So, last night my washing machine threw an SC code and would not drain. This happened last October and I took the drain pump out and there was a penny in the pump housing not allowing it to drain. When I took it apart today there was nothing in any of the lines. I ran a quick cycle with nothing in the washer and everything worked fine. I thought everything was good so I go to wash a load of towels and everything is working until it gets to Rinse + Spin and it just stops. No error code or anything. Just displays the time remaining and does nothing...Anyone got any ideas??

Run your problems through Google gemini

Put the model number in and tell gemini what it's doing. Samsung top load washing machines are the worst kind to buy.

Yea, I'm actually surprised it's been this long before I've had a problem. I've had it since 2017 and this is the first problem I've had.

Don’t buy an washing machine made by a cell phone company and don’t buy a cell phone made by speed queen

Draining issue.
While it's not a Samsung part. You can use the LG pump motor in 85% of all washers.
.4681EA2001T. It's the only one that's just a motor and is cheap. Most others you get that motor with the housing.

What happens is the impeller spins independently of the motor or but at all the motor still runs but it doesn't pump. Very common issue to fail.

Code would be UE, or UB depending on model.

My LG washer and dryer have just turned 14 years old.. but each has hundreds of dollars of parts in them.
Wife took my speed queen set in the divorce so my garage laundry machines are now my primary machines.


Also I recommend rebuilding samsung spring as non oem suck and oem are minimum $65each.
Rebuilding is easy but messy. Better than original.

I'm waiting for my washer to die so I can buy one that actually washes clothes.
