WARNING WHILE SERVICING • Check if the power plug and outlet are damaged, flattened, cut or otherwise degraded. 4 If faulty, replace it immediately. Failing to do so may result in electric shock or fire. 4 If plug is faulty replace it, if outlet in consumers home is faulty have consumer call an electrician to replace. • Completely remove any dust or foreign material from the housing, wiring and connection parts. 4 This will prevent a risk of fire due to tracking and electrical hazard. • When connecting wires, make sure to connect them using the relevant connectors and check that they are connected properly. 4 If tape is used instead of the connectors, it may cause fire due to tracking. • Make sure to discharge the PBA power terminals before starting the service. 4 Failing to do so may result in a high voltage electric shock. • When replacing the heater, make sure to fasten the nut after verification that it is inserted into the bracket-heater. 4 If not inserted into the bracket-heater, it touches the drum and could cause noise and electric leakage. WARNING AFTER SERVICING • Check the wiring.
This document can not be used without Samsung's authorization. CAUTION BEFORE SERVICING • Do not sprinkle water onto the washing machine directly when cleaning it. 4 This may result in electric shock or fire, and may shorten the product’s life cycle. • Do not place any containers with water on the washing machine. 4 If the water is spilled, it may result in electric shock or fire. This will also shorten the product’s life cycle. • Do not install the washing machine in a location exposed to snow or rain. 4 This may result in electric shock or fire, and shorten the product’s life cycle. • Do not press a control button using a sharp tool or object. 4 This may result in electric shock or damage to the product. CAUTION WHILE SERVICING • When wiring a harness, make sure to seal it completely so no liquid can enter. 4 Make sure that they do not break when force is applied. • Check if there is any residue that indicates liquid entered the electric parts or harnesses. 4 If any liquid has entered into a part, replace it or ensure no remaining moisture inside the part.
This document can not be used without Samsung's authorization. CAUTION AFTER SERVICING • Check the assembled status of the parts. 4 Now is a good time to inspect your work. Review all connections and wiring, including mounting hardware. • Check the insulation resistance. 4 Disconnect the power cord from the power outlet and measure the insulation resistance between the power plug and the grounding wire of the washing machine. The value must be greater than 10MΩ when measured with a 500V DC Megger. • Ensure washing machine is level by pressing down on corners to check for any movement. If not level, adjust legs and check again until no movement is present. Verification that unit is level will reduce customer dissatisfaction and redo call. 4 Vibrations can shorten the lifetime of the product. 4 _ Safety Instructions...
