valves and that didn’t fix it. So I’m thinking it’s probably this logic board that controls when those open and close?

hiya, thanks so much for this info. Trying to diagnose my washer (same samsung unit that isn't turning on, but does have a click from the relay when I press the power button), and looks like there's 120VAC to the main logic board CN7 providing good 5v and 12v power. Where did you find the service manual? Any ideas on next steps to diagnose? Not sure which board to get, though figure it's one of the three at this point.

[@DIYtimeTech]

There is a web address that I used shown on the screen @ 4:25 mark in this video.

[@w_rxyz]

in case it helps anyone else... I ended up getting a replacement main logic board (DC92-01803D) from ebay. Popping in the new logic board was easy and resolved all issues (intermittently would not turn on)

[@DIYtimeTech]

Great, thank you for sharing!

[@w_rxyz]

@NoTanFightFan I took a shot in the dark (and kind of an educated guess), and it worked for me. Your issues sound different, but the main logic board would be a good first target--certainly a lot less expensive than paying for a tech to come out and the high price they charge for them to pop in a board. Good luck!

[@s1dew1nd3r4]

mine is randomly turning on after i try turn it on about 20 times an then itl stay on for a bit an start the cycle and then just dies loses power and wont turn back on for a bit - any idea what it could be? i know when its going to work because i hear the click when you turn the plug socket switch on - and until it makes that click its dead. @@w_rxyz

[@riosmiguel]

Can you say the web site where you found the board description?

[@will2059]

Nice job. Did you happen to go back and find what happened to the 5 volts on the board?

[@DIYtimeTech]

No. The board didn't have any visible signs of damage, so I wasnt sure what part was broken. Plus it was filled with silicone to protect from water & moisture, so it would be pretty difficult to work on it anyway...

[@fespyanko]

My samsumg washer makes a sound when I push the main button to turn it on, but it doesn't start. if I keep trying for 100 times, sooner osr later it misteriously work 1 time out of a 100 tries. What might be the issue here?

HELP! I have a Samsung Front Load Washer (Model WF365BTBGSF 4.1 cu ft). Initially the machine displayed an error code (AE). I reset the machine. Removed the power cord and let it rest. I also reset the electrical breaker. It started back up and ran for the five minutes and shut down. The AE code no longer displays - the machine display simply goes blank and eventually powers down. The AE - fault code indicates a communication issue of the washers main components. I opened the machine, inspected it and decided to replace the main control panel (DC92-01527C) - RESULT: NO Change Machine started up initially but powers down after 60-90 seconds. I continues to do this, provided it is unplugged or the electrical panel breaker has been turned off (removing all power to the machine) for an extended period before turning it back on. My sense is there is a capacitor somewhere that needs to be replaced. I saw two small capacitors on the main board but my guess is they regulate power to the components on the PCB and there must be another regulating the motor.

[@DIYtimeTech]

You can try to find a specific diagram online for you washer PCB, and check if getting correct power. If not, look for any visual signs of blown capacitors.
