How Samsung Washers Are Built

What Samsung Says to Check First
- Washer not draining. Samsung says to turn the washer off, confirm it is level and the drain hose is installed correctly, then clean the pump filter on front load models. Source: Samsung US Support - Samsung washer won't drain
- 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
Samsung Washer Error Codes
