Reversing door position Samsung washing machine

Can I change the opening direction of the door of my Samsung WF8704RSW washing machine? Looking at the the machine it appears that the possibility is there (holes, screws, bolts etc symetrical either side of the door). But posts made by Samsung on forums suggest that only dryer doors are reversible due to fixed position of door lock on washing machines. I could try myself, but I'd have to remove the rubber seal to get to the back of the door lock. Don't want to go through all that if it's anyway a non starter!

SOURCE: Whashing machine leaking

Hi my name is joyce
Yes you can fix this yourself but you really need to let a specialist do this so you know that it is done so it wont leak. it may costly at first but it will be worth it.
if you want to do it yourself go online and type in hiya.com and go to their website and type in your model # and get your ser# and then call your local dealer in your area that deals in washers of that sort and order part and go to work.. good luck..
thanks
let me know how it turns out and please remember to rate me

SOURCE: how do i change the door seal?

You'll have to find the screws that hold the door skins together. Take them out, replace the seal & reverse the order.

Samsung fully automatic washer-dryer machine model : WD-B1255 i cant open its door and it keeps giving me "5 and a 3 but looking in the opposite direction" what can i do the clothes is stuck in their

The code your machine indicates means that the debris filter needs cleaning. To do this remove the plug from the electrical supply. Using a coin open the filter cover door at the far bottom right hand side of the machine. You should see an orange coloured plastic tab, pull this forward to open the door.
Warning: If the drum still has water above the door seal it will pour out when you open the door. If this is the case there is an emergency drain tube to the right of the orange tab, pull on the tube and place it in a shallow container. Then remove the rubber plug and drain the water from the machine.
When the machine has been fully drained open the debris filter cover (large circular plastic plug to the left of the orange tab) and remove any soiling/rubbish that may have accumulated there. When complete push the drain tube (with rubber plug back in position) back into the machine, replace the debris filter cover, and then pop the filter cover door back in place. Hope this helps.
P.S Removing the plug from the power supply also resets any error codes so that should remove the error you had as well as being a safety precaution.

Fix error 1e on Samsung wf875

That's a pressure sensor error. The pressure sensor detects your water level.
If you take the top off of your wash machine, you should see a clear, plastic air tube (like the type used for aquariums) going from your outer tub to a sensor mounted on the top right of the washer (well, I think that's where it is on yours. Your model number isn't anything I have in my records). Remove the air tube from the sensor and blow through the tube to clear any obstructions. Then, put the tube back on the sensor and try to run a wash cycle. If the error code pops up again, change the hose and the sensor. If you still get it, make sure you aren't using too much soap and your drain hose isn't siphoning water from the stand pipe. Because, the next thing you are looking at is a new control board.

Good luck!

Where is the temperature sensor on a samung washing machine wf8702rsw?

Such sensors are usually located in the water input assembly where the water is mixed and the computer adjust how far the valves are open for desired water temps. Like adjusting the water valves in the shower for a desired water temp.

What does the code s e and u e on the washing machine samsung wf8704rsw display panel.

I think you probably mean 5E. This means that there is a water drain error. To clear it, turn the POWER SW OFF and back ON.
The code UE means a load unbalance and must be manually rectified by separating the clothing. To clear the error code, use the procedure outlined above.
