Know Your Samsung Washer
What Makes Samsung Washer Repairs Different
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
- 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
- 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
