Will liquid electrical tape fix a dislodged start/power terminal on touchpad. Its a Samsung DMT400rhs. 11years old . Nothing broke just dislodged power terminal. It wont even powerup
@Harris0n11 surely it will work. Just a 6 post/blades that had to be glued to the underneath touchpad. In the last weeks it was hard to turn on. The heat cycle must've unglued that terminal. Check around if you don't mind. Just that piece used is $150 w/o the boards and wires. Thanks for replying
OK- so I did a modified format of this and it worked. I chose to put the entire control pad assembly (the strip with facing on it) in the oven. I lowered temp to 185 and had it in there for 25 minutes. I removed let cool and reinstalled... it worked. Just finished a few minutes ago and unit is running as it should currently. Time will tell the real story as I believe Samsung has an issue with the door opening after cycle and causing moisture to infiltrte the touch pad. I will adress that with them shortly.
I pulled mine off and simply disconnected the board. Then I sprayed some contact/electrical cleaner into the connector. Plug and unplugged a couple times. Then I worked again. It may be just a poor connection due moisture. It is a washing machine after all.
It should be in the video description but also make sure you double check before ordering! Also, I’d never recommend ordering from Sears Parts Direct. Absolutely horrendous customer service, price and shipping times.
Different Samsung washer, same idea, but I used a heat gun and since the piece didn't come off, I just opened the cover to get inside, and after a few minutes it worked for a cycle.. Stopped after that though.. Worked after heating it agian.. adn now nothing.. will have to play around. but with the ideas I've seen here (and in the comments) I think I can get it to do what I need.
Did you still attempt to remove the chip from the sleeve before blow drying? Or did you point the blow dryer at the panel and hold it for some time? And for how long did you place the blow dryer on?
That’s really helped thank you
Great video! I back mine for 20 min at 200F - that didn't work so i then used a blow dryer thoroughly drying the touch panel and boom it worked!
@@dasilnei glad you’re able to get some more life out of it
Wow very informative! the part about the hairdryer got me actin up... 385 at 7 minutes got me feelin some kind of way!🤤

@@jasonslaughter3458 sorry, I have no idea

Were you able to re-use the factory adhesive when reassembling?
@@jennakevinl4100 not effectively. You will need some double sided mounting tape. Good luck!
Good to know! Thank you very much and really appreciate the tutorial; very helpful

Do you have a part number

@@monkeywizard77 thanks for adding to the discussion. Definitely sounds like it’s about time for a replacement. Good luck!
Honestly the heat from the blow dryer got it to work
@@foxfox6713 happy to hear it!

@@jayp115 I did not. I put the entire strip in oven for a longer time but at a lower temp setting.
Mmmmmmmmh hair dryers
