Samsung washing machine P1253

[Zehroni]

Dear All,
My Samsung washing machine P1253 goes thought the following steps When I select the quick wash program:-
• The timer display 35 minutes
• Water start filling the machine
• The machines spines anti clock wise for a few second then stops for at approx 10 minutes

I initial thought the motor brushes, when I checked the still have a good length I them. In fact they are as good as the new spare ones I have.
No error code has shown yet.
Any idea it is behaving like this

It sounds like a fault in the motor circuit...but not on the motor itself.
If it was a motor fault you ought to have seen an "EA" or "EB" error code in the display.
From your description & the lack of a valid error code I would suspect the motor reversing relay on the pcb is faulty.
This usually means a new pcb...if you can get hold of one

Zipper,
Many thanks for your reply. It run for more then 3 hours doing just that (rotate anti clock wise for few seconds then stops for 10 minutes). But it is now stopped completely displaying 3E error.

3E can signal a motor error.
Check the tacho on the end of the motor for an open circuit, short, or loose/damaged shaft magnet. Then check the motor plug connection.
If those check out the chances are the motor is ok & the problem is the pcb (shorted motor triac or blown relay).

I took the motor off and had a good look at it. I also checked all the wires connection surrounding the motor and did not spot any damage or loss connection. I think the PCB is playing up. However, I checked it visually and could not see any burring mark or sing of overheating or something has blown. But it is an electronic broad and visual checks are not conclusive.
I am looking for a PCB, many thanks for taking the time to help.
