Samsung ecobubble HE code error.

[Pabloz]

Hi all, I have a Samsung ecobubble model no. WF80F5E0W2W

It has stopped working with an HE error code which I am led to believe is a temp sender error problem. I have replaced this with a new one(access is very easy from the rear) but I still have the error code. I have unplugged it and left it to reset it but no joy. I cant see any problems with wires so far. Could it be a circuit board problem?

Any help most welcome!

have you checked the heater ?

Thanks for that Dave. I only pulled the heater and checked it visually. Whats the best way to test it?

[electrofix]

with multimeter
you should get well under 100 ohms across the teminals

Hi Dave, checked with a multimeter and didnt get a reading so assume it must be this. Will order a new one- fingers crossed. Thanks for your help

[Pabloz]

Darn it! Replaced element as well and still got the HE code. switched it on and off, unplugged it for a while and kicked it. Still no joy. Any other options??

[electrofix]

well if the heater is ok and conected correclty

the temp sensor is ok
the wiring back to the timer is ok

then all that is left is the board as far as i know

Probably not worth it then. Its about 7 years old. I hate not being able to fix stuff though and end up throwing it away……

problem with both samsung and LG boards is they fill then with a jelly so it could be as simple as a dud relay but you can never fix them because you would have to cut the component out off this stuff first and you cant test components on the board for the same reason

Thanks for all your help anyway, much appreciated! Need to look for a more reliable make of washer now……..

top of the tree is miele

just checked prices of Miele and my budget is about 400 quid so dont think i can put that on my list……….. you get what you pay for I suppose

[electrofix]

the problem is in real terms due to market forces machines have got cheaper. that means the manufacturers have had to cut corners to bring down cost

what you have to do is work out what they are making them for

your budget is £400, Your buying from a retailer who has to make a profit, it has to be shipped half way round the world, the manufacturer has to also make a profit after paying for reseach and development. plus your £400 contains Tax at 20{e5d1b7155a01ef1f3b9c9968eaba33524ee81600d00d4be2b4d93ac2e58cec2d} so your £400 is really £330

in short your manufacturing cost of the machine could easily be less than £100 and you dont get much quality for that

hmmm, doesnt add up to much quality wise, I agree. Think I should try and go for a compromise, somewhere in the middle of budget and Miele!
