What Makes Samsung Washer Repairs Different

Common Samsung Washer Problems
- Washer not spinning. Samsung says to clean the pump filter on front loaders, check that the drain hose sits at the right depth and height without kinks, and then run Calibration mode with an empty drum. Source: Samsung US Support - Samsung washer won't spin
- Off balance, shaking. For UE/Ub unbalance codes, Samsung says to spread the laundry out, close the door and restart, and to follow the won't-spin steps if it keeps happening. Source: Samsung US Support - Samsung washing machine information and error codes
