My Samsung washer started doing banging noises when spin cycling, even with an empty drum, though it's not loose like that I suspect the spider is on its last leg after about 10 years, I'm going to replace the spider and bearings so this video is very helpful. Greetings from Portugal

I bought a Samsung EcoBubble unit not long ago and I wish I watched this video before. Although is a slightly newer & fancier model, that poor quality spider worries me a lot. I just hope they've put a good one in my machine. Very well explained, video is top. L.E: Apparently things a bit more complicated related with that spider. There is both an economic reason and one related to how physic chemistry works. Basically, are two metals that are giving and taking each other ions, each part with own electrical charge will get or give these elements. So, they figured out that a stainless-steel drum is more expensive than a drum spider to replace so the part to sacrifice has been chosen: the spider made of magnesium-aluminum alloy which will _feed_ in time the drum maintaining it shine. Of course, there is this idea of composite materials to be used, but paired with high grade stainless steel or other metals will increase the cost of the unit quite a bit. Collected the info above from reddit, various technical forums and a study I found on Research Gate website.

Hello Paul, very detailed washing machine explanation of equipment and functions and this guidance improved my understanding and other's skills too. I am wondering about level switch does control same , constant level or veritable level of each washing program, means, normal, heavy load etc. I have observed in machine level was same in all programs.

[@GThorpe]

Just found your site - outstanding. Reason i was looking was because my Samsung WF90F5E5U4W finally decided not to power up on Xmas eve. Had been stopping in middle of a wash but if turned off and left for bit would come back on and finish wash. Had a very kind washing repair man round who took the top off looked at it and said - common fault with logic boards and not worth repairing - didn't even check the fuse! I gave him his £30 call out fee and off he trotted. My question is - is it worth having a look at the boards - have been involved with electronics for many years so throwing away what looks to be a perfectly good machine does not sit well with me.

[@barmaleenko]

Nice manual! Thanks 👍. Any idea about UC error?

[@VickyBenSutcliffe]

Hi Guys fantastic videos. Our Samsung 8.0kg Eco bubble keeps stopping and shows and 3E error code. It does carry on when you resume again but is doing this increasingly often. Any help and advice where first to look would be massively appreciated. Thank you Ben & Vicky

[@jamespinder1804]

Brilliant video, I have a Samsung with an add wash door. Coming up with DDC code. I was going to inspect the wiring and plug at the main door hinge as movement in that seems to stop the code popping up sometimes. Got any videos on removing that door, or is it much the same?

[@Motherboard686]

This should be a reminder to do regular hot washes (60°C and higher). That not only keeps the machine clean and mould-free, but also lengthens the machine's lifespan by a very sizeable amount!

[@How-to-repair]

I totally agree with you I did a video on mould which emphasises what can come out of a machine that you think is clean. I've time to stamped it, so you don't have to watch the whole video kzbin.info/www/bejne/fp-2aWqKrJmUo68si=crDPbNobGyb6g63n&t=1702

[@xplysoon]

Hello! This video is great. I have a similar model and my drying issue is that it stops on 1 minute and takes longer to dry than before and when it does "end" and you open it, vapor comes out. Like it's not being able to remove the evaporated water. I opened the top cover and cleaned the heating system, fan and condenser back. The dryer worked great for the next 3 cycles and then it started again with the old problem. Any ideas?

[@sashakupetsky]

Paul, nice meeting you! Greetings from Moldova! Thanks for sharing your knowledge! Is 3E a motor problem only? Machine stops in midcycle doing nothing. I press start again and machine continues where it stopped. Once I did get 3E error though. Thinking to change the hall censor. Motor wires checked. Your opinion greatly appreciated!

[@iheggis86]

Any mid budget brand washer you would recommend buying new these days?

