How Adjust the Water Level in Samsung Front Loader Washing Machine

How Adjust the Water Level in Samsung Front Loader Washing Machine
Great job explaining. Thank you but I have another issue with mine. I have the same system and it's hooked up correctly. It's been a week of full sun also but the display has NO arow from panels to battery indicator and also when I connect loan, it shows E 11
I can't watch this the camera is shaking too much
Thanks for the explanation! and thanks to the videographer!
How do you set the controller battery type? I was going to buy the solar panel kit. I already have a 50ah lithium battery and am wondering how to set that controller for the lithium battery I have.
Thank you so much 💓 One of our batteries was dead. Couldn't figure out how to use the controller. Our neighbor gave it to us, and we don't know how to use it yet.
Amp output is the figure you want to look at. Controllers like those are 4 or 6 amps. Anthing higher amp draw will pop breaker on controler. If more amps needed get their inverters that hook to batteries and get more output 4500 watt 10 amp inverter will run a small refrigerator like in campers. Run batteries in series/phase, also for more amp output. Or bigger Charge control center, nice ones with batteries all in one package. 30 amps and 230 volts on one that I seen.
Thank you
This is the best explanation of this controller ❤ thanks a bunch! From Wahnapitae Ontario Canada.
Your camera moves so much I couldn't see anything
sorry s/he chicken eater geik egg/baby thief cannibal , 14.4 fast recharge after maximum use of allotted time/sun/power so batteries back to optimum or 13.8
Great explanation for the use of the controller
3 years later- how did this setup work out for you?
I'm the desert getting plenty of sun. I'm only getting 11.8 volts currently in direct sunlight. Should I try cleaning the panels or checking connections?
Looking for the id with proper instructions on the other settings like changing the min/max voltage and changing the voltage cutoff. I already made changes to mine, more charge! AGM & Lithium 💪
Thank you so much! I tried to find info on this little controller. Had a code pop up. But wanted to learn more. You explained this better than anything I found. You helped me.
Thank u so much for this! My clothes actually get wet now!
Okay i broke it😂😂😂ill keep going😂😂😂😂😂 thanks though you go girl. Theres a deep fill option button.
Oh nice! My oldie models didnt have that! Im back on grid for now, and house came with a regular tub style washer. I must say, i love it!
To Off Grid North Idaho, Thank You, Thank You, Thank You. We have put up with very low water levels in our Samsung Front Loader. I followed your instructions and it is absolutely bloody perfect now! You are a dead set Legend! Thanks again from Lake Cathie Australia.
I have that but my controller looks different….
I'm trying to learn about solar. Thanks for sharing. Much Blessings to you. 🙏 Lord-Jesus-Christ ✝c✝o✝m
Is there a setting to change when you run 2 batteries?
I like your videos. I bought the kit if i only want to use one 25watt panel can i bypass the connector? Instead of connecting all 4
How do you change the maximum volts?
Great video very informative straight to the point and well spoken thanks for sharing!
Thank you very much, sister - this is exactly what I was looking for! ❤
Thanks! A awesome detailed description of how Thunderbolt charge controller works! You are the best!
I still refer back to this video when I forget how to use it.
Amazing! You are an inspiration. I live here too so I understand the challenges.
So if you turn off the light button, there’s literally no difference in the normal setting and the boost setting.
This is modifying a manufacturer’s design, This is dangerous! When you change something like this, you have NO IDEA what else will be affected. (if you have to remove exterior panels to access something, then the manufacturer doesn’t want you to access it). One of the benefits of front loader machines is that they use less water and clean better. The machine shown with lots of suds is NOT BETTER. It will actually make poor washing results. On front loading washers, you must use HE (high efficiency) detergent. It does not make suds like that. Suds will cause a leak that is not truly a leak. The door seal can’t hold back suds. And no, this will not make it fill any faster or with any more pressure. (pressure and flow rate are different things and are unrelated to level which is measured by weight).
You buy a washer to clean ur clothes not to save the dam water
Blah blah blah. Interesting how you found this video though ….
Nonsense. I tested this theory across four front loader washing machines... and using less water DOES NOT produce better washing results. It leaves your clothes smelly and full of detergent. Part of the proof is how manufacturers are trying to stop people from doing it (removing high water level options from menu or hiding the adjustment screw), it means lots of people are trying to do it, so there must be a reason (otherwise why waste water and money).
well done
Never underestimate a smart female with electronics
Have you thought about a solar generator
Doesn't the wax drip down to the bottom of fire and build up? Do you have to scrape it off when the wax hardens?
I just bought one of these for my barn and posted a video also. Thanks for the great information
I just bought this set up, hey thanks now I don't have to read the dumb book
Maybe I missed it, but sometimes on the first screen the black arrow from the solar panels to the battery flashes. Sometimes the battery flashes like it's filling up. Do you know the difference?
This was very helpful. Please give an update on how this product has held up
This video has helped a bit, But I’ve been having issues with mine. And now my display controller isn’t working. I literally just bought the kit over the weekend. Disheartening after all the money I spent at Harbor Freight. And the Harbor Freight people barely know what they’re talking about. Had to call a technician and even then I’m still having issues… The box says it can power an rv or camper, and the Harbor Freight person told me two fully charged batteries and solar the batteries would last four days. I can’t even get mine to stay on more then a few minutes without the Display controller Truly disappointed, I feel scammed (by Harbor Freight), honestly because I spent way more money on this then I should’ve to get what I needed to run everything. Camper is an 30amp, and I have the Jupiter 2000 Inverter. But at least the solar will run for a while during the daytime, for now at least…
Very helpful info. The Shaky cam is difficult to watch though. Thanks for posting.
Good video, good luck with that thing, mine does good to keep a cell phone charged and use one of the lights that came with it once in a while. Have it on a new trolling deep cycle battery. And if you give it a few days between using it, gives plenty of power, but I'm off the grid and don't have days for the junk system to catch it up
Thank you
So cool to see this from the start! You’re really inspiring
This was so helpful and just what I needed. Thank you! Be well.
Good luck to you, I also live in N. Idaho, so I see why you love it here and want to stay! You can do it!👍💪
We are here to support you. Good to hear your positive attitude.
Thank you!
You are very determined & already have a lot of experience from the last few years. It's good timing with the kids now teenagers instead of little ones. They can be a lot of help! It will be fun to see the trailer progress, get color & furnishings. That's exciting about the possible spring! It would be good for videos to show how you dig it out & what you use it for.
I want to see " ALL 4 OF YOUR KIDS WORKING AS HARD AS YOU " .. !!
Sorry for the not-totally-professional editing on this one! It's been a while since I shot and edited a video, and I realized I had some strange auto-focus things going on, and then I was talking to a very dark and dimly lit bathroom wall for way too long, LOL!! I'll get back up to speed on all this, and probably get the teenagers involved - they're like pros at this video editing thing, haha!
Don’t be sorry your doing just fine God Bless
Thank you, I just assembled mine today for the 1st time, this helps a lot. Tomorrow I will bring ut out again ant put a load on it to see how it performs.
That's awesome! Let me know how it does with the load on!
@@OffGridNorthIdaho ruclips.net/video/LfbqKdj3OCk/видео.html This is the 1st video I made a daybor two ago. Cycling through the controller is a little difficult for me, I believe it I leave it alone and when I start it, the 1st display if arrow is blinking from the panel to the battery it tells me the actual voltage coming in to the batteries from the panel. Am I correct in saying this? Thank you for responding.
