Samsung washer not working

[fleetline]

I am a newbie, not sure if I am posting in the right place-

I have a Samsung washer, model WA40J3000AW-A2 that was given to me recently (pic below) I believe it's roughly 3-4 years old. Previous owner couldn't make it work. It is very clean and still looks new.

Power goes on, but when you press Start, it makes a low buzzing sound for about a minute, releases a little water into the basin, then stops and does nothing else. Turning it off/unplugging doesn't seem to help. I'm thinking maybe it was banged or shook, causing something to come loose.

I would like to fix it. I am a fairly good auto mechanic but not much experience with appliances

Are there any combination reset methods for this model?

Thank you!

Where is the buzzing sound coming from?

Under the basin(?) bottom area, like it's trying to do something. Stays like this for 30 seconds, then it stops. Nothing else happens.

@fleetline I would suggest removing the back panel if it has one - check to see if the pump is what is buzzing - maybe something stuck in the pump not letting it turn.

This doesn't have a display so don't know how it would indicate errors on this model.

Being it's most likely empty of any water when you received it - even if the pump was jammed with something in it I would still expect it to continue on into the cycle unless this model checks the pump first - Also if you don't have it hooked up to water the buzzing could be the water valve opening trying to let water in, (do you have it hooked up to water?).
