Clothes come out cleaner, smell better, (HE detergent) and washes large loads. The high speed spin cycle removes allot more water than our old top load washer, saving energy dollars on the dryer. The spin cycle auto corrects load imbalance, and virtually eliminates vibration - no more freight trains running through the laundry room! Great washer, highly recommend!
(Be sure to level the washer)

I had been researching a new washer/dryer for several months and had narrowed my choices. I was looking at the base models (white) since the price was right and wasn't sure if I could justify the higher priced ones (platinum). After asking more questions I am glad I purchased the platinum versions as there are more options to chose from and the platinum looks very really nice in the laundry room. I also purchased the drawers and am glad for all the extra space. The units sit high enough now to be accessible and also with the drawers it makes it much easier to clean the washer (just put a bucket underneath). I think if the unit sat direct on the floor you wouldn't be able to get a bucket under to collect the water. I am glad I spent the extra $ to get the higher options. Also, I was skeptical about washing a comforter; but it actually does. I have also been able to wash our pillows and since the spinner cycle works so well, they are practically dry when they come out of the washer. And since you can wash so much more with each load we only have 3-4 loads a week now (we are a small family). It also has an active wear cycle; my husband works outdoors so, his clothes are sometimes smelly; this cycle makes the clothes smell fresh again. Also, a great feature is the delay cycle. I can get the washer all ready and set the timer to start at a later time. I highly recommend getting the platinum versions if you want all the options.

I was nervous about spending this much money on a washer, but after using this washer for more than 1 month, I LOVE it! The spin cycle dries my clothes so well and my clothes are actually clean. I didn't realize how badly my old washer worked/ didn't work. My eczema has also slowly disappeared because the soap residue is also getting washed off my clothes. There are way more functions and cycles than I really need, but I love that I still have those options available .

I love my Samsung washer, it cleans my clothes wonderfully and the spin cycle is so good that my clothes are practically dry by the time it’s done.
The only issue I had is where the detergent/softener/bleach goes…when it rinses the detergent out, some water stays in the reservoir so I have to let it air dry when I’m done with it. With all my front loaders I’ve had to do this before because you don’t want any chance of mold or mildew. I also leave the door open when I’m finished using it to let it air dry so I doesn’t start smelling.
I’ve had this washer for three weeks and so far it’s the greatest one I’ve owned. Love it!

Very happy with this purchase. Takes laundry day to the next step with advanced features and efficient cleaning. Steam feature helps remove dirt and the many cycle variations offer great options for a particular tripe of cleaning. From small, gentle, delicate with a soft spin, to the bedding plus which can handle a large down comforter. Love this machine.

I love my washing machine!
When our five year old Whirlpool Duet died on Christmas Day, we called out a service person, who told us that it would be $550 to replace the board. We had already looked at Best Buy and learned that we could get a replacement Duet for $650, so that was our intention. However, as I explored more, I found that I could get this Samsung washing machine (far superior to the Whirlpool one) for $563 (including tax and delivery) because it had two small dents. Yea!
When the washing machine was delivered, it was set up very professionally (not only did they set up my new washing machine, he switched the side with the dryer so that it was easier to go from washer to dryer without the doors in the middle). The manual was online, so after playing a little, we looked online to see the best way to use the washing machine. It is very quiet, very easy to use and works really well. We are still learning what all the cycles do, but have not had any problems.
I would definitely recommend this washing machine!

I am so so happy with this machine. I can fit 3x the amount if clothes and they come out squeaky clean. Tons of features and can even wash wool. What's not to like?
A:AnswerI'm sorry to hear you've had difficulty finding the information you're looking for. The target temperature ranges for the WF405 are 105°-125°F for Hot, 85°-105°F for Warm, 66°F for Eco Warm, and 60°-85°F for Cold (this information has been updated as of January ’13). The standard rinse temperature for all cycles is cold.
It isn't unusual for the washer to draw both hot and cold water during the fill process as it measures the temperature, particularly when warm or cold is selected. I would suggest reviewing the information on page 36 of the User Manual in the Troubleshooting section entitled "Fills with the wrong temperature water" for tips to help address this. If you've selected Hot water and cold water is entering the machine, it's possible the hoses are switched or the water in your hot water pipe is cold from lack of use. Try running a nearby hot water faucet to flush the lines before starting a wash cycle.
If you continue to have cold water entering the washer when Hot is selected after checking the troubleshooting tips, please call 888-BEST BUY or 800-SAMSUNG to speak with an agent who will be happy to assist you further.

A:AnswerThe most common cause of a Samsung front load washer, including the WF405ATPASU, shaking is not being leveled properly. Before returning the washer, please review the installation procedures which can be found in the user manual and in the Support section of Samsung's website. These include:
- making sure the shipping bolts are removed;
- adjusting the legs so the washer is level front to back and side to side;
- tightening the locks on the leveling legs so they don't change position over time.
Once leveled, the washer should not be able to "wobble" when you apply pressure to any of the four corners. Try running a test cycle without anything inside. It's normal for there to be a small amount of vibration during the initial spin phase, but the Vibration Reduction Technology should take effect as the spin speed increases from medium to high and the vibration should virtually disappear. If it does not, the legs may need to be further adjusted.
If these suggestions, aided by the troubleshooting videos and how-to articles on Samsung's website, don't help to resolve the issue, please call 888-BEST BUY or 800-SAMSUNG to speak with an agent who will be happy to assist you further.
Thank you,
Ms. Samsung
A:AnswerYes. We bought this washing machine over Christmas and the delivery guy not only did a great job installing it, he even moved the dryer over so that it was easier to move a load from the washing machine to the dryer. They have installed two of my washing machines and always do a great job. Very efficient and professional.
A:AnswerThe current line-up of Samsung front load washers and matching dryers are stackable using the SK-5A stacking kit accessory to secure the dryer on top of the washer. The top load models are not stackable.
Thanks for your interest!
Ms. Samsung
A:AnswerThanks for the question. The Power Foam feature in your WF405 washer helps to dissolve the detergent quickly so it penetrates fabrics much faster and more thoroughly than traditional methods. Because of this, it's likely that the foam is being absorbed as it comes in contact with the garments. In addition, the drums in Samsung front load washers tilt toward the back, so there is likely somewhat more water in the washer than you realize. These factors, combined with the fact that high efficiency washers are designed to use less water than traditional top loaders and the recommended HE detergents are designed to produce less suds, mean that it's normal for excess suds and water to be virtually invisible.
- Ms. Samsung
A:AnswerThanks for the question. The actual depth of the WF405 washer is 32-1/4" (rounded to 32.3" in the manual) regardless of the color. The 34" measurement may be referring to the required depth when installing the unit on a pedestal.
- Ms. Samsung
A:AnswerThanks for the question. Samsung’s new SpeedSpray technology saves time by shortening wash times while still keeping all portions of the washing process and getting your clothes clean. SpeedSpray is activated in Normal, Bedding PLUS, Deep Steam, Stain Away and Eco Cold cycles. Both the WF405 and WF511 offer the Extra Rinse option, and both VRT and VRT Plus are very effective in reducing noise and vibration, including upstairs.
