  If the water isn't draining from your Samsung Washer, check if the drain hose is positioned downwards (for models without a pump). Ensure the drain hose isn't frozen or clogged. If the water doesn't drain within 30 minutes, a buzzer will sound, and the display will show '5E'.

  If water isn't being supplied to your Samsung Washer, make sure the water tap is open and that water isn't cut off. Also, check the water supply hose and its connections for any clogs. Ensure the water tap isn't frozen. If the water supply isn't finished in 1 hour, or there's no water level change 5 minutes (10 minutes for some models) after starting, the buzzer will ring, and '4E' will show on the display.

Function Description

The Samsung Washing Machine is designed for domestic use, offering various washing programs and features to ensure efficient and thorough cleaning of garments. It incorporates an automatic sensing function that detects laundry weight and adjusts water level, wash time, rinse cycles, and spin time accordingly. The machine supports both automatic and manual function selection, allowing users to customize wash cycles based on their needs.

Key functions include:

Washing Machine Operation: The machine performs washing, rinsing, and spinning cycles. Users can select predefined programs like Fuzzy, Quick, Super Clean, Blanket, Jeans, Delicate, Soak, Aqua Preserve, and Eco Tub Clean.
Automatic Sensing Function: Automatically determines optimal washing parameters based on laundry load.
Manual Function Selection: Allows users to manually set wash time (6-30 minutes), rinse count (1-5 times), and spin time (1-9 minutes).
Delay End: Enables users to set a delayed end time for the wash cycle, ranging from 1 to 19 hours.
Child Lock: A safety feature that prevents unintended operation by children or infirm persons. When activated, it locks the control panel and drains water if the lid is opened, preventing potential injury.
Smart Check: A diagnostic function that allows users to check the washing machine's status using a smartphone app (Samsung Smart Washer). It displays error codes and provides countermeasures.
Eco Tub Clean: A dedicated program for cleaning the washing tub, designed to remove contaminations and prevent odors. The machine provides a reminder when this cycle is due.
Power Wash (Option): Controls the strength of water flow during washing and spinning using a digital inverter motor for fabric-specific care.
Magic Wash (Option): Similar to Power Wash, it controls water flow strength (High-Mid-Low) for conventional motor models.
Air Turbo: A function to speed dry laundry, with options for 15 or 30 minutes. It can only be selected if a spin cycle is set.
Aqua Preserve: An option to reuse remaining water from the rinse cycle, helping to save water.

Usage Features

The washing machine offers a user-friendly experience with a control panel that includes a digital graphic display for wash time, delay end time, and error states.

Before Washing:

Garment Care: Users are advised to check for bleaching, stains, and discoloring, and to pre-treat specific areas like collars and sleeves. Certain items like neckties, brassieres, and leather products are not recommended for machine washing.
Detergent Use: Proper detergent amount is crucial to avoid damage and residue. Warm water (40°C) is recommended for dissolving detergents. Powder detergents should be placed in the detergent box, not directly on laundry, to prevent discoloration.
Loading Laundry: Pockets should be emptied, zippers closed, and clothing with long strings secured. Waterproof items should not be washed. Delicate items, large volume items, or those with foreign matter should be washed separately or in a laundry net. Blankets should be folded and soaked before starting a cycle.
First-time Use: A complete cycle without clothes should be run to clear any manufacturing residue.

During Washing:

Lid Safety: The lid must be kept closed during washing and spinning. If opened during a cycle, the machine automatically stops for safety (except during water supply).
Detergent and Softener Addition: Detergent can be added to the detergent box during water supply, or by pausing the cycle. Fabric softener is automatically added during the last rinse cycle via its dispenser.

Maintenance Features

Regular maintenance is essential for the longevity and performance of the washing machine.

Installation:

Placement: Maintain at least 10 cm space from walls. The washer must be on a sturdy, flat surface and leveled using the adjustable legs. Avoid installing near water, direct sunlight, or heaters.
Water Supply Hose: Connect the water supply hose securely to the water tap and the inlet valve at the back of the washer. Ensure no leaks after connection.
Drain Hose: Connect the drain hose tightly to the drain outlet. For pump-drained models, ensure the hose is positioned 90-100 cm above the ground and not submerged. For general washers, secure the hose with the joint ring. The drain hose length is adjustable.
Rat Protection Panel (Option): Install the panel by tilting the washer and inserting it into the assembling hole until it clicks.
Calibration Mode: After installation, run Calibration Mode without laundry to ensure accurate weight detection.

Cleaning:

Water Supply Connector Filter: Regularly pull out and wash the filter to prevent clogging.
Pump Filter (Option): Periodically remove, clean, and reinsert the pump filter to remove dirt.
Detergent Compartment: Separate and clean the detergent compartment and the Rinse-Cap to prevent residue buildup.
Eco Tub Clean: Use this program regularly to clean the tub and prevent odors or secondary contamination. The machine will remind the user when it's time for this cycle.

Troubleshooting: The manual includes a comprehensive troubleshooting guide for common issues such as:

Washing machine not working: Check power, plug, water tap, and water supply.
Water not draining (5E error): Check drain hose position, for freezing, or clogging.
Water not supplied (4E error): Check water tap, water cut-off, hose clogging, or freezing.
Spinning not working (UE error): Ensure laundry is spread evenly and the machine is on a sturdy, flat surface.
Water overflowed (1E dE error): Restart after spinning.
Child Lock error (CL or dE): Close the door, turn power off and on after draining.
Water leakage (LE error): Check drain hose position, for clogging, and water supply hose connections.
Loud noises/vibrations: Check laundry distribution, machine level, and for unnecessary items around the machine.
