Why is my Samsung Washer leaking water?

If your Samsung Washer stops mid-cycle, ensure the power cord is plugged into a live electrical outlet and check the fuse or reset the circuit breaker. Close the door and press the Start/Pause Button. The washer makes clicking noises to check the door lock and do a quick drain. There may be a pause or soak period in the cycle, so wait briefly. Also, check the screens on the inlet hoses at the faucets for obstructions and clean them periodically.
Why is my Samsung WD1172XVM Washer vibrating or too noisy?
If your Samsung Washer is vibrating or is too noisy, ensure it is set on a level surface and adjust the feet to level it if necessary. Make sure that the shipping bolts are removed and that the washer is not touching any other object. Also, ensure the laundry load is balanced.
Why Samsung WD1172XVM Washer fills with the wrong temperature water?
If your Samsung Washer is filling with the wrong temperature water, fully turn on both faucets and make sure the temperature selection is correct. Ensure the hoses are connected to the correct faucets and flush the water lines. Check the water heater to ensure it delivers a minimum of 120 °F (49° C) hot water at the tap, and check its capacity and recovery rate. Disconnect the hoses and clean the screens, as they may be plugged. Note that the water temperature may change as the automatic temperature control feature checks the incoming water temperature, which is normal. Also, you may notice just hot and/or just cold water going through the dispenser when cold or warm wash temperatures are selected, which is a normal function of the automatic temperature control feature.
