  • Key Specs
    • Color Finish: White
    • Product Height: 45 inches (The out of box height of the item. Height is measured as the vertical distance from the bottom of the item to the top as it would be primarily used or placed.)
    • Product Width: 27 inches (The out of box width of the item. Width is measured as the horizontal distance from one side of the item to the other as it would be primarily used or placed.)
    • Product Depth: 29 5/16 inches (The out of box depth of the item. Depth is measured as the distance from the front of the item to the back as it would be primarily used or placed.)
    • Height With Door Open: 58 1/10 inches (Measurement from the bottom of the product to its top, with lid fully open.)
    • Capacity: 4.5 cubic feet
    • High-Efficiency: true (Washers with this label feature technology meant to use less water. High Efficiency (HE) washers may also be larger in capacity. Using High Efficiency (HE) detergent in these washers is highly recommended as they are designed to be quick-dispersing and operate in low water conditions by producing less suds, requiring less detergent. Not using the recommended detergent can lead to additional rinse cycles and increased water usage.)
    • Steam Function: false (In washers, this feature may be employed before, during, or after the main wash cycle. Steam aids in stain removal, activating detergent, sanitizing, and softening wrinkles. In dryers, this feature can be used to remove wrinkles or quickly freshen clothing items.)
    • Washing Mechanism: Impeller (There are two washing mechanisms to choose from in today's washing machines: agitators or impellers. An agitator is a column located in the center of the washing tub. It may be finned or vaned, and works to clean clothes by rotating and rubbing against clothes to break down stains. An impeller is a low-profile cone at the bottom of the tub that uses fins, cones, or discs to create motion. This motion pushes clothes to rub against each other, versus against an agitator, to break down dirt.)

Q: What does the code UR mean

A: I just did a lot of research myself and could really not find much and then finally did after like 45 minutes so I'm answering this question a year late... It means "unbalanced and retrying" so it's going to retry by adding a lot more water.

Q: I was about to buy this washing machine but I've read a lot of complaints about it leaking all over the floor and some recall. How can I know whether this should be even on sale or not can anyone from Best Buy help me?

A: I purchased this machine from Best Buy in early June and it did leak from the bottom of the washer on the Deep Wash cycle but does not on other cycles. Being less that a month old, Best Buy did an exchange and installed the same make and model for me, but the new one also leaks on Deep Wash cycle. I reached out to Samsung via chat to ask if there was a recall on this model and they said there was no recall but I told them there should be since I have had two of the same model that leaked from the bottom on Deep Wash and can others comment of the same issue. The machine works well overall unless you use Deep Wash.

Q: Does the washer determine the load size (large, medium, small) based on weight, or do I have to select it?

A: It is supposed to do so, but it does not quite do a good job. The problem is when your load is light in weight but bulky, the water level will never be enough. Then you will see a lot of areas of your clothes above the water level and it takes a long time for those areas to get submerged. Small items like socks, hand towels and T shirts are OK. Large items like a bed sheet never get fully submerged if air is captured, making a bubble. I did a lot of experiment trying to see how I could best use this machine. I liked Deep Wash best, but it leaked during the wash. After the machine does the first cycle of wash for 7-10 minutes, it starts spinning gently (probably to level the load?). While the machine is doing if you hear chap chap sound, the soapy water leaks from the bottom of the machine. If you don't hear the chap chap sound, you are fine without a leak. I tried Deep Wash many times, but the leak was random and never consistent. When The first Geek Squad came over, he could not reproduce any leak and he left without any work. The 2nd Geek Squad came, she saw a leak and determined it was not worth fixing (as it was a brand new machine). I highly recommend you use Deep Wash many times to ensure the washer does not leak from the bottom. I had 2 Samsung washers of the same model, and both had the same leak pattern. No more Samsung.

Q: Will this machine do heavy duty such as king size quilts/bed comforters & very delicates??

A: Yes I have washed my California king comforter and they did a awesome job

Q: Can you select a load size? What if I only want to use a little water?

A: No, you can't. It senses the amount of water needed automatically.

Q: Do you have to use HE washing liquid OR can you use regular washing liquid?

A: We use normal liquid and it works great. The washer does exactly what it's supposed to do and we like them Much better than our last set, which were the top of the line front loaders by LG. They were horrible and the front load washer was a pain in the butt.

Q: Does the drain hose come with the washer? Do I need to purchase separately?

A: Yes it comes with a drain hose but wont include the hot and cold supply lines
