Why does my Samsung Washer fill with the wrong temperature water?
- A
  Angela YoungSep 16, 2025
  If your Samsung washer is filling with the wrong temperature water: * Fully open both water taps. * Ensure the temperature selection is correct. * Make sure the hoses are connected to the correct water taps and flush the water lines. * Disconnect the hoses and clean the mesh filters. * Note that the water temperature may change as the automatic temperature control checks incoming water temperature, which is normal. * You may notice just hot or cold water going through the dispenser when cold or warm temperatures are selected; this is normal for the automatic temperature control.

  If water is not being supplied to your Samsung Washer, first, ensure you press the START/PAUSE button after selecting your cycle and options, and that the water taps are fully open. Straighten any kinks in the water supply hoses. Open and close the door, then press START/PAUSE. If the water pressure is low, the start of the wash may be delayed.
