I was just listening to another video on washers to avoid. Samsung was at the top of the list. I was glad to see someone who is favorable. We bought it in December and still haven’t used it! I realized no one had explained to me that the hard water we have here in Nicaragua will ruin the machine. I’m investigating water purification systems, which down here isn’t as easy to do as it would be in the USA.
I live in Saudi arabia and we've had our samsung washer since 2009 and it still works perfectly! No issues at all. The next time i would get a washer i would still choose samsung. But i dont think i will need to get soon cause our washer still works like it did when we first got it 😅
I don’t even know what Samsung washer I have but it looks similar to that and we got it in 2012. I swear it looks like it did when we got it and it was also an open box from sears. We use it like 10 times a week. Never cleaned other than self clean mode. we’ve had 6 dryers and one Samsung washer in 10 years lol
Just had to replace an older Maytag dryer with a Samsung and just got it delivered yesterday and our 5 month old Maytag washer broke an hour after getting the dryer installed 😩. Just found a good deal on this washer and is set for delivery Wednesday so hoping it will last our family. Good review. So excited.
I have this machine! I've always been a fan of top-load machines! Me myself miss the agitator to the machine. It doesn't clean well. You don't get enough water to me in this machine. You are right about the cleanliness of this machine. I've yet to clean it on its cycle LOL! Kinda disappointed because these machines were not cheap!
Have had NOTHING BUT problems. Just one little garment out of place and it goes into unbalanced error mode. Can't do anything heavy in it (blue jeans, sweats, towels) it repeatedly goes into unbalanced and refills with water time and time again to attempt to fix. First load took an entire DAY to finish. Even then we took it out to line to dry because it never would completely spin out the water due to unbalanced error. And YES I've checked level front to back, side to side, diagonal to diagonal. All is perfectly level. Only put 5-6 pairs of jeans in or 5-6 towels and it will never spin them dry enough to put in dryer. Always have to line dry them due to so much water.
Yay I’ve was a sub contractor for Samsung. Never heard such good reviews about it, usually at this stage the suspension rods a all gone like any other brands it’s a top loader thing. Computer boards will go. But if you look after it, yes it will last, don’t go crazy with loads, have surge protector installed and check pockets and don’t put anything that can full off.
Suspension Rods sucks, 1 yr after purchase 😮 I hear bumping noise and shaking sounds. Than it cuts off and an UB lights up. Unbalance. Ok so call a plumber guess what, how much it cost to fix suspension issue, you might as well buy a new washer 😕
Thanks for the review!!! We wanted the LG Turbowash top loader but it's oit of stock and we need one TODAY. Everything I've read says the Samsung is TERRIBLE. I haven't seen critical video reviews on them, only negative comments. So, im hoping and praying we're making a good decision here... 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
I have a Maytag front loader for 16 years and on the final load when done all I do is to take out the laundry compartment wipe down quickly and front rubber seal and leave the front door open . I never had a bad smell and any mold problem .
Happy to find this review. Went out to look for a washer last night and this one wasn't even on my radar. Did a little research beforehand and wasn't ready to make a decision at the time, but this was on special at Lowe's for $750 and ended up getting it down to $550. At that point I couldn't pass up the deal. This is the first review I have come across on this exact model and I am so glad your experience has been positive. Was super easy to load in and out of a truck and for two middle-age beer bellied lazy dudes to carry down the stairs and set up. I think the whole process from unload to start-up was less than twenty-minutes. This replaces a 12-year-old Kenmore top loader and I am with you, I prefer top-load impeller as opposed to front load. They hold a lot, clean very well, and are so much easier to access. They're also a lot less maintenance and don't smell like an old musty towel. If you're on the fence with the top/front load issue, top load are still very good even though everyone seems to be pushing the newer front loaders. I'll check out your videos, thanks for putting this up!
@@txmom2boys I am not the original poster, but I just bought this washer yesterday. Lowes had it on sale from $750 down to 699. If you apply for their credit card, you get $100 off instantly, so I was able to get it for $599 delivered. Once I get the card statement, I will pay it off and probably shred the card and never use it again. Don't cancel it, that will ding your credit report. But having an open card with no balance will help and never hurt your credit rating. In fact, I have 5 cards and only use 1, pay it off weekly so I don't forget. So I never show a balance and my credit score is 805. I will sign up for almost any card when they are giving me significant instant cash off a large purchase.
