I watched another video before this one where the guy took the top and front of the machine off to get to the drain pump. He seemed to be an experienced repairer but unless I’m missing something he was really overcomplicating the whole process to the point I was wary of doing it myself. After watching this video it seems much more straight forward so I guess I have a job to do tomorrow. EDIT: I commented on that other video and he said you risk water getting into the electronics panel if you lay the machine down. He said he has 38yrs experience and that he did it the way “GOOD engineers” do it.

They are prob different models

[@jacobpaint]

@@420jsimon no, I left a comment on his video asking if there was a reason and he said there was a risk of water getting into the control panel if you lay it on its side. He then said that's how all “GOOD engeneers” do it. I have seen other videos where they do it that way but I felt I was more likely to damage the machine by doing it his way and went in through the bottom to get to my drain pump. I did leave the machine propped up at a slight angle though. It would seem that his concerns are based on something unlikely and that a slight angle should account for it but I’m not an expert… fixed my machine, recalibrated it and its working fine… for now.

Thank you! Didn't need to change the drain pump but our washing machine just randomly stopped draining and wouldn't work. Turns out there was a big hard bit of lint collected in the drain pump stopping it from working. Took a couple of hours and a lot of blue air but this fixed it. Clear and easy to follow instructions!

[@eSpares]

[@PrakashPatel-ps8vt]

[@paranoiameans]

Thank you for the video! Saved my day! In my case piece of gravel somehow bypassed filter and stuck in the drain pump halting it's operation. After removing it everything works again.

You are a gem. My Samsung just started making really loud pneumatic drill sounds after 3 years and after getting no solution from Samsung (other than contact details for a service call - Guarantee has run out of course), I took a closer look. The draining pump is the culprit. It is rotating but making a lot of noise and the program won't start as a result. I'm hoping its just clogged (not visibly from the front unfortunately). If not I'll need to get an address for spare parts in Germany. Looks like I have exactly the same model,(Ww70j5435fx Eg )which is great. Thank you so much.

[@soulmate702000]

It's even better, just gave the pump a few twists with a screwdriver from the front forcing the rotation and now it's all working again. Soooooo happy LOL

[@adelinagashi4144]

Hello did you have error 5C? And did it work to change the part?

[@minkthegreat]

​@@eSpares Thank you, yes you gave me the confidence to take the washing machine apart, I belive in keeping electrical devices going as long as possible, (I will admit i'm 38 and never knew how to use a washing machine, shortly after I fix it I asked the othe half to show me) laught all you want but you gave me confidence to fix the machine and wash my own clothes THANK YOU ❤

[@minkthegreat]

​​@@adelinagashi4144 Yes 5C error, fixed after parts changed

[@JuuceSam]

During a cycle, are the drain pump and the circulation pump supposed to be activated at the same time? When running a rinse and spin cycle (without water being connected) I see that one of them doesn't spin. I assume both are supposed to work in tandem cycle and drain...

[@robertwill1694]

I watch a lot of video and this one is the best one the rest of the video I watch pull the hold machine down

[@eSpares]

Hi Robert, thanks for your comment...it's great to hear you like our video, and we hope it has helped you to fix your washing machine!

[@NeilDomoney]

The second pump has two wires connected to it a black wire and grey wire. What colour wire connects to the live terminal?

[@Docv400]

Many thanks for posting this. Our Washer recently stopped Draining, turned out to be a small piece of straw or similar stopping the Impeller from Rotating. Cleaned it out, all good now. I was thinking it might be the PCB at fault . . . £££

[@eSpares]

Hi, thanks for your comment, it's great to hear that such a quick and easy check of the impellor area has meant that you have now got your washing machine draining again...glad we could help!

[@Docv400]

@@eSpares I could have done it without the video to be honest, I've repaired a few Machines in the last few decades, but it's always helpful to have a 'heads-up' of the layout, and the little details. Thanks again.

[@ilightglobal2167]

Thank you. this video was super useful. Some beads were stuck in my pump and started working after cleanup

[@eSpares]

Hi, thanks for your comment. It's great to hear that you found the cause of the issue, and that our video helped you get your washing machine back up and running again!

Hi, I have disassembled the pump, how can I tell that the pump is actually broken?

[@nursyazwani5379]

Hi..this method can apply to 2in1 wash&dryer samsung?

[@nasrulrizal]

Puan, same problem ke? Already fixed? Mine the same, cannot drain water.

Tukar waterpump utk drain out sbb pumpnya dah rosak. Nasib baik still under waranty.

[@tonixzepol7336]

Hi is this drain pump run by 220 volts?

[@karisabas]

Just got the wives bra wire out! Thanks

[@richrobertsuk]

😂😂 done this more than once!

[@tonylynch]

Hi this is a great video but you don’t make it clear which colour connector goes where when connecting the circulation pump. There are 2 wires and th3 quality of the video is not enough to clarify this. Shame as I’m almost home!

[@warrensteel9954]

It's alternating current, so it shouldn't matter.
