Samsung washer faults
The same nine faults cover most washer calls, whatever the badge on the front says.
01Won't spin
What usually causes it
Usually the lid switch or door lock has failed, the drive belt has stretched or snapped, or the machine is refusing to spin because it never finished draining. On direct-drive models a worn shifter or a bad motor-control board is the next place to look.

What usually causes it
Most often a sock, coin or wire has reached the drain pump and jammed the impeller. After that it is a clogged drain hose, a failed pump motor, or a pressure switch that never tells the board the tub is still full.

What usually causes it
Front loaders usually leak at the door boot once it tears or fills with debris. Top loaders more often leak at the inlet hose, the tub seal or a cracked outer tub. Where the puddle starts tells us most of it.

Book a repair04Won't start
What usually causes it
Often the door or lid lock, which most machines will not run without. Beyond that it is the start switch, the user-interface board, or a supply problem such as a tripped breaker feeding only half the circuit.
Book a repair05Making loud noise
What usually causes it
A rumble or grind that rises with the spin is usually the tub bearing or the drive pulley. A rattle at one point in the cycle is more often something hard trapped between the drum and the tub.

06Runs but no heat
What usually causes it
On electric dryers this is usually a blown heating element or a tripped thermal fuse, and a tripped fuse almost always means restricted venting caused it. On gas dryers it is more often the igniter or the flame sensor.
Book a repair07Won't start
What usually causes it
Commonly the door switch, the start switch or the thermal fuse. A dryer that hums without turning usually has a seized blower wheel or a failed motor start winding.
Book a repair08Won't tumble
What usually causes it
Nearly always the drive belt, which snaps and leaves the motor running freely. Worn idler pulleys and drum rollers are the next candidates, and they are what wore the belt out.
Book a repair09Takes too long to dry
What usually causes it
Almost always airflow. A lint-packed vent run, a crushed transition hose or a blocked exterior flap will double a cycle time long before any component has actually failed.
