samsung WD8704 pump problem

[electrofix]

got a Samsung
WD8704RJA / XEU03
y05754ab200429j

Set machine on a spin only cycle

pump try’s to start but does not. if you leave it running pump gives a flicker every now and then.
have checked pump for wear and given it a push with a screwdriver but its evident there is no power getting to the unit

I am assuming power board but having experience of the hot point problem with the TD ntc causing the same fault thought I would see if anyone else had any experience of this

Re: samsung WD8704 pump problem

have you tried putting water into the drum to reset pressure switch ?

Re: samsung WD8704 pump problem

no is there a procedure for that ?

would not have thought it would have been relevant on the spin programme but then electronic machines can be silly.
anyone got any tech info ?

Thats a weird one Dave ,check the loom feeding the pump hint chafed ,and I have known poor crimp terminals,I assume you’ve got 240 at the pump ? they are just a normal askoll pump so nothing clever,otherwise yeah its the board and you need the part number off the board itself

I’m sure you will be aware, but just in case, I went to one of these, not sure if it was the same model, but there is a switch on the filter door. Steve.
