Samsung top loader VRT - loud pop then no power

Recommended Posts

I have a Samsung VRT, it was one of the ones that was recalled for the vibration/lid issue.  I just started a cycle and water just started to pour into the machine then I heard a loud pop and then there was no power.  I could smell something burning.  I took the control panel apart and saw a charred board on the backside of the power switch.  I am unsure of the model #, it's not easily found on this machine, at least not where I have it located, I think I need to pull it out and turn it around.  My questions are, is there any repair available for the control panel?  If not is it worth it to purchase a new one, and if so where can I get one?  Please see pics and advise.  Thank you, Mike

Agree with 16345Ed, You need to find the model number on the unit and look up the control board. Then once you can get a price on the control board you can figure out if it’s worth replacing it or buying a new washer. You may be able to find a used one for cheap on eBay or something if you want to go that route.

Thank you.  I found some control boards on eBay, I'll try one out since they are not that expensive.  Hopefully nothing else is wrong that may have contributed to the original one blowing.

I ordered a board, I'll report back if it works.  It's crazy how many people mix up the control board and user interface board on eBay - wrong picture with the correct part #... Hopefully I got it right.  Thank you.

Control board off of eBay fixed it.  $35 plus $15 to ship, ordered on a Wednesday from Vegas, arrived in Western NC on a Sunday.  Thanks for the help.