[@danreviewsitall]

very good video mate fair play

[@deebee3901]

They don't use stainless steel for the spider because they want you to buy a new washer every 5 years. If you insist to change the bearings and the spider, that will not be economic once you factor in the cost of parts and labour. The only way to sort out manufacturers is to have 3rd party ESG reporting similar to energy efficiency. Based on this video, on an ESG star rating that washer would get 2 out of 5 stars - 2 because at least you can change the bearings and spider unlike most other washers.

[@peterogr]

Hi. I had an open circuit solenoid that feeds the condensor and replaced it. All fine. However I notice at around 25 minutes into the video the "baffle" that is inline to the condensor is fitted in the opposite direction to the one shown in the video. Any ideas why that might be?

[@danielosrc9825]

I think at 32:51 is a clear proof they they want it to break so we would buy a new one. We could get around it to add less noble metal like zinc, but question how to connect it in between the metals. This solution is used on boats to protect more precious metals.

[@Hisense_lad]

Tried replacing the spider in mine as it broke the spider in these machines are so fine it corrodes as soon as detergent hits it really mines been apart so many times as the bolts holding the spider in keep coming loose lucky I brought some threadlock hopefully it cures it Would expect better though from such a expensive machine

[@andrewcutajar6221]

I agree 100% regarding stainless steel spiders! I had mine custom made for one of my projects, and it was 80 Euro (approximately £70). I searched for the original Samsung spider on a UK website, and it is roughly the same, sometimes even more expensive than the stainless steel one I bought! On another note, I was wondering, would a Vestel motor (made by Welling) fit the module of Indesit IWSC61251? The motor specifications appear to be the same, 17000rpm and 300W. Thanks in advance!

[@How-to-repair]

If the pin configurations to the windings and brushes are the same and everything else matches up, they should work, but I can't guarantee you because I have not got the motor in front of me to check

Do you need to take the entire washing machine apart in order to take out the drum? I have a WD10J6410AW/AX from samsung and the drum is loose so I want to see if I can take just the drum out to repair it without taking it all apart and risking losing pieces and not being able to put it all together again.

Hi Paul, thanks for the video. I have the same model and the drum is no longer centered. Everything works fine until it gets to the spin cycle-because the drum isn't centered, it won't complete the cycle. Do you think it could be the spider or something else?

I've got a stumper for you Paul. I have a samsung ecobubble washer 11kg WW11K8412OW. Replaced the spider. performed a calibration cycle. Now after a cycle the door latch clicks open and closed intermittently till it turns off, door is locked so you can't open it. You have to turn it back on for it to open, then it starts the cycle again while the door is open. I have two of these so I swapped out parts from the good one, swapped the main controller, display controller and the whole front panel/door. It still continues to click the door unlocked and locked after each cycle. Can't find anything on google or youtube even mentioning it. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Cheers from Oz

[@NRG450]

@@How-to-repair Thanks for the reply, But I swapped the whole front part of the washers, door and controller. The fault stayed on the same washer which tells me its not that. Think it may be a pump issue because its the only thing I haven't swapped out, other than the drum itself.

[@tolgaturhan2069]

The use of too much detergent will also cause damage to the spider and causes it to collapse, as the washing machines from nowadays uses very very little water to wash and rinse, detergent all remains in the machine when you use too much detergent because the machine uses less water and can’t rinse the detergent away. It will also cause damage to the bearing seal resulting in the seal to leak, and causing the bearings to die early.

[@px_Crp]

I agree that it the aluminium spider isnt the best choice in terms of durability. But simply saying that it wouldnt cost more to make it out of stainless steel is simply said than done. Not only is steel more expensive. The casting process is a little harder than aluminium. The added weight also affects the whole machine, you will need a more powerfull motor to get it spinning. Also all the added weight adds up to shipping costs, from part manufacturer all the way to the end supplier.

Electrolysis is normally the main problem but also water hardness and the type of detergent are you using can also affect it but without knowing what type of water you have it’s hard for me to comment. I would also make sure the machine is well earthed
