Drain and spin sequence
The pump, hoses, water level, lock, balance, motor, and control response are tested in operating order.


Samsung washer repair
If a Samsung washer will not drain, spin, fill, or finish the cycle, RPS follows the operating sequence to find the failure and provide a clear repair price.

Qualifying customer-paid home repairs. Warranty terms apply.
What the symptom can mean
A Samsung washer can stop because it cannot drain, confirm the door lock, balance the load, reach the correct water level, or drive the tub. The displayed code is useful, but it is only one clue. We compare the code with the machine's actual cycle behavior and test the pump, water path, lock, motor, sensors, wiring, and controls related to the complaint.
How we narrow it down
The pump, hoses, water level, lock, balance, motor, and control response are tested in operating order.
RPS services many Samsung front-load and top-load washers, subject to model and parts eligibility.
Photograph the complete error code before unplugging the washer because a reset may temporarily clear it.
Find the model number: Check around the door opening on a front-load washer or beneath the lid on many top-load models. Photograph the full model and serial label.
Straight answers
A blocked water path, restricted hose, drain pump problem, wiring fault, sensor input, or control issue can prevent draining. The pump and complete drain path need to be checked before selecting a part.
An uneven load can cause a one-time balance problem. Repeated trouble may involve leveling, suspension, tub movement, sensing, drive components, or a condition that prevents the washer from completing its spin sequence.
Leave the washer connected unless there is an active leak or safety concern, remove the current load, save any error code, and keep the model number available. Shut off the water if the machine is leaking.
