This video has been really helpful. I got a UC error on my unit WD10J6410AX/FQ (Samsung says that's due to irregular voltage). Back in 2020, I contacted their customer service and they blamed it on poor electrical circuitry of my house (it wasn't). Thanks to this video, I gathered enough confidence to finally open up my washer-dryer unit myself. I had 0 electrical/electronic works experience. Anyway, I visually inspected the insides and I was shocked, not by runaway electrical current, but by the poor internal design. Cables and connectors are not protected by corrosion. I felt with my hands the brown insulator block? (cardboard? ceramic? clay?) that's located in front of the drum and it was damp! The unit has at least 1 hole that mice, lizards, insects can easily crawl into. The hole looks like a convenient place where you can hang the water outlet hose too - and when you've used the machine long enough, that hose is going to have residual detergent that will drip into the unit. So the occurence of corrosion or electrical faults on this machine is really just a matter of time. I then visually inspected the resin-filled mainboard (I'm just going to say resin, it's plasticky, doesn't appear to be pliable). I saw discolouration near the connector holes on the PCB (where wires are joined and soldered behind to form a complete circuit). That might be due to rust - they look brown to me. But can I know for sure that they are the ones causng problems? No, because the entire PCB is "protected" by said resin. I can't take the PCB out from its housing without also breaking the resin "seal", a term which I use lightly since it clearly isn't moisture-proof. The seal also means I can't perform any meaningful diagnostics. All these factors lead me to conclude that I should just call time of death for this unit. I've already spent the equivalent of 200 pounds getting the drum replaced last year. I can't spend an extra 200 pounds for a refurbished PCB that I won't know for sure will solve the issue right? Looking at the cable mismanagement of this unit (the general messy layout and the inadequate insulation at the terminals in an operating environment that's damp), it's very likely that other circuits could be compromised as well or soon would be. And I just don't want to deal with individually checking them. It's just easier for me to elect to not buy Samsung anymore. And I haven't since 2020. My current washer is a Bosch. I just bought a gaming monitor that's an LG. My air-conditioning unit is a York. My NVME SSD is a Western Digital. I'm going to get a Sharp or a Toshiba for my fridge soon. And for the first time I'm seriously considering getting an iPhone to replace my Samsung Galaxy smartphone. Anyway, I hope you continue doing this good work. It helped me to finally lay this issue to rest. I truly appreciate you sharing your knowledge here and I know others do too.

Thanks for this invaluable video. I got PCB out and got code. I have ordered a refurbished part. Couldn’t have done it without your help. Great result, saves money and reduces landfill 👍🏻

Just did this fix on my machine with the same symptoms and it worked perfectly after installing the relay. Have to say getting the old relay out was a bit of a job and I had to cut out the plastic to get to the soldered joints but it worked OK. Thanks Dean saved me a couple of hundred pounds👍

Thanks to your video , I was able to replace the PCB with a second hand one from EBay for 45£. Samsung were charging me £108 for call out charges and £175 for the PCB !

Thank you!! All your videos have a wealth of solid information and advice... my machine is broken and I now have the confidence to try and fix it. However, I may be naked doing so (TMI..I know) I'm elderly , have 3 grown sons"existing"at my home... leaving everything for me to "try"to repair. They'll deserve the sight they can't erase!😂😅

Thanks to this extraordinary dude I’ve fixed my Samsung by replacing the pcb....fantastic thanks

Brilliant stuff! My Ecobubble was stopping at random times in random programmes. Some programmes were okay and some got a minute or 4 mins in and then the drum would look like it was struggling to turn. I knew that the problem wasn’t with the drum as it would turn fine in some programmes. I did the dignostics and everything else was fine so narrowed it down to the motherboard. Found a complete front fascia complete with motherboard on eBay for £35 and fitted it in ten minutes. Just the one big connector to swap over. Took me longer to get the top off and the soap drawer out! Your videos are brilliant as I wouldn’t have had a clue without it and maybe resorted to buying a new machine as I wasn’t going to pay £200 quid for a new fascia/motherboard and then pay to have it fitted!

