How To Fix Samsung Washing Machine 3E error

[@malyboyle223]

You made my day mate. I checked the brushes, notice they were short arses, pulled them out a tad ,put back together and wackydoo all worked as it should. Thanks a bunch 🙂

[@askmrwashywashy]

Welcome glad it helped ya

[@sirchambers691]

You the man, had 3e error, pulled off brushes, one was well short, swapped them over and boom works. Ordered new ones for £7. THANKS ALOT

[@askmrwashywashy]

welcome glad it worked.

[@Chris_Richard]

Have link to where you bought them? Thanks

[@adrianhinton6899]

Thanx Kyle. After seeing your comment I swapped the top and bottom brushes over and away she went.

[@iansmith1776]

Is swapping them over a good idea?

[@drog1999]

I called samsung and they wanted to change the hole motherboard, i watched the video and got new brushes and installed them and it worked, thank you man ♥️

[@kyleshillitto7767]

Currently three minutes in , and I love this video already. Comments sold me.

[@adrianhinton6899]

Awesome video dude. We picked the machine up off the side of the road, Googled the error code and thanks to your video got the old girl humming like a bird. Swapped the top and bottom brushes over and an off to find new brushes tomorrow. So for the cost of the brushes we have a new second hand washing machine that retails new for about 900 Australian dollars

[@WinterHunter-ki9vo]

I have a ecobubble Samsung washing machine. My machine puts a code 3E motor error. Following your instructions I searched for brushes to change, has none. BUT I took out the two pumps and one of them was filled with papers, so I unblocked an cleaned it. After that it keeps putting out the error BUT only if I put a temperaturemore than 30 degrees Celsius. What now?

[@SebastianTcp]

Brother. Thank You so Much. Our washing machine stopped spinning and after running it in diagnostic mode it came up with E3 error. Now I'm not a master engineering but I can tinker with some screws :) so I ordered new brushes and replaced them as instructed and everything works fine. God Bless you My Friend.

[@askmrwashywashy]

Welcome glad this worked out for you

[@jeffbeck6501]

I had the 3E error on my Samsung washing machine and the filter was pretty clogged, so I cleaned it. I had to put a pizza pan to catch the water, and empty it about 10 times, to empty out all the water in the machine. I cleaned out the filter and put it back, and it still has the 1st light blinking on and off. I no longer have the 3E error, but the machine goes for about 2 minutes and then stops, and just sets there for about 10 minutes and then goes a little bit more, like another few minutes, and then stops again. The 1st light, like perhaps a water filling light, is blinking. Any ideas? Thanks.

[@jeffbeck6501]

I just cleaned the drum, and it seems to be working, and draining very well.

[@rebeccataylor5982]

I have a 3E coming up my washer, the drum wont spin and makes an awful noise trying to, the drum also seems loose and im not sure what to do

[@Asafo4daPeople]

i was hoping you had a solution for me but my washer has a stator motor rotor or whatever in the back. No carbon brushes on wf419aaw/xaa

[@thomascandlish9627]

Absolutely spot on mate. Managed to wiggle a little more life out of mine until a replacement arrives. Thanks so much!

Hello we have a Samsung washing machine model number wf600b0bkwq in this motor not have a carbon brushes what we have to do tell me that3E showing error code in the display Tq...

[@askmrwashywashy]

Hi this one has an invertor motor. Usually with these it’s the contacts on the main board that have come loose, the soldered connection is broken. Unfortunately I haven’t done a video on one yet but there are plenty on KZbin at the moment

[@sreihart]

So I have this model and the motor isn't on the same side. Could it be on the upper part? I have Samsung Model WF3S8AAWXAA 02

[@MrIter2010]

my washer model is : WF431ABP/XAA 04, DOES THIS MODEL IS AS SAME AS YOUR MODEL? CAN i ALSO CHANGE THE CARBON BRUSHES TO SOLVE THIS PROBLEMS? THANKS!

[@SPANISHmonk54]

I have a way different model of motor, I've got a wf42h5000aw/a2 how would i go about fixing an 3e error on mine

[@askmrwashywashy]

Yours has a computer that controls the motor. You would need to replace that and the motor

[@djcolossus1873]

Did you ever find a solution?

[@normanmcauley6353]

Hi - great help - just wondering - I am getting a noise (sounds like from the pump you were pointing out) before 3E code appears. It looks clear but is there any possibility of stuff having got into the pump itself?? If so, what can I do??

[@askmrwashywashy]

hi thanks for reaching out. You will need to grab a torch open the filter cap and put the washer on a spin cycle. During that cycle have a look down there where you took the filter cap off to see if the pump is spinning freely. If nothing is there a noisy pump that still spins indicates you need a new one as its not spinning fast enough to drain the water in the allocated time.