What a coincedence, I actually saw this combo in Lowes yesterday for 749.00 each. I put the purchase in abeyance to review, and found your presentation. Like you I am changing from a front load combo with pedestal. Entering the market, I was shocked to find the pedestals alone were $350 each. I could buy this washer for the price of the pedestals. Thanks to you I am sold. I wish I could talk Samsung into giving you a commission :). Great review.
@@VeganAtmosphere I believe Samantha is saying that the pedestals for front load washers are $350. Basically the pedestals just elevate the washer and some hold the automatic detergent dispenser.
The water jet feature is what sold me on this one because I don't have a sink. But was looking up videos to see if enough people had problems with it to warrant the 5 year warranty.
I just ordered this same washer today after my Whirlpool washer had a cracked tub. It was only about 4 years old. My son and daughters own Samsung washers and say they work great. I’m so looking forward to using it. I just hope it fits . I couldn’t find the measurements for the washer on the Lowe’s web site. The Whirlpool was 27 inches wide, so I hope this machine will fits in the closet like space next to the dryer.
I watched reviews after already purchasing this 😆👌 only just did the other day so I don't have it yet but it sounds great! Anything was better than my old one that's about to kill over though. Dang thing shakes the whole house most times during the spin cycle 😬 and now it's leaking too. 😓 anyways, I'm excited to get mine! I got it from home depot in the champagne color 🍾
@@aramrz6120 I got top load with the agitator. It's been great! It's pretty deep so I do have to use a stool to get everything from the bottom 😅 so I sometimes think I should have gotten front load but it's not a big deal and I've heard people had more issues with the front load 🤷♀️
on the settings that u cant use the deep feel how do u get your water level higher example on normal it doest even go half ways...thank you for your time
Let's face it... Samsung stuff is historically very good. There's no reason to think that these machines are any different. The Koreans pay attention to details and do their engineering homework...
I received this nearly similar model yesterday replacing a 15 yr old Samsung Front Loader and my only major complaint so far of top loader is that I cannot reach for sock and undies and have to buy a extra grabber tool or use a Kitchen Steak Tong to grab items at the bottom. I don't recall having this problem when I owned a top loader 20 some years ago.
I agree! I have this washer. I feel like my clothes are cleaner with an agitator. Also because you can put more clothes in then a normal washer you have to put more detergent in. That little tray does not hold enough for a extra large load!
Definitely get the agitator. I did my research before purchasing and I kept reading the same thing that agitators clean better. Even if we don’t get that dirty, I still want the best cleaning power for the times that we do get dirtier.
I have a top load Samsung going on 7 years I’ve never had an issue with it. My dryer did need a new belt at year six. Looking to sell those and upgrade to newer ones. 😊
Thank you so much for the review! I'm trying to see if I should upgrade my 23 year old Kenmore 80 series machines. They just haven't given me a reason to retire them, plus I know that a new machine probably won't get me half of the life I've gotten out of my current machines. I just love the way the new machines look, I guess it is form over fashion for now until I make the jump! 🙏
I have the same Kenmore, same 80 series, in white. We just bought this Samsung set, front load washer, but do you think I'ma let my mom throw, sell the old ones... nahh. They've been going strong for 14 years now.
@@jesusmagana9650 I agree 100% Mine have recently started leaving mysterious oil spots on some of my clothing. Either I left a chapstick in the dryer at some point or there is something wrong with the machines, I want to keep them so badly, but they've been ruining my clothes 😭🤣
I wish I'd never gotten rid of my Kenmore! I hate this whirlpool front loader & it's leaving weird blue spots on clothes randomly! They sent a repair guy & he wanted to blame my oxi gel stick. Replaced something but it's still messed up. Ruining clothes at random. & these new tubs with all the plastic at the bottom things can get stuck in the crack..... I dont understand. My Kenmore had a solid metal tub with just the agitator in the middle. Worked so much better! But I do need something bigger for king size comforters.
I clean my washer once a month with the original Pine-Sol . Pine-sol is a disinfected and the original can be use for laundry so no need to worry about if left over residue
I did not realize that it had the water Jet feature! I always soak my clothes, or have to use some type of spray and wash. I checked and it works! Had mine for over a year, lol and never noticed it.
