Features
4.2 cu. ft. capacity
There are 9 wash cycles, 4 spin speeds, and 4 temperature settings to choose from. Use the digital LED controls and indicators to set up and check the status of each load.
Steam Wash
Get a deeper clean. The washer releases steam from the bottom of the laundry tub, not the top like other washers, to fully saturate each item so nothing needs to be pre-treated.
Sanitize and Allergen cycles
Breathe easier. These cycles remove nearly all bacteria, pet dander, dust mites, and other allergens from each load of laundry.
VRT™ technology
Keep your house quiet. This patented technology all but eliminates machine noise by keeping even the heaviest loads balanced properly.
Self Clean+ technology
The washer tub frees itself of dirt and bacteria without using harsh chemicals to get the job done. Plus, you’ll receive a convenient reminder to clean the tub every 40 wash cycles.
Diamond drum interior
Treat fabrics gently. The unique interior design reduces wear and tear, so your clothing looks newer for longer.
Smart Care app
This app will alert you if there’s a problem, then walk you through any actions needed to solve it. Download for iOS or Android smartphones.
Child lock
Keep kids safe. Turn the child lock on and the buttons won’t respond, so kids won’t be able to use the washer without you.

Good washer
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.We are happy with our choice of machine after a few weeks of use. This is our first front-loader, and replaces the four year old Samsung top-loader that was recalled. We have not tried the steam setting yet, so cannot say if it is a valuable feature. I refused to buy new hoses from the store because the ones they had were too restrictive. That is to say, the hole in the hose fitting was smaller than other makes of hose, which would restrict the flow of water to the machine and possibly cause malfunctions. I had read the customer reviews on the store hoses and was warned about the small openings in the hose fittings. The store manager agreed to waive the "no free installation unless you buy our hoses policy" once I explained their hoses were unsatisfactory. I bought new stainless steel braid-covered hoses elsewhere, which had larger openings in the fittings. I also used two new "Mini-Resters" to prevent water hammer when the machine valves operate. I replaced the OEM black rubber hose washers with silicone rubber washers. The plumbing connections are hidden behind the machine, so it is important to do everything possible to prevent leaks. When the machine was delivered, I found that new hoses were included with the machine, but they did not have the stainless steel braid covering, so I prefer to use the new hoses I bought. Another thing I did was to have the installers set the washer and base on four round hard plastic cups with foam rubber inserts on top. Those devices let one person easily and quickly slide the very heavy machine over the carpeted floor in case it is necessary to get access to the water fittings on the rear of the machine.

Excellent!
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The wife and I have been looking for and researching new washers for months. Time and again, all reviews kept pointing to the Samsung brand. After seeing that the Samsung was on sale for an almost too good to be true price at Best Buy, we went ahead and bought this washer along with the matching dryer and pedestals. After a couple months of using this washer, we couldn't be happier. We can literally wash two baskets of clothes at a time, and they always come out super clean. The washer for the most part is very quiet, with the only real noise coming from its ultra high speed spin cycle, which literally spins almost all of the water out of the clothes once they are washed. All in all, we couldn't be happier with this washer.

Perfect!
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Just what we were looking for. We wanted new machines but didn't want to spend a ton on every feature. This has the steam which is great for dealer cleaning and sanitizing. We replaced 12 year old washer/dryer and had no idea what we were missing. The towels are much fluffier and everything smells better. The towels in photo are a pile washed in new machine (left) versus old. We got the matching dryer as well, so far very happy.

Works flawless.
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Very user friendly, I had got an open box deal and have yet to need a manual. The dials and buttons are self explanatory easy to use. I recently washed a queen size comforter fit perfect and came out very clean.

Great product
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I am really pleased with my purchase, I love all the options I have on my new washer. I also love the fact that it is very quiet and energy saving if you choose to do your laundry with your own settings. Overmore, i suffer of allergies and this washer has an option to get rid of any allergens on your clothes, other than the steam option. Price it is worth every penny. I recommend this washer to anyone.

GREAT & Dependable
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.When we sold our last home the buyers wanted the washer and dryer so we left them only to purchase them again and we would do so a third time if required. Samsung is a well known name in our household as it is very reliable and consistent. And BestBuy is our go to store for anything we can purchase there!!!

Q: Questionhow long is a typical wash cycle?i'm coming from a very old top loader but ive heard the wash cycles can be quite long in these newer front loaders. any help is appreciated!
Asked by Anonymous.
- A:Answer The standard cycle is just over an hour. But if you use the 'quick wash' it's just about 30 minutes. We have found that the quick wash works great for your average load of wash. They come out clean and smelling great.

Q: QuestionSmall vs large load settings?I was washing a load last weekend and the drum had a lot of room left, I realized I could put a larger load in this than my last washer. Is there a setting for small vs large loads so that it puts in less water when doing a smaller load? I am not sure if it just automatically adjusts based on the weight of the clothces inside or if it is an actual setting.
Asked by Kyle.
- A:Answer The reason the machine rolls the drum around a few times before it starts to add water is because it's weighing the clothes. It fills based on the weight.,

Q: QuestionCan i use liquid detergent or do i have to use powder?
Asked by Anonymous.
- A:Answer You can use either one. But if you use powder the liquid tray insert needs to be removed. Also if you use Tide Pods, they get thrown right into the washer. There's also trays for softener or bleach.

Q: Questionwhy does washer not fill up more than initial fill amount on "normal" cycle?Under "rinse and spin" option the machine fills up to initial fill level and then "full" level as shown in trouble shooting section on Samsung website. Does not do this when selecting "normal" wash on dial (using same temp and spin options, normal soil level). Only fills up to initial level on normal wash - not enough water to clean clothes. Suspected this when washing first two loads - did not look like enough water in use. Then ran empty load under both of these load options - "rinse and spin" vs "normal" and noticed washer behaving differently, even for empty load. Why is this?
Asked by Help!.
- A:Answer Thanks for the question. It isn't unusual for the Washer to fill with different amounts of water when different cycles or options are selected, and the automatic weight sensor also helps determine how much water will be added. It's likely that the conditions you're trying to imitate with the different settings will behave differently with clothes in the Washer than with an empty drum. Also, in a Normal cycle, the initial fill is not representative of the amount of water used for the full wash. The nature of HE front loaders is to saturate the clothes in a mixture of soap and water and tumble them, but not to immerse them, and more water is added at different points in the cycle based on the selected options, soil level, and number of rinses needed. I hope this helps to answer you're question. If you find that there isn't enough water to saturate the clothes and they aren't coming clean, please make sure the hot and cold water valves are turned on all the way, the supply hoses are unkinked and there are no obstructions in the hoses or in the inlet hose screens on the back of the washer. If this doesn't help to resolve the issue, please contact Samsung directly through the online support form or by calling 800-SAMSUNG. - Ms. Samsung
