Know Your Samsung Washer
What a Samsung Washer Technician Deals With
Samsung washers require HE detergent, and the company warns that regular, organic or natural detergents can damage the machine. Source: Samsung US Support - Detergent usage
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 not filling. For the 4C/4E/nF codes, Samsung says to confirm the hot and cold hoses go to the right inlets, are not bent, and that the supply valves are fully open. Source: Samsung US Support - Samsung washing machine information and error codes
- Off balance, shaking. For UE/Ub unbalance codes, Samsung says to spread the laundry out, close the door and restart, and to follow the won't-spin steps if it keeps happening. Source: Samsung US Support - Samsung washing machine information and error codes