I’m with you . I never clean my washers . But I still have a 2003-2004 model . It’s finally dying . Dread buying a new washer. Want one that cleans GOOD . My husband and I do construction and need strong washing . And I want nice deep water without having to hang out and “ trick “ the washer into filling all the way . I ain’t got time for that 🤣. I’ve had one that needed to be tricked into filling up more and I switched it for my old one .
Steer clear of this washer if you want something that deep fills and cleans really good. If you want true deep cleaning in a modern HE washer, you need a front loader. Just leave the door open after every load and you won’t have smell or mold problems.
thanks, my old washer just died and I wanted something reliable. oddly enough the link you have is the one samsung top load model that I can find in stock in my area.
We have owned this washer for 10 months. Yesterday it made a burning wiring smell during the end of the wash cycle and won't continue the cycle. We like this machine but it's only 10 months old and we are gentle with it.
@@codyhi6193 It's basically a hot water rinse cycle, that cycles two or three times, followed by a high speed spin after each cycle. It works to flush out all the residue from the detergents, softeners, etc., and also flush out any residual dirt from the dirty clothes. I use mine after every three or four loads.
I just got it today , I didn’t realize how deep it was until it was getting out my first load of clothes. Had to use a step stool I’m 5’4 . Felt like a toddler trying to reach the bottom….lol so keep a step stool next to the washer, careful I don’t fall in. 😂
I’m 5’4 and I also use a step stool to retrieve wash clothes and socks that tend to stick to the bottom. My sister is only 4’9 and she just hops up there!!
Nice video. The melody that plays at the end of the wash and dry is cheerful. I love it. 🫶 It’s better than a buzzer. I’m guessing it plays for a longer time so if you just catch 2-3 seconds of it, then you know the wash is done. Also, the melody hits a lot of different notes, so if someone has hearing issues or there is just a lot of other noises in the home, you have a better chance of being alerted when it’s done.
Hello, just purchased this washer/dryer combo. Question, when you load your fabric softener , do you have to toggle the fabric softer button in order to dispense it or will it do it automatically….. ?
Nice video. I wish I had the experience you did. I bought a Samsung topload washer (mines a little different than yours) last January and I've had nonstop issues with it. The suspension rods they use to support the drums are pretty cheap and flimsy, so ours went bad. You'll see it happen if you look at the drum. So like your drum is sitting up close to the top (which it's supposed to), ours started sagging and making crazy buzzing noises. We've had our washer and dryer for less than 2 years. Also, curious and very random question, but how do you wash your sheets? We usually coil the sheets around the drum and I've tried this using both Normal and Bedding options, but it seems no matter what we do, we get the "UR" (unbalanced load) error. I'm glad you haven't had these experiences, maybe I just got a bad one...but I think I'm going to go to Speed Queen or Whirlpool for my next washer.
I'm suffering with same issue....horrible spin cycle noise and shaking...i believe the suspension rods are bad too! Getting a whirlpool on my next purchase...ive only had this machine for 2.5 years and to get the UR code every time I wash a medium load of towels or clothes is just annoying. Luckily my home warranty co-pay is affordable to get it fixed
I have the exact same washer and love it, however, about a month ago, my spin button stopped working. I can't make it go up any higher, and also, now, as of this morning, my washer refuses to spin. :( I bought mine in Nov. of 2020. Any one else have any problems with theirs like this???
Thank you for video. It’s very helpful. I have questions about water level. I don’t like my front load washer because don’t have a enough water . I like to purchase top load but I very concern about water level.
So, I just bought the Samsung 5.2 cu ft Washer and Dryer and the washer doesn't remove hair from clothes. My daughter had pet hair and her own hair on her clothes after I ran the load on Heavy Duty. My model is WA52A5500AC. Do you have any issues with hair not being removed? My 2nd load in the machine didn't get completely cleaned on Normal, as the hand towels still smelled like the body wash and facial wash used on them before washing. I just recalibrated it. Maybe that will help, but after several loads with the issues above I just may end up getting something else.