Your are a core person of product understand technically. Your doing really nice work to guide tech and support very clearly and small small things your explain . I like the way explain and i am a fan of yours . I am from india also repair everything every electronic products . Same way always i try to explain with anyone. I wishes for your channel to grow more and more Sir 🙏

Thank you for the valuable video. I successfully replaced my control panel and it worked perfectly. I used eBay and paid less then 50 with shipping and tax. Great deal! Thank you so much! Was really pretty easy to do.

I've been looking for this kind of video for months now. Just need to find a circuit board 😂. Thank you 👍🏽

Thanks mate, my daughter's machine locked up to one program and stuck on 51 mins, fault remained even after unplugging for a day. The two button and power procedure brought up diagnostics. Had no idea what I was looking at, so turned it off and on again, now all good. Thanks again

Thanks for the video, bought a new pcb and was an easy fix. Much better than scrapping it. Well put together video thanks

Thank you Paul - I have successfully replaced the PCB and motor on my Samsung EcoBubble 8kg machine. Enjoy the beer!! Live long and prosper.

such a complicated way to pronounce aluminum. hehe....I agree totally, and you are a breath of fresh air when you say we need to repair these machines. Most people love their machine they have used for 5-10 years or more an the last thing they want to do is buy another brand new machine and deal with disposing a good machine they loved that has a simple bad part that could be easily fixed, but can't see paying to repair it when a new machine is $200.00 more. This has gotten out of hand lately and it's nice to have people here to help that actually care.

Brilliant, found a cheap PCB swapped it in and we're back in business! Thanks for the vid!

Hi dear master.it is a very good channel for learning how to fix washing machine for me.thanks alot. From iran.

Fantastic channel. Bravo for the great videos. We need more folks like you to save the waste of unrepaired appliances. Thanks so mich for the help,

I was finding our washer intermittently failing to progress mid-cycle, and also occasionally giving error 3C (motor RPM sensor I believe). Sometimes it would pass the self-diagnostic, sometimes immediate 3C on the spin test. Continuity test revealed one of the wires in the cable from the control board to the RPM sensor was faulty; I replaced just that cable, and the 3C error seemed to go away. Still getting failure to progress sometimes though. Guess I need to investigate more, before considering replacing the PCB.

Thank you for this video, you’ve saved me having to buy a new machine. I managed to source a reconditioned pcb which I fitted this afternoon, all good so far 😊

Thanks for good explanation on how to come up with a better solution without costing a lot.may God bless you more sir

Thanks, fantastic work. Have ordered a refurbed part. Love your environmental message, keep it going!

Thank you for sharing the video. You have done a great job for many. It’s very helpful. Well done sir 👏👏👏

If only there were more channels like this that encourage the use of second hand parts etc. Grab the health and safety aspect firmly by the testacles and throw that in the garbage bin, together with the "fear" exponents of the "H&S trumps everything" try to get us with. A very worthwhile video brilliantly presented. Thank you so much.

Brilliant videos,I think I’m gonna have to buy a new machine at the end of the day, I’ve watched a good few of you videos on the Samsung eco bubble and definitely won’t by another Samsung.

Great video, best regards from Argentina, I Fix my Samsung machine, Amazing video !

thanks my uncle will be so happy to fix his washing machines😀😃😃😀😃😀😃😀😃

Great tutorial, many thanks for sharing your experience and for all the hard work to produce the video. Keep up the good work.

Complimenti per il tuo modo esplicativo ed esaustivo,ho un grande problema la mia lavatrice Samsung WF 906P4SA NON SI ACCENDE PIU'.Dopo avere controllato i collegamenti alla rete , ho testato il filtro antidisturbo ed è funzionante.Questa lavatrice ha due schede elettroniche ,una posta sul frontale (scheda comandi) ed una posta in basso vicina al motore (scheda potenza),secondo te quale delle due è guasta?

