Re: Not Surprised

EcoBubble by any chance? The fault lies in the holes drilled in the motherboard for the component legs. They're too big, repeated vibration eventually causes dodgy contacts because of this. It's an easy fix from eBay for a recon board at about £40 from memory and only takes about 30 mins to do - but you shouldn't have to.

Samsung won't admit it is a design issue though. So we'll never have a other Samsung appliance ever again.
