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
What Samsung Says to Check First
- Washer leaking. Samsung says to check the water supply hoses, their connections and o-rings first, then look for hair or debris in the door gasket and make sure the door closes fully. Source: Samsung US Support - Fix a leak in your Samsung washer
- 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
