Washer runs full cycle but clothes come out dirty or with detergent residue — caused by the recirculation pump failing to spray water through the tub during washing.
A loud buzzing or humming sound during the wash cycle with no visible water movement indicates the pump motor bearings have seized or the impeller is jammed.
Washing cycle duration is unusually long or the machine pauses unexpectedly because the control board detects insufficient water flow from the recirculation pump.
Water fills the tub normally but remains stagnant without recirculation — the pump motor has failed electrically and no longer drives the impeller.
💡 Pro Tip: Is Your Recirculation Pump Failing?
Your part is likely the culprit if you notice any of the following:
⚠️ Clothes come out still dirty or detergent residue remains after the cycle
⚠️ Washer makes a loud humming or buzzing noise during the wash cycle but water doesn't seem to spray
⚠️ Wash cycle runs but water sits stagnant instead of recirculating through the tub
⚠️ Samsung error codes related to water circulation or pump failure appear on the display
To confirm failure: unplug the washer and use a multimeter to test the pump motor terminals for continuity. A reading of OL (open line) with no continuity confirms a burnt-out pump that needs replacement. Always shut off the water supply and unplug before servicing.
