# Samsung WaterWall reflector repair

### A mechanism that exists on no other make in this fleet

WaterWall machines sweep a reflector along the bottom of the tub to make a moving wall of water, and Samsung reports 7E when it cannot travel properly. A large share of these are not the mechanism at all: a pan handle or a long utensil hanging through the lower rack sits in its path. The reflector should move end to end freely by hand, and if it does, the machine was reporting something that was in the way.

What this involves

7E checked for obstruction before anything is opened

Track, drive and reflector inspected as one mechanism

Loading advice that stops it happening again

Look along the track first

The reflector should travel end to end freely by hand. If it does, the machine is telling you about something that was in the way rather than about itself.

Check the track along its whole length

The reflector should travel end to end freely by hand. Where it stops is where the problem is.

Test the drive rather than replacing it

The motor, the belt and the control that runs them are measured, because an obstruction and a failed drive present identically.

Show you how it loads

A pan handle through the lower rack produces this every time, and knowing that is worth more than the repair.

### How do I know if I have a WaterWall machine?

It is usually printed on the front of the door, and there is a bar rather than a lower spray arm at the bottom of the tub. It also changes what a 1E code means on your machine, so it is worth knowing.

### Will you tell me the price before you start?

Yes, in writing, after the diagnostic and before anything is opened. Every figure on this site is a starting point; the number you agree to is the one you pay.