We’ve had this exact model for 2 years and did not have the same experience. Machine constantly cycles and takes hours, literally 4-5 hours to wash a small load. I’m stuck with the machine washing and rinsing only. I have to turn it off mid cycle to wring out the clothes and place them in the dryer. Will NEVER buy another Samsung.
How do u do a reset on these? Had mine 6 months and now it won’t power on. It did start working magically one day and I was able to wash 1 load but then went back to nothing. Would appreciate it if someone could tell me how to possibly reset it.
Are front loading machines build different in the US? I've heard that complaint a lot now, that they get moldy etc. I'm european, and here the front loading type is the most common one (our top loading machines are actually different than the US version, too). People here never have much issues with mold or anything, after any washing cycle you just leave the door open and it will dry out by itself... They also use less water and get the clothes clean because of the spinning motion, so you'll need less detergent too. The only issue: they take much more time, at least the european versions (up to 2.5 hrs). I never understood how clothes are supposed to get clean while they just swim around for half an hour in a bunch of water, unless you use tons of chemistry...why spent all the money on a washing machine in the first place, just throw them in a sink filled with water and swirl them around every now and then...same effect, zero energy wasted :)
Mr. Gizmo. I used different detergent softener and perfume beads however my clothes never smell good. Do you have any idea what I am doing wrong? Thank you in advance for your time🙏
Curious I have this washer and it seems like the wash times are obnoxious. Over and hour on many of them and if you add fabric softener it will add like 30 minutes to a normal wash. Like 1 hour 30 minutes total. Is this a problem or normal times?
I just bought these they come tomorrow and im finding alot of bad reviews about samaung washer going out after a year i bought the 3 year warranty but im still worried i spent over 1600 for a washer and dryer did i make a good decision
I cannot find any reviews for my exact machine, but I think they are all pretty similar. I have the WA51A5505AW. I haven't tried the Active waterjet, but that was the main reason I bought this Samsung. Everything I read says that after your done hand washer just press the button again and it will shut off and empty. I want to be able to soak the clothes for an extended period of time. I've read that it shuts itself off after 5 minutes of filling. Will it then drain? I want to be able to soak the clothes. Stop / pause????? Thanks for your help. I JUST TRIED IT AND IT DOESN'T FILL UP AT ALL with the Active Waterjet
This is also what I’m trying to figure out! I want to soak for 1-2 hours for certain things and that’s the one thing I can’t find any information about. I did find out that the presoak option adds 18 minutes of soaking time to any wash cycle, but then it doesn’t drain before washing the whole load.
Hey acabo de. Comprar esa lavadora y la conecte la puse a lavar y hace un ruido , me dijeron que tengo que quitarle una turca o un tornillo o algo así me podrías decir si tú le tuvisteis que quitar algo ?? Gracias
In the instruction manual, they say not to use vinegar because it can deteriorate the hoses and parts, but bleach was said to be ok. Bleach is much stronger than vinegar, so I thought it was odd that they pushed bleach so much. We use oxygen bleach only because it’s better for the machine and us.
@@justjennifer5440 Hello. I wish I could upload the pictures. The metal where the solvents were used, seemed inferior. It rusted as if it were an old automobile. The mechanical parts are still working well. The rust started falling into the machine and stained several items. However, there was no need to replace the entire machine so, I finally got up the courage and ordered the top part and replaced it myself. The machine looks “fairly new”. I now wipe the “bleach compartment”dry after each use(this area was “rusted and softened” from the bleach) and I leave the lid open to dry out the detergent area. I guess if you are using modern, “pod detergent” and “fabric softener sheets” it would not deteriorate as quickly. The part was ordered through, Sears Parts.
@@barksdalewilliams3971 well that’s good that you were able to get it fixed. My detergent drawer compartment is all plastic, so maybe Samsung realized it was an issue and fixed it. I use a natural detergent that I just pour straight into the drum along with my oxygen bleach, then I pour vinegar in the fabric softener compartment. Hopefully it will last us for many years.
My Samsung washer isn't spinning. I put my laundry in the washer and it kept beeping, the error code says 9C8. I never read the instructions of adding my device being my washer to get w software update.
