Hi team!
I have a WF405 Washing machine.
It works great, but the installed logical program is quite dumb.
As a person who likes writing programs and try to have things working as they should, I would like to know if someone here knows how to "rewrite" the programs on the Samsung machines.
Like, plugging it to the PC and rewrite the software.
Does anyone has any lead on how to do that or where to find more information?
----
Here is why:
When selecting the Normal cycle, default spinning speed is set to high.
If you change the spinning speed to any other option, including "No spin", this set will only be used on the last spin, before the end of the cycle.
The other spins, found between washing, rinsing and optional pre-wash and extra rinse, are all kept with default speed.
This is a problem as some special laundries can't handle spinning or high spin.
There are also other minor things, like delicate wash is "not that delicate".

Thanks guys!

EEPROM

The washer probably uses an EEPROM for saveing all programm data. Such EEPROMs (I xan't figure out what this means, but I'm sure its the right term) have one thing about them: They are Read-Only systems.
Generally, rewriting a washer programm is literally impossible on pretty much any machine or brand except Miele, and even there, only customer service can do so.
You as an owner have no option to do so, no matter how good you are at programming.
Sorry to tell you.

You will need an EPROM reader, the correct EPROM for your machine, a Knowledge of Whatever language it's programmed in and a way to decompile the factory EPROM.

Reprogramming a washer should be easier than reprogramming a GM fuel injection system......
