Samsung WW80J5555FW Washing Machine Not Spinning

I will try and help with this problem about Samsung WW80J5555FW Washing Machine,

Hi John,

Thanks for reaching out about your Samsung WW80J5555FW washing machine. It's frustrating when appliances don't work as they should, and I'll do my best to help you troubleshoot this spinning issue.

You mentioned it's not spinning, and to give you the best advice, it would be helpful to know if it's still washing or if it's completely dead. This will help us narrow down the possibilities.

One of the most common culprits in Samsung WW80J5555FW washing machines, especially if it's not doing anything at all, is worn-out carbon brushes in the motor. These brushes are responsible for conducting electricity to the motor, and over time they can wear down. If they become too short (less than a centimeter) or the tips are charred, they won't conduct properly, and the motor won't spin. To check them, you'll need to remove the motor, which can usually be accessed from the back of the machine. There are often a few screws holding it in place.

If the washing machine is washing but not spinning, it's likely an issue with the drainage system. The machine needs to be able to drain the water effectively before it can move into the spin cycle. Here are a few things to check:

• Sump Hose: This hose runs from the bottom of the drum to the pump and can sometimes become blocked with debris like coins, lint, or hair. Disconnect the hose and check for any blockages.
• Pump: The pump itself can also become clogged or the impeller (the rotating part inside the pump) might be jammed. You can usually access the pump by removing the front panel of the machine. Make sure it's clear of any debris and that the impeller turns freely.
• Dual Pumps: Some Samsung models have two pumps – one for circulating water to the door seal and another for draining the water out. Make sure you're inspecting the drain pump.
• External Blockages: If your washing machine drains into a sink unit, check the sink's drainpipe for any blockages that could be restricting water flow. A slow drain can sometimes cause the machine to "time out" and prevent the spin cycle from starting.

I've included a link at the top of the page where you can find spare parts for your Samsung WW80J5555FW machine, including carbon brushes, pumps, and hoses. I also sometimes have second-hand parts listed at the bottom of the page, so it's worth checking there for potential savings.

You mentioned diagnostic mode. Unfortunately, Samsung  hasn't made the workshop manual for your specific model available to me, so I can't give you detailed instructions on that. However, the process is often similar across different models. You might find it helpful to check out the videos on my YouTube channel – just search for "Samsung washing machine" and you'll see a range of troubleshooting and repair guides.

I hope this information helps you get your washing machine spinning again! If you have any more questions or run into any difficulties during the repair, please don't hesitate to contact us. We're always happy to help.
