- Samsung Front Loader Washer and Dryer Review WF520ABP - DV520AEP
- Short video showing the Samsung PowerFoam washer with VRT plus Steam going through all of its cycles as well as a short video of the dryer and a final quick review at the end.
Overall we really like this pair Samsung came out with...couldn't find many reviews when we were looking to get a new washer and dryer so thought I would post this to hopefully help people with their buying decision.
Need a gift idea....check out this website:

I have this exact set and both washer and dryer are great machines, love all the available features. But like any other front loading washing machine make sure you keep them clean. The little door at the bottom of the washing machine is were you need to drain the excess water that gathers from washing (very stinky) and pull out the filter and wash it often! Also make sure to wipe the rubber seal in the door and pull it back and wipe down very regularly
+Julie Belanger can you leave the front door open to let it breath ?
Thank you for sharing this video especially the sound (or lack thereof) of the washer. It was so quiet- the noise of my LG Tromm washer that is almost 10 yrs old was drowning out your video as I'm doing a load of laundry right now. I purchased this Samsung washer today at Lowe's for a great deal- to be delivered on June 1- and it sounds like from comparing your video to my current LG- I made the right choice. I'm tired of my washing machine shaking my entire house and ready to put this new washer to work! Thanks again!

I've had my washer for a month now and no complaints whatsoever! The only noise I hear on occasion is the washer knocking a couple of knocks prior to the spin cycle to ensure the clothes are evenly distributed before taking off at lightning speed....:)
I have the Samsung washer and it's still quieter than my LG was- but my LG was quiet when we first got them 10 yrs ago.
i own this set and it was the best money i ever spent

And I really love the washer, but I came from an old school top loader so I don't have a lot to compare too. The dryer has a few nice features with the steam function, the shoe rack, and the eco modes. But, I would defintely agree with you on the large sheets/blankets issue. They do get balled up and when that happens they stay damp in the middle unless you open the door an re-arrange them. My last dryer did the same thing so doesn't bother me too much.
I have the same washer but it's a Kenmore (Sears).. This particular Kenmore is made by Samsung and looks to be exactly the same as this model.. same jingle and everything when you turn it on.. I am very happy with the Kenmore Band made by Samsung :)
I just purchased this set only in blue from Lowes yesterday. They have this President Sale going on, I got the set for 1000. I've never had front loaders so I'm very excited. I also have been without a dryer for two years so I can't wait to have soft clothes again.
Yea, I think it works very well. The soap seems to flow through everything a little better and is supposed to be more gentle on your clothes. I went to this model coming from an old top load model washer and dryer so these Samsungs are crazy awesome in comparison. :-)
My VRT steam lasted ~7 years. When we went to buy a new washer we met another couple who had the same 7 y.o. VRT and their's had just died. The problem is the spider gear. (the thing that holds the drum to the shaft) It seems to be designed to fail. It is made from an alloy that corrodes. (designed obsolescence)
Thank you so much for this video. I just moved to my new house which has this washer and I couldn't figure it out.
Samsung rules.....amazing machines....congratulations :-)
No stink from this bad boy. Just run the santize feature once every month or two and it kills any mold/germs that reside. I also leave the washer door cracked when not in use, so it can breathe/dry completely.
Thank you for this great review because Samsung is the brand we are going to purchase to replace a pair of JUNK Whirlpool Duet Washer & Dryer that we purchased new 7 years and they have been nothing but a nightmare as far as needed constant repair which has nearly reached the price we paid for both of them, and to top it off a lot of my wife's delicate articles have been ruined because they get caught between the front gasket and the spinning drum which results in clothes being torn.
This Samsung washing machine is great I'm going to buy one right now or maybe looking to see if I can find one that better out with the old in with the new
My washer is on the other side of the wall from the hot water heater so water doesn't have to travel far to reach the machine. Like I said, it cleans great (even though it barely uses water and the power foam is more an ad gimmick than an actual cleaning tool - IMO. HE detergent is made to create fewer suds so it won't make the suds that the ads show, right?). Ultimately, it's the dryer I want to throw out into the street. Only the high price I paid for the dryer keeps me from doing that.
Yea, your right about the suds. I get some suds, but not like in the ad lol.
5 for me, but I guess it's all on what you are looking for. I came from a really really old top loader and these Samsung's crush my old washer/dryer combo in every way.......and knock on would have had them for about a year and half now and have not had a single problem yet. As for the energy, I believe I've saved money month to month. Hard to say the amount exactly as there are lots of variables with my utility bills, but I'd say they are certainly more effecient than my old units.
hahaha yea some may get lucky. We tried everything. We got an exchange for a top loader and life has been so much better since. The stink is gone and my headaches are gone, too! I was allergic to all that horrible mold.
Omg that dryer is so quiet! I love my rex electrolux but it sounds like a huge hairdryer lol
Our Samsung units have broken 3 times in 2 years. Getting ready to replace the bearings on the dryer for the second time!
lol

