Samsung eco bubble pcb board repair 

Got a similar problem on a s/h machine we bought cheap for spares. Found the original problem was a broken wire to the heater thermistor. Did a couple of test loads ok, then next time the thing would do a wash cycle and stop when trying to spin, got into the board and after a couple of taps with the screwdriver off it went, so I’m now removing the plastic base and the silicon goo looking for a dry joint ! Nice to see you’ve done likewise 🤗🤗

My wife just complained that the washing machine is stopping during its cycle, no errors on the display. I did notice it's always when the machine needs to spin is when it bugs out and stops working. Sometimes it spins and sometimes it doesn't. I do board lever repairs on Apple products and I've never seen a more terrible and deliberate attempt to stop people from repairing their devices than what Samsung has done with their EcoBubble washing machines! Using silicon to cover the entire board and prevent the owner from removing the board from the housing is a dick move from Samsung. We own the 6.0KG version and the board is a little different from what you own but it's covered in the silicon to its teeth! Removing all the silicon is proving to be near impossible!!! I won't give up, this silicon hasn't seen the last of me! Thanks for sharing your experience!

Cool Video, good information! I have heared that this washing maschines have a Drum mounted on a Aluminum alloy which dissolves over time. The suds container is made of plastic and is glued so that it cannot be repaired.

Hi! Thank you for your video it was really full of information I have a Samsung washing machine eco bubble the motor won't to turn on I changed the main power CHP number ikcm15f60GA it works only ones and then stopped working I bought the new chip but i did not change it yet so I wandering is there any other things to test it before I fits the ic. Thanks in advance

Hi, we've got a Samsung WF90F5E5U4W machine and we're now finding that it's stopping mid cycle. Any suggestions? Thanks 👍🏻

I had a similar problem with our Fridgidaire washer and it came down to dry joints and a relay that had become detached on all pads. Resoldered the relay with a generous dollop of silicone to secure the relay and prevent a repeat of the problem and it's still running 6 years later.

have replaced it, but the rotation is still weak, only up to 104, not up to 1400. what do I have to do???

Chapeau!. You need a bigger workshop. Any idea how to remove the door catch? You have to hinge the right hand end towards the back to release the lip, but the casing is in the way. Do you remove the side or the front panel? If so where are the screws please?

thought i would just add my experience with this too .. i didnt 'cut' the bottom off my control unit box ... i used a plastic tool, and pried the whole PCB, along with its goo out of the plastic shell in one lump... then access was much easier to get rid of goo, and work on PCB (i felt was less risk in cutting board, and plusit left it in a much better state :)

Hi I've a Samsung ecobubble and when i put it on a wash it starts filling fills the first compartment and when it starts filling the second one it then stops and when i put it on test mode it comes up code UC I'm wondering if you have any ideas what it would be it would be very much appreciated

What do you think could be the cause of the washer stopping mid cycle, also a Samsung ecobubble

I have similar isseu, but didn't get to check anything, as i can't get the top cover off, any directions, how do you do it? I've unscrewed everything stucks at the from?

This is great. I have a very similar machine and there is no power to the unit. I've seen a few videos which have helped but are different than mine. I'm winging it here. Any chance you can offer a video on how to take the top off to get to the boards behind the face of the unit? or point me in the direction find it...

May i ask for the solutions in no power problem.. Thanks for the help...

hi, I have the same problem, which is short on pin 23 and pin 19 IKCM15F60GA, after I replace it all works except the motor doesn't rotate. motor measurement results: U-V = 5 ohms V-W = 5 ohms U-W = 5 ohms I have changed all the ic 817 photocoupler, but there is still no change Is the IKCM15F60GA chip that I replaced not the original part?

We have a Samsung ecobubble 7kg machine and the technician informed us that the rear PCB is faulty and beyond repair. I have managed to buy a rear PCB online but it is of a non- ecobubble Samsung 7 kg front load machine. Can it be installed in the eco bubble machine of the same capacity?

Hi! Thank you for sharing this. My Samsung washer is about 3 years and has the same problem. I wanted to ask: 1. Did you cover the circuit board with something or just left it without the silicone gel? What would you suggest should be used to cover the circuit board once the silicone gel has been removed and repair completed. 2. How did you fix the plastic underside of the board.

Hi, do you think the silicone was to mitigate issues that may arise due to vibration? Do you think it would be worth finding a substitute?

I have a same machine and when i plug it, it does nothing, like does not turn on at all no signals of life. Any idea what it could be?

Hi to all having the same problem. Mine stopt turning too. however, after the repair I did I'm not really convinced that the IC breaks. After I cut the legs of the IC to take it gently out I saw that some of the thin pins had bad solderings. Another video on youtube also shows that. Well since I cut out the IC and had to replace it I looked arounnd for the IC to buy. It is not really good available at stores. I found the IKCM15H60GA at Farnell. Also 10euros but they do not charge shipping costs. Check that the IC I bought is a slightly different type since it has an H instead of an F in the partnumber. I think it's an upgraded part. It worked in my machine after some PCB trace repair since I damaged the board an invisable bit close to the screws of the IC. When I removed the screws I accidentally bent the PCB and two tiny traces snapped. So take really good care for the PCB. It's very fragile....Good luck to anyone who has to face the same problem!

