Samsung WD11K6410OX/CO washing machine Will not advance to spin mode

In the Rinse and Spin mode, starts at 21 minutes. When it gets to 14 min and the Spin icon is on, the screen goes blank, then comes back at 15 min.Tried the Test Mode procedure in your video, but all the LED's did not light. There was a strange display in the window. Turning the cycle knob does nothing.Did the Calibration with your video guidance. Not in the Test Mode, the initial strange display is different, but no other change.I suspect the controller to be at fault, but I don't believe in throwing parts at a problem without proving the cause.I have not opened the cover yet as the machine is pushed into a recess and it weighs more than I do. But I will prepare for that next step. Maybe an animal chewed wires? I'm in Panama and most appliances are outside.Thanks your your videos. Very well done.

I will try and help with this problem Samsung WD11K6410OX/CO washing machine

Living and working in various hot countries has given me a unique perspective on common issues faced by  washing machines, especially when they are situated outdoors. In these environments, it's not uncommon for pests like mice or rats to cause damage. One of the first signs of such interference is often found in the cables. These rodents have a tendency to chew through wiring, which can lead to a multitude of problems with your appliances. It is also possible that insects can crawl across the electrical connections and fry. This can also cause some weird faults to happen.

When faced with a malfunctioning machine, my initial approach is to thoroughly inspect all cables and connections. This process can be quite challenging, as it often requires moving the appliance to access hard-to-reach areas. However, this step is crucial for diagnosing the issue accurately. If, after a careful examination, the problem still persists, it's possible that the issue lies within the appliance's Printed Circuit Board (PCB). Repairing PCBs can be particularly tricky. They are typically encapsulated in plastic, which makes them difficult to access and repair. This encapsulation is designed to protect the delicate electronic components from environmental factors, but it also means that repairs often require specialized skills and tools.

It's important to note that dealing with electrical appliances, especially when potential damage from pests is involved, should be approached with caution. Safety is paramount, so if you're unsure about handling these issues, it's always advisable to seek professional assistance. Remember, a thorough inspection of the cables and connections is a great starting point, but when it comes to more complex problems like PCB repairs, relying on experienced technicians is often the best course of action.
