    Problems With Samsung Flatscreen TV

    4:3 is the older picture format that suits the slightly older squarer tube tv's compared to the present current tv's now being produced which have a 16:9 format which is longer and narrower picture. It is the picture ratio dimensions

    Problems With Samsung Flatscreen TV

    Possibly a setting go to menu and look for picture format settings it is possible it is defaulted on auto so if there is any old 4:3 stuff comes on it will change picture formats. You will need to set it to 16:9 and save or memorise that function.

Electrolux is not a make I have worked on but if the brushes have plenty of life in them and the water is completely drained out of the tub before spin part of programme then it is time to be looking at other things starting with...

    no spin on washing machine

    Yes brushes are suspect but check to make sure all water has drained from the tub as the programme starts spin mode. If it has not ( for example a partial or complete blockage in the pump/hose )the machine will not go into high spin.
