  Lawrence FosterJul 29, 2025
  If your Samsung washer isn't starting, there could be several reasons. First, ensure that the washer is properly plugged into a working outlet and that the door is fully closed. Also, check that the water faucets are open. Press the Start/Pause button, holding it if necessary, to initiate the wash cycle. Make sure that the Child Lock feature is not activated. If these steps don't work, check the fuse or reset the circuit breaker. Note that before the washer begins to fill, it may produce clicking sounds as it checks the door lock and performs a quick drain.

Why is my Samsung Washer making excessive vibrations or noise?
- A
  Austin StewartAug 6, 2025
  Excessive vibrations or noise in your Samsung washer can stem from several factors. Make sure the washer is installed on a level, solid, and non-slippery floor. If the floor is uneven, adjust the washer's height using the leveling feet. Ensure that the shipping bolts have been removed and that the washer isn't touching any surrounding objects. An unbalanced laundry load can also cause vibrations, so redistribute the items. The motor's operation, as well as metal objects such as coins, or clothes with metal decorations, can cause noise during normal operation. Remove such objects from the drum or filter case after washing. When washing pillows and cushions, remove their fillings and wash only the covers.

  If your Samsung washer isn't getting enough water, start by fully opening the faucet. Make sure that the washer door is completely closed. Check the water supply hose to ensure it isn't frozen, kinked, or clogged. Also, verify that there is sufficient water pressure.

  To prevent detergent from remaining in the detergent drawer of your Samsung washer, ensure the washer is running with sufficient water pressure. If you're using liquid detergent, add it to the liquid detergent container. If you prefer powdered detergent, remove the liquid detergent container. Also, remember to regularly clean the detergent drawer.