I would try cleaning the filter at the front and check the grey waste at the back isn’t blocked by blowing down it and then suck the water until it comes to the end of the pipe , it tastes gross so have a beer handy , this cured my after stopping mid cycle 🤷🏽‍♂️🍺

Thank you, absolutely amazing, I too do not want to contribute to land fill sites unnecessarily. If I can fix it, I will certainly try ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

This is a common known defect on the ecobubble. In most cases it will not complete the centrifugation cycle, or even start it. The chips on the controll board deliberately have a very limited lifespan as they overheat due to the way samsung designed the PCB. Planned absolescence if you ask me. Ordering a used one, will therefor again only last you a limited time. Buying a brand new one will set you back 200 Euro's. That's almost half the cost for a complete new ecobubble. I'd stay far away from the ecobubble. Should you decide to buy one regardlessly. Buy the extra warranty, as you're gonna need it. Or since you're gonna spend that extra money anyway, just buy a better brand. Miele, Bosch, Siemens, AEG. They cost more on the short term, but will save you money on the long run. All washing machines will wear down on mechanical parts eventually. But they shouldn't fault that easily, let alone on non- replaceable roms. And not at all within three to four years, which is not long after the 24 month warranty.

Thanks for talking right to repair.

Hi my Machine saying DC error I have check look but still same . if I replace the second board, the one is doing in a video.will sort the issue?

Very helpful video sir keep it up

I came across this likely issue, i opted not to bother and buy a new machine. It was coming up to about 8 years old and needed something bigger anyway. Good video though.

Brilliant advice. Thank you.

Hi Sir, i got a samsung front loader washing machine with direct drive, with less cloth it still can works well, but whenever comes heavier load, it just jam as the video shows. Not sure whether is the PCB issues, but will try to replace. 😀 Another question would be raised as: how to find out the broken parts if diagnose mode shows all is normal ?

Great Video, I have this problem, but also I occasionally get a 3E error and also occasionally the UC error. I also get the UC error on the tSt setting. I have already changed the Brushes after getting the 3E error. I’m wondering if I should change the Main Control Board, I’ve found a second hand one for £50. Do you think I should take the gamble given the UC error ?

I've owned Samsung washing machine eco bubble for 7 years I'm having some issues guarantee run out but inverter states 10 years does that include the carbon brushes? Also probably at stage of replacing but seen your video on rear of drum not fit for purpose and noted many having seal problems and Samsung doesn't seem to want to replace items under warranty so concerned about PCB which mine maybe or carbon brushes. Not convinced Samsung rear of drum, PCB and seal and customer service. So do you recommend a washing machine brand with good guarantee and customer service? Thanks for video I think that's what's wrong with mine but not sure economically worth repairing as it's over 7 yrs old

Hi, I have something similar. My machine is stuck at 9 mins but when I ran the automatic test mode, I saw that at the 10th step (which unlocks the door) it doesn't unlock and I immediately have the error code "SF" If I reboot and redo the test mode, at the step one (where's the door locks) it doesn't lock. I removed the lock mechanism and everything seems perfectly fine. SF in the manual means Main PCB error... Should I change it or I need to check something else before doing that ?

You are a great KZfaqr. But please just try to show us how to isolate the bit on the PCB that does not work. Show us where to start. I stead of giving Samsung more money.

hey, maybe you can scratch my curiosity itch. im dealing with a samsung 1904, pretty much the same pcb. this one has an issue where the drain pump is not getting current. weirdest part it is, it tests 220v (we use 220v here) between either pump terminal and 1 of the line terminals from the power cord (writing this i realize i should have chekced if it was line or neutral, but does not change the fact the both pump terminals are testing 220v against one line "pole"). im pretty much giving up on that board, but im very curious as to why im getting this measurements. in fact, at some point i got 110v at the pump terminals. that was one time thou. so yeah, im betting on a busted board.

Thank you for this video. Have the same problem. When the machine gets to 59 mins on a daily wash it stops or trips the house circut board. However when i did the check to go to test mode i get the -: face. So i feel it is the board that is faulty. But could it be the heater element also? Thoughts PLEASE. Cheers. Ps there is a flashing red key that is constant on the screen?

Very helpful information thank you

awesome, thank You for sharing this disassembly with us :-)

Great video, very helpful. Thanks

Thank you or the video!

So how does the PCB go bad in the first place?

