I have a Samsung J845 front loader washing machine that will not drain or spin.

The drain filter on the Samsung model WF 328AAW/XAA is located behind the lower kick panel. To access it, you'll need to first unplug the washing machine and shut off the water supply. Then, you'll need to remove the lower kick panel by removing the screws that hold it in place. Once the panel is removed, you should be able to see the drain filter. It's a small, circular filter that is located near the base of the machine.
If the drain filter is clogged, it can cause the washing machine to not spin or drain properly. To clean the filter, you'll need to remove it and rinse it under running water until all of the debris is removed. Then, reinsert the filter and replace the kick panel.
If the drain filter is not the problem, there could be other issues causing the washing machine to not spin or drain. Some other possible causes include a faulty drive belt, a malfunctioning drain pump, or a problem with the control board. If you're unable to diagnose and fix the problem on your own, you may need to call a professional appliance repair technician for further assistance.

Possibly a short circuit to motor or PCB
Requires a competent repair engineer to fix.
Check mains supply
Check main control module
Check main drive motor

on my kenmore machine nd means the drain filter is clogged. open the cover, drain water completely, remove and clean the filter, replace filter, tighten and close cover. hope this works for you. if not , at least your drain filter will be cleaned and you can eliminate it as the problem.

Hi.

Check the drain hose, ensure it is not kinked and check height.

Access the water pump filter. This is located in front at the bottom in most front loaders, in top loaders the pump is accessed from the back or from underneath the appliance.

Clean or replace the pressure switch.

Check if the pump is working.

Some of this troubleshooting is illustrated in the following article, dealing with no spin problem. This is because drain problems are often resulting in no-spin. See: If you have no spin there may be different reasons...

I have a Samsung J845 front loader washing machine, A few weeks ago, no water would go into the machine, so replaced the broken solenoid. Now the water never stops going into the machine ??? The solenoid is working but not getting electrically turned off. When I pull the terminal from the solenoid the water stops. What has gone wrong now???

There is no belt on a front loader washing machine. The way the drum spins is by a stator in the back of the unit.

Hi
An OE error presents if the washing machine has not successfully drained the water in ten minutes.
there are a few simple steps to take before calling for service.
Step 1: Check the drain pump filter.
Items caught in the drain filter will prevent proper drainage. Over time build up can occur from detergents and additives used in the machine. Manually drain unit through the drain hose, then lay a towel down to catch the water, and remove the filter. Clean the filter thoroughly and restart the machine.

Step 2: Check the washers drain hose.
If the drain hose is not installed properly, the washer will not drain properly. The drain hose should not be installed more than 1 meter higher than the bottom of the washing machine.

Step 3: Confirm that the washer is leveled properly.
If the unit is not leveled properly, it will not drain properly. The front of the unit cannot be higher than the back or vice versa. If not properly leveled, the water can flow back into the machine. If this is the cause of the problem, please level the machine using the supplied leveling wrench. When you place a level on the washing machine, the bubble should be in the center. Confrim that the washer is leveled from side to side and front to back.
you can perform a diagonal test when leveling the washing machine to ensure that the unit does not tilt from corner to corner.

You have a blockage in the drain pump or sump on the machine, it could be anything from a coin, bra wire or an elastic band, best thing to do is switch off the electricity and incoming water, remove as much water from the machine as possible, pull machine out place a suitable container below the drain filter and then open up the filter (if fitted) once cleaned check hoses and drain pump internally for blockages.