[@normanmcauley6353]

@@askmrwashywashy Thanks for your prompt reply. I did that and whilst there was a little noise, the actual main drum itself didn't even spin, so I will investigate the carbon brushes further with the help of your video.

[@askmrwashywashy]

@@normanmcauley6353 welcome. I’d say check the brushes and take it from there. Let me know how you go

[@normanmcauley6353]

@@askmrwashywashy Just wondering - How long would you normally expect these brushes to last in normal circumstances?? (just 2 of us!) - I am sure the machine is only ~5 years old.

[@askmrwashywashy]

@@normanmcauley6353 Depends on how often you wash in a week. The more often you wash the faster they wear. 5 Years would be about the time you need to replace the brushes. You would want to replace them possible at 3-4 years to avoid them wearing down to the wires and then possibly burning out your main board

[@shanalnath1390]

Hello mate - great video. Did as instructed and she worked a treat. Saved me from having to buy a new one. Samsung WF1752WPC - showed a E3 error. Replacement brush cost me AUD$16 on eBday. Took less then 5min. Hardest part was flipped it over. I’ve done a drum clean and handed it over to the mrs to clear up the back log of unwashed cloths. Great video - keep up the good work. Cheers

[@askmrwashywashy]

awesome glad to hear you sorted it out.

[@elrunnerdave]

the ebay link is no longer working, can I please the spec of the brushes to source them myself? thanks a lot

[@askmrwashywashy]

Hi sorry about that will get it sorted soon. Type on eBay carbon brushes for Samsung washing machine. Type in your washer model number as well this will help

[@donnahyland-p1p]

Thank you, it was the brushes. First one looked ok but other was badly worn, I order a pair of Amazon last night and it’s back up and running in less than 24hrs Thanks Again

[@humpfrees]

Hi, our motor looks different everything is incased and I can't locate the brushes. Thoughts?

[@humpfrees]

Ok....it's a brushless motor, so if the filters clean then it's a computer problem?

[@askmrwashywashy]

@@humpfrees hi what’s your model number ?

[@alexmcwalters4293]

Thanks for the tip about accessing the motor from the base of the machine, saw another video accessing the motor from the rear and taking the motor out, a right pain. Fitted the two carbon motor brushes from the base of the machine, no need to remove the motor or the drive belt.👍👍Samsung eco bubble lives again, all for a pair of £16 carbon motor brushes, I hope the brushes last .🤣 thanks again. 👍👍👍

[@askmrwashywashy]

welcome glad it helped

[@charlesroussety5596]

Where can I get the carbon brush

[@flokyshah5877]

Hi, in my case the brush look fine, what might be the issue?

[@askmrwashywashy]

hi check the motor where the brushes sit, might be too much carbon buildup. Also make sure you have replugged brushes back in. Apart from the the main board might have a problem

[@flokyshah5877]

@@askmrwashywashy Hi, thanks for replying, i checked the motor separately and it is working it seems either issue with PCB or Tachometer.

[@askmrwashywashy]

@@flokyshah5877 yeah might be pcb or tachometer

[@adamnoyce5304]

Hi great video and I have replaced the carbon brushes and the 3E error has gone away and the drum spins but it does not spin at full speed leaving the clothes too damp. Would you know the reason for this?

[@askmrwashywashy]

Thanks , glad you could sort out that spinning issue. Couple of things might be causing the clothes to stay damp. The drain pump might be a bit old, so its not pumping out water fast enough. Other thing is how much is your wash load ? Optimum load would be about halfway up the door. What Rpm is it spinning at 1200 or 800 ?

[@askmrwashywashy]

@Tech Tech can you turn the drum barrel by hand ?

[@askmrwashywashy]

@Tech Tech Double check your wiring connections. If that doesn't work the board might be blown and you need two replace it

[@askmrwashywashy]

@Tech Techwow I’m so glad you were able to sort it out. I’ve learnt something new today 👍good on ya

Welcome. Might be the new brushes bedding in. Should disappear after a few washes

[@SionEdwards-k9u]

Hi mate,had an engineer out,who eventually changed the complete motor.Still went,and continues to go to E3. It still works ,but still goes to E3 four out of every five washes,driving me insane.The engineer says the fault must be with the pcb,and advises to buy a new machine.Sounds drastic when everything else works ok

[@askmrwashywashy]

Hi yeah it’s a bit weird would’ve changed the board and not the motor in that case. Seems like a waste of a good motor and money now.

[@jonesy701]

Legend, thanks for video. Checked the brushes and the carbon dust had clogged the aperture. The machine is running again, but I'm ordering new ones now....❤

[@swarlsbarkley2868]

Fixed. Wouldn’t have known about this without your video. Tricky to find the carbon brushes for my model but I bought similar looking ones then popped the casing and swapped the carbon. Pile of dirty clothes being washed right now plus I’ve cleaned the filter and waste pipe! Thanks!
