Top 20 Samsung WF206ANS Front Load Washer Questions & Answers

The problem is probably in the control panel or water level switch. I just posted a procedure to clean the relay contacts for the pump motor relay. This little relay is on the control circuit board and is not normally customer accessible. But the alternative is purchasing a new control circuit board (which in my case was not available) or replacing the washer. Please refer to my solution for the problem "Drain Pump doesn't work" posted today.

If the belt is broken , lay it flat and measure it. Take 1/2 inch off for stretch and get a new one at that length. If you can't read the numbers on the belt and it isn't broken, mark the back of the belt and measure the belt from one side of the mark all the way around the back of the belt to the mark again. Do the stretch 1/2 in and get the new belt size that way.

Washer belt aren't givin out on size, they are model specific. Because not only circumference but thickness and compound so use the washers model / serial number to get the correct one

Turn on a cycle and wait for it to start. should fix the problem

Check the belt at the back, there is a small compartment where you will have to take off 4 screws and a door. Otherwise check the inside of the tub and the drum. Something maybe caught in between.

That means overflow. There is too much water in the drum. Turn the unit off and it should drain. If not then it might be a sensor that is bad.

How to fix a Samsung Washer nd washer error code. You can make this repair your self and in most cases without parts. Let me explain what the nd on a Samsung washer control panel means exactly. The nd error code stands for No Drain. When this washer error code comes up the washer will not spin either.To fix this issue you will need to slide the unit forward to access the pump if there is no access panel on the lower front. If the clean out access panel is on the lower front bail the water from the washer and twist the filter head counter-clockwise. If the front panel does not have the access panel the washer will need to be slide forward. With the washer pulled out the back access panel can be removed. With the panel removed, the drain pump will be visible. Remove the two hoses on the pump followed by the two 7/16 bolts that mount the pump down. With the pump off, you can now remove the debris inside.Put the washer back together and test for proper operation. If the error code comes back this means that the pump is clogged again or the pump has failed and would need to be replaced

I have the same washer and mine wouldn't spin out all the way sometimes leaving the clothes very heavy and wet. My problem was that the drain hose from the washer that you put inside your drain pipe had created a suction preventing it to drain properly. It might be worth checking. I know for forking out so much money on the thing it sure can be finicky.

Hi from retired Englishman in SW France,

There is probably water still left inside ;-0)
I would gently suggest that you clean the drain motor/pump lint tray/filter. So many 'faults' are caused by blocked filters and many machines will not even go to rinse or spin or release the door lock if there is any water still left inside.

Following are my complete and hopefully 'coverall' pre-typed guidance notes for checking both the drain motor filter and the drain motor ;-0)

REMOVE POWER AND ENSURE YOU HAVE A WATER RECEPTACLE/RAGS TO SOAK UP THE WATER WHICH IS BOUND TO POUR OUT (alternatively use a wet vac as sensibly suggested by VinnyB1234!)
If you are unsure where the filter is, it is often behind the front lower (kick) panel (or in some machines at the rear in an awkward position!). These panels are either held on by (plasic) screws or will just pull off. Most filters are held in by a round cover/knob. Sometimes the filter will not come out with the cover and you will have to persuade it to come out to play.
It's surprising what people have found in theirs! It is always worthwhile checking it on a regular basis.
Now- whilst the filter is removed it is normally possible to see the drain motor and ensure it is not jammed by a foreign object such as a needle or a toothpick. It should be able to be turned by hand/finger- the power IS OFF!
At this point it is also possible to test if the motor works. No clothes or water in the machine, select a spin cycle and put the power back on. You should be able to see the motor turning at some point, possibly straight away. Using something suitable like a glove see if it is easy to briefly slow the motor down. If it is easy then the motor is malfunctioning.

If this has assisted you please consider a 4 thumbs up for the rating.
Thanks and good luck!

The manual for the WF206ANS is available here: http://downloadcenter.samsung.com/content/UM/200701/20070131100335625_WF317AA_XAA_02291A.pdf . The table with the code list is on page 22 of the pdf (page E-3). A bE error is a motor speed sensor error. If the code reappears when you restart the cycle, then the washer needs service. For other codes or for service, call 1-800-726-7864 (1-800-SAMSUNG).

I hope this helps.

Remove the plug and see if the program can be activated. If not try to reset the program, if there is a failure to shut off the door lock it is possible that the program controller has failed.
If so you will need to first of all drain off the water in the tub by removing the drain hose. Please make sure that the washer is kept out to drain or there could be flooding inyour room. Once the water has drained use a long head screw driver to manually release the lock of the door.
You might have to use agood light to see the latch to release the lock.

The machine has to reset to bringg tthe lock to release, check the link to the lock settings to make the program complete the cycle and release the lock. Do not force it as you end up damaging.

three possible solutions. Internal filter is blocked. Motor brushes need replacing. Pump has stopped functioning. Check pump on drain cycle if not working check for broken wires or you might need to replace.

water fill valve screens may be plugged filling too slow or valve may be bad or is one of the hoses turned off

Won't spin if it hasn't drained. Most probably a blocked/jammed pump impellor. Manually drain it from the lower drain pump (by side tube if that model has one, or slowly into a shallow pan. Remove cap completely & check for things jamming pump.

Here is a list of issues that are common https://www.samsung.com/uk/support/model/WD0804W8E1/XEU/ but you may need a replacement control panel now. If water/liquids ingressed the control board or a bad connection on the board has happened, that is another probable cause.

Check the Door Latch and Alignment: Ensure that the door is completely shut and latched. Sometimes, clothing or debris can get caught between the door and the latch, preventing proper closure. Make sure there's nothing obstructing the door. Inspect the door seal for any damages. A damaged seal might not allow the door to close securely. Child Lock Feature: Samsung washers come with a child lock safety feature. If the child lock is engaged, it prevents accidental start of the wash cycle. Check if the child lock is activated. If so, disable it and try running the wash cycle again. Motor Control Unit (MCU) Inspection: Visually inspect the Motor Control Unit (MCU) board for any burned spots. The MCU is located on the left side behind the lower access panel. If you find burnt spots on the MCU, it might be the cause of the issue. You can order a replacement MCU if needed. Other Troubleshooting Steps: Reset the washing machine by unplugging it and then plugging it back in after a few minutes. If the problem persists, consult a technician to inspect the lock mechanism or control board.

Question edited for clarity. Check the water inlet solenoid. It sounds like it has failed. It should open and let the water in from an instruction from the controller.. https://www.google.com/search?q=Samsung+WW80v9+no+water ..
