Thank you. That explains the US/CA label difference and my energy consumption!

@@mikeferryall1424 I have this model and this explains the labels, but it doesn’t explain the screenshots of your supposed energy use. One cycle you had said it was 22kwh for bedding. The compressor in this combo only pulls like 600 watts and total for the machine is 700 watts, assuming the electric resistance coil isn’t being used in the wash/self-care cycle. It would have had to run for over a solid day to use that much power on one cycle. I’m sure it’s a software glitch. Samsung isn’t exactly Apple when it comes to software, I can’t even access one page of their energy use section of their iOS app. Have to access it from the machine. In iOS it skips right past it, best I can do is take a screenshot in the half-second it’s on the screen. My cycles range from 0.8-1.5kwh, usually (and I’ve checked it with a watt-meter the unit is plugged into, the numbers are pretty accurate). If you haven’t already, go to settings and make sure the software is up-to-date. I had to update mine when I got it. If you don’t want it connected to wifi you can disconnect it later or delete the network.

@@causarumcognitio Before the first update, the usage monitor was WAY off. After that update, the numbers started to make more sense. To get the numbers it was displaying early on, I would have needed to pull 30+ amps for the entire time the unit was running. Since this is running off a 20 amp breaker, I knew it couldn't be accurate.

@@mikeferryall1424 Yeah, I was thinking the same thing about your numbers given it’s a 120 volt machine.

@@mikeferryall1424 I don't think I've had mine as long as you but in my impression, the Al Wash and Dry cycle seems to work like the normal cycle, but doesn't dry more than needed and also applies the energy saving function to vary the speed of the compressor. Clothing that has really dense material or is designed with balls of fabric (like a dress) needs to be set to "More Dry". But that Al cycle works for a wide variety of loads. Obviously it only uses algorithms at most on-site, but it's very versatile in how it detects the weight of items, adjusts drying based on humidity and I think it's remembering previous cycles it was used for and how they turned out. Keep in mind, if a machine can weigh a load before it gets washed, it's probably weighing them again when it thinks the load is dry. There are reasons that method can fail. This video, if you haven’t already seen it, has a lot of useful information for any owner or prospective owner. I personally don’t trust or like Samsung for appliances. I would have felt better with an LG, but this is without doubt the most powerful and largest combo dryer on the market. More importantly: the condenser cleaning system is the best. I’m going to get a water softener because, among other issues, the hard water could clog the condenser cleaner device. We only have 7 grain hardness but it’s killed things in the past. Not risking a $2,000 laundry machine. For the lint, I’ve seen videos about the GE unit that make me pity the owners even though they have that nice warranty, they have so much lint cleaning maintenance to do that isn’t even in the manual, basically running a giant bottle-cleaning brush to the back-left every cleaning. Meanwhile, we use our combo way more than a normal household and the coils are amazingly clean. ua-cam.com/video/vao_KqCzLUE/v-deo.htmlsi=ilV3NSz1PqPdn63M

I bought it from the Samsung Insiders program in the States. We were one of the first to get this unit and were asked for an honest review in exchange for a great price. We weren't able to see any videos or reviews prior to buying it. After I did my review, I saw that video where they pulled a machine apart and pulled out a large clump of lint between the heat exchangers. I also saw a video where after 40+ loads, there wasn't any lint in that same area. I think the lint video was a Samsung hit piece and the other was an honest review. Samsung has earned some hate and I think some people are still holding a grudge.

@@mikeferryall1424 fair enough. Appreciate the reply

We are guilty of leaving dry clothes in the unit or laundry basket for days after a load is done. We don't use fabric softener either. We don't notice any more or less wrinkles with this machine.

Yes, warm and dry. This machine fully dries the clothes unlike other heat pump dryers that leave the clothes feeling slightly damp.

We chose Samsung because we got a great deal through the Samsung Insiders program. If you need a new appliance and don't mind doing a review, it's worth checking out.

