Hello, brand new to this forum, looking for some guidance. I have read online, watched videos, and searched this forum before coming here, as well as a few people I know irl who had the same issue ... kind of a last resort here.
Our Samsung wf337aag washer has worked fine for 10ish years. in October wife noticed that the spin cycle to drain the water etc was stopping randomly and taking hours to complete a load. I took apart the pump assembly, flushed it, checked for debris and damage. I snaked the drain hose, tested the pump into a bucket... ran the diagnostic functions and received no errors... she put a load on and same thing happened.
We resigned ourselves to a new washer. Neighbour said that the main board could have fired circuits and a little soldering might fix. Cool.
Today I took apart the front and removed the board. The rear of the front panel (attached) has what I think is scoring in the top left corner... is it? There's also lots of like yellow residue around the plastic. The main pcb assembly seems to be held in place by some sort of sealant or membrane (attached) so I can't access/see the back of the pcb ... can I remove this membrane? How?
Can i use rubbing alcohol and cotton to clean the plastic and boards? I feel like no to the actual boards.
Any other thoughts, or advice would be appreciated.
Thanks
EDIT: I think I posted this in the wrong spot... and now I can't figure out how to move it ... sorry.