The water jet pre treat. You know there's a button on the right push it and water comes out on the left? Mine isn't working I don't know if it's the button or where the water comes out but it's not working. It fills with water just fine but the water for pre treating doest dispense water. Of course it's out of warranty even though it says it has a 10 year warranty. I called Samsung they said I need a tech to do a service call. I don't feel the need to pay for that. I'm hoping somebody can give me a quick fix thanks
@@MrGizmo211 okay because I do that with all my washing machines. Another question I wanted to ask you is why does it agitate slow on a full load but acetate fast on a small load. I had to return my Maytag washer back to Rent-A-Center because it was doing almost the same thing as my Samsung. Is that just new washers don't do what the old washers used to do??
@@MrGizmo211 and if you can send a video of your washer with a load in it maybe some sheets and pillowcases on a full load of it agitating so I can see if mine is doing what yours is doing. That would be awesome thank you
I just got this washer. I don't think mine is filling up with enough water. while it is washing, most of the clothes are out of the water...they are damp but not getting much water. Any suggestions?
Hello I have a question I use pods can you still use that for the washer. I actually don't have it yet coming in the next week, but I found mine at home Depot 618 cause I have the platinum one. I never used Samsung always whirlpool so I hope it's good.
hi there - we have the same washer as yours but unable to open the door during a wash and every time have to pause and then restart to open the door. There is a button combination to disengage it but Samsung won't tell us saying that it is only for service repair staff. Any input?

Thank you so much for the review! I'm trying to see if I should upgrade my 23 year old Kenmore 80 series machines. They just haven't given me a reason to retire them, plus I know that a new machine probably won't get me half of the life I've gotten out of my current machines. I just love the way the new machines look, I guess it is form over fashion for now until I make the jump! 🙏
Stay with the battle tested I miss the old machines
I have the same Kenmore, same 80 series, in white. We just bought this Samsung set, front load washer, but do you think I'ma let my mom throw, sell the old ones... nahh. They've been going strong for 14 years now.
@@jesusmagana9650 I agree 100%
Mine have recently started leaving mysterious oil spots on some of my clothing. Either I left a chapstick in the dryer at some point or there is something wrong with the machines, I want to keep them so badly, but they've been ruining my clothes 😭🤣
I wish I'd never gotten rid of my Kenmore! I hate this whirlpool front loader & it's leaving weird blue spots on clothes randomly! They sent a repair guy & he wanted to blame my oxi gel stick. Replaced something but it's still messed up. Ruining clothes at random. & these new tubs with all the plastic at the bottom things can get stuck in the crack..... I dont understand. My Kenmore had a solid metal tub with just the agitator in the middle. Worked so much better! But I do need something bigger for king size comforters.
I clean my washer once a month with the original Pine-Sol . Pine-sol is a disinfected and the original can be use for laundry so no need to worry about if left over residue
You xan also just use bleach on the self clean setting. Your washer should flag you to self clean every 20 loads.
Have you washed large comforters or sleeping bags?
Am about to buy it I hope it’s worth the price thank you
I did not realize that it had the water Jet feature! I always soak my clothes, or have to use some type of spray and wash. I checked and it works! Had mine for over a year, lol and never noticed it.
I love that feature!
I’m with you . I never clean my washers . But I still have a 2003-2004 model . It’s finally dying . Dread buying a new washer. Want one that cleans GOOD . My husband and I do construction and need strong washing . And I want nice deep water without having to hang out and “ trick “ the washer into filling all the way . I ain’t got time for that 🤣. I’ve had one that needed to be tricked into filling up more and I switched it for my old one .
Steer clear of this washer if you want something that deep fills and cleans really good. If you want true deep cleaning in a modern HE washer, you need a front loader. Just leave the door open after every load and you won’t have smell or mold problems.
Nice recap review, glad this set is working out for you.
Thanks, man. Pulled the trigger on one today.
thanks, my old washer just died and I wanted something reliable. oddly enough the link you have is the one samsung top load model that I can find in stock in my area.
We have owned this washer for 10 months. Yesterday it made a burning wiring smell during the end of the wash cycle and won't continue the cycle. We like this machine but it's only 10 months old and we are gentle with it.
No excuse for not cleaning it - just select the Self-Clean option on the dial. 👍
@@codyhi6193 It's basically a hot water rinse cycle, that cycles two or three times, followed by a high speed spin after each cycle. It works to flush out all the residue from the detergents, softeners, etc., and also flush out any residual dirt from the dirty clothes. I use mine after every three or four loads.