The blue silicone cup is called the Aqua Pebble. It's for manually adding detergent instead of using the reservoirs. Load the laundry as normal, put the detergent in the cup, then place the cup on the laundry. Then start the load, making sure it isn't going to use detergent from one of the reservoirs.

I have only read about a leak from one other owner. Except theirs was a split hose that ran water to the heat exchanger sprayers. That machine only leaked when doing the heat exchanger spray. Apparently the top isn't too difficult to remove as the commenter was able to replace the hose on their own. I hope yours makes it way back to Samsung so they can identify the root cause of the leak and improve the design.

I have done that when running a load mid-day. The AI is basically an eco mode that tries to use as little power as possible to do the job. We run most of our loads overnight so total time isn't much of a concern.

The unit ships with a small blue silicone cup, called the aqua pebble. Put the powdered detergent in that then place the cup on top of the laundry and start the cycle.

​@mikeferryall1424 so you didn't use the detergent dispenser at the bottom? I asked samsung support and they told me to fill the dispenser up with the powder one,,,, they didn't mention about the aqua pebble....

@@kitsumkwan we only use liquid detergent in the bottom reservoir.

I haven't received any errors from this machine yet.

@mikeferryall1424 gotcha! I think my cold water didn't have enough pressure but ima fix that today and see how that helps

@mikeferryall1424 I just got all the plumbing done letting it all cure now I hope it continues through both cycles without an error

@mikeferryall1424 yep thats all it was, it goes through both cycles with no problem

​@@brandonrogers3653what did you need to replace?

The blue thing is called the 'Aqua Pebble'. It's for manually adding detergent to the laundry. First, place the laundry in the machine. Next, add detergent (liquid or powder) to the blue silicone cup. Lastly, place the cup on top of the laundry and start the cycle.

We run our loads at night and haven't noticed. Sorry I can't be more helpful on that issue.

Yes. It’s normal. Seems to move the basket too much before accelerating but then stabilizes. Seems to be part of the design.

I can only schedule an end time. I would prefer to schedule a start time. With an end time scheduled, the machine estimates the best start time. I have a time of use electric rate plan. I want my loads to start when off-peak rates start. With the current scheduled end, sometimes it runs long and hits a higher electric rate time.

That's how I know it really isn't AI! It never hits it, even after easy loads.

I had a stand alone heat pump dryer before this all in one unit. I was also surprised at how dry and hot the clothes feel at the end of a cycle. Although I think that extra time drying contributes to the longer cycle times.

It was the water pressure regulator for my house. It was 24 years old and was no longer reducing the city water pressure. I was getting 100 PSI of water pressure which is too high and may cause plumbing issues. My regulator should have maxed out at 75 PSI. I swapped out the regulator and am now getting 50 PSI of water pressure. Here is a useful tidbit buried where no one will find it! A Watts N35B can be directly replaced by a Watts N45 regulator. Turn off the water, unscrew the large nuts on the old regulator and pull it out. The nuts stay on the pipes. Just slip the new one in (with new o-rings) and tighten the nuts. The N35B doesn't have rebuild kits available, which is a moot point because it needs to be completely removed to rebuild it. The N45 has a drop on rebuild kit and can be rebuilt while still attached to the pipes.

Thank you

The machine tries to figure out how dirty the clothes are and what type (bedding, cotton, etc). I think our mixed loads confuse it.

saw they are getting ready for the pedestal. but this is a machine i have no chance of getting on a pedestal myself or even with one person help. it weights like 400pounds!! how are you going to get the pedestal on there!

We just ordered our washer/dryer combo. I asked about a base and Best Buy said when it comes in and it is purchased, it can be delivered and installed. That would be the way to go, pay for the delivery and installation. I’m sure wherever you purchased your washer dryer combo they should do the same. That way if they mess up and damage something it’s on them.

@@jculpmm7 That sounds pretty awesome! I'll wait till BB stocks it, i got my machine from best buy. Poor guys had to lug it up two flights of stairs with tight turns! Honestly don't know how they did it so well hah. but yeah theres no way i can tilt this machine on the side and install this alone!

Nope, as soon as the cycle starts, it locks. Even with a delayed start.

