First tutorial I watched involved dragging in a wet vac. So glad I found this one! 2 caps from laundry detergent to catch water, one pail to hold it, 15 minutes and I was done. I never knew this needed to be done. So after 2 years of use, I got out enough dog hair out of the filter to make a small puppy! :) Thank you so much!

Cleaned this a few times before and never realized the hose was there until I reread the owners manual. However I had trouble getting the cap off the end. Thank you showing that particular process and for making this process easier.

Most informative video on how to clean the filter! Thank you!

Thank you for such a thorough and concise video. You got straight to the point without over explanation and that's much appreciated.

I've had this washer for about 2 years and never realized I should have been doing this. Got the SUDS error and found your video. There was an insert from a shower shoe stuck in there! No wonder it's been acting up. Lol. Great video, thank you for posting it! Washer runs like new now.

Thank you so much for this video. You helped us greatly. I was gifted my machine from my mom. She told me I needed to clean it out before using it. I couldn't get the cap off the hose easily, so I thought I was suppose to unscrew the big knob. A lot of water came flooding out, so I screwed it back as fast as I possibly could. I didn't seat it back in right, so it continued to leak. My husband screwed it back right, but we had no idea it actually had a filter on it 😅. We now know how to clean our filter.

Super straightforward and no chit chat. Thank you

Thank you so much! I had my machine for three years and just found out I need to clean the filter?!? Omg 😂

Didn't even know I had a filter that needed to be cleaned! 😳 Thank you for your video.👍

Thanks! I knew I was supposed to clean the filter but the little diagrams in the manual were not too informative. Your video was well focused and told me everything I needed to know!

Best directions! I’ve been trying a lot of things to stop the water from spilling. I didn’t know about the small hose. Thanks!

Straight to the point.... Thanks. I waited for a technician for so long that I just had to do it myself

Wish I had seen this video before cleaning my filter the first time. This is the best video I have seen after checking out several others! Excellent job showing what a dirty filter looks like.

Had mine for 3yrs and thank god you made this video it’s the first it as been cleaned wasn’t as bad as I thought. Thank you very helpful.

Thank you! My washer wasn't draining properly. The filter was clogged with a few fabric pieces. I'm so proud to have "fixed" an appliance on my own!

Great tip about putting down a towel before draining the hose. Quick and informative.

I just ordered my washer I'm waiting for it to be delivered so I've been looking up how to keep it maintained this was very helpful. Thank you.

Wow!!! Thank you so much, I’ve had my washer for years and didn’t even know it had a filter. 👍

Thank you. Working for a customer doing some house and yard work and they complained about the smell in the washer. The filter had never been cleaned. I was turning the wrong way. So I really appreciate your help. 😊

Thank you so much, I've recently brought a new samsung washing machine and all the years I've known of Samsung's, I've never known how to clean the filter to it until now. Helped sooo much. Definitely needed a clean! 💪🏽👌🏽

Just the thing I needed to see. Thank you so much for posting this.

Thanks!! I didnt know about the little plug on the hose. Also, I promptly lost the manual on install, and Google thought you were the best help when i searched.

Ahhhhh thank you thank you thank you!! That smell was so bad and I noticed when trying to clean it my way there is a filter. Who knew!? Lol this helped so much! I appreciate you!!!

Thank you. I should have watched this video before I did it because I ended up with a watery mess on my floor!

You are the man! Thank you so much. I never knew about the filter for the past 7 years. LOL

I was troubleshooting clogs for an hour. I vacuumed out the rear drain with a shop vac and still would not drain. Thank you so much! You just saved me $$$ from replacing a machine that I fixed in several minutes after I saw your video.

Thanks so much! I never noticed the little compartment and was looking on back for filter the whole time. Video was perfect!

That was so helpful. Thank you so much. Simple clear and easy. Wow!

So glad I watched this. I've cleaned the filter on my machine several times before, but always had to mop up afterwards. I simply had not noticed the drain tube. Now I'll probably clean every 2 months, as recommended, rather than just once every now and then. Thanks for this useful information.

Huge help! Thank you!!

THANK YOU! Just noticed this box on the bottom of the washer.. we have had it for 1yr+ and have never cleaned it... better late than never!

Like it, simple quick instruction and easy to follow. thanks

Super easy and helpful since I couldn't find the instructions for the machine. Thank you so much.

If only all “how to” videos on KZfaq were as good as this. Thank you!

Thank you so much we had lost our manual and you were the first video I pulled up and you explained it perfectly I appreciate you

I’m in a townhome with washer and dryer supplied. My filter door doesn’t have a sign on it. A friend told me about cleaning it. So after a year being here I’m doing it today. Thanks from Arkansas for sharing this video.

Thanks man. Really helpful video. Straight to the point and informative.

Very good and straight forward step to step instructions. Thanks really appreciate

Great video, simple short and easy!

Thank you, perfect instructions, simple to follow

Thank you for your helpful video! Cheers!

Holy Moly. Thank you so much. I drained the hose and the standing water in the drum). Cleaned out the filter! Wow... it was completely full!...rocks, wrapper, button, screw, dime, and lots of dog hair. I wasn't aware of the filter or that it needed to be cleaned, but I will from now on. Been without laundry for week now and I'm running my first load. Keeping my fingers crossed that your amazing directions have solved the problem. -MKCT

Thank you so much for video. Had my Samsung for 5 years and never figured out how to change the filter.

Fantastic help! Thank you for the clear and easy to follow video.

Thanks for the video! I learned things and now am ready to tackle that filter without fear!

Very helpful, thanks for sharing! Note: If your washer is mounted on a pedestal, just place small bowl inside the drawer.

It did help me - now i feel comfortable doing it. Will do it tonight or tomorrow) I am afraid to see what it looks like I’ve had them a year and not done it

Thanks, It worked just like you said! One word of warning go to the bathroom before as the trickling sound of the water made me have to take a break in the middle of this little 5 minute job :-)

Never knew it had a filter... Mine was so clogged. Thank you so much for your time and help.

Totally subscribing. My Lord. Didn’t even know this existed. Thanks for sharing.

Thank you!! Found your video on how to clean these and it was so helpful! Clear instructions and showed step by step.

Perfect! Thank you!

Just got done draining and cleaning the filter. That water can sure be funky! Oh I found a dime in the filter too LOL. Thanks a bunch and yes I gave you a thumbs up!

Thanks, I found out about this at 1am. Great video.

Thank you SO MUCH! You just saved me 75.00!! Which by the way I didn’t have to spend on washer repair.... My washer would not drain for the wash cycle, so it was left with how ever many gallons of water the front loader holds. I did open the little rubber drain but there was just to much. I am currently running a fan and have 2 loads of wet towels to wash. BUT it is working now. Thank you again!

Great help! Thanks for a short, concise and informative video that is very useful!

Many thanks for making things clear & explaining the process simply.

Thank you so much for this helpful video. When I detached the hose to clean it I couldn't see how to reconnect it and kept trying to fit the white part into the rectangular hole but of course that didn't work. Then after watching your video could see that it just needed to be placed back onto the clip.

Thanks! We have NEVER cleaned our washing machine filter and we wash lots of gross laundry. My friend told me about needing to do this so thanks for explaining exactly how. Wish me luck, this is gonna be ugly...

Thank you very informative!!!!
