  1. Have the Samsung model WA5471/WA5451 top loading washer that is around 7 years old. Never had any issues until yesterday. Put in load of laundry and, in a few minutes, I heard the bells I recognized when a load is unbalanced. I go into laundry room, and there is water on the floor everywhere. No code was displayed. Water was coming from underneath washer. The amount of water dispersed looked to be where washer was continuously trying to fill. Is this a water pump issue?

    My Samsung washer will not spin, will not show or start spin test or moyor test rpms.

  3. If you open the washer, look at the bottom of the tub where the chrome or white cover is in the center, pry it off and remove the bolt to lift off the center piece. Underneath that you will see the gray metal, which has soap scum on it, as well as pieces of it falling apart. It’s a poorly designed part, that is disintegrating. I cleaned every thing the best I can. Helped for a short while, now it’s back again.

  4. My samsung wa5471 will not drain and go into spin mode. Was told it was possibly the control board. Just wondering your opinion. Thank you.

    My Samsung washer: mode wa5451anw/xaa is having a problem. It will not complete a wash cycle. Instead, if I set it to a normal wash cycle it shows about 50 minutes on the board. Then it will count down to 3 minutes left. It will then jump back up to 18 minutes and start filling the basket up with water for the rinse cycle again. It will repeat this over and over, never completing the cycle. Any suggestions?

  6. Ok…
    There was a small but semi steady stream of water coming out the ball like next to the soap tray…now I am not getting any water into and keeps saying 4c..but check my lines all seem fine even checked it both cold and hot…
    Now what

  7. Samsung WA5471 stopped mid cycle when clothes added. Now all it will do on a restart is give the error code PE. I checked the clutch motor resistance and it is at spec. Can this motor still be faulty?