There is an "add wash" option for some of their machines, which has a little door - in the door, so you can add items mid wash.

Yes, there is a wash only option along with a dry only option.

Do you have any updates on your issue? It sounds like a broken hose or fitting in the heat exchanger sprayer circuit.

@mikeferryall1424 I went ahead and popped the top open and the hose that routes to the coil cleaner was split open. Poor build quality, as that hose in particular had this line down the whole hose, adjacent to where the split happened. I replaced the 10 ½ inch hose with a thicker one of the same size (3/8 inch Inner Diameter). I cut it down to 11ish inches, snug them in place, and tested multiple times. I can't get it out by hand easily after putting it in, but put the clamps on anyway. Very snug and secure. I did the self-clean and dry to test maximum hot water and pressure. No isses, and the self dry evaporated all the spilled water puddles in the machine from the past leaks/floods.

Where did you get yours for $1600?

​@sebastianbenner977 I just got mine for around 1700 from CostCo. They have them at $1,999, and then with a $200 discount fornappliances over $1,500 it will be $1,800. Then if you add any applicable appliance item to your cart to get it over $2,000 before tax then you will get another $200 discount. So I added a mini fridge for about $150, which gave that $200 discount for a $400 total discount. So the mini fridge was essentially free and I got $50 toward the washer/dryer to make it $1750. Plus CostCo had an extra store warranty. You may be able to add a care plan or something like that to raise your total for that coupon but I didn't try

The detergent and fabric softener are on the bottom. 3:05

@@Boricuaamada why I just forward to 3:05 got to mines and press it nothing look around and the tech guys left clear tape on it, no wonder nothing was working I thought at best child safety lock or digital button

The air does a loop through the drum, evaporator and condenser. Initially, it will cool the room it's in. Once it's been running a while, it will give off some heat. It doesn't blow hot air into the room, just radiates some.

Yes, the reservoirs are liquid only

We had to download one from Samsung and print it. Like your machine, the manual ours shipped with wasn't for this specific model. The only maintenance I haven't done yet (and will probably never do) is to clean the water inlet screen. That requires moving the machine and removing the water lines.

Same. General instruction booklet not specific to my model. Frustrating I will try to download as well

Though its the easiest i think based off my ownership for 2 weeks that it is the worst at catching lint. So much gets past to the condenser requiring deeper cleanings every two weeks

I think the term AI was added by the marketing people at Samsung. Something to make it sound trendy and cutting edge but without anything to back up the name. The machine appears to just tumble a load of dirty clothes to get an idea on how much it weighs then adds water/detergent accordingly.

​@@mikeferryall1424 I thought it was supposed to be able to tell what material the clothes are made out of. Not sure how it could tell that though.

@@JPSurratt1986 I think it just estimates the weight of the load and goes from there. If it was smart enough to know what types of materials are in it, I doubt it would need all those cycle options.

No, that's all you get with the drain hose. I will just be doing the drain filter right before a load of laundry from now on. I will use the dirty clothes to soak up the water 😄

@@mikeferryall1424 great idea. Never thought about using the dirty clothes before every load. 👍

hi how often you need to drain it

@@srus4663 I drain it and clean the drain filter every time I refill the detergent reservoir. That's usually every 15-20 loads or once every six weeks. I have also given up on using the drain hose. I just put dirty laundry on the floor and unscrew the drain filter. The emergency drain tube is too short to be useful and I ended up getting water everywhere anyway.

Most of the pre-programmed cycles do not allow you to change the spin speed. Most are high or extra high. The 'Wool' and 'Less Microfiber' settings do have a low speed spin as default. Less Microfiber does have an extra low spin speed along with options to not spin.

My drain is behind the deep freezer. The tube ended up being the perfect length since I am stretching across the laundry room.

I do not know the peak amperage draw. The manual states it needs at least a 15 amp circuit. Unfortunately I don't have a power meter to measure the max draw. The machine does use ~1.2kwh for a four hour cycle. That averages to 2.5 amps at 120v.

Thank you appreciate it.
