Neal for Model Number Samsung Front Load washer WF42H5600AP/A2 washer works fine but won't spin... drum tries to turn .. kinda jerks while turning.. pauses and tries again then shuts off. Have checked drum, bearings and spider assy. all in good condition. Checked motor resistance and got 11 Ohms on all 3 points. Checked Rotor positioning sensor and from 1(C) to 4 = 4.75K OHMs and 1(C) to 3 = 9.4K OHMS I am guessing faulty sensor due to the reading being different. Should both be 9K OHMS I do believe. any help would be appreciated,
Answer Neal, it is likely that the sensor has failed. However, to verify this, the rotor position sensor would need to be tested while the unit is powered on but not in a cycle. With the black probe of the meter set at the orange wire and the red probe on the pink wire, there should be 5VDC. Then the red probe would be moved to the red wire and there should be a DC voltage signal when the rotor is rotated by hand. The signal should match when the red probe is moved to the blue wire. If there is not a DC voltage at the signal wires, the sensor DC31-00098A has failed. If there is not a voltage at the pink wire, the inverter control DC92-01531B or a broken wire would be suspect.
