What a Samsung Washer Technician Deals With
Samsung washers have a Calibration mode that resets weight detection and water-per-cycle settings, recommended after installation or adjustments and as a spin test with an empty drum. Source: Samsung US Support - Washer installation and calibration
On front loaders the pump (debris) filter sits near the bottom front behind an access panel, and a clogged filter keeps the washer from draining and therefore from spinning. Source: Samsung US Support - How to clean your Samsung washer

Iowa does not issue a general appliance repair technician license; the Plumbing and Mechanical Systems Board licenses plumbing, HVAC, refrigeration and hydronic work, and state law carves out a special restricted license only for utility employees who repair appliances.
