Samsung Washer and Dryer Main Control Boards

A Samsung washer or dryer is a big investment. When the main control board breaks, you can often save money by replacing the part instead of buying a new appliance. Since the Samsung main control board is responsible for the function of the washer or dryer, it’s important to pick the correct part when shopping for a new or used component on eBay.

Are Samsung main control boards one-size-fits-all?

No. The configuration of the control board varies based on the design of the appliance. That means that a Samsung washing machine PCB board is different from a Samsung dryer control board. Control boards also vary in size, shape, and design by model. A board that fits one Samsung washing machine might not fit another. This is particularly true when you’re comparing older and newer models.

When is it a good idea to buy a used Samsung washer main control board?

If you do not have the budget for a new Samsung washing machine main control board, then a used product is usually a more affordable option. Are you trying to repair an older Samsung washer or dryer? If the part is no longer in production, then used control boards might be the only options you can find. As you’re evaluating a used model, it’s important to look closely at the listing photos. Ensure that each image is free of melted parts, loose wires, or signs of overheating, such as dark spots.

Things to consider when choosing a Samsung washer control board

When you’re looking at different control boards on eBay, consider the following factors:

  • Part number: Each Samsung control board comes with a specific part number. Before you order a part, check your Samsung washer or dryer manual to find out the part number that works for your appliance.
  • Housing: You can buy control boards with or without the plastic housing that covers the electronic components. This housing protects the board from water, moisture, and dust. If your Samsung washer or dryer already has the housing or the cover, then you might be able to buy the board alone. It is usually mounted on a simple metal tray that fits into the housing. Alternatively, you can buy the control board with the housing.
  • Connections: Each Samsung control board and housing comes with a variety of connection points. They link the housing to the frame of the appliance. They also link the control board to the washer's wiring or dryer’s wiring. It’s a good idea to compare the connection points to your washer frame or your old board to make sure they match.
