After completing a load of laundry the washer started beeping and displayed an error code f5. (the symbol is actually and upside down f) i turned it off and put in a new load of clothes. it will start working for just a couple seconds then begin beeping and displaying the error code. according to the manual this code means temperature sensor problem. i called around but nobody can get out to fix it for at least a week and the prices are crazy. and of course it's just past warranty expiration.
It may not be your temperature sensor or thermistor. If you have a tE error code on your Samsung washing machine, first check the wiring. My Samsung washer had three visits by the repair tech. and new parts ordered again and again. I looked on a British web site and two people said that it turned out to be wiring broken in several places. Sure enough, I found a broken wire. Technician didn't look for that. Hope it's as easy for you.
Water Temperature Sensor Error
If during the water heating step in the wash cycle, the water temperature sensor (NTC) value is out of range, or the heating element circuit has failed, the "F/05" error code will be displayed.
Potential Causes
•Check the Water Temperature Sensor, Heating Element and Element Relay
•Check connections to the Sensor, Heating Element and Relay

exact same problem and getting a new temperature sensor is turning out to be a real pain. I have been waiting for 8 days now and all I keep hearing is that the part will be in sometime this week, not holding my breath. I have discovered that obtaining samsung washing machine parts is a miracle in itself. My washer is only approximately 2 years old, not happy. I have model wf306law/xaa