No doubt, we will also buy Kenmore or LG next purchase. To be fair, since the last bearing replacement, I haven't had any issues. Luckily, I bought the extended warranty.
My Samsung dyer drum failed after nearly exactly 2.5 years. The drum cracked in 2 different spots and after a half hour on the phone, they would not replace it. I was very polite and stated that Samsung needed to stand behind its product, citing that the company is "highest rated in customer satisfaction with clothes dryers," according to J.D. Power and Associates. I stated that numerous people have had this problem and the drum cracking is a manufacturer's defect. I repeated myself to an executive customer service rep and after numerous attempts, all he could do is sell me an extended warranty that would cover the repairs for $285. I told him that If they do not stand behind the product, I would no longer purchase ANY Samsung products. The $285 will be better spent on a quality dryer from a more honest and fair company.
Hmm....I don't have the issue with the warm water. Seems to be fairly warm on mine, but I think it's because my washer is close to my water heater so it doesn't take long to get the hot water flowing over to it. I heard when they are farther from the water heater, all the initial water entering the unit is cold because it takes longer for the water to travel from the water heater and arrive to the washer hot/warm.
Can't believe how quiet that washer is spinning.. Samsung really is the way forward.. Better than the LG.. My next washing machine is definitely going to be a Samsung.... Even if it does cost me 700 - 800 pounds... I don't care, that washer is a beast.....
I'm sure there are better washer/dryer combo's out there, but for the price and features I would buy the Samsung's again.

Ours i just bought seems to have issues clunking for a while on spin cycle at first for some reason. It takes it a few times to figure it out then it is ok. Plus there never seems to be enough water but i just saw how to adjust the water levels to go higher today.
does samsung make good dryers?
+randomrazr I have a Samsung washer and dryer. The dryer has been fine, but I needed to replace the rollers and belt in it after 5 years. The rollers are mounted to a bendy sheet metal plate in the back and can get pushed out of alignment and rub/squeak if you overload it. Otherwise it's very basic inside like any other dryer.
The amount of detergent is unreal! I could use that for 3 loads! You even fill it pass the max line.

