You might have an object jammed in the pump housing. First thing you must do is to unplug the machine from the power outlet.You will then need to remove the back panel of the washer to access the pump. Disconnect the wiring from the pump and remove the two hoses by compressing the two clamps. ( Be ready for water to pour out of the hoses) Remove the three mounting bolts that hold the pump to the frame of the washer and remove the pump assembly. It is easier to work on the pump if you remove it from the mounting plate. Remove the three screws that hold the impeller housing to the pump motor. Seperate the two parts being careful not to damage the rubber o-ring that seals the unit. Inspect the impeller housing for any debris. (I found a nickle blocking the outlet port in mine). Remove anything you may find and reassemble in reverse order. The machine should reset itself and run as normal.
Good luck!

Had this same issue and decided to check it out myself since I didn't have the warranty on my machine.

Before the machine can start the spin cycle, it needs to drain the water that touches the drum. If it cannot do this, you will get the "nd" error code which means "no drain". This can mean your drain pump is screwed or that something is jammed somewhere in the drainage patheway.

First drain the water using the little hose in the front of the washer. This can be done faster by putting the machine in test mode and test the drain pump. it'll push the water out much faster. Once you've drained the water, flip that bad boy on its side and start taking apart the hoses starting with the ones leaving the drum first. That is where I found my obstruction, a quarter :/ If there is nothing there, keep going till you hit the drain pump. You'll have to take it out to really get in there and unclog it. DO NOT HIRE SOMEONE TO DO THIS! I had never done anything like this before and was able to easily figure it out. GOOD LUCK!

    Hi, I have the same problem, but am not sure how to access the pump. It's located at the front of the washer, and I can't reach it from the back. WHen you say "flip that bad boy on it's side, how are you accessing the pump? From the bottom, or do you remove a front or side panel?

Samsung vrt front load washer WF218ANB/XA Burned up the drain pump. Installed a new one, now washer will work until the spin cycle. In spin cycle the door lock clicks and it will not drain or spin

Make sure the drain filter is not clogged. Most Samsung have an access door in the lower right hand corner to access and clean out this filter. If this is clogged or the drain hose is clogged, you will have these spin and drain problems.

Samsung washer keeps rinsing and draining and back through same cycle

Hi.
This sounds like the load is out of balance, and the machine is refilling to re-distribute the load. It senses the load during the beginning of the spin cycle.
It could be that the load is too small or that the garments have different density and water (weight) retention.
It could also be that the springs on the rods which support the bowl have sagged and have allowed the bowl to hit the out of balance switch. It could even be that the machine is rocking because the feet are not adjusted evenly..
I hope this helps you work out the problem.
Good luck.

On the spin cycle my samsung front load washer wibbles and vibrates badly. I have replaced the shocks but that didn't work. What else could it be?

Check that it is level and that all the water is draining out when the wash cycle is complete. Check that the wash drum and all associated parts are correctly in place and are secure. Check the drum for excessive play, replace defective parts.
Also look for loose objects from clothing that may be jammed out of site but causing centrifugal throwout vibration.

When the cycle doesn't advance, it's probably the timer or a cold-water supply problem:

  • It's the timer, if your washing machine fills with water and begins agitating, but the timer never advances--or if the washer is in a spin cycle and the timer won't advance. Then you need to replace the timer.


  • It may be a cold-water supply problem, if the washing machine fills with water, agitates, drains, and spins, but then doesn't fill with rinse water. See There's no cold water.
