E61 is a stuck or failed heated relay on the main board. Since you already put a board in it I would check the heater ohm. I believe you have a grounded heater to unit case. I have seen this happen before two different times. 95% chance the heater grounded is your issue. Let us know the outcome. Here is a video link for the E61 error https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p0BFUtJzV9s

I agree on your diagnoses but still run it through diagnostics. Be sure that the drain pump is not drawing excessive amps, or the control could be compromised.
ACTIVATION OF AUTOMATIC DIAGNOSTIC
TEST MODE
1. Be sure the washer is in standby mode (plugged in with all indicators
off; or with only the Clothes Clean or Done indicator on).
2. Select any one button (except POWER, START, and STOP) and follow
the steps below, using the same button (remember the button):
Press/hold
3 seconds ➔ Release for
3 seconds ➔ Press/hold
3 seconds ➔ Release for
3 seconds ➔ Press/hold
3 seconds
➔If this test mode has been entered successfully, all indicators on the
console are illuminated for 5 seconds with 88 showing in the
Estimated Time Remaining two-digit display.
➔If indicators do not display as described above, the
press/hold/release procedure above may not have been performed
within the time frame necessary for successful entry. Repeat step 2
to ensure this was not the cause. If still unsuccessful, see
Diagnostic: Unsuccessful Entry, page 3.
3. The program then checks for saved fault codes:
➔If there are saved fault codes, see Diagnostic: Saved Fault Codes,
page 3.
➔If there are no saved fault codes, all indicators on the console will
momentarily turn off, then turn back on with 88 displayed. After
5 seconds, the Automatic test, below, begins.
DIAGNOSTIC: Automatic
Performs a five-minute automatic test with water functions to check major
washer functions (door can be open). Press the same button used in step
2 above to advance through automatic test steps.
NOTE: Basket must be floating in order to agitate. Step C1 must be
allowed to complete before advancing to step C5.

Hi. I am not able to find your exact model that you are working on. From the parts break down on the dispenser it looks like you remove it by releasing tabs that hold it in place around the edges. It does not show any screws to remove. I found a video that will show how to do this on a similar LG refrigerator. I hope this helps!

Here is the diagnostic tests you can do to troubleshoot this issue.
ERC Quick Test
The process requires two people. To access the program, one person should stand at the oven, while
the other is located at the circuit breaker. The person at the circuit breaker turns off the breaker and
then the person at the oven depresses and holds the cooktime keypad. The person at the circuit
breaker then turns the breaker back on. The display will show the 4-character identification code of the
ERC. Example (1180)
You have 30 seconds between each test mode.
Note: if unit shows time of day start procedure over again.
Test 1
Push and hold convection bake
Bake element and convection fan activate.
Test 2
Push and hold Standard Bake
Bake element activate.
Test 3
Push and hold Pure Convection
Convection fan and convection element activate.
Test 4
Push and hold broil
Broil element activate. (on gas units – ignitor will activate.)
Test 5
Push and hold convection broil (select models)
Broil element and convection fan activate.
Test 6
Momentary push timer 2
Audible tone will sound.
Test 7
Push and hold stop time
Cooling fan activate.
Test 8
Momentary push clock
All LEDs will light up. Push + or – key pad. LEDs wil display numbers
Example: 1111, 2222, 3333, 4444 etc.
Test 9
Last test door open, push and hold cook time for 10 seconds
Self clean latch motor activate. Door latch will complete one cycle.
The test will end and ERC will display the time of day.
NOTE:
Complete all tests within 30 seconds – otherwise you will see a failure code (F-0: Stuck key pad) displayed
on the ERC.

When programming the oven into a cooking cycle, you first select the desired mode on the
touch membrane. Pressing this key sends a message to the ERC/Clock control, which in
turn triggers 24 Volts DC to be sent to the main relay board through the connective harness.
The desired relay (for example, Pure Convection) closes and distributes power to the
desired components. In order to correctly diagnose this sequence you need a volt meter
set on DC voltage. Drop the Bezel/Control panel down thus exposing the ERC/Clock and
related wiring. Dropping the control panel down will expose the back side of the ERC/Clock
control and main wiring harness. The connective harness will have 16 pins. Using a voltmeter
take the test leads and insert into the backside of the main wiring harness
To take a voltage reading using the ERC connection chart below:
1. Set the voltage meter to DC voltage
2. Insert the test lead into the backside of the main harness
(plugged into the backside of the ERC control.)
For example: if bake isn’t working:
a) Insert the test leads into connections (2-5)
b) Program the unit into the bake cycle
The meter should read 22-24 Volts DC

If the sensor fails in S/C, then it is losing it’s resistance at the higher 950ºF temps. No doubt from all the self-cleaning the customer has done previously. This leads to a failure such as the hi-limit on back of the oven, to control issues such as the sensor. Try a new sensor and advise them against electronic cleaning. Oven sensors have a history of going bad at higher temperatures. One could always put the unit is self clean, monitor the rise in temperature and check the thermistor as the temperature gets close to clean temp. This does take time I know, but it is better than a call-back.

You have to get the whole assembly . But I attended a Samsung training and we were told its not approved as repair but it is commonly changed as just the heater. I have done this job several times. It takes a little time to take out the old heater and replace with the new one from the evaporator assembly but it’s not to bad. It comes with a new fuse and thermistor as well so I always change these parts to. There is one pop rivet to drill out.

This is a pretty straight forward dryer, first thing I would do is get out the meter and see if you have 120V across the terminals to the timer motor while unit is running. Does dryer have timed or auto dry settings? Will timer advance on timed dry? Even with the absence of a wiring diagram, you should be able to trace wiring back to the problem. Some timer motors will run off a dryness sensor board, others from a cycling thermostat. Some of these older dryers could have a start switch with stuck contacts and cause the timer to run right through the off position, just a heads up.

My experience has been that the MCU controls the lock, drain and motor functions. I would be inclined to replace it before the UI. I also had another unit that I replaced CCU because the diagnostics pointed to the CCU board having a bad pump driver. Replaced the board and customer was able to complete one load and then unit stopped draining again. What I found was the drain pump was drawing to much amperage and causing the CCU failure. The pump I had ohm ed out fine too, do not remember if I found a amp or wattage reading possibly on the side of pump? Replaced drain pump and problem went away. I installed original board at customers request, but turns out the original board was too badly damaged to run drain pump. The door on your machine will remain locked until machine senses the water is fully drained.
Examine the drain pump motor housing, I am willing to bet you will find what I did, motor housing full of water. Let me know if this helps.

HI. A Very common water leak complaint on this model is from the drain tube backing up. Water and ice will form on the freezer floor and eventually you will get water leaking out of the freezer on to the customers floor. There is a new and improved drain tube kit that the manufacture has came out with to fix this issue. Attached is a video for this repair as well as a link to the part. Take note that in this video we re install the original drain grommet. You will need to replace the drain grommet with the new drain tube kit. This video shows you have to gain access to the evaporator to clear the ice build up as well. This is important because just installing the drain tube will not fix the issue. The ice has to be cleared and water must drain down to the drain pan. The other possibility of a water leak in this unit would be from the ice maker or water dispenser. Let me know if you need any further help.

Kevin,
I can’t locate the wiring schematic online. If you could post an image of that it could help.
When the fan stops running are you losing power to it? Or is the proper voltage there constantly?

I look forward to hearing back from you!