What settings do you use for a queen comforter?? We have dogs and after washing and drying still dog hair.
This is the best looking washing machine 💯
I just got it today , I didn’t realize how deep it was until it was getting out my first load of clothes. Had to use a step stool I’m 5’4 . Felt like a toddler trying to reach the bottom….lol so keep a step stool next to the washer, careful I don’t fall in. 😂
I am 5’2” and hang over the edge to get the laundry out. Nice having large capacity but I almost disappear gettin a load out…..
I just bought one, being delivered Wednesday. I’m 5’1 so I’m definitely going to need a step stool 😂
I'm 6'2 and it's one of the deepest washers I've ever had. I've never had to hunch over a washer.
I got one today and I promptly got the hubby to fetch the socks out of the bottom. I am 4'11
I’m 5’4 and I also use a step stool to retrieve wash clothes and socks that tend to stick to the bottom. My sister is only 4’9 and she just hops up there!!
Nice video. The melody that plays at the end of the wash and dry is cheerful. I love it. 🫶 It’s better than a buzzer.
I’m guessing it plays for a longer time so if you just catch 2-3 seconds of it, then you know the wash is done.
Also, the melody hits a lot of different notes, so if someone has hearing issues or there is just a lot of other noises in the home, you have a better chance of being alerted when it’s done.
Does it load water all the way to the top? I don't like front load either and I do too think I feel like doesn't clean well.
This video was uploaded 2 year ago, how’s it holding up? I’m about to purchase this combo
So i have this and it does not clean the clothes well at all
How are people getting good use out their samsung he washers, my clothes have never had their stains taken out ever since switching to he washers
Hello, just purchased this washer/dryer combo. Question, when you load your fabric softener , do you have to toggle the fabric softer button in order to dispense it or will it do it automatically….. ?
Toggle it
Thanks mate! We just picked some up.
Nice!
Any fixes on this washer ? It shakes violently on spin cycle.. 😢
Nice video. I wish I had the experience you did. I bought a Samsung topload washer (mines a little different than yours) last January and I've had nonstop issues with it.
The suspension rods they use to support the drums are pretty cheap and flimsy, so ours went bad. You'll see it happen if you look at the drum. So like your drum is sitting up close to the top (which it's supposed to), ours started sagging and making crazy buzzing noises. We've had our washer and dryer for less than 2 years.
Also, curious and very random question, but how do you wash your sheets? We usually coil the sheets around the drum and I've tried this using both Normal and Bedding options, but it seems no matter what we do, we get the "UR" (unbalanced load) error.
I'm glad you haven't had these experiences, maybe I just got a bad one...but I think I'm going to go to Speed Queen or Whirlpool for my next washer.
Thank u for sharing I have a choice between this n a GE for a $100.00 more it will be GE
I'm suffering with same issue....horrible spin cycle noise and shaking...i believe the suspension rods are bad too! Getting a whirlpool on my next purchase...ive only had this machine for 2.5 years and to get the UR code every time I wash a medium load of towels or clothes is just annoying. Luckily my home warranty co-pay is affordable to get it fixed
@@juliek1102 I ended up getting a MayTag back in February because I was tired of repairs. The Maytag has been great.
I have the exact same washer and love it, however, about a month ago, my spin button stopped working. I can't make it go up any higher, and also, now, as of this morning, my washer refuses to spin. :( I bought mine in Nov. of 2020. Any one else have any problems with theirs like this???
Got mine this week and thrilled. Can anyone tell me what the water jet is for?
Thank you for video. It’s very helpful. I have questions about water level. I don’t like my front load washer because don’t have a enough water . I like to purchase top load but I very concern about water level.
Great review! Cant wait to get mine this Friday!
So, I just bought the Samsung 5.2 cu ft Washer and Dryer and the washer doesn't remove hair from clothes. My daughter had pet hair and her own hair on her clothes after I ran the load on Heavy Duty. My model is WA52A5500AC. Do you have any issues with hair not being removed? My 2nd load in the machine didn't get completely cleaned on Normal, as the hand towels still smelled like the body wash and facial wash used on them before washing. I just recalibrated it. Maybe that will help, but after several loads with the issues above I just may end up getting something else.
