Understanding the Problem
If your Samsung WV60A9900AV washer stops draining and/or won’t spin, the result is soggy loads, error codes, and a washer that won’t finish the cycle. This symptom typically points to a drainage, locking, or motor-control issue. Modern Samsung front‑load washers use electronic controls, a drain pump, and a door interlock — failure of any of these can prevent draining or spinning. Begin by confirming whether the machine shows an error code (check the display and the owner’s manual for code meanings). Many failures are mechanical (clogged pump or kinked hose) and easy to fix; others are electrical (failed drain pump motor, door lock, or main/inverter control board) and require parts replacement. Proper diagnosis saves time and cost: start with the simplest checks and work toward replacing components only when confirmed faulty.
Common Symptoms
Washer stops mid‑cycle with water in the drum, spins won’t start, error codes (e.g., dE/UE/LE/HE/5C/SE), unusual noises from the base, or visible leakage/kinked drain hose.
Common Causes
- Clogged or blocked drain pump or drain hose (debris, lint, small garments)
- Failed drain pump motor (won’t run/hums/clicks) or worn impeller
- Faulty door lock/interlock or main/inverter control board preventing spin cycle

Helpful Repair Tip
Run a drain/spin or pump‑out cycle and listen at the bottom front of the washer — a working pump emits a steady whir or hum; a loud grinding, intermittent hum, or silence with water left behind points to a faulty drain pump. Also check the door lock: if the machine never locks, it won’t start the spin.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does it usually cost to replace the drain pump on this model?
Parts for a Samsung drain pump typically range from $40–$120 depending on supplier and OEM vs aftermarket. Labor (if you hire a technician) is commonly $100–$200 depending on region. Total cost is usually $150–$320. If the problem is a control board or motor/inverter, parts and labor will be higher.
Can I repair this myself or should I call a technician?
Basic checks and fixes (clearing a clogged drain hose, cleaning the pump filter, inspecting the door latch) are DIY‑friendly if you’re comfortable unplugging the washer and accessing the lower front panel. Replacing the drain pump or door lock is a moderate DIY job with common tools. Replacing the main control or inverter board, diagnosing motor faults, or doing bearing replacement is more advanced and may be best handled by a trained technician. Always unplug the appliance and turn off water before starting repairs, and consult a model‑specific service manual or parts diagram for WV60A9900AV.