Hi, how do you disassemble the top cover?

man, what kind of material did you rip off the resin on the bord?

I once gave up on a DE door error Samsung after I replaced the lock won’t ever do that and check it better , not sure with pcb though so hard to diagnose at times for an amateur like me

Hi I have a samsung eco bubble washing machine which switches on and when i try to put the machine on it takes water but fails to spin I've tried to calibrate the machine again it does not spin can anyone please help on what's the problem is and how i can fix it would be highly appreciated thanks guys

Thanks for the interesting video. We have a 9kg Ecobubble. Looks to be a bit different inside. The PCB is on the back of front panel. It was a bit of a pig to get to the solder joints. (Samsung must have watched your video and decided it was too easy). Tried the dry joints but am still getting error 3c2 when I put in test mode. Have ordered a new motor controller from mouser so fingers crossed. Quick question. Did you test the motor at all. If yes, how? If not, why not? I am guessing the answer is "no" as this is the bit they guarantee for 10 years and so they will have made it reliable. :) Just interested to know.

Surprised at Samsung using a plastic drum pulley! My new Hisense Inverter cost only £238, and has a metal drum pulley! "Ally"-express? ... I call it, "Alley"-express!

Hello. Brother i have the same problem. But i am stucked at the values of gate source and drain of the module IC in a Pcb. What should I do now? Each UVW circuitry of the module IC have a combination values of resistance and capacitance values. Though I dont have the schematic diagram,, which is not available any where. So what I do now.

Aha, so this is not a direct drive motor! :)

Bien explicado solo no entiendo el idioma pero se save lo que hace tengo el mismo problema nadie mostro el numero del integrado del motor el lo iso veré que pasa si lo encuentro gracias saludos de chile

Hi @buyitfixit i have this same and washing machine is not turning on i have open the same pcb box and fould 1 black ic/capator broken can it be fixed? Plz help me plz resopond if u want i will post the pic also kindly help me

This is BLDC motor?

Hi buy it fix it and everyone. I want to repair my elderly neighbors Dyson washing machine control board, the first 3 words out of the 6 on the digital control board are to faded to understand, what type of metre is best to check for faulty components on the PCB control board please, and is there any tips or advice anyone can give me please it's for a good cause. Well done on fixing that circuit, just getting to it looked extremely difficult never mind repairing it. Great video thankyou.

Hi i have samsung washing machine ww70h5200ew is not turning the drum but i heared noisy sound

It was enough to clean the Filter, or if you hear clicking and the engine does not start, it is a problem with the brushes. If you were permanently connected to the power supply, it was a capacitor, i.e. a mains filter. Certainly not a programmer. Samsung floods with silicone and there is no possibility of a fault

You did not use any chemicals to remove the master silicone, the printed circuit is damaged with a screwdriver

👍👍

these washing machines are terrible. we got it fixed for 250 pounds because we tried all of this plus more and it still wouldnt work then the motor broke and yet it was still under warranty but samsung did not give a crap at all. we decided to just scrap it like this one has. dont buy them unless your using it for parts lol.

Samsung washers are terrible, the Samsung technician charges almost the price of the washer to repair my two years old, so I bought a new Panasonic.

sod that i would rather just buy another machine

Those motor mounts are pathetic. My Samsung eco bubble chewed 3 out 4 mounts, and the motor came off. Bought M6 30mm threaded rods to fix this obnoxious engendering

Would have been better doing what you first wanted, turn it into a wind turbine. Samsung quality is now crap compared to many years ago.

Caro amico la Samsung è stata sempre una merda di produzione. La Samsung da quando si è formata come firma ha sempre dato merda di elettrodomestici. Io conosco questa marca dal 2005 ed ha sempre avuto problemi sulle schede di migliardi di lavatrici. Ho lavorato per la Samsung e ti dico che è da scartare come azienda. È l' unica marca che ha dato sempre elettrodomestici con schede che danno problemi. Ora lavoro sulle riparazioni ma di tutte le marche e di queste lavatrici come la tua ne arrivano a miglioni, noi siamo costretti a cambiare scheda ma per me la Samsung dovrebbe partire la fame perché oltre a vendere gli elettrodomestici e anche molto cari di prezzo specula il cliente vendendo schede a prezzi molto alti. Il tuo filmato è stato utile non per me perché già sapevo il guasto ... ma per migliaia di gente che deve capire di non comprare la scheda ma solo il componente. Perché la Samsung si ritiene furba a mettere una specie di gel sulla scheda. Ma la Samsung non ha capito niente che se continua cosi la gente non deve più comprare Samsung di qualsiasi elettrodomestico anche TV. Tutto qui