Hi what other than motor would prevent this machine from turning over in any mode? I can't even seem to get it into diagnostic mode

first class work and advice.excellent.

What a brilliant series of videos, thank you! I have a Samsung wd80j6410aw. The temperature display has been pixelated for some time and now we are unable to change (+/-) the temperature manually. The heater works as it performs washes at high temperatures but we don't always want high temps of course. Is this likely to be a main PCB issue and does this contain the display which is pixelated? Many thanks!

I'm utterly frustrated with my 5 Yr old Samsung ecobubble. Labour and circuit board will cost around £250.00 just to get the signal going back to the drainage pump. So annoyed.

That frowny face..... Was the new sign for smart control setup.... I scraped a freaking flexwasher with that issue. If you open smart things on your phone it'll interact with it when it has that face on the display

I can't get the top cover off after removing the back screws. I even plied the two metal "lips" on the side that keep the lid down trying to open it. Is there anything on the front that needs to be unscrewed/unclipped? It's the same model as the one in the video WW80J5555MW/ET

Great video. I just removed my PCB unit. Now I need to order the new one. I do have one question though. Looking through common faults, this is a reoccurring problem with a lot of machines so I was wondering if it is worth getting a used component. It might last a few weeks!!! Any thoughts?

Thanks for information.i have a DDC fault but have replaced door latch.would you have any idea.thanks for your help

In this nodel, the no 3 & 4 button indicates for smart check by smart phone. The 4th and 5th button is responsible for test mode.

I hate trashing items into land fills. Such a lazy throwaway world we've become. I often rescue things from neighbors refuge even if I don't need one, just to keep it from the dump. Now with the eV cars that are entirely disposable like huge expensive Bic lighters. They are the least green idea we've had, but the most pushed... all for corporate greed

Great video and very clear!! Could you please tell me if it is a PCB problem if the washing machine stops mid cycle? We need to restart it and then it continues where it left off!!

Hi ive got the same problem on the same machine in the video. Mine wont go into diagnostic mode though, any thought's. Thanks

Should I do this if it shows UC error code? Recently we had a lightning strike to our house with many appliances and circuits blown..

My unit eco bubbles 7.5kg have the display but not working.. Even I reset not spinning. Can you tell me what is the problem.

Very important video If translate in urdu, I tnx full 2u I give u tee party if u come in Dubai 😊😜😁

Hi, thanks for the video! My washer (samsung WW85K5410WW) stopped at 2minutes then it doesn't respond to button clicks anymore, i then just unplugged it and tried to turn it on, it won't. I tried the system reset (unplugged, pressed power button 5 seconds, then play button 5 seconds, then replug) still won't turn on. I suspect it's the same board you're talking about, but before i replace it ($200 in New Zealand), how can i test it to be sure it's a fried board? Can you share a service manual for my model number? Thank you!

Hi there i have an eco bubble washer dryer , once drying the drying cycle is finished the laundry is saturated and hot the pump is working and the filter is clean , it pumps fine on a washing cycle i am at a loss as to why this keeps happening could you advise please ??

Hi i have the same washing machine the issue am facing is that the buttons on the dash stopped working ecept the on/off play buttons so i can actually use the washing machine but cant adjust ant of the cycles (spin , water temp..) any pointers would be highly appreciated Note: Child lock is not on :)

i have a ww90j5456fw, pcb went causing it to skip spin cycles, not tumble on certain cycles and 90c washes we still have to use it every day its a pain but we cant find a pcb

Good job

Thanks you so much for the video, I hv completely lost control of my pcb board after having a quack do some job in it. Could you please help me get a new set of pcb board from a trusted source of yours. Regards Victor Lagos, Nigeria.

That sarcastic face is what you're meant to point the samsung smart check app at and line it up and use the phones camera to read the fault code - there should be other characters there to diagnose it. I get the same on my machine, no other characters. My machine won't fill or empty and the door stays locked so I'm thinking the main board is shot, but your assumption that the characters being shown indicate it's shot might not be conclusive - a healthy board would likely show the same too. Did you try the same test on the new board?

