Solution Summary

AI-generated from this discussion

This thread was marked as solved. Here's a summary of the problem and the fix, generated from the discussion below.

Samsung WF70F5E5U4W intermittent spin failure with 3E2 motor-related fault

The problem
Samsung washing machine WF70F5E5U4W sometimes would not reach full spin speed, dropping from 9 minutes to 1 minute. In test mode on SPN it could reach 1400 rpm and then show fault code 3E2. Later, the fault became consistent in test mode and during a wash cycle the motor stopped and would not turn.
Likely cause
The discussion supports a motor-related fault only. A forum reply found 3E2 grouped with Samsung motor issue errors, but no precise component fault was confirmed.
What fixed it
No confirmed repair was documented. The only advice given was to switch the appliance off at the mains for 1 minute and restart, but this was not confirmed to resolve the problem. Further diagnosis should be carried out by a suitably qualified appliance engineer.
Checks to try
  • Observed spin timer dropping from 9 minutes to 1 minute
  • Ran SPN test mode
  • SPN test sometimes reached 1400 rpm before showing 3E2
  • Later 3E2 appeared every time in test mode
  • Observed motor stopping during wash cycle
  • Main PCB changed
  • Motor (BLDC) changed
Parts or tools mentioned
  • Main PCB
  • Motor (BLDC)

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

Hello, could it be this? Washing machine won’t spin just one item or very small load

Sorry, my list of Samsung error code shows error E2 and error 3E, but nothing about an error 3E2. We can't assume that the other 2 errors are related in any way just because they are similar because they are clearly different.

However, I've just found another source which says the following, which is actually quite unhelpful unfortunately -

Errors 3C, 3E, 3E1, 3E2, 3E3, 3E4

Motor issue

Switch off the appliance at the mains then wait 1 minute.

Switch the appliance back on again and start a new programme.

It is highly unlikely that just switching it off for a minute at the mains will fix it but of course it is surprising how many times unplugging an appliance for a minute or 2 and plugging it back in does fix certain issues.