Pretty cool when you remember the one year review.
Great value. Not cheap. But really good value!

We’ve had this exact model for 2 years and did not have the same experience. Machine constantly cycles and takes hours, literally 4-5 hours to wash a small load. I’m stuck with the machine washing and rinsing only. I have to turn it off mid cycle to wring out the clothes and place them in the dryer. Will NEVER buy another Samsung.
How do u do a reset on these? Had mine 6 months and now it won’t power on. It did start working magically one day and I was able to wash 1 load but then went back to nothing. Would appreciate it if someone could tell me how to possibly reset it.
Im in the same boat i hope he has a tip
@@chrisj.2468 guess he has no answers
so, no agitator? do u keep the door open in between washes to air out the machine?
Yes I keep the door open
Do you feel like it cleans your bed sheets good?
Good review so Costco has Samsung 5.5 cu. ft. Extra-Large Capacity Smart Top Load Washer WA55CG7100AV is that WA55 the new version
Yes
Are front loading machines build different in the US? I've heard that complaint a lot now, that they get moldy etc. I'm european, and here the front loading type is the most common one (our top loading machines are actually different than the US version, too). People here never have much issues with mold or anything, after any washing cycle you just leave the door open and it will dry out by itself...
They also use less water and get the clothes clean because of the spinning motion, so you'll need less detergent too. The only issue: they take much more time, at least the european versions (up to 2.5 hrs).
I never understood how clothes are supposed to get clean while they just swim around for half an hour in a bunch of water, unless you use tons of chemistry...why spent all the money on a washing machine in the first place, just throw them in a sink filled with water and swirl them around every now and then...same effect, zero energy wasted :)
Thumbnail remind me of Johny Sinn
we just got one in white yesterday at costco for 499. we are dig'n it so far
exact same brand for $499?
Are you still happy with your Samsung washer? I just saw it at Costco for $499 and I'm thinking of getting it.
@@KravDr its still on sale at costco for $499 did you get it? i am debating it
What do you clean the washer itself with? I usually do with a gallon of white vinegar, thoughts?
Mr. Gizmo. I used different detergent softener and perfume beads however my clothes never smell good. Do you have any idea what I am doing wrong? Thank you in advance for your time🙏
Curious I have this washer and it seems like the wash times are obnoxious. Over and hour on many of them and if you add fabric softener it will add like 30 minutes to a normal wash. Like 1 hour 30 minutes total. Is this a problem or normal times?
I just bought these they come tomorrow and im finding alot of bad reviews about samaung washer going out after a year i bought the 3 year warranty but im still worried i spent over 1600 for a washer and dryer did i make a good decision
Extended warranty is a good idea!! I think they actually have gotten much better!
Where does fabric softener go
Thanks. I’m in the process of purchasing this.
I have never had mold on a front loader or have it smell, they also do something top loaders don't do well, clean.
Does the rinse cycle cause any vibrations to the house?
I cannot find any reviews for my exact machine, but I think they are all pretty similar. I have the WA51A5505AW. I haven't tried the Active waterjet, but that was the main reason I bought this Samsung. Everything I read says that after your done hand washer just press the button again and it will shut off and empty. I want to be able to soak the clothes for an extended period of time. I've read that it shuts itself off after 5 minutes of filling. Will it then drain? I want to be able to soak the clothes. Stop / pause????? Thanks for your help. I JUST TRIED IT AND IT DOESN'T FILL UP AT ALL with the Active Waterjet
This is also what I’m trying to figure out! I want to soak for 1-2 hours for certain things and that’s the one thing I can’t find any information about. I did find out that the presoak option adds 18 minutes of soaking time to any wash cycle, but then it doesn’t drain before washing the whole load.
Didn’t see the link on how to remove the jingle in the description :/
Which model is this one?
Hey acabo de. Comprar esa lavadora y la conecte la puse a lavar y hace un ruido , me dijeron que tengo que quitarle una turca o un tornillo o algo así me podrías decir si tú le tuvisteis que quitar algo ?? Gracias
I have owned the white model for five years. The rusting from bleach and detergent are really bad.
In the instruction manual, they say not to use vinegar because it can deteriorate the hoses and parts, but bleach was said to be ok. Bleach is much stronger than vinegar, so I thought it was odd that they pushed bleach so much. We use oxygen bleach only because it’s better for the machine and us.
