Dude I literally just bought a “broken washer” for $50 and your video just fixed it. This is crazy thank you so much!

Michael, you just saved me. My Samsung stopped during cycle, top lid locked and when I power cycled, I had nothing. Your reset worked. This particular washer had a recall within a few months for top lid blowing off and it was so widespread Samsung hired Dish Network techs to install a 'fix'. It's under the 5 year 'secondary' warranty from my retailer and they couldn't get out till next week and I still would have to pay a service call. I'm considering just buying new. Thanks!!

That moment when your clothes are in the washer and it won't turn on was like OH NO! Thank goodness an internet search of the problem pointed me to your video. It worked. Thank you. You now have another subscriber.

Thanks man, my father was mad as hell that the washing machine didn’t work, tried the factory reset and works great

You saved me a very long day of work exchanging a brand new washer. For some reason mine didn’t turn on after the reset for another couple minutes but it’s washing now thank you

my man! may God bless you! I'm living in a city called Pune, India, for work. All the technicians, manual laborers etc. (long list!) that i hired here so far were absolute crooks.. today my machine stopped working, and i was dreading going through that feeling of being cheated and disgusted yet again, but thanks to you, i didn't have to! subscribed!

brilliant and so simple. I'd searched for a service manual, pulled out the main board and was about to delve into the circuit but I had another look on RU-vid first. Fixed it straight away, saved $$$ and lots of frustration. Thanks.

First video I clicked on after my washer would turn on. You are a star - fixed my washer in no time, thank you!!!

Washing machine out of warranty and seemed to be stuck, clicking etc. who would have thought pressing buttons on a machine disconnected would work. But it did much to my wife's surprise...and mine.well done😊

I bought a 3 year warranty and was just about to call for service and then I saw this video. AWESOME!!!

Thank you! Excellent advice! I've spent an hour on Samsung's help site and there was nothing so thank you very much!

Thank you, Michael! Worked just great. Had a severe thunderstorm just before it started misbehaving and finally just would not power on. Thanks again!

Thank you very much for the help! Are you a part time DJ too? Other repair videos are a total snooze fest. Your delivery of information is quick painless and best of all correct!! EXCELLENT JOB!!!

So my DC68-03172C stopped mid cycle and the Samsung manual was useless. I tried several times to start it again. I unplugged the washer and did the steps and it worked. This machine is 3 months old and I was not pleased. But again these steps worked. Thanks again.

Thank you for the best advice and for free. No need to pay for a diagnostic.

It took me looking at countless videos and finally seeing this video to help me clear the sud error from my washer. Thank you !

Just had new washer delivered. Delivery crew did not perform test run, advised me to do a run myself, then left. I pressed the Power and Start buttons on every cycle and washer would not start. Samsung Support was unable to help. Advising they would send a technician to troubleshoot the washer within 7 days. Long time to wait with a large family and lots of laundry. Came across your video. Followed instructions and guess what, it worked. Thanks for you help.

God bless you man. I was crying already but then I found your video and it worked. Thank you 😊

Thank you for making this video!!!! It worked perfect. You saved me a lot of money. The manual states absolutely nothing about resetting the machine. Believe me I am so thankful, cause I never leave a comment on videos!!!!!

Wow..worked like a charm...we couldn't even find the reset in the manual. Thank you!!

THANK YOU SO MUCH OMGG THIS HELPED US SO MUCH MY HUSBAND AND I WERE STRESSING 😭😭😭

Thank you so much!!! This worked! Going on about 7 days with this washer issue and this video solved the problem!! 🎉

Thank you ! Way more helpful than customer service! And the actual samsung website!

Searched and found this very helpful fix......and it worked first time for me! Very grateful....thank you

Wow this worked like a charm. Up and running in 30 seconds. Thank you so much.

Can't believe this worked! Felt way too easy. Ur da man!! Thx

Thank you thank you and thank you for this video! It must be a common thing in this model. I have only had mine about 3 years and last night out of nowhere it just decided to play dead. If it wasn't for this video I am sure I would have had to call someone out but this truly did help!

This did the trick for me on a different model Samsung washer. Thank you so much!

This actually helped me get out of SUdS! Thank you !!!

Thanks for the instructions. A little tweaking on my end and VIOLA works perfectly

I opened up front door check switches for main door and small door put back and started to work I did not know that these devices have such a nice diagnostics tools and self tests Thank you all We are clean again 😀

Omg 😳 THANK YOU SO MUCH 😊 I was about to call a repair guy but I watched this video and it totally works again.

You saved my day my washing machine was locked and I couldn’t unlock I tried doing this by switching off and pressing the power and pause button for 5 secs and then turned it on I was able to unlock the washing machine

Thank you! I wish I would have seen this video before breaking my washer down looking on the control boards for some type of reset button.

❤ thank you! Thought my machine had gone to heaven. 😊

Thanks Dude just spent 2 hours messing with washer too much sudds your the only one to say turn off and on again I should have treated it like a computer thanks

Hi Michael, thanks for the video. I tried this a while back and it worked amazingly, however, the problem has reared its head again and this time, the reset is not working. You mention to make sure that the machine is turned "off" but since the machine is not powered up, there are no indicators showing what position the washer is in ie. whether it is actually off. How can you tell if its off when the power is not coming on and all the LEDs are out?

