Hi.Samsung washing machine.
This machine is doing something strange. Start the machine on, say spin, machine starts up fine could run for 3 to 4 minutes ( OR EVEN A COMPLETE CYCLE ) and the the display goes dead SOMETIMES, as though the fuse has gone but it hasn`t. The machine will then mysteriously restart itself after a few minutes or in 30 minutes. The mains lead does not reach the socket so it is plugged into an extension lead which is where I first thought where the problem might have originated from but I proved this not to be the case by plugging in one of those socket ( main 3 lights on = ok ) tester into one of the spare extension lead`s plug sockets – when the machine goes dead it still shows power from the mains socket to the extension`s socket bank. I did change the moulded plug to the actual machine but that has made no difference. With the lid off I thought it might have been the suppressor fooling about but that tests out ok. To replicate the problem if the motor`s plug is pulled out there is no display but I cannot see any loose wires or pushed out tags to the motor and the wiring loom seems fine AND the motor brushes are perfect. The only thing is perhaps a failing input power module chip? My question basically boils down to: is this a common problem with Samsung and if so any idea what the problem is caused by? Thx.
the trouble with samsung is the sealed boards which means chip changes are out
what i would do is a bit of experimentation
you need to find a voltage you can test on the board to see if its dissapeared when it goes off
have to be careful what i say as you have posted in a public forum
