      Gary CannonAug 27, 2025
      If your Samsung Washer won't start, make sure the door is completely closed and that the appliance is properly plugged into a working outlet. Also, ensure the water source faucets are fully open and that you've pressed the Start/Pause button. It's also worth checking that the Child Lock feature isn't activated. If none of these steps work, inspect the fuse or reset the circuit breaker. Note that before the washer starts filling, it will make clicking noises as it checks the door lock and performs a quick drain.
