Samsung Front Load Washer Drain Pump Motor Fix 2 o

[@IBMAMcoe]

I fixed appliances for 12 years, but have not been exposed to the new front loaders since I got out to that business. My 8 year old Samsung gave the ND code and similar symptoms. THANK YOU for taking the time to make this it did a couple of things for me. a) Saved me some anxiety of learning how to take it apart to diagnose and IF I did it in the correct order... b) Got me familiar with the overall machine c) Helped me recognize I did not need to buy the WHOLE Pump (housing and all) d) Helped me get mine fixed FASTER than the authorized (local) service group e) Saved me some money... You did a GREAT job in ALL three video's !!!! Thank you again ! Jeff

[@WVUTampaAlum]

Jeff K Awesome write up Jeff! I think almost anyone can accomplish this fix. It only takes a little patience and a few basic tools.

[@HermanMarissen]

Thank you from the Netherlands. I bought a second hand machine on an auction and it did not drain. A lot of hard stuff came out of the drain, but still blocked and slowly draining. I solved it by putting a warerhose on the outlet and pumped water in (so the wrong direction) after that it drained well again.. Working flawlessly now. Nice video, compliments!

[@amalkumar2613]

I have replaced the PCB,drain motor,level switch still it's not completing program sequences

[@AimGobalWorldBibleSchool]

Thanks man...Good Job!

[@jwhoopi1417]

Thanks dude. Great video, had it running in a half hour. If you were here, I would buy you a beer.

[@tLopez4958]

to much work back panel off then bottom side 5 screws you fixed

[@danring505]

Thanks for the video...it helped me fix mine for 22.00 buying the part on Amazon. I would like to offer a few tips. While you have the front off take the time to also take out other hoses and clean them out. I could not believe all the gunk and junk that came out of them. They are easy to take out and clean.

[@kenhough9507]

NOOOOOOOO!!!! The video ends before the spring ring is put back around the rubber door part!!!! Little help with that would be super appreciated. Other than that, a huge thank you! Videos helped walk me through everything. Just have to get the ring back on now.

[@Keepingcalm14]

Great video! On a side note you don't need to buy the complete thing if the plastic housing is good. The motor unscrews from the housing and has its own part number. The complete thing is 70-100 dollars and the motor is 30 bucks. Just had to fix mine and figured that out after searching online.

[@WVUTampaAlum]

Great point.. and I think that I only replaced the motor itself and not the entire pump housing but should have made more of point about it.

[@trokerosolitario2811]

In my case did the complete assembly because of bad motor and damaged valve check for $49 in Amazon

[@Koko-qs8zx]

Good video. Thanks for posting. Worked like a champ! Kind of startled me when the video ended before putting on the spring keeper. It turned out to be a piece of cake though. 👍 Btw.... I bought an aftermarket pump and saved $50 bucks. Only problem was the pump was about 1/16 too wide and the plastic cover did not slip on as it should. I had to force it on. Worked out ok. Certainly worth $50 bucks for a small issue....

[@devins1195]

Thanks for making this. I changed my pump out and probably saved a couple $100.

[@henryretter1609]

Thanks for this great video. I was able to replace the water pump without hassle thanks to you.

[@WVUTampaAlum]

Henry Retter I'm glad it helped. Please subscribe!

[@giegiofoncho]

Great video thank you for taking the time .i have ssme model and have nd code wont pumt the water.

[@georgiafan6618]

Clicked on third video and got “This video is private” screen. No access. First 2 videos were good. I had more room to tilt the machine and accessed the pump through bottom of washer. Came out ok. Thanks for the videos. 👍

[@WVUTampaAlum]

Sorry I must have done that. I made it public

[@danielabraham8932]

Wonderful video I well help my gerfrind washer tanks

[@WVUTampaAlum]

Daniel Abraham If it helped please subscribe as youtube is demonitizing me (dropping me as a youtube partner) because I don't have enough subscribers. Thank you for your support!

[@txcrew5]

Great video I will be taking our washer apart in the morning I also have nd code to check out the pump & hoses

[@WVUTampaAlum]

Be sure to check the exhaust hose first. A few people have found obstructions (coins) in the line.

[@Rommeldito82]

Thank you so much! You just saved me $500...

[@houstondad2012]

This is a great video. thank you for teaching me.

[@leighyap5825]

This is perfect. I have the exact same model. Thank you!!!

[@jamesp9390]

you should also add that most times a nd code is a plugged screen, not a bad pump. remove the cap on the front of the pump and check it to make sure its not plugged. ive had my Samsung frontloader for almost 8 years, the pump finally went out today but ive cleaned that filter piece probably 2 dozen times for an nd code.

