Samsung Washer Parts Guides — Complete Parts Guide

Ten parts guides for a Samsung washer: the control board, the door latch, the drain pump, the filter, the gasket, the drive motor, the sensor, the switch, the thermostat and the water inlet valve. There is a part here for each of the four things that actually go wrong with a washing machine — it will not start, it will not fill, it will not drain, or it will not spin — which makes the hub easiest to use by symptom rather than by browsing.

Will not start is the door latch, because the control refuses to run without confirmation that the drum is closed. Will not fill is the inlet valve, after the taps and the inlet screens have been checked, since those cost nothing. Will not drain is the filter, then the hose, then the pump, in that order every time. Will not spin is the sensor and then the motor, and the motor is genuinely last — it is the most expensive wrong answer in the list.

The door latch is an interlock and is replaced rather than defeated, since it is what prevents a drum holding water from being opened mid-cycle. The motor and control board sit at mains potential inside the cabinet and are the other stop. Filters, pumps, hoses and gaskets are all reasonable to take on with basic tools.
