Hi, I'm El from eSpares.
In this video, I'm going to be showing you
how to replace the motor on a Samsung ecobubble washing machine.
If you find that your drum is turning in a jolty manner
or not turning at all
it's most likely the motor that's at fault so we'll show you how to fix it.
To carry out this repair
you'll need a Phillips head screwdriver
a 10-millimetre socket
and a pair of safety gloves.
Safety first always remember to switch off
and unplug your appliance before starting any work.
To start the repair
we first need to undo the six screws here
with the Phillips head screwdriver
just to take off the back panel.
So the edges of the back panel here can be sharp
so we recommend popping your gloves on at this point
and then you can go ahead
and just lift the back panel up and away.
At this point, you'll be able to see
whether or not the belt is intact.
So if the belt slipped off
has broken or is excessively worn
stick around because we will show you later on in the video
how to fit the belt.
If the belt seems to be working fine
you'll need to remove it to carry on
and get to the motor to replace it.
So to remove the belt tug firmly down and out
and it should come away.
Now that you can access your motor.
You first want to just unclip the electrical connection
and then if you grab your 10-millimetre socket
and you just want to unscrew the two bolts here.
Now we can simply go ahead and just slide the motor out.
So now that you're ready to fit your new motor
it is important to make sure you get the right motor
to fit the exact make and model of the appliance that you've got.
So in order to do that you will need to know your model number
and if you go to our video up here
we'll show you where you can find that information on your machine.
So to refit your motor
you just need to line up these four holes here
with the four lugs inside the machine.
So the best thing to do is to grab the motor
and just pop it back into the machine first of all.
Then if you line up the top two lugs to start with
and then just position the motor.
Just slide on there we go.
So now you're ready to refit the two bolts.
So you just grab your socket as before
and just screw in the bolts.
So now you can go ahead
and just reconnect your electrical connection like so.
To fit the belt just make sure the ridged edge
is lined up with the ridged edge on this spindle here
and then just pop it round here first of all
and then what you want to do is pull the belt up
and just position it around this edging.
So once you've positioned the belt
around the edge of the pulley as far as you can
what you need to do is just pull the pulley around
holding the belt in place
and it will get quite tight if you keep pulling
and it will just attach itself onto the pulley like so.
Now we're ready to go ahead and refit the back panel.
So to do so just slot it at the top first of all
and then just slot it in at the bottom as well.
So now we can refit the six screws
just to secure the back panel in place.
There you have it
how to replace the motor on your Samsung ecobubble washing machine.

by carrying out a repair rather than getting a brand new appliance.
