To all that has contributed to this post many thanks for this info as you helped save another Samsung front loader that only had a faulty relay for the pump!! It’s what I do for fun when stuck at home during these rona times(sarcasm).
and for others seeking life to put back into your washer, do this relay replacement if you know the pump is good(or replace pump for good measure, we have gone through 4 pumps in 10 years and pumps are only $20ish and only takes about 30 minutes if you cheat and lift the front up on some scrap 2x lumber stacked and drop pump out the bottom), and you can talk the wife out of wanting a new machine. We have the old wf448xx model that had the board that is discontinued and mounted on the back of the machine. I had to pay $8 for one relay from 3rd party off amazon as mouser and other US based places are out of stock/back ordered, or discontinued and I did not want to wait nor order one cheaper off eBay from China during the outbreak.
Removal of silicone was the hardest part, but I recommend these tools (if you don’t already have them)and just dig into the silicone, you won’t gouge the board with these. For the silicone removal Without destroying the board, I had some of these that are similar(mine are lil different and yellow)amazon has these too(for these corona times delivery to your door):

And for the soldiering:
I already have several weller irons but learned from my last project(Chevy Tahoe gauge cluster rebuild) that I needed smaller tips:

Also if you don’t have a desoldering iron sucker combo I have one from radio shack before they closed, but looks just like this and is awesome:
