Thank you. I was having a little trouble with that bolt at the bottom of the machine. Once I remove the cap which actually one of those plastic clips broke off. when I called Samsung they wanted $56 plus the shipping fee through FedEx cause that’s the only way they ship it which I thought was ridiculous for a plastic cap. Found it on Amazon for $11 now that you’ve showed me how to clean that dirty smell out of the washer. I appreciate it very much. I was quoted by Samsung a 250 to 350 to come out and work on it. I’m a do it yourself Guy and I really don’t like getting ripped off. Thanks again.

47 yr old mom of 2. I’m still paying off this washer and dryer. I can tell you that my machine kept forcing a cleaning cycle after washing blankets. I knew something wasn’t right. I followed these easy steps and now it’s working perfect. I use powder detergent that is supposedly safe for these machines and there was build up in there for sure. I did read I should use a cup of bleach and run the cleaning cycle. I wasn’t doing that but I will going forward. Good tip with the screw btw came up so easily unlike my last machine.

Yeah you're not wrong. There are several design flaws in these Samsung washer/dryers. Aside from mold, lint, they also have a problem with dissimilar metals under the wash basket and behind the dryer drum so they corrode. It'll be my last Samsung washer/dryer.

Excellent video. Thank you so much for being generous with your time and showing it. One other filter is important. The inlet valves behind the washer have a screen in them. Remove the water hoses and put a wet/dry vacuum hose up to each inlet valve to suck out and particles trapped by the screens. The machine will let you know that they are blocked by a code and your manual will explain that code. For a Dryer lint trap tip, remove the lint trap, attache a small hose to that wet-dry vac that will reach down into the trap cavity and suck out the lint that's stuck all over it. Now here is the best part but with a disclaimer. Do at your own risk. Caution needed so that your not injured with the drum turning, but you shouldn't be. Do not do this with children watching. With the door open, push in the door safety and secure it with tape etc. Get a strong air compressor with an air gun and that small hose that you used.earlier. With the door safety switch secured, turn on the dryer to "air only setting" and with the compressor running and using the air gun and small hose, blow down into the lint cavity towards the impeller fan all that clinging lint. This will clear all of the lint out of the lint cavity and thru the exhaust hose to the outside because it's being sucked out by the impeller fan. Keep that small hose away from the impellar fan as well as your fingers. Remember, DO AT YOUR OWN RISK! I have seen a video of a guy disconnecting the dryer vent hose from behind the dryer and using a leaf blower to blow out all the stuck lint that's in it to the outside. I have yet to try that, but it looks feasible. I would think that propping open the outside vent's louvers or cover will be more helpful.

I just cleaned mine out. This only gets about 10% of gross mold stuff, you must take the drum out to see the other 90% and the total disgusting nature of the the samsung beast. It only takes another 15 minutes to disassemble, but a while to clean it to the bare bones. This is a quick maintenance though to at least get some of it.

It drains with no issues and no error messages but i wonder if the net effect of the dirt is just the machine not cleaning… hmmmm

Hey I know this is an older video but maybe you’ll see this…. My center agitator is plastic and every time I try to turn the bolt the whole inside moves around with me. My model isn’t the steam one but otherwise looks just the same. Any tips? Thank you
@zerializing9 ай бұрын
On the model I have, the agitator has threads that the bolt screws into pretty freely, I think maybe you might have some corrosion in the threads portion of your agitator which is preventing you from cleanly threading the bolt, either that or the bolt is crossthreaded perhaps.. I'd say to unthread the bolt and try to thread it by hand while holding the agitator in place if that doesn't work, something is wrong with the bolt or the agitator.

Much like your car there's a little book in there that's called the instructions, suggest reading them and it tells you all about cleaning your Samsung washer, there is a cleaning cycle that it has to go through every 20 washes and you can run bleach in there during this time, just saying.....
@zerializing Жыл бұрын
Cool, where is the setting in the instuction book that removes water that stands under the pulsator? Much like a car that is subject to recalls and technical service bulletins, the engineers can oft overlook certain things or design within what they deem to be 'acceptable'. While I do run the 'cleaning' cycle, it is not enough to keep up with the prolonged use and design flaws inherant of this unit and similar units. This post is meant to be supplemental to a very common report if you look into it. While I appreciate your feedback, I'd also challenge you that if you have this same unit, check under the pulsator and post a video comparing the condition within the same period of ownership. Which for me is now nearing 3-4 years.

I have the same if not similar model of washer machine and honestly the manual was trash, it was not helpful at all. Heading: Cleaning the interior Description: Clean the interior of your washer periodically to remove any dirt, soil, odor, mold, mildew, or bacterial residue that may remain in your washer as a result of washing clothes. Failure to follow these instructions may result in unpleasant conditions, including odors and/or permanent stains in your washer or laundry. Hard water deposits may be removed as needed. Use cleaners labeled “Washer safe”. Ummmm, it doesn’t say know HOW or WHERE to clean out the mold and such. My spouse and I took the whole drum out of the machine after watching a few videos of how to clean the machine. We cleaned off the gunk and even after, still, there was residue found on our clothes. I’ve resorted to adding vinegar to the loads to combat the mildew smell but so far no luck on the issue of gunk found on our clothes.
