Brand: Samsung
Model Number: WF45K6500AW/A2
Main Symptom: drum rotates but won’t initiate spin cycle
What happens & when: gets to spin cycle and won’t ‘take off’
I couldn’t get the load to spin So I took it out and ran a few empty drum rinse and spin cycles with the same result - the water drains, the light switches from rinse to spin but the drum just kind of turns a few times and then stops over and over and the time doesn’t run down completely , keeps resetting. The drum turns fine by hand but does seem like it could be favoring one side. The water drains but when I took the filter out to check it there was soap residue, as well as the towels that were in the wash being not fully rinsed.
This all started after I ran the self cleaning cycle and took the filter out to clean it. Not sure if it’s related. I also washed a big blanket that gave me the first UB code but then I did a regular load done and then the towels after that are when it started with the issues.
I’ve narrowed it down to a drain pump, hall sensor or motor/ stator I just want to make sure before busting it open and ordering parts I’m on the right track .
Error Code (if any): gave me Ub a couple of times but no code since.
Parts or tests already tried: none.
