If your Samsung Washer doesn't start, ensure the door is fully closed and that the water taps are open. Press the Start/Pause button. Also, verify that the Child Lock is deactivated. Note that before filling, the machine makes clicking noises to check the door lock, followed by a quick drain. If the door was opened during spinning, close it and press Start/Pause to resume. The machine may be in Standby, paused, or soaking, so wait. Finally, check the fuse or reset the circuit breaker.
