Hello everyone!I have been dealing with my samsung f500 washing machine (not the device listed in the title on ifixit, because my washer isn’t featured on the list), which is pretty new (12 months old).Basically, it will run flawlessly. Whatever wash I pick, it is happy and gets on with it. However, if I run another wash within 8-24 hours (it varies), the wash will stop somewhere near the beginning of the cycle, at a point where it has to spin. There, it will jerk a few times as if it’s trying to spin and finally stop, with neither the timer ticking down, nor the cycle continuing. Any wash cycle, even a stopped one (as described above) will “reset” this arbitrary clock, meaning that it takes another long wait afterwards until the washer will wash again.This goes for every kind of cycle. Even if it successfully runs a spin and drain cycle - for example - it will stop during the next cottons cycle. I have tested all individual functions (filling, spinning, draining, etc.) separately using the diagnostic mode. I have cleaned and cleared every tube and part that I can access with basic household tools and determination. I have disconnected and reconnected all electronic parts and checked them for wear or obvious damage (none, since it’s still very new).And so, I am perplexed. None of the parts I thought might be the issue are showing any faults when run individually, and the machine does run fine every so often. However, sometimes I need to run two washes in a day, and that clearly causes it to be very upset.I appreciate anyone who might be able to share some insight. I don’t know much about washers except what I’ve gathered with a few days’ research online into common faults and scouring google and various forums for fixes.Have a great day!
Check that the drain hose is not kinked or frozen and not clogged with anything.
