Halfway through the cycle it beeps an E3 code and stops running?

The "E3" error indicates that a Samsung washer's motor is not running properly. The cycle can usually be restarted by pressing the "Start/Pause" button. However, if the error code appears again, you should contact an authorized service technician.

It seems there is a fault on the main controller unit of the washer. It seems to start and then drain off in mid cycle. Now choose a different program and see if there is any change. Also check individually the inlet valve, the water level sensor and also the drain valve. Also check all the connections to the main panel.

Hi,

e3 means that the control board is detecting current going to the motor, but the motor won't turn properly. If the error code comes up all the time as soon as you press the power on button, then it means your control board is bad and reading incorrectly. If it only happens during a cycle, then you need a new motor unfortunately.

Let me know,if needed further assistance.

Hope i helped you.

Thanks for using ' Fixya ' and have a nice day!!

i have a whirlpool gold quiet partner lll its has power but stopped halfway through a cycle

your fuse is bad replace fuse.

looks like a heater failure it statrs to heat at about this time into wash mode.

not sure where you can get a manual but sometimes blankets produce a lot of fluff while washing maybe the pump filter needs cleaning out the machine will not reach speed with too much water in it

E3 not hot enough. This defect can be caused by, but not only, a defective element or clogged spray arms.

Drain pump probably not working. Put machine on cycle 7 and it should turn on the drain pump straight away. you can hear this near the bottom of the machine. if it is silent hten the pump probably needs replacing. I repaired mine be removing it and then dismantle the magnet from the tube then give it a good clean out.
