  1. DIY Project Help Tips

    Andrew Glenn,
    Have you made sure power is getting to the washer?
    If so, check the wiring on back.
    If rear wiring is okay then remove the control board to see if there are loose wire harnesses or possibly a burnt board.
    -RR

  2. I have a Samsung wa5451 and a quarter got stuck in the agitator. The whole control screen went out and I have no sign of power. I got the quarter out and spun the agitator, but machine will not power on. Do I need to buy a new control board?

  3. DIY Project Help Tips

    Brandi Gerling,
    Samsung washer error code 8E means MEMS sensor failure.
    Check the wiring first to be sure it is secure, if not replace the MEMS sensor.

  4. Brandi Gerling

    My Samsung washer is giving the 8E code what does this mean and how do I fix this?

  5. DIY Project Help Tips

    Sophia,
    If your Samsung washer is getting the DS or D5 error code, The washer thinks the lid or door is open or unlocked during the wash cycle. Either close the door, or check that the door switch/lid switch is working properly and installed correctly.
    -RR

  6. I just replaced the lid lock on my Samsung Washer and now I get a DS error code. What do I need to do now?

  7. DIY Project Help Tips

    Holly West,
    The lint issue may be because of something that was washed earlier and the washer did not wash out all the lint. Try washing empty in “Clean” mode and see if that fixes the issue.
    If the washer is leaking a small amount of water from the front left, you may have a loose or damaged water line. Check inside the machine to find the leaking hose, connector, or component. Replace parts as needed.
    -RR
