Understanding the Problem
Thanks — I have the model (WM3670HVA) but I need the specific symptom to give an accurate repair guide. Common washer complaints include no power, won't spin or drain, loud noises during spin, not filling, leaking, and error codes on the display. Tell me exactly what the washer is doing, any error codes shown, and when the problem happens (during fill, wash, drain, or spin). If you don't know the error code, give details such as sounds (squeal, grinding, thump), where the water is (in the drum, under the machine), whether the door locks, and whether any lights or buttons flash. With that info I can list the most likely causes, the parts to check or replace (with common part numbers where available), step-by-step tests, and safe DIY instructions or when to call a pro.
Common Symptoms
No power; won't start; won't spin or agitate; won't drain; loud banging or grinding during spin; water leaks; frequent error codes or flashing lights.
Common Causes
- Faulty drain pump, clogged drain hose, or blocked filter (prevents draining)
- Failed door lock/door latch or interlock (prevents cycle start or spinning)
- Drive system fault — belt, motor, or motor control board (causes no spin or loud noise)

Helpful Repair Tip
Check the display for error codes and run the washer's diagnostic/self-test mode (consult your manual) — that will quickly point to the failed subsystem (drain, door lock, motor, etc.).
Frequently Asked Questions
What error codes should I tell you for faster diagnosis?
Write down any error code shown (e.g., UE, LE, dE, 4C, 5C, etc.) and note when it appears. Also report flashing lights, and whether the washer displays numbers or blinking patterns. That info narrows the problem quickly.
Can I perform repairs myself and is it safe?
Many diagnostics and simple fixes (clearing a drain filter, checking hoses, resetting power, inspecting the door seal) are safe for a competent DIYer with the power off. For electrical components (control board, motor, high-voltage capacitors) or if you must lift the cabinet, unplug the washer and consider a qualified technician. If the washer is under warranty, contact Samsung or your retailer before attempting repairs.
