Samsung WF80F5E0W4W stops at varying stages without an error code

The problem
The washing machine stops at different points in the cycle. It sometimes completes a full wash, but at other times the programme can take an extremely long time.
Likely cause
The accepted reply says one possible cause, seen on some machines without an error code, is an open-circuit heating element. However, the fault pattern could have several different causes and no single cause was confirmed.
What fixed it
No confirmed repair was documented. The accepted advice was that this type of intermittent stopping fault needs proper diagnosis rather than assuming the PCB is at fault. Further diagnosis should be carried out by a suitably qualified appliance engineer.
Checks to try
  • No error code was reported
  • Programmes sometimes complete fully and sometimes stall for very long periods

Safety: Further diagnosis should be carried out by a suitably qualified appliance engineer.

These days it's rare for a washing machine fault not to trigger an error code and abort. There are anomalies, one of which with some washing machines if the heating element goes open circuit it can cause a washing machine to stick without causing an error. The nature if this fault is that it could be so many different things you would need an engineer to diagnose it.