[@tdavidg9176]

I have this same model, bought in 2008 from Sears. It's been flawless until this last week. Keeps stalling at 11 minutes when it transitions to the rinse cycle and displays nd code (no drain). Sometimes I can get it to drain if I switch to spin only, sometimes not. With water still in unit sometimes it will start for a few seconds and then stall again. I did take it apart yesterday but found the front panel is a pain because of the door gasket. I was afraid I might damage it so I took back panel off and flipped it on its side. You can access from back and bottom. I removed hoses and cleaned them. There was some nasty black sludge that smells awful but not enough to clog it. I pulled motor and took it to work. (I am an electrician) It ohmed tested OK (14 ohms) and it ran on my test bench smooth and quiet (120vac) but I noticed it kept leaking dark colored smelly water. You can actually pry the rotor section out of the stator winding section. Once I had that apart I realized it was packed with sludge. The rotor shaft was worn and not sealing anymore which allowed the motor stator windings to get filled with water and sludge. It supposed to stay sealed, only the impeller blades should touch the water not the inside of the motor. I ended up ordering the exact replacement motor shown in this video off ebay for much less than Sears or other appliance parts outlets carry it for. Sears wanted $88.00 for it. I got it for around $30.00 and free shipping from a US supplier. Hopefully it works for me.

You probably dont care but does any of you know a tool to log back into an Instagram account? I was stupid forgot my account password. I love any help you can offer me.

[@salvadorrhett5078]

@Nikolai Archie instablaster =)

[@nikolaiarchie4869]

@Salvador Rhett i really appreciate your reply. I found the site on google and im waiting for the hacking stuff now. I see it takes a while so I will reply here later when my account password hopefully is recovered.

[@nikolaiarchie4869]

@Salvador Rhett it worked and I actually got access to my account again. I'm so happy:D Thanks so much, you saved my ass !

[@salvadorrhett5078]

@Nikolai Archie you are welcome xD

[@3436jesse]

Great Job!!! Thanks!!!👍

[@robburke8867]

That's great but I'd like the see the removal of the front panel. Great video though!

[@WVUTampaAlum]

rob burke Check my video description it has links to parts 1 and 2.

[@My_Business_Randall]

look for video one in the series..

[@lchicolo1013]

model wf419aa does not require you to lift up the machine. there are no screws underneath to take out.

[@FIRED13]

I have the wf419aa. What do you mean does not require you to lift up the machine? What are you trying to do?

[@rickplatinum9896]

It cut off right at the part that I need the most - how you got the wire / spring piece back on to hold the rubber door piece

[@WVUTampaAlum]

I have links in the description for the other video

[@D84D]

I've replaced the washer purge motor twice. btw the purge motor is faulty because if you leave the purge tube at full length and down into the wall drain it will cause it to back flow towards the lowest point which is the base of the washer thus leaving the pump face submerged in water. This leads to the pump leaking into to magnets inside the pump. It corrodes and the magnets crack and the polarity is compromised. The manual says to have the tube cut or at the right length just below the opening of the wall drain opening. They don't say it will f up your poorly made motor seal. Why would they?

[@WVUTampaAlum]

+Dave Mercado Great information Dave! I hope your latest fix last a long time.

[@kuponut84]

At 11:33, there's a plastic piece that you screw in. Is there way to remove just that plastic piece without taking of the whole front?

[@WVUTampaAlum]

That plastic bezel has only the 2 screws. It also basically clips in when pushed into place and I if you lift the washer you can pop it from the inside or maybe use a flat screw driver to pop it over the clip.

[@mwhiting76]

When I disassembled the pump from my washer, I pulled the impeller free from the motor and noticed a crack the entire length of the impeller shaft. Do you know if this is normal? I am assuming this is what has caused the failure....

[@WVUTampaAlum]

+mwhiting76 I did not come across this before.

[@mwhiting76]

+DIY Home Repair and Improvement OK, thank you. It does not look like it is the proper condition for the part but I thought I would ask anyway.

[@bigvin7537]

How did you figure out your problem was a pump not the bearing or anything else?

[@WVUTampaAlum]

+Big Vin I don't know that I would try fixing a bearing in that motor. Can you even find those parts.

[@johnanderson2805]

The pump can be disconnected from underneath without taking all the panel work off...cheers.

[@13spottie]

Yes much more easier. Remember black live and brown neutral.

[@tingyuegu9316]

I also did it without taking off the front control console and the door. However, I needed to remov the rubber boot around the drum. I was able to reach inside between the drum and front panel. Pump was removed via the large bottom rectangular access hole.

[@My_Business_Randall]

I would check and clean all the rubber hoses while you are there. Don't forget the 90 degree plastic fitting directly behind and to the right of the pump.. Mine was plugged with hair, grease and I have no idea how two floss picks got in there but they did..:( Pump may not have been bad after all. I bought two pumps. 1-OEm and one higher rated on amazon. I weighed both and put the amazon one in because it weighed 1.9 ounces instead of 1.7. Great logic huh?

