Front Load Washer NOT DRAINING? Easy how to repair. It May not be the Filter. Samsung or LG Loader

How to fix Samsung front load washer if it is not draining. Sometimes they won’t even go into spin cycle. It’s not always the filter sometimes it’s just before the filter this part will fill up with sand coins or get stopped up with a piece of fabric. There’s many symptoms of this problem mainly the machine not draining but sometimes it will throw a error code like ND on the display.
I hope this easy step-by-step video will help you fix your front load washer. Sometimes this problem will occur not just with Sam son but with LJ kenmore world pool or many other front load washers front loaders have this problem quite often and who knows what will be stopped up inside of the machine.
Front load washer repair can be very expensive but if it’s not draining or spinning be sure to check this first how to unclog the drain pump is a really good thing to know for a homeowner that wants to save money on a repair man coming out and charge them a fortune.

The underwear is what finally did it in i guess. Hooked it up and it works perfectly now! Thank you!

Very cool. Glad to help. I’m hoping that material is not dissolved aluminum. If you Google front load washer spider arm you’ll see a common problem with front load washers. Basically the arm that holds up the stainless steel drum is made of aluminum and corrodes extremely quickly. I thought about this after I made that video. Hopefully you’re right and it’s just material off the back of a rug.

I have the exact same problem. The service guy bought the new pump and was about to replace and I asked just see the drain hose once please and he didn't. I insisted and thats when he saw the clogged pipe. Mine was clogged after washing off rugs. The guy couldn't put the drain hose pipe back in place after taking off. He couldn't figure out how to wrap that wire around the pipe. He said he is going to bring a new one. Its already been two weeks. Its very frustrating. I learned my lesson that never wash those rugs in machine again. I am worried about the dryer, I put the rugs after washer in that. Now dryer is dirty with all those rug crumbs. Should a simple vaccum inside the drier is enough? Or Inneed to worry about something else ?

Also on the top there is a detergent hose connected which often has several bends in the hose to route the detergent into the drum. If indeed they used a thick detergent, such as a shaved soap etc, this can gunk up the hose & block it. When this happens water will usually spill out at the top where the detergent tray slides in and out. Just thought I would add this little fyi for other folks that may be experiencing a situation in which may not be covered by a youtube video. It is this very reason as to why some manufacturers place detergent restrictions on some washers, could it be avoided by a better design? of course.

There is a different ways to take them off depending on the type of machine and when it was made. Usually it’s just loosen that metal strap and it will be extremely pressed on because of how long that strap has been on it. Sometimes you’ll have to give it a little bit of a twist and it will come right off. Your best bet would be fine a breakdown video of your exact machine and you will see someone taking it off. I’ve heard that part called the boot so you may look up videos on removing the boot from a front load washer.

Thank you for this video! I’m going to try this, though I’m not sure it’s what’s causing my machines problems. I was getting a “temperature sensor error” but even after I replaced that, it completed one load and the error came back. I think the water isn’t draining and might be backing up inside, effecting other parts. When I pull the plug on the drain hose, nothing comes out but when I unscrew the coin trap, water floods out even though the filter is clean. Any idea what’s causing that?
