  • Key Specs
    • Color Finish: White
    • Product Height: 44 11/16 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 9/16 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 7/16 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.)

    • Capacity: 5.2 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: Is this one of the washers that caught fire and was recalled? I am reading the reviews and they look to be old reviews. This product says new. I don't want to buy a washer that caught fire and need clarfication.

A: The recall was just Samsung sending an email to those who bought a specific Serial Number of this item telling them to update their device software. This issue was fixed by updating the software on your washer, Samsung did it automatically if you were connected to Wi-Fi. If not, then you could go in the app and it would show you how to update. I bought mine August 2022 and I have not had an issue at all. (There's also 6 people in my household so this gets used a lot, still no issues)

Q: Do you have to connect with wi-fi to use the machine?

A: No. Ive had mine for 6 mos and works fine - and did not even realize it can be connected to WiFi. Just a heads up that this model currently has a recall for overheating.

Q: does it have a soak cycle ? can i soak over night ?

A: There is a presoak button to select with cycles. Also, its a Smart washing machine so you can make your own cycles and download to machine. You could also just start the cycle and then pause it where you like.

Q: I have mislaid my instructions, I need to set my machine to self clean do I need to add detergent?

A: Go online to Samsung for information. The washing machine is a "Smart Thing" scan the QR code on the front of your machine.

Q: Please explain how one can hand wash with this machine? What setting is used? How much manual labor is involved?

A: Hi there, Good thing you asked for the setting for hand wash fabrics on this washer. This washer has a delicate cycle for sheer fabrics, bras, lingerie (silk), and other handwash-only fabrics. There is no manual labor involved. Just use liquid detergents for the best performance. Have a great day. Melardo

Q: Does this unit come with a filter that needs to be cleaned regularly (like on front-loading units)?

A: Hi RBurnham, No, unlike the front-load washing machines of Samsung, top-load washing machines do not have a pump filter that needs to be cleaned regularly. Leo

Q: Can this washer be used without installing the steam function?

A: This washer doesn't have a steam function. The matching dryer has the steam sanitize function but, you can use the dryer without installing the steam kit

Q: what is the total height with the lid up?

A: Greetings! Thanks for your question about the height dimension when the lid is open of this Samsung washing machine model. The height with the lid open is 58.3 inches. Leo