[@real198113]

Before replacing the old draining pump i remember hearing the pump working although was not draining properly because after i took it apart found the propeler was damaged and after replacing it for the new one doesn't even work , really dont know what to do anymore

[@WVUTampaAlum]

+Robert Kent were you able to test electric current goes to motor? Can the prop spin freely or is it binding on something? Maybe new motor is bad.

[@orangutan324]

My Samsung washer m/# WF203ANS/XAC is flashing error code nd. According Samsung tech support my washer doesn't have the drain pump filter. I replace the drain pump any way. Still same error code. Fuse problem? Where is the fuse? Any other possibility? Please help.

[@brownie8235]

Sorry for old video.. Mine spins but the draining is very slow or not at all... Any ideas??

[@WVUTampaAlum]

Make sure your drain line is not clogged anywhere first. If that is not a problem my next guess would be the drain pump motor I changed in the video. My 'bad' one would not start but if I put a small screw driver in through the water drain I could turn it and it would start.

[@idenconzuelo529]

Replaced pump with a new one it runs and stops and it won't drain any other advise maybe a sensor that could cause the pump to stop

[@WVUTampaAlum]

Check that your drain line is not blocked.

[@WVUTampaAlum]

Did you get it figured out? It will run for a timed amount and stop. It will do this with water in the 'tub' or not. If the line is not clogged then the electric motor is most likely bad. Check if the plastic pump housing is badly worn this could cause the impeller to stop from turning. There is also a one way little rubber valve. Make sure it is not clogged.

[@real198113]

What could be wrong if after replacing the draining pulp still not draining?? Any Idea need help,,

[@WVUTampaAlum]

Robert Kent Could be ton of stuff. Do you even hear it run? Check exhaust line for obstructions. Read through the posts for some other ideas.

[@real198113]

DIY Home Repair and Improvement , Yeah it does work, it does the regular cycles, but as soon as it goes to drain it doesn't drain the water out, y tried a couple of times to drain it manually and after y get the water out by letting the hose on the floor , then it goes to the spinning cycle and finish a normal cycle, ,,

[@WVUTampaAlum]

Robert Kent you replaced the pump motor and it runs but does not drain at all?

[@real198113]

DIY Home Repair and Improvement yeah my friend , before replacing the draining pump it made a sound that was trying to do it, and now after a new one just stops at thst point and doesn't make a sound at all,

[@WVUTampaAlum]

Robert Kent Did you do electric motor only or entire pump? Check exhaust line and one way valve for proper function. Are impeller blades installed and spin freely and undamaged? Make sure electric wiring to pump is working.

[@klopez0407]

How do you finish

[@WVUTampaAlum]

+Katie Lopez Here is the link to the last video (3 of 3). kzbin.info/www/bejne/nobalH6qjM9rjpo There is a link in the description as well. Good luck!

[@tLopez4958]

long way lay the machine on its right side 5 screws and done

[@bigphat200]

The repair man has been out to my house 5 times with no fix. I get the no drain code 80% of the time

[@WVUTampaAlum]

Possibly a blockage in a line.

[@bigphat200]

When i pull the filter out about a gallon of water comes out. i use a large bowl to catch it.

[@WVUTampaAlum]

It could be a bunch of things. Drain motor going or blockage in the line are most likely. What has your service person said?

[@real198113]

Aniway to reset the machine bc doesn't work after replacing the draining pump

[@WVUTampaAlum]

I don't know of any reset for it. Is your entire machine out or drain just not working?

[@timguy161]

If you replaced the pump and the pump still does not move (no pump humming noise at the beginning) when you do a spin only cycle/run, your control board is not sending 120 VAC to the pump. Super easy to diagnose before any pump repair. Just take out the the front drain box/bezel/grey square plastic box where little drain tube is (just remove two screws, pry from left or right side). You will see the pump connector behind the bezel (for my Samsung WF218ANB/XAA washer). Unplug and use a multimeter to see whether the plug outputs 120 VAC when you do a spin only cycle. Everyone should do this before pump repair. In my case, pump still good after 9 years; control board not outputting 120 VAC to pump. Bought used board on eBay. It took less than 10 min. No need to remove the front aluminum control knob! Level 1/4 skill needed for board installation.

[@christinebrassard1200]

On voit rien ce que tu fais ouf

[@dereklogan100]

No multi meter testing? You can't tell if an open internal coil is the issue from a visual test??? You should remove this and appreciate the pro's.

[@WVUTampaAlum]

Great suggestion Derek. Let me guess. You are one of the pro's? Upload your video of how to test with multi meter and feel free to link back to my video.
