Know Your Samsung Washer
How Samsung Washers Are Built
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

Common Samsung Washer Problems
- 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
- 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