You are using way too much soap you only need one table spoon per load in a front load washer and powder works best.
Cool I'm planning on purchasing these
This was a very good instructional video
Very Helpful, Thanks!
I hope this doesn't happen to mine. I've only had mine for about a year and half so far though and no problems yet. I have my fingers crossed. Thanks for the heads up!
Would you do a follow up video about the modes since you've had the machines for so long? Thank you!
Watch Samsung washer repair. What actually breaks is a rear support arm on the inner drum causing the bearing to fail & destroying the outer platic tubs & door seal. The inner tub in warrantied for 3 years but Samsung is not standing by it for the guy in the video or myself. "We are declining service at this time."-Samsung lead customer service rep Andy.
Not in my case. Mine actually gets piping hot, if I set it to Hot or the Cleaning cycle . I think others who have that problem, probably need to have either the heating element looked at or the washer is far away from the water heater maybe.
very nice looking !
I have this set. The washer works great and cleans everything. However, a few issues with the washer - you cannot get warm water during the normal cycle - the water on the standard setting (warm for normal) comes out cool. And frankly, I don't feel it uses enough water and the power foam is on most cycles. The dryer is a piece of shit. The baffles in the drum are small and constantly ball up sheets so it takes hours to dry since you have to constantly open the door and untangle the sheets.
A little bleach in the "pure cycle" and I haven't had a problem since I got mine last year.
The beaping souds like flappy. Bird
Where did you buy this from?
Thank you . I´m just thinking of buying one .
Can you tell me if it´s taking long to wash like some of them , or can you do a short wash?
How long apr is that ?
OH , are you still happy with it ?
D
You're using way too much soap...even HE soap only requires a couple tablespoons for a large load.
La Tui That's good
my dryer which is front load Samsung is stuck on cooling so therefore theres no hot air to dry my clothes what do I do
Samsungs: Be careful with over loading!!! The inside tub is attached to the shaft with a cement type substance and the shaft with strip out. it will strip out easily if overloaded and the part itself sells for approx. 299.00 not counting your service charge so you are looking at the cost of a new machine approx.700 to repair. Beware!!
JUST samsungs?
service plan....$100...covers the unit for 5 years...all parts ...labor and all issues
***** u have z samsung?
Thank you :)
Very Cool!
donde puedo conseguir estas lavadoras vivo en la zona 7 colonia landivar guatemala
Nice video! This is helpful since im moving soon!
that's why I purchased an extended warranty from lowes for an additional yrs.
Yikes, just watched it. Doesn't look to fun. It looks like I have a slightly different model washer than in that video, so I can only hope Samsung fixed that bug in this newer model I have. :-)
They are beautiful machines, I have the red ones...Mark my words: If you get five or six years out of that washer, consider yourself lucky...
Nice I am looking at new one my dryer is fine just want the washer I have my eyes on this but it is a bit out of my price range :(.
Samsung is good.
What do you rate these on a 1-5 scale 5good//// what don't you like everyone has dislikes
Do these really save you $ on energy bill or is it a HYPE?
whats the spin speed?
never ever ever use that much detergent...... ever
I'm going through hell with my machine and I posted a video on my channel.
Very Good
HOW MUCH IN INDIAN MONEY
I got my stackables 2010. Niether machine worked well. There are only two people in my household, so it's not too over use. They use much less water & that's why I bought them. But, sounds like it through a belt. They rarely get garments clean or dry. I'm a disabled person from an on the job accident. I can't, nor should I be expected to check on the worthless machines constantly. To top that now the washer and dryer never get things clean or dry. It's that their job?! Now the washer sounds like it though a belt. We hate this set. We bought the set to conserve water, energy. Sears sold us a line of crappie products. At same time I bought a refrigerator that makes constant noise (loud noise). They informed me I would have to pay $75 to have them take them back. Sounds like they want me to Call the better business bureau,ect. But, I think social media might get the word out, that SEARS WILL SELL YOU ANYTHING THEY CAN TO MAKE A QUICK BUCK!

Lol. English Bulldog. :-)
price?
I am going to use my Samsung until it completely fails. My dryer drum cracked and I had it replaced, now I am noticing on my washer right under the door the paint curling up like rust is forming. I will no longer buy Korean after this.
I just installed this washer and it won't fully drain. I've used it twice and there seems to be over a gallon of water left in the drum after the final spin cycle, which leaves the clothes still soaking.
. It's brand new but I checked the filter and made sure the drain hose was installed properly. I have been on the phone with Samsung trying to trouble shoot, no luck. I am now supposed to wait for several days until a washing machine expert calls me back to continue troubleshooting. I just want my new expensive high end washer to work! Any of you out there experience a similar problem?
My wife has to drain the hose for every wash! Did you ever get a fix?
What's really confusing about all of this is just as many people love these HE washing machines, as want to take a sledge hammer to them
my kenmors spin speed is 99999 trillion trillon in the power of trillion trillion trillion giga light years per 99999 trillion trillion in the power of trillion trillion in the power of trillion trillionth of a second
It's like a casino slot machine....
must be why my wife loves doing laundry now!
Veeery quiet!

I am so disappointed with there product. They don't stand by there product. Samsung you should be ashamed with the poor quality you sell.
Garbage. Don't buy. My bearing failed after a couple years destroying the inner and outer tubs plus the door seal. The tech suggested I call Samsung as I paid $1100 dollars for it. Samsung didn't want to know anything and just kept repeating that my warranty expired. I got 12 plus years out of my first two machines, a Matag & a LG.
