Re: Smartdrive 608 won’t fill

Thanks Penguin, for your help.

I tried bypassing the cover switch and the machine began to fill, for half a second and turn a little at the same time. Then after a while it would do nothing. Was looking a lot like a control panel at least (about $220 to replace in Aust) with a call out of $110 if I want to go the safe route and get a pro.

I bought a factory seconds samsung front loader (cheap because of dings) to replace it for $550. Our council are offering a $200 rebate for purchase of a new water efficient machine so I figured it was worth it.

Will give the old machine to someone who repairs and re-sells them.

Strange new stuff: The samsung has an option for a “silver wash” (sold as an anti-bacterial treatment) using dodgy nano technology. I knew nothing about it beforehand but some cursory research tells me it’s potentially risky to health and the environment so I’ll be looking to disable it somehow. Maybe just disconnect the switch.
