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
Common Samsung Washer Problems
- Washer won't start. Samsung says to confirm the washer is plugged into a grounded outlet on its own dedicated circuit without a surge protector, check the cord and look for a tripped breaker. Source: Samsung US Support - Samsung washer power issues
- 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
