Thank you..Thank you.. After 7+ years with my Samsung without any problems,the spin cycle was removing less and less water to the point that water was pooling at the bottom of the drum and /or the clothes had to be rung by hand- placed on the outdoor clothes line (Ca).Spent the weekend researching the big box store websites researching new washers and becoming depressed with the 2-3-4 star reviews. Being retired,the thought was planning ahead to save some funds for a new washer and or being resigned to go all out and buy a Speed Queen which would outlive me seeing that I’m 77 years old.Thought about contacting a repair man but decided to do your “ KZfaq”. Opened up the lower door corner panel/had a towel-sponge-bucket ready and drained the excess water. Then I removed the filter and after 7+ years, it looked like a drain filter that was used in a dog grooming / bath salon. So much gunk/fibers/paper fragments/even a penny was removed because it as 110% clogged. Cleaned/flushed/washed the filter-reinserted it and ran a “ quick wash” cycle. Worked like a new machine/spun all the water from the clothes and your video saved me $1200 that I would have used to buy a new washer. Or the repair person would have charged me hundreds of dollars- just to clean out the water pump filter. From a 77 year old veteran- Thank you again.

This happened to me for over a year. Kept getting suds alarm. Checked the front basket which was empty so I kept telling my wife to use less detergent 😅. Similar to your recommendation, I went underneath and disconnected the rubber hose/funnel right before it goes to the debris basket and pulled out a coin and two toddler socks which essentially blocked all drain flow. I've had to do the same for mostly socks and kids trinkets. Bad design by Samsung to not make the debris basket larger in diameter. As a consequence of the blockage, I had a moldy boot seal which I replaced last week. Just be careful if you're taking the front panel off (the one with touch buttons) so you don't break the tabs. This video was too late for me but overall a good rundown of what I previously did!

Was able to order a $20 replacement pump and get this fixed in less that 2 hours. Many thanks for this video, I was quoted $120 just for a service call and another $250 for a pump replacement. For anyone else’s reference my pump was rotating freely with only or two bumps like he described, if it’s working properly each turn of the prop should kick over the magnet.

Lately, we've had a number of failures with newer appliances and replaced three of these Chinese manufactured pump motors. I replaced with larger motors, but these are problems I never had with older, U.S. domestic manufactured appliances. I see huge problems looming on the horizon for appliance owners in the U.S. Replacement parts will be hard to come by or unavailable. I experienced the sourcing problem most recently with sourcing a hinge for a 3 year old Samsung refrigerator. It ended up being a JB Weld repair.

My question is not Samsung related but lg related instead. I have a one month old WM4000HBA front loader. I’ve noticed suds coming out the back of the washer from the air vent. It happened 3 times on a brand new machine. I’ve done research and it said I’m using to much detergent. I only put in 1 maybe 2 tablespoons. If I use pods it works fine. Contacted lg customer service and they told me I had residual soap built up in the machine, of which I ran the tub clean cycle and it still did it twice. They said to run the tub clean cycle 3 times back to back with an afresh tablet each time. Did that today and hope it works. My question is have you ever heard of this situation of leaking suds, and are they telling me the correct thing to do or could something else be wrong? Thanks!

Do you know a way to force the drain pump on to see if it is functioning while it is in the housing. I suspect that the circulator is not operating properly. The best I could come up with right now is long pressing spin in whatever cycle one uses. I was able to see the pump impeller come on, but I couldn't see the circulator impeller turn on before water started rushing out. The pump impeller didn't sound too smooth either, but that may just be a symptom of running dry.

I've got a similar problem. When my washer finishes a wash cycle and the water begins to drain, the discharge pipe fills all the way up to the top and sits there until the washer is about to go in to the spin cycle and then the water immediately drains out so it doesn't seem to be a problem with the drain. This is a problem because the water gets all the way to the top of the drain pipe and overflows so that enough water to make a mess spills out on to the floor. I did a temporary workaround by putting in a pvc drain basin so that the excess water spills out in to it but I don't know what to do beyond that.
