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
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
What Samsung Says to Check First

- Door won't lock. For door codes, Samsung says to make sure the latch is secure, no laundry is caught and the door is fully closed. Source: Samsung US Support - Samsung washing machine information and error codes
