  If your Samsung Washer isn't starting, several factors could be at play. First, ensure the door is fully closed and that the water taps are open. Don't forget to press or tap the START/PAUSE button to initiate the wash cycle. Also, verify that the Child Lock feature isn't activated. If the door was opened mid-spin, close it and press START/PAUSE to continue. The machine may be in Standby or a soaking cycle, so allow it some time. It's also worth checking the fuse or circuit breaker. Note that before filling, the washer will make clicking sounds to check the door lock and perform a quick drain.

  If water isn't being supplied to your Samsung Washer, there are several possible reasons. First, ensure that you press or tap START/PAUSE after selecting the water supply. Also, verify that the water taps are fully open and that the water supply hoses are straightened. If the filter net at the water supply hose connector is clogged, clean it with a toothbrush. If the water supply is cut off, close the tap and power off the washer. Opening and closing the door, then pressing START/PAUSE may also help. Note that low water pressure can extend the wash start time. Also, if the water level isn't high enough, use the level selector to adjust it.
