  If your Samsung washer isn't starting, here are a few things to check: * Ensure the washer is properly plugged in. * Make sure the door is completely closed. * Verify that the water faucets are turned on. * Press or tap the Start/Pause button (or Hold to Start). * Confirm that Child Lock is not activated. * Check the fuse or reset the circuit breaker. Also, before the washer starts filling, it will make clicking noises to check the door lock and perform a quick drain – this is normal.
