My Samsung front load washer (wf0500nce) suddenly wouldn’t turn on - press the power bottom and nothing happens - no lights, no life. The outlet, the plug and the cable are all fine. I took out the door switch and tested it for continuity and that checked out (although i am not sure if there being continuity means door switch is OK). I manually depressed the spring loaded switch to simulate the door being closed but it still wouldn’t turn on. How do i go about finding the fault? Update (06/09/2017) Is this the fuse?:

https://i.imgur.com/s0NJOsd.jpg Update (06/09/2017) I don’t see any fuse from noise filter to board. I do see what i think is the fuse in the board. I circled it in the picture. Sorry my phone’s camera isnt the best. https://i.imgur.com/Bd2h65G.jpg Update (06/09/2017) Yes oldturkey03, I am not showing any voltage on the relay you marked in the picture above. No 125v, no 220v…just 0. Do you think it could be the fuse at the board that’s blown?

Kato x there should be a fuse between the noise filter and the Main PCB. Check the fuse on the inside of your washer. Check that one for continuity and/or check to see if you have power on the Main Control PCB (blue wire from noise filter to connector Main on PCB Main Control). Let us Know what you find.
Update (06/10/2017) Kato x let us know what the numbers on your circuit boards are. That way we might find more of a board schematic for that. See if you have any power on the line after the noise filter as well as the connector marked in the image
First unplug it for five minutes to allow it to reset. Then see if it responds.
Pretty sure the problem with all of these Samsung front load washers displaying no power issues is due to a burnt out IC on the main control board. It’s a 6 legged IC responsible for power management/ power supply as well as start up power. The part number is: 2QR2280Z. If this IC is playing up it will also cause many other issues including: spinning issues, draining issues as well as no power whatsoever to the machine. That’s not to say this is 100% the cause of the problem but I’ve fixed a couple of these Samsung washing machine boards displaying no power issues and that IC was the culprit. Hope this helps someone else.
thank you for you help and for your information. but… right now my washing machine can’t wash , the water is always wasted… so there’s a soaking process when its paused what should i check for it Best regard Boga Dj
