Hey folks, my washing machine is making a clicking sound when I hit the power button and not powering on. No lights. Nothing on the display at all but I’m also hearing the chime sound after a few seconds. I believe I read that the clicking sound could be a sign of a bad relay on one of the boards?? Can anyone confirm this? Does this indicate a new main board is needed?

Thanks much!

I repaired a Samsung washer 3 weeks ago that had your same symptoms. To repair I replaced the main electronic control board. Although it was a different model it had your exact same symptoms.

Ok great. I appreciate the reply! Ordering the main board now!

Thanks @dashriprok for helping him.

This looks to be the main control board for his model: Assy Pcb MAIN;OWM_INV,WA8700K,297X78,Y,1 DC92-01625U

@ML5290 let us know how it goes, if you could please, Thanks!

Got the replacement main board ($100 eBay) and swapped it out. Good as new!! Thanks!
