Samsung Washing Machine: Samsung washer no power at all suddently

Tue, 21 Apr 2026 03:52:10 -0700

Hi, could someone give me a hint? This is Samsung front washer, model WF203ANS/XAC, about 5 years old. Never had problem but after we loaded it and believed it had worked for a while (could turn it on, seeing the led lights). Then we found it is dead and no responding to any buttons. The door was locked with clothes and water inside!

I have opened it almost everything and managed to take it front face off and got the clothes out.

I have measured the Noise Filter (DC29-00013A). Its input side is 121V and output side is 121V. The wall plug is 121V. At the same time, there is no any responses, or led lights on at all.

I am not sure if the Filter is good and working? do I need to replace it?

I have checked the water pump (inlet and outlet) and see nothing except water.

What else I should check? How can I know if the PCB (the main control board) is working or dead? There is no sign of burning on it or anywhere.

Please help. Thank you in advance!

Kenmore 90 Series Washing Machine: Washer hums after filling, will not agitate, spin, or drain

Sat, 18 Apr 2026 16:13:09 -0700

I have a Kenmore 90 Series washer. Last week it began making a humming sound after filling. It will not agitate, spin, or drain.

I was able to empty it out and check the pump, didn't find any issues but replaced anyways. Issue persisted. Lid latch working normally as well. I can manually rotate the barrel from inside the washer and by spinning the coupler on the motor side of the transmission.

Removed the motor and verified the coupling was still intact, and did not notice any mushrooming or smell from the capacitor. I noticed the motor was very hot, but I am unsure if it was outside normal parameters. I also noticed a few wires getting very hot from inside the cabinet.

Whirlpool Washing Machine: Whirlpool 1cwtw4845ew1 toploader engaging lid lock non-stop

Sat, 18 Apr 2026 10:22:28 -0700

Whirlpool washing machine 1cwtw4845ew1 was in the middle of the washing cycle when it started engaging and disengaging the lid lock randomly, and now it won't do anything else anymore. Tried reset as per a Youttube video, but the lid lock keeps on clicking non-stop when the machine is plugged in.

LG washing machine: LG WM2487HWM won't drain, OE error appears. Drain pump was replaced.

Fri, 17 Apr 2026 05:53:47 -0700

Hi,

My LG front loader washer would not go into the drain stage of the washing cycle.

First there were noises coming from a drain pump, then it sat for a while and displayed OE error. No drain or spin happened.

As many posts suggested, I checked the drain filter (it was clean), hoses and replaced the drain pump with a brand new one.

I then tried Rinse+Spin and Speed Wash cycles with no clothes, to confirm that it got fixed, but to no avail.

It again stopped on the Drain/Spin stage and displayed the OE error after sitting for a while, no loud noises were coming from the new pump though.

I then went through a diagnostic run, by pressing Soil Level and Spin + Power, albeit with the same result - no drain occurred.

What else could I do, please?

Thank you!

Will not fill with water. No valve blockage and electric valves open and close when bench tested. Control board was tested and it too is not the problem.
