Samsung sells top-load agitator, top-load impeller, front-load, and all-in-one combo washers in the U.S., and the repair path differs by type: front loaders add a door lock, door boot and pump filter, while top loaders rely on a lid switch and either an agitator or an impeller.
Samsung Washer Lines and Features
How Samsung Washers Are Built
Samsung top loaders are leveled by checking that the pulsator sits centered under a shallow fill of water, while front loaders are leveled by rocking the cabinet and adjusting the feet. Source: Samsung US Support - Washer installation and calibration
What Samsung Says to Check First
- Washer leaking. Samsung says to check the water supply hoses, their connections and o-rings first, then look for hair or debris in the door gasket and make sure the door closes fully. Source: Samsung US Support - Fix a leak in your Samsung washer
- Washer odor. Samsung says a sewage smell can mean the drain hose is pushed too far into the drain, while a mildew smell calls for an empty spin to clear standing water before cleaning the washer. Source: Samsung US Support - Samsung washing machine or laundry smells bad
What Samsung Washer Codes Mean