Thank you, thank you, thank you. My Samsung washer was blinking PC, and I was about to lose it because it isn't old at all. I did what you said, and viola it's working!!

Thank you, thank you, thank you !! You made my day ........... 30min later the problem came back again :((

Thank you for this. This saved me an expensive visit from the Geek Squad

Thanks for your videos! I watched both this system reset and the breaker videos. Unfortunately neither worked, any other potential solutions?

Worked like a charm. Thank you Michael! Any idea what can cause the machine to do this? Bought mine a few months ago and it's strange that it has this issue already.

I was a shade away from freak out. Thank you for this video!!!!!

Hi, Thanks for the video we've tried the unplug and 5sec procedure, still no joy. Please can you advise on next steps??

Worked like a champ- appreciate the simple fix-you rock

Thanks so much, mine wouldn't power up and i was just about to go buy a new one( this one 9 yrs. old) and it worked

Thanks so much !!! I had my son do it and you saved me some money !!! Again thanks

About to get the new washing machine. Thank you!!

Thank you so much for this tip.... This works.... Hope you have a great day..

Working man! You saved me! My Samsung washing machine working again.

lol this also just worked on my Kennore!!! thank you so much!!

AMAZING!!! Mine’s a different model, I’m in the UK, but it looks somewhat similar. Did exactly what you said, and we’re back on! Brilliant. Thought it was dead. 😩🤣 Thank you so much! 🙏🏼

Thanks!!! worked on a WW12H8420EW washing machine.

Thank you so much Michael, you saved this woman $$$$$$$ :)

Worked a treat, thank you! And to think I was just about to buy a new one, you saved me $700, or $300 on a repair man

Thank you thank you thank you!! This trick worked and saved my sanity!

Can confirm this works with WF50A86, even with the light touch buttons. Thank you so much!!!

You just improved what has thusfar bering a ridiculously aggravating day since the moment I got out of bed. I could kiss you❤ Thanks for helping one thing go right today.

Seems to have sorted the issue- cheers Mike

Thanks a lot! Your tip works for my washer✌️✌️

Crazy that it was this easy it worked like magic thank you!

Thank you 🤣 I thought I had to ring an engineer.. Works a treat

Lol thanks for this…saved me a headache.

Thanks for this advice. It worked. I am hitting subscribe for that advice. Have small kids, very important to have washing machine in order.

Thank you so much! This worked on my Samsung machine.

You rock, thanks for the tip!!!!! Worked like a charm

My problem was the panel would turn on but not responding with any buttons or knobs. The temperature and all buttons were going crazy, flashing and blinking. I have the activewash aquajet. The reset shown in this video did work. Never had any indication in the past of a problem. Would be curious to know what and why this happens. Crazy how this worked without being plugged in. Kinda Terminator SkyNet scary, but a big Thank you

YOU ARE A LIFE SAVER , THANK YOU VERY MUCH, I WAS JUST ABOUT TO TOSS IT OUT

Great help 1st step worked perfectly thank you

Thanks for help, this video made my washer work about half a year by doing this reset. But I need to do it every week when I use my Samsung washer. It's always happened. Sometimes I need to try a couple times to make it power on. Do you have any suggestions to permanently fix this issue? Changing the control board? Thanks

Hi Mike It didn’t work on mine. But when I plugged it it makes the sound’s it normally makes but it won’t do anything…I do hear a clicking sound inside the panel

I tried this life hack and it worked thank you

This help unlock the washer door. Thank you so much!❤

You the man, Michael!...THX👏👏👏

it actually worked thank you so much😩

Thank you, the video helped. Any idea what's the reason behind why the washer isnt working in the first place?

Miracles do exist! Blessings to you!

Thank you soooo much u made day stay blessed 😍😍😍😍

Why the softener doesn’t work.. looks like plug.. how I can resolve the problem? I like how you show to restart 👍🏻👏🏼

Thank you brotha! Was about to purchase another one. In my case this worked on a different model samsung.

Problem is you didn’t show this working on a non power Samsung washer machine

Fantastic!!!! Worked for me and I’m sure saved hundreds.

Thank you for your helpful vid. Is there a reason why it just stop responding?

Wauw, it worked. Now i dont have to go and cop a new one. Thanks a lot sir :-)

I think it worked saved me 800 bucks for a new washer..

You are a life saver! Thank you thank you thank you!

I did exactly what you said , now I’m about to see if it will wash my load correctly. So I will let you know here shortly if it work ?????

Thank you from Bangladesh. It works for my washing machine

LOL It's working❤, tbh I didn't think that will help at first😂

Damn mayne thank you a lot cause i actually started crying n now it works

Thank you SO much for this video! I have a different model, but damn it worked!

I have tried this before and it worked. This time I have a different issue and haven't found anything related to it. The washer turns on and washes but the panel is not lit up. This means I cannot see what I'm selecting. I've tried the reset and noticed an occasional flickering but that's it.

Thank you, worked perfectly!

Thank you very much for the help

Thanks, you're a lifesaver!!!!

Thank you so much, this really helped.

Doesnt the board need any power? I have similar issues and left if for sometime without power. Do i need to plug it in for sometime? Thanks alot.

Any chance you know how to release the latch that opens addwash door ? Your machine in video is same as mine. I can open main door but the little door won’t spring open.

Does it work for the Dryer as well?
