      All Appliantology tech members are invited to join in this workshop on all things Appliantological. 
      We have a special session planned for this one. Instead of the usual Show 'n Tell on a technical topic, we're going to post tech sheets in the comments to this Calendar Event (scroll down to see what's posted so far) and ask specific questions that can only be answered by reading the tech sheet. If you at least try to answer the questions beforehand, you'll get a lot more out of it. The tech sheet and the questions are posted in the comments section below.
      Your mission, if you should choose to accept it, is to check out the questions for each one and try to answer them ahead of time. Then come to the Dojo to see how well you did! 
      Who: This workshop is only available to tech members at Appliantology.
      When: Saturday, April 27 @10:00 AM Eastern Time.
      Where: Online via Zoom
      How:
      Click here to go to the forum topic with the registration link. If you're interested, register now. Arrive a couple minutes early to make sure your connection is working. Set a reminder for yourself for this workshop so you don’t miss it.  And check out past workshops here: https://appliantology.org/announcement/33-webinar-recordings-index-page/

Samsung washer no power to front panel

Washer started a wash cycle and suddenly stopped.  Verified power to the back of the front panel (Pin#1 and Pin#3, at CN5 per Samsung tech info).

The tech info indicates an AC POWER CHECK at (Pin#1 of CN5 and Piin#1 of CN6) except I do not see a CN6 on the schematic or on the board.

After looking closely at the back of the front pane, some components appeared to have gotten hot or were discolored.  So having little else to go on, I ordered a new front panel.

Installing new front panel did not resolve the problem.  There are clothes in washer of course and a little water.  Of course, the door is latched.

 If anyone knows how to override the door latch, that would be helpful. 

Any ideas of how to proceed would be appreciated.

This is a Samsung WF 337 AAW / XAA model about (8) years old.  Never had any issues until this event.

You should be able to reach into the machine from the top and pull down the manual release for the lock.  CN5 should give you 120 VAC.  CN1 and CN2 are the connectors for the display PCB but unfortunately the fast track doesn't tell us what voltages to look for and where, so there's no way to know that at this point.  However, if you have AC voltage to the main PCB and you've already replaced the display PCB, barring a problem with the connections, you probably have a bad main PCB.
