What needs replaced the motor control board it displays code 3e

This video will help you diagnose the fault on your samsung 3e error codes and the video will help you solve the problem

E3 Error: Machine control is attempting to drive the motor but is not seeing any tach response. Visual check shows motor is not moving. (Locked, Hall Sensor fault). The hall sensor is a circuit in the motor. the motor will need to be replaced. Here is a link to the motor.

The 3E error code indicates a motor problem. If you have a volt/ohm meter and are comfortable working around live electricity I can give you a few checks that will help you diagnose the problem.

Always unplug or de-energize electrical equipment before removing covers or attempting service. Be careful and wear appropriate hand protection when working around sharp metal parts. If you are not already sure you can perform these checks safely and competently, refer this work to a qualified professional. Working with live electrical current can be very hazardous and possibly deadly. Testing voltage output requires working with electrical current. Do not attempt these measurements without the proper tools and safeguards.

I have included a set of illustrated instructions (See below). These should step you through the process of disassembling your dryer and testing the motor. If the motor tests outside of the ranges listed, replace the motor. If the motor ohms correctly, replace the main control board. Note: If possible ohm the motor from the control board.

You probably fixed the problem by disconnecting and reconnecting the motor wire harness. The attached tech bulletin has more info on the E3 code.Attachment: TDL-0078-B.pdf (need register for free).

3E - MOTOR RESTRICTION ERROR
Hall Senior is sensed every 5OOms. 1 second after motor starts to work.

If data of hall sensor is less than 2 (2RPM), the Washing motor will stop at once.

During Washing and Rinsing when a motor restriction is sensed, the motor stops and then proceeds to the next water -flow action. If the motor stops working and this happens in one direction ten times, "3E" Error is displayed.

During dehydrating. when a motor restriction is sensed. the motor stops working and then returns to the initial stage of the dehydration unbalance sensing cycle. After ten times, "3E" Error is displayed, When the motor Is told to stop because of an operating function. no error is shown.

Power 81W OFF can clear the motor restriction error.

A 3E error is an overcurrent detection at the motor. Some people say that unplugging and re-plugging the connector at the motor clears up the problem.
Discussed here: http://applianceguru.com/forum2/6484.html

3E == overcurrent detected at the motor.

Open the control panel, there you will find a tech sheet that explains how to put the machine into service mode and what to do while in service mode to track this down. Once on service mode, you can cycle through and retrieve all diagnostic codes. You will also find serveral other diagnostic service notes. Read them and follow the instructions to test the motor, motor control, and main control board.

I have a GEW9200LW0 whirlpool dryer, that displays 3E when I try and start the dryer. nothing happens,All i get is the 3E code.
