Page 3: ##Samsung Laundry Training

Model Version Numbers Sample

• Version 02 of the WF328 has the pump in front

• Serial (S5) May 2009 and after have the new front mounted pump ass'y.

There may be other differences, like the hoses and DD Motor.

• DC31-00054A pump is used on ALL of our washers.

• If you have a DC96-01414A pump ass'y, you can take off the pump and

use it.

Sometimes the Version change is in the field before the parts

look-up is updated. If any doubt, call GPCA

Temperatures

Location considerations

Do not install your washer in areas where water

may freeze, since your washer will always

maintain some water in its water valve, pump, and

hose areas. This can cause damage the belts, the

pump, hoses and other components. Operating

temperature should be above 60°F.

Page 6: ##Samsung Laundry Training

Extended Cycle Time

Sometimes No Spin

• What 3 things cause extended time Spin

issue?

– Out of Balance – 45 min. or more, at Spin Cycle

– Over Sudsing - 1 hour or more, at Spin Cycle

– Poor Drain - up to 15 minutes for each drain

cycle

– Any other thoughts?

Page 7: ##Samsung Laundry Training

Out of Balance • When the unbalance time exceeds 15 minutes during the

spin cycle, it executes the untying operation to balance

the load. It will tumble at 50 RPM and add water and

pump out twice, then generate an error (dc) the third

time. This will last about 30 minutes.

• Temperatures under 60° may cause unit not to spin and

generate an error (dc)

– See bulletin on early WF218 for software change on Main PCB

• Installation issues – Not leveled, Not locking the lock

nuts, Bending legs or frame when lifting, Shipping bolts

in place, Springs or struts broken or loose.

• Installed on slippery floor without rubber foot pads.

• Not properly locked on pedestal.

Page 8: ##Samsung Laundry Training

When installing a washer and dryer on

the first or second floor, leaving this

much of the leg bolt exposed is not

recommended.

Vibration/Balance Issues

Use on slippery floors for stability.

There is one in each package, so

order 4 of them

Page 9: ##Samsung Laundry Training

Washer foot damage

Floor Model sale. Washer slid

across warehouse concrete floor

Washer sliding/walking on

consumer’s concrete floor over time.

This will cause the washer to “walk” during spin cycles

and may cause a no spin condition.

Page 10: ##Samsung Laundry Training

No Description Image

1 Tighten the lock-nut up against the base frame.

2

Put a couple of articles of clothing inside and place

paper strips under each leg. And then, put the unit

into Spin Mode as follows.

1. Power ON press SIGNAL and EXTRA RINSE for 3

seconds

2. Press the Delay Start and Silver Care Keys for 3

seconds to enter Quick Spin Test Mode.

As its speed increases, try to pull out the paper

stripes.

Notice! If you find foot-print on the paper, or the

paper is slipped out, lower the regarding leg slightly

and tighten up its lock-nut against the bottom plate.

And, repeat the test until there is no slip-out or foot-

print.

Notice! Partial circle footprint on paper could

indicate a bent leg or frame.

Over Sudsing

ALWAYS USE HE Detergents

• When using the proper amount of

detergent in soft water with “clean”

clothes, it is possible to get oversudsing.

• Unless clothing is “dirty”, in soft water use

½ or less of the recommended detergent.

Page 12: ##Samsung Laundry Training

Over Sudsing Example 1

Consumers wash “clean” clothes in soft

water, no “soil” for the detergent to hold

in suspension, creating over sudsing.

Page 13: ##Samsung Laundry Training

Over Sudsing Example 2

Page 14: ##Samsung Laundry Training

Small puddle under the drawer usually means over sudsing

Over Sudsing Example 3

Page 15: ##Samsung Laundry Training

Even when using

the recommended

“HE” detergent, if

too much

detergent is used

suds will be

created.

Water Level Sensor Trouble. (When the input signal

from the water level sensor is out of range, the unit will

send out beeping sounds and halt the cycle.)

Check the Hose where the sensor is connected, may

be loose, pinched, damaged or clogged. Also check

the sensor it may be disconnected or defective. The

Main PCB may also be defective

7 OE E

A fault is detected in the water level sensor. Data

(frequency) shows the water level is at or above the

overflow water level. Drain process may also occur.

Water is supplied continually because the water

level detection does not work. - Verify the drain is

working properly. Verify the water valves shut off

fully. Finally check the water level sensor.

Unbalance or cabinet bump is detected during final spin,

which prevents the drum from spinning over 400 rpm.

(Never exceeds 400 RPM due to unbalanced load)

Check type of laundry. Check whether it may cause

an unbalanced situation.- Educate the consumer to

press pause, reposition the load or remove a few

items. Check bulletin on WF218

Troubleshooting Tips

• Liquid detergent seeping from main wash

cup into prewash

• Leak at Detergent Drawer

• Pump Noise

• Intermittent stopping in cycle

• Siphoning faults

• Fabric Softener Dispensing

• Steam Operation

Page 21: ##Samsung Laundry Training

Liquid detergent seeping from main wash cup into prewash after filling cup is

normal and is necessary by design to prevent water standing in cup when cycle is

complete. This will not effect normal operation and some of the detergent will enter

during prewash, selections without prewash will see no difference. If the customer

wants to use the pre wash option recommend using a powder detergent.

Notice the notch in between the arrows.

This allows water to bleed out of cup

after dispensing preventing cup from

being full of water after cycle.

1) Place the Assy-Pump Drain into the

unit.

2) Insert the pump cushion into the

opening at the base of the unit.

3) Once the pump cushion is inserted

into the opening slide the assembly

forward to lock.

4) After the Assy-Pump is locked in

place secure the pump bracket to

the base of the unit.

If the Assy-Pump is installed without placing the

pump cushion into the opening at the base of

the unit. The filter assembly will hit against the

metal bracket at the front of the unit, causing

the pump assembly to make noise.

Drain Pump Error

This is a typical error indicating a drain error but not necessarily a drain pump error.

Items that should be checked to correct drain errors are:

• Connections

• 120VAC from the main board to the pump motor

• Pump motor resistance

• Restriction in the pump or drain hose

Water Valve Troubleshooting

The Water valves can be tested by

measuring the output voltage at the

connector. This should measure 120VAC

Water Valve Troubleshooting

What may seem like a water valve problem may be a

clogged spray nozzle. Dirt or mineral build up can clog

Water Valve Troubleshooting

After checking for 120VAC on the connectors and checking the wiring harness,

remove the connectors from the valves and measure the resistance of the

solenoid coils. A good valve solenoid will measure approximately 1.5 kΩ

Sensor Bar Touch Data Mode

Press Temp + Signal for 3 seconds during the drying cycle (same for all

Frontier models). When there are wet items being dried, data will change

from 0 to 1200 as the wet clothes touch the sensor bars. This procedure

checks the moisture sensor bars ability to detect moisture. If the readings do

not change with wet clothes inside, check the sensor bars.
