Re: Error Code 06 for Brandt Washing machine. Model WFH 167U

ok, I know this thread is 3 years old, but it might help someone to know that my Brandt just packed up, and I had A LOT of trouble finding info on it like error codes etc.
Gist of it is I had err06 and no spin. Replaced brushes and still no joy (old ones were only half worn anyway). Checked continuity in loom from PCB to motor, and found a boken wire at the motor end multi-pin plug. Remade the connection, and BINGO! Machine now works fine.
I suspect the original poster had a similar problem. He probably disturbed the wires in the process of replacing the brushes, which remade the connection temporarily.
ps it’s a Selni motor, if anyone needs to know 😉

Re: Samsung RS21DCNS freezer defrost cycle not working

Thanks for that, but as I said, I’ve changed the defrost sensor and checked the thermal overload. Any other ideas?

ps My Alfa diesel engine dropped a big end, and everyone said that never happens too. Just a thought…

Re: Samsung RS21 DCNS fault code after repair

Hi again,
The fault code shown on the freezer defrost cycle has finally manifested itself as a warm freezer. Thought it would, but it’s taken a few weeks.

Removed cover, manual defrost, tested all components, all give sensible readings but changed defrost sensor anyway, as I had a spare new one from fridge repair!

So, question is what resistance reading should I get from the defrost heater? I have 246 Ohms, which seems low to me. Is this correct? Thinking back to schoolboy physics, at 240V that gives a current of 1amp and therefore a power consumption of 240W. Not a lot considering the heat required to defrost the evaporator quickly? What should the heat output be? Maybe it’s trying to defrost but not quick enough to reset back to cooling again, and the system is just “waiting”?

Is there a way to force a defrost cycle so I can see what happens?
Maybe it’s foolish, but I pressed and held POWER COOL and FRIDGE TEMP together for a few seconds, display went blank then got constant beeping noise. Anyone know what this means? I left it for a while and the beeping just continues, even after the display has returned to normal. Then I switched off and on again to reset, because I didn’t know what it was doing! (chicken).

Thanks for all help so far, and any more much appreciated!

ps water delivery is fine now, thanks.

The middle bar is a defrost fault,the fridge section has not completed a full defrost in the past 8 hrs,normally due to the defrost heater or thermal fuse failure.

Thanks for that. The middle bar is lit on the freezer digits, not the more usual fridge digits. Does this mean freezer or fridge is not defrosting correctly? No other signs of malfunction at the moment, but would like to get rid of the fault code before more problems show up. Have checked continuity on fridge thermal fuse (OK). Is defrost on an 8 hour cycle?

Re: Samsung RS21 DCNS fault code after repair

5 days on, and fan motor replacement seems to have done the trick. Temps are rock steady, and no sign of ice build up. Installed fridge in proper place in kitchen today, and plumbed in the water supply (what a pain it was getting the pipe and fittings – even Plumb centre don’t stock it!!).

I have two questions now. Firstly, does anyone know the answer to my original question on the fault code (middle bar, right hand digit, freezer section)? I seem to be one of very few people here not to receive any replies!
Secondly, can anyone tell me how to adjust the water level fed to the ice tray, please? I only have a small amount delivered, and only a few very small ice cubes. The delivery rate at the water dispenser on door is quite slow too, presumably due to narrow bore pipe from mains to FF. Not worried about this, as long as I get cold water I don’t mind holding the glass for a few more seconds.

Many thanks

Andrew
