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.

[@danm94]

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.

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?

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!

Very good video. Can the metal bearing holder that sits inside the plastic outer housing be fixed. The bearing holder has 6 metal fins on which it slides into the plastic outer drum. This is loose in our machine.

[@rotaruiulian]

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 wonder how could I recenter the drum? Thanks in advance!

[@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

[@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

Hi, really great video but one question : I have a samsung WF0714Y7E and need to access the tube that go from drum to the filter part (error 5E and I know the problem is here, we washed a carpet and it loosed a lot of him inside the machine) but I can't remove the front panel and not saw screws at the bottom of the machine. Do you know what avoir me to remove the panel ? Thank you very much, all the rest was quite easy to found by myself ;)

[@Golden_Projects]

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.

[@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

[@andrewcutajar6221]

[@Coenani]

First of all: love the videos! Second: Maybe you know the solution for my problem. My machine recently started making a pinging/snapping sound, and it's only there when the drum turns and the belt is on. I've replaced the belt using your videos, but that didn't solve it. I checked the belt and wheel for burrs and can't find any. Do you know what it might be? The last video on my profile is a short clip of the sound.

[@How-to-repair]

Thanks very much for sending us the video. I think I have the answer for you. Take a look at this post I created for you. www.how-to-repair.com/help/faqs/samsung-ww80j6403ew-ecobubble-pinging-snapping-sound-on-belt-wheel/

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?

[@rafalkotyk8692]

Thanks for the video, if i record and send to you a sound it will you be able to tell me what is it?

[@How-to-repair]

upload to youtube then send link

[@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.

[@Mortenstergaard1978]

Paul i just did a Bearing exchange, on a 8 Kg ecobubble no problem , but! when i wanted to start it again, i just making a humming sound from the pump, tested the differents things and can do a water test , everthing works when in test mode, but found the E1 error when turning the knob left, is there a sensor for water level?

How do you remove the moisture sensor screw? Mine was factory tight, tried tapping the screw head with hammer , spray with wd40, heating and counter twist, still non of it works

[@danielosrc9825]

I think at <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="1971">32:51</a> 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.

[@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.

[@adamin4496]

Help me plz , i have bought samsung 9 kilos silver one .the same day the washing machine during spinning was so high ,the company came and said that the main circuit is displaced from its place and he use the screw driver to do that ...and the sound get smoother but not affordable CAN you guide me if that fault is the reason behind the noisy sound ...iam frustrated fr.the age of my washing machine is is 10 days still under warrenty to change it ...but the company said the sound is not noisy ...if i can send video plz provide me with email .thanks for ur valuable efforts .what should i do ?

[@NRG450]

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

[@How-to-repair]

This is normally either a bad connection on the door lock the door lock might not be aligning correctly or a faulty door lock but trying to help remotely is very hard for me to assist

[@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.

My Samsung has already suffered the spider replacement twice !!!! The original one withstood 6 years. The replacement only lasted 4 !!! I have just replaced it and i know that in 4 years it will collapse as well. Shame on you SAMSUNG. But anyway; great video !!! PS. Does anyone have a clue how to extend the spider's lifespan ? I’ve heard about some strange attempts like resin coating or painting, Others claim it will only make things worse as the moisture will fill the potential cracks leading to faster corrosion ..... ant thoughts ?

[@How-to-repair]

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

[@tomcox5548]

I have a problem with my Ecobubble washing machine, where is trips the house electrics about 10 seconds just after pressing start. any ideas? I looked at the loading door lock but looks as though that works ok. (Took the switch apart and watched the thermo strip move to the lock position, just as it gets there the power trips)

[@How-to-repair]

First thing to check is the motor. If it's the old version with carbon brushes, then this could be the problem second do you want to check the heating element? I've got videos on all these on the channel
