Very good video!! Lots of information delivered in a down to earth, easy to understand delivery👍👍👍

[@tanquantwal]

Thank you so much for this video. ❤The washing machine was filled with water and when I took the pipe off all of the water came out and it’s back working.😅. I thought I was going to have to buy another machine. Thanks again!

[@DuctTapeMechanic]

Most likely, there was a clog in the system. Glad I could help

[@michaelengle9062]

I've got a draining iss that is intermittent, about every 3rd time we run the machine. Got a 5C code on diagnostics and also a 4c but water pressure looks good. Will take the steps in this video to check. Could a vacuum locked drain line possibly be a cause also?

[@DuctTapeMechanic]

Yes, improper installation of the drain pipe can lead to issues. There are plenty of resources online how deep the drain pipe should be inserted into the drain. Could also he a partial blockage somewhere in the system.

[@82cardshark]

Thanks, just unplugged the drain. Back in business

Interesting with this washer I had a Samsung many years ago and it did the same thing .. seems these models do these things especially without the agitator. Several things went wrong eventually the warranty covered a new one they never did figure it out . Good going !

[@NakeshInc]

Nice repair. Your solder repair will be good for the remainder of this washer’s life. How much do you get for this type of washer in your area? Thanks.

[@DuctTapeMechanic]

Appreciate it. I always try to do a thorough job. This sort of machine will typically sell in a day at the $220-$240 range. My goal is clear inventory as fast as possible so I can bring more in and do more videos for the people!

[@1975aferr]

Thank you, Great video!

[@GetOutsideWV]

Fantastic video! Thanks for the help.

[@DuctTapeMechanic]

You're welcome!

[@GurmeetSingh-iw2dt]

nice to see you got your machine working my Samsung top loader the pump was packed up and replaced with the older machine I used to have now the water pump keeps running what must I do to fix it.

[@DuctTapeMechanic]

Try letting the pump run for a few moments. It may be in flood mode and need a few minutes to clear up. I would let it run for 5 minutes and see if it stops

[@ashleyskerston3538]

When I reached my finger into the Intake of the drain pump to make sure it was clear there is a plastic thing in there that blocks it. It seems like it is supposed to be there like a drain stop? Is that right?

[@akamia247]

Would it be the same reasons for a front loader?

[@StevePagano-y1z]

Great video , I have the same problem with control board being disconnected . What type of wire did you use to splice black /yellow wires together ? Speaker wire ?

[@DuctTapeMechanic]

I did not have to add wire, I just connected the two broken ends together with solder. If you feel uncomfortable soldering, just use butt connectors.

[@aminahtapfuma1756]

Right now my machine is almost full of water hw will i empty it😢

[@angelisone]

ATG & I suggest to use the Dry & Wet Vac. Or run a hose (about 7+ feet) into the tube & suck the other end to a bucket. You will have to disable or unluck (open) the lid to get hose into the tube.

Need help with front loader

[@meritaliaina1416]

When I took off the drain pipe a lot of water came out of it. What do that mean?

[@AmandainChrist88]

Hi I’m wondering could you give me advice . My amana washer is broken. My washer agitator is making a grinding noise and is not moving at all. In addition the wash gets stuck rinse . That is how I realized it’s not even moving the clothes .

[@angelisone]

You will have to go in the back to remove panel. Then maybe tip it on the side & have a look under washer Are you able to remove the center agitator? Reply with your email address here if you need more assistances.

[@emilythekiso1418]

Why it will stop and show the error sign later it will start and stop. Why .

[@angelcake4905]

My son over loaded ours and it comes on but it wont start a cycle . Has a little bit of water but i was wondering if you could tell me how to set it to drain ? Maybe try to set it to a cycle?

[@angelcake4905]

I did your test cycle from another one of your videos and it says 51 so it lead me here .. ty for your help

[@markrusselli3802]

Overloading wouldn't cause that..

[@AmandaHuerta-oo9xn]

[@mohammadhasibazimi2484]

[@gismad1]

[@veronicahernandez8739]

My washer stayed full of water what I do to drain it out?

[@CheesyBurgMan]

What I did was just get a bucket or large container or something and scooped all the water out. 😅

[@therooster1234]

Just shop vac the hose.

[@jd2799]

Disposable Appliances. Samsung…😢

[@DuctTapeMechanic]

Hopefully I can help save a few from the landfill!

[@jd2799]

You will! 😌👍

[@Gustamachio]

and sadly there are others much worse

[@mohammadhasibazimi2484]

How about Samsung front loader

[@DuctTapeMechanic]

I only work on top loaders right now. The front loaders are just too heavy for me to move around

[@angelisone]

@@DuctTapeMechanic Heck the top load is not exactly light. But you are correct the front load is way too heavy for me.
