MY WASHING MACHINE MODEL IS WF0700 DO YOU HAVE AVAILABLE CARBON BRUSH?
Hello. My problem is with a front loading Samsung WF203ANW/XAC model washer. The machine stops at the spin cycle and will not pump out the water and eventually returns an error “nd” (will not drain) code. I’ve researched the issues thorough and have tried everything I can think of to resolve this issue. The machine won’t pump the dirty water out and continues to stop at spin cycle. I checked the pump and did find some debris (and a dental flosser!) inside. I removed that and tried again but the same problem and error code returned. I figured that the pump itself must be defective in some way, so I ordered a new one and installed it. No joy! Same problem: keeps stopping at the spin cycle and eventually after many minutes displays the “nd” code. This is an older model and everything is located at the back at the bottom left. Is there anything else I can try to get this machine working properly? Is there a clog possibly located somewhere else that I need to check? I’ve shop-vac’d the lines pretty thoroughly to suck anything out. Do you think it might be an issue with the circuit board? If so, how can I check? Obviously, there’s a limit to the time and money that is worth investing in the problem but well worth fixing myself if I can. Anyway, I’m at a loss….. Thank you.