@@justjennifer5440
Hello. I wish I could upload the pictures. The metal where the solvents were used, seemed inferior. It rusted as if it were an old automobile.
The mechanical parts are still working well. The rust started falling into the machine and stained several items. However, there was no need to replace the entire machine so, I finally got up the courage and ordered the top part and replaced it myself.
The machine looks “fairly new”.
I now wipe the “bleach compartment”dry after each use(this area was “rusted and softened” from the bleach) and I leave the
lid open to dry out the detergent area.
I guess if you are using modern, “pod detergent” and “fabric softener sheets” it would not deteriorate as quickly. The part was ordered through, Sears Parts.
@@barksdalewilliams3971 well that’s good that you were able to get it fixed. My detergent drawer compartment is all plastic, so maybe Samsung realized it was an issue and fixed it. I use a natural detergent that I just pour straight into the drum along with my oxygen bleach, then I pour vinegar in the fabric softener compartment. Hopefully it will last us for many years.
I have one as well, absolutely love it!!
Does it have an inside light when you open the top of the washing machine?
Not in the washer :)
Only issue I have is after mines go through the cleaning cycle and start beeping it doesn’t want to drain sometimes.
Thank u
Will this washer and dryer be good for me cause I just bought the same ones but I have hard water in the area I am living .
What does the pet care setting on the this washer?
Busy looking for washing machine so far i like this 1
My Samsung washer isn't spinning. I put my laundry in the washer and it kept beeping, the error code says 9C8. I never read the instructions of adding my device being my washer to get w software update.
My aunt recently bought this machine and she cannot get hot water in it! The most she can get is tepid, just barely warm. She is not happy about it.
Do you have a soft water system in your house?
Hows the agitation of clothes without a middle agitator??
Is there a filtet that needs cleaning on this one? i cant seem to find anything on it. Also, it does retain water after washing. how do we drain it??
How do I get something out that is stuck between the inner tub and outer tub?
I got this washed yesterday n don't know to wrk it I try all kind of things n still not getting to wrk the way it supports help plz
Is this automatic does it dry clothes aswel ?
The water jet pre treat. You know there's a button on the right push it and water comes out on the left? Mine isn't working I don't know if it's the button or where the water comes out but it's not working. It fills with water just fine but the water for pre treating doest dispense water. Of course it's out of warranty even though it says it has a 10 year warranty. I called Samsung they said I need a tech to do a service call. I don't feel the need to pay for that. I'm hoping somebody can give me a quick fix thanks
How do you change the filter?
Does it have some filter that gets clogged after months or years?
I am getting my Samsung washer today just like yours. I have a question do you guys leave the lid up after you wash a load so it doesn't smell
I always do that! I also open the little drawer for laundry detergent.
@@MrGizmo211 okay because I do that with all my washing machines. Another question I wanted to ask you is why does it agitate slow on a full load but acetate fast on a small load. I had to return my Maytag washer back to Rent-A-Center because it was doing almost the same thing as my Samsung. Is that just new washers don't do what the old washers used to do??
@@MrGizmo211 and if you can send a video of your washer with a load in it maybe some sheets and pillowcases on a full load of it agitating so I can see if mine is doing what yours is doing. That would be awesome thank you
Seems like Samsung is trying to make a comeback with their appliances.
I just got this washer. I don't think mine is filling up with enough water. while it is washing, most of the clothes are out of the water...they are damp but not getting much water. Any suggestions?
Where is the filter
Hello I have a question I use pods can you still use that for the washer. I actually don't have it yet coming in the next week, but I found mine at home Depot 618 cause I have the platinum one. I never used Samsung always whirlpool so I hope it's good.
Yes - you can definitely use pods.
hi there - we have the same washer as yours but unable to open the door during a wash and every time have to pause and then restart to open the door. There is a button combination to disengage it but Samsung won't tell us saying that it is only for service repair staff. Any input?
What made you choose Samsung’s over LG’s top loaders?
Where do you put the powder detergent that, I have the new Samsung 5.5 cu ft. It’s say “Liquid Only” but I have powder.
Where the liquid detergent goes it's just a blue insert that goes in there remove the blue insert and then you can put powder in.
