  • I plan on editing this a little better and uploading another video. Here I am showing at request how to deal with the front drain of a Samsung front load washer. The plug can be a little tough to pry out. To prevent damage I recommend holding the black tube and slowly twisting out the plug.
    Hope this helps as it helped me as I haven’t done this since my first video.

    I've had this machine for 6 yrs and NEVER knew I had to do this. I finally was so frustrated with loads of laundry coming out "stinky" (I do run a cleaner through the machine and clean the seal regularly) - that I googled and voila,... who knew! Found your video b/c I had a hard time getting that door open - but your demo really helped! drained water all over my floor, but don't care, at least that filter is clean now!

    I just got a new Samsung front loader and could not for the life of me get the cap off the tube to drain it. It sure was not as easy as yours! I finally managed to get the thing off. It's nice to have a video at any rate, to actually see how things are done. Thanks.

    One thing to note sometimes there can be ALOT of water in there and it seems to take forever but don't take that filter out until that hose stops draining. Unless you want to flood your laundry room floor.

    Use a large cookie sheet. All the water won't drain out of you don't. Mine is on a pedalstal stand and it drains much better if the hose can go downward. I use an empty milk jug on mine. I understand you don't have a pedalstal, but a cookie sheet would work better for you.

      Just think a senior or a person that has arthritis has to do this every time to drain the filter. Whoever designed this piece of crap wasn’t thinking . I’m a senior & don’t have arthritis (yet) but I still have trouble unscrewing the white cap on the hose or taking the large cap of, I don’t have the pedestal so I have to lie down on the floor & use a tray to drain the water. When the tray is full , you lift the tray & spill most of the water & it goes under the washing machine. Never again would I buy Samsung. Lesson learned. 🤦‍♀️

      Caroline Rothenberg if the pump filter does not come off with a tiny bit of elbow grease. Do not try and force it. Unfortunately what I would suspect at this point is there is debris in the pump preventing it from turning. What would need to be done at this point is to remove the pump and try to remove any debris from the other side.

      I’m guessing RV situation? Typically yes antifreeze. After everything is drained and pumped out. Power on, place in warm cycle, and then place your antifreeze into the detergent tray wait till the drum is pretty full with antifreeze add as necessary. Make sure it does a drain cycle to get the antifreeze into the pump. Should protect your valves and gaskets. I would look into some other videos on how to go about that as seeing it is better than reading it. I haven’t done it in a long time.

      Does it make a sound like the pump is running? If it’s not working you may need a new pump or the clog could be under the tub where the main drain hose is. As I said in one of my other videos there was a tile stuck in that portion. If you check the port and no water comes out or trickles out chances are your clog is there. If not the clog is along the grey hose that runs along to the actual drain. Hard to say without seeing it or hearing what it’s doing.

    Hi - Lately, I seem to have to do this after every cycle or I get an error code OE. I changed the drain pump but can't figure out why this is filling up so fast. It's always the same amount of water too. About 1-2 cups. Any ideas as to why this may happen? Wondering if I should get rid of the drain hose flap...

    • @dissectingdiy
      @dissectingdiy  3 роки тому +3

      When you get an OE code this is due to water not draining properly or too much water entering the system. The drain procedure here might empty the washing machine. But that OE code could be pointing to a larger problem. You will need to check a few things. First I would check the drain hoses, including the big one on the bottom. I somehow was able to get one of those tile key finders lodged in there. Also check the pump which is located to the left of this filter housing. Make sure this line is clear. Once all drain houses are addressed to not have a clog. You’ll need to check other areas.
      If that is clear you may have bigger issues that are easily resolved. Such as the water inlet sensor. This could be due to a stuck solenoid on the sensor and it is allowing too much water into the system. Or the sensor is simply faulty electrically, or clogged.
      Other reasons for the code can be too much detergent but that usually figure a SUDS error but can also generate an OE code.
      Since you state this filter drain is producing 1-2 cups of water. That seems pretty normal. As the pump can’t get all the water out of the system and some will stay there.

