Hello,
I've seen a few reports of people having issues with Eco bubble washing machines cutting out or not powering on.
Ours failed during a cycle and then the next day no power. Whilst waiting for the repair engineer over a few days our electric tripped. Thought nothing of it until removing the washing machine ready for the repair.
The plug smelt funny and on closer inspection the fuse had melted and scorched the socket.
This machine is just under 5 years old. I find it strange that some of the questions on the phone during the technical quiz of the problem related to scorch marks around the plug socket. The engineer arrived and replaced the electric cable and also blown controller board..... handy having the spares already on the van.
Have Samsung a problem with boards and electrics in these machines???? Will we see a pattern in the next few years and see a denial of issues like the Hotpoint fires??

Did you have the same plug issue or something else?
We have already had the pcb failure where it couldn't stay on for more than a few minutes.
Im happy they rectified, but I don't think I would buy another either. Would be happy to get a few years out of this one though!

No you don’t take this seriously. You rep just hung up on me because I said I won’t be accepting a repair this time. Brand new December 2020 and 2 fires caused so far

exactly the same issue with my ecobubble model last week. Ours never tripped out somehow but only came to my attention when it stopped spinning. I checked the plug and the fise was black.and the inside of the plug was melted. There were scortch marks on the socket. in test mode error code UC and 3E. No errors when u put a wash on ! just sits idle on spin. Getting someone out to check plug and socket. Could have easily been a fire. so dangerous

Another user with the exact same issue here. Mine is a WF80F5E0W4W/EU. Stopped mid cycle and when I went to check the fuse, found this.
Has anyone had any luck getting a resolution on an out of warranty machine?