Danke Ihnen

I hav Sam problem in my washing machine I just want to Cher with you the video if you can help me to fixed the problem

Thanks for the useful videos. My Samsung Ecobubble keeps pausing mid-cycle. I've put it into test mode and everything seems to be working fine. I'm not getting any error codes but it still keeps pausing mid-cycle. Does that mean I need to change the PCB? Thanks.

My machine will not go onto test mode and is doing the smiley face. My machine constantly has red flashing key even when it's off. I've watched your videos and I'm looking towards the motherboard any help before I purchase?

You should show if Test program run with new board. Because I had problem with doors DC3 , it lock, run drain pump, then nothing ( drum motor do not run), then unlock and nothing more. It show :- symbol when tried to run Test program too but, later after checking Add door lock it start to run normally. So I am confused with that :- symbol.

Hello there, Great video! I replaced the motherboard on my Ecobubble WW91J6400CW. Now when I power up the machine, after a few seconds everything starts to blink and there is no reaction from the machine anymore. Any ideas? Thanks in advance!

luv you bro

I would not buy anything from Samsung other than mobile phones. Every other Samsung product, let be refrigerator, washing machine, TV, look a good deal when you are buying it. In terms of performance, attractiveness, design, price they look good in the beginning. Until they break down. With my own experience, it takes a very short time before a Samsung appliance starts giving problems. E.g. According to Dutch consumer organization Consumentenbond's statistics, Samsung TVs have the shortest usage span after LG TVs (they are even lower than Samsung). There you go.

i have never got new board scrape that gunk off re solder joints

Our machine works on lite or moderate loads. On towels, it won't complete the spin... it starts to attempt to balance spin it but cuts out before reaching full rpms and then the timer resets back to the pre spin time (rinse period?). No wobbles of the drum and appears properly centered concentrically within the doorway space as expected. Unsure why it works on medium loads but not heavier loads, even only two towels. Seems like a balance issue as the pump functions. I find it hard to understand how the balancing ring would fail in a 6 yr old machine

My Samsung ecobubble 8kg will not start . The door is locked but the programme dial will not move from wool mode

Please help me! My screen won’t move at all I click the buttons underneath it it won’t peep the screen only moves when I spin the spinny thing

got a 7KG version with 3C error checked the motor but see no issues. might be the motor driver, ran it the diagnostic but number 6 the motor cycle the issue....3C

My Samsung top loader is getting stuck at the end of the mode only one some loads and then restarting the rines/sping cycle and just repeats it.

Hello good sir. I have a Samsung ww75k5210ww. The Cotton programme always starts at 3 hours and 20 minutes… but around 15 minutes into it it subtracts almost 2 hours from the wash time, even if it’s a full load. So I switched to Synthetics programme, which doesn’t subtract time mid wash. However, the water temperature feels a lot hotter than the 40°C that I set it to. It feels more like 50°C! Would this be a PCB fault? Thank you.

this is a common problem... it is the MEMS sensor... if it is on the machine change it out. or it is located in the Mother Board so you must change it... also called Vibration Sensor.

i have the exact same issues with my Haier washing machine purchased from AO washes are taking longer the spin mode 1400rpm 10 mins it always gets stuck on 8 mins remaining and goes around and around back and forth from 10 mins to 16 mins until it figures out what its meant to be doing and also unbalanced errors during washing I've only had the machine less than a week so haier are sending an engineer out tomorrow i have asked for a brand new washing machine as i have no faith in the model can not ask the engineer not to fix it and get my full refund within my 14 days ?

I have a Samsung Flex washer that will only drain the water, no diagnostic or calibration cycle. Stopped working with no code. I got it to run a spin cycle one time using the app on the phone. It stopped and gave a code 8C1 code , and the app said check MEMS. Would a bad MEMS stop it from performing any functions. I purchased a new main control board installed and the results were the same. We live out in the sticks with no appliance person with 50 miles. This is the only video on line that is even close to what is happening.

Hi Sir, I come across your video today. Because my Samsung washing machine doesn’t start at all. Is the same machine you are showing in this video. What could it be! Maybe some advice please. Your videos are very good and your explanation are amazing. Hope you can help with my issue. Regards Maritza