      The filter is designed to Trap large debris that could damage the pump and sometimes make its way into the drain system. Coins, keys, lint, hair can all build up there and acts as a buffer to keep the pump protected and working. It is also helpful in draining the system for repair.

      If it is outside of your scope of expertise you need to tell your dad.
      Starting a new cycle will cause the pump to kick in and drain the existing tank to a degree. But if you say there is water pouring out. It sounds like the gaskets to the front has been damaged. Or a piece of glass got stuck between to door and gasket keeping it slightly open. You don’t want to cause further damage.
      If you are trying the method in the video. You are going to need a large bowl or bucket and drain it. It’s a slow process.
      With that much water coming out you don’t want to create a shock risk. We all make mistakes. Tell an adult as they are better equipped to handle the situation.

    • @dissectingdiy
      @dissectingdiy  27 днів тому

      To retrieve the drain hose that has slipped inside your Samsung front-load washer, you'll need to access the inside of the machine. Here's a step-by-step guide to help you:
      ### Tools Needed:
      - Screwdriver (Phillips or flathead, depending on your washer's screws)
      - Pliers
      - Towels or a small bucket (to catch any water that may spill)
      ### Steps:
      1. **Unplug the Washer**:
      - Safety first. Ensure the washer is unplugged from the power outlet.
      2. **Turn Off the Water Supply**:
      - Turn off the water supply to the washer to prevent any leaks.
      3. **Access the Bottom Panel**:
      - Most Samsung front-load washers have an access panel at the bottom front of the machine. This is usually where the filter and drain hose are located.
      - Use a screwdriver to remove the screws holding the bottom panel in place. Keep the screws in a safe place.
      4. **Locate the Drain Hose**:
      - Once the panel is removed, you should see the filter housing and the area where the drain hose connects.
      - Look for the point where the hose disappeared. It may have fallen inside, but you should be able to see or feel it.
      5. **Retrieve the Hose**:
      - If the hose is visible, use pliers to gently pull it back into place.
      - If the hose is not immediately visible, you might need to carefully feel around the inside of the washer's base to locate it.
      6. **Reattach the Hose**:
      - Once you have the hose, reattach it securely to its original position. Ensure it is firmly connected to prevent any future leaks.
      - Some washers have a clip or bracket that holds the hose in place. Make sure the hose is secured properly.
      7. **Replace the Bottom Panel**:
      - Once the hose is back in place, reattach the bottom panel with the screws you removed earlier.
      8. **Turn On Water and Power**:
      - Turn the water supply back on.
      - Plug the washer back into the power outlet.
      9. **Test the Washer**:
      - Run a short cycle to ensure there are no leaks and that the hose is properly secured.
      If you find the process difficult or are unable to retrieve the hose, it might be best to contact a professional appliance repair technician to avoid any potential damage to the washer.

      Possibly, a 5E error does indicate a drain issue. This would be one of the first places I would check. Ensure the filter area is clear and feel to the right and left of the tube in the filter housing.
      Do you have pets? A lot of hair can get trapped in the tub drain in the grey gasket where it meets the door. My wife’s hair has clogged it up on a few occasions.
      Then check to make sure the drain hose to the rear where it goes into the plumbing is clear.
      If this doesn’t work you may need to move the washer and drain it manually. Then flip on its side and check the black hose off the main tub for an obstruction. I had a tile finder sensor trapped in this area that created a 5E error in the past. These thing are really heavy so have someone help.

      If the filter isn’t clogged. Try doing a hot load of laundry. Run hot water at your sink faucet to get hot water flowing through the pipes first. You don’t have to do a full load but can have washer fill with hot water. The stop and start a new load. This will drain the washer letting hot water pass through the pump and filter housing. Pre drain again using the tube and be careful with the hot water.
      Then try again with firm pressure but as you said don’t overdo it as you can damage the filter housing. Inspect the gasket for damage or debris.
