  1. My Samsung WA5471 top loader washing machine is leaving a film of lint on my clothes. It never did in the beginning. Also there is a small discharge of water left on the floor on the front left side of the machine.

  2. DIY Project Help Tips

    David Price,
    How often does this happen? How old is your Samsung washer? We understand you say a slimy flaky grey substance… But is the substance similar to oil at all? lLike the oil used to lubricate parts? Is the grey flakes the material that is sprayed onto there inner wash tub? Have a look inside and see if any paint or substance may be chipping off the walls of the washer tub.

  3. I also have a problem with the “gunk” that comes out after every cycle. It is a slimy flaky grey substance. I have tried multiple runs of the Pure cycle with vinegar and tried Affresh cleaning tablets. The stuff just keeps coming. Any suggestions?
    Thanks in advance.

  4. Ok, I have now replaced the vibrations sensor, and the 4 suspension rods, and I am still getting DC error!!! What else could this be. This machine is driving me nuts!

    Please help.

  5. machine wa5471abp top loading. I think I tried two different settings. It doesn’t even give me an error code

  6. DIY Project Help Tips

    Josh,
    Samsung uses the 3E error code to indicate a drive motor tach fault.
    Try…
    Unplug the washer for 2-3 minutes to reset.
    If unplugging did not work… Check Wire Connections On Drive Motor, Check Wire Connections On Control Board, Check Hall Sensor
    -RR

  7. Thank you so much for responding.

    No matter how many times I redistribute (or how over careful I am in doing so), it will not finish the cycle, and get another DC error. Is there a way to test to see if it is the vibration sensor? Or anything else I can do.
