As above really.

mrs called me and the washing machine gave up today its only 2.5 years old, she said it gave an error message so turned it off she was unable to tell me the code. I checked manual and unplugged it and left for 2 hours to discharge and reset but had made no difference.

when i press the power button the machine clicks 3 times (a sort of soft relay click from the display area) and then the child lock symbol comes up for a couple secs and then it turns back off again, rinse and repeat nothing else happens no other display

anyone have any ideas would be appreciated

Samsung Ecobubble 9kg powers up briefly then switches off

The problem
A Samsung Ecobubble 9kg washing machine, about 2.5 years old, stopped working after previously showing an unknown error code. After being unplugged for around 2 hours, it still would not start. Pressing the power button caused three soft clicks from the display area, the child lock symbol appeared for a couple of seconds, then the machine switched off again.
Likely cause
The accepted reply said the fault was most likely related to a main PCB power supply problem or possibly a door lock issue. The exact cause was not confirmed.
What fixed it
