  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.

Why is my Samsung Washer making excessive vibrations or noise?

  christopheraguilarSep 12, 2025
  Excessive vibrations or noise in your Samsung washer can stem from several factors. Ensure the washer is on a level, solid, and non-slippery floor. If the floor isn't level, adjust the height using the leveling feet. Also, confirm that the shipping bolts have been removed and that the washer isn't touching anything else. An unbalanced laundry load can also cause this issue. The motor can cause noise during normal operation. Overalls or metal-decorated clothes and metal objects like coins can also cause noise during washing. Remove the filling of pillows and cushions and wash only the covers.
