    Re: Samsung RL39WBMS runs ok, then won’t restart

    Thanks johnsdad. Just had a look at the defrost heater on connect & looks like it’s only available with an evaporator, so it’ll be going for scrap. He only paid £65 for it at auction. I’ll test it anyway, thanks.

    If the pump is running then it can’t be the module. Most likely is you’ve got a bit of debris getting stuck in the pump – side chamber hose. Best way to clear it is to detatch the hose where it enters the side chamber and get it to pump into a washing up bowl. If you get good flow then connect side chamber & hose one at a time till you find the blockage. The muck in the top corner of the tank doesn’t normally cause a problem but I have had a side chamber blocked with fat in the outlet side where the fat floats on the water that sits in the waste loop about 50mm from top of the tank. If so, pour boiling water in the chamber & melt it out. Wizard.

    It’ll either be a dry solder joint for the heater relay on the pcb or the pcb itself. Only way to tell is to take apart and have a look. Wizard.

    It’s normally the transformer on the module, due to customer leaving the thing switched on after it’s finished. Definitely send to QER, they’ve done several for me with this fault. Wizard.

    That bit of plastic fits under the end of the selector switches to support them. It doesn’t ‘fix’ to anything, just slides in between the two selector switches and sits between them and the metal panel beneath to stop them sagging down. Remember, power off !!

    Simon, quite common to get transformer failing on these, sometimes intermittent. Send the board to EMW.

    Check the tacho magnet on the end of the motor, had loads of these fall off the end of the shaft. Just refit with a bit of loctite.

    The impeller cover is essential to the working of the pump, without it there it cannot create the vortex needed to throw the water up the pipe, no pressure sensors.

    Check if they’re using 3in1/ 4in1/ max in1 type detergent. It will foam up in this machine causing the turbidity sensor on the heater box to register as ‘water dirty’ and will keep adding rinses all day long.(turbidity sensor only used on auto) This is made worse if they are also still adding rinse aid. Best to use Finish Classic tabs & separate rinse aid in this machine. Also could be the non return valve on the pump letting water back into the machine when it does a pulsed pump out in the middle of the program causing an overfill next time it fills. (remove filters under bottom basket & take out impeller cover on left, 1 torx screw. Non return flap is at 12 o’clock to impeller, lever out with a screwdriver. If it’s made of black rubber then change it, part no. 165262, new ones are a different material, clear in colour.) E number is on the top edge of the door (etched into the stainless) or on a sticker on the edge of the door.

    Re: soap powder not taken up

    Chesham, this fault can also be caused by setting the program knob one click past the beginning of the program. There is a positive click at the beginning of each program where the hot is taken and soap washed in up to a set level. The next, lighter click is where the first tumble allows clothes to soak up the water. It then tops up with cold only back to the set level allowing the electronics to determine the cold pressure and the amount of washing in the drum, so that it knows how much water to take on the rinses, which are timed fills. If you miss the first positive click, you miss the hot fill position and the soap doesn’t go in.

    Change the ‘impellor jug’. It’s not repairable & not expensive, about £15-20. I’ve done about half a dozen of these, now keep one as van stock. J

    Well done ! I tell 5-10 customers every week to do this & 90{e5d1b7155a01ef1f3b9c9968eaba33524ee81600d00d4be2b4d93ac2e58cec2d} of the time it will clear the fault. the secret is to leave it long enough. FD 7405 is May 1994, much more like it !

    If you’ve got power to the pcb then it’s definitely the pcb at fault. I did one of these the other day. Just check that there aren’t any physically blown components on the board first. If there are then something has caused this – often a leak from the diverter motor on the heater.

    Re: Bosch WFK5730 Washig Machine Spins for 5seconds only

    If the motor is turning at all then it’s unlikely to be just the brushes. Check it on the wash part of the cycle and see if it does the 5 second spin when it should be tumbling. If it does then its lost control of the motor, which will mean either pcb or motor fault. If it’s tuming normally on wash but only for 5 seconds on spin then it could be the brushes but more likely the pcb. My opinion, at 15 years old its done better than most and it’s time for the big scrapheap in the sky.
