  • Key Specs
    • Color Finish: White
    • Product Height: 44 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: 59 1/4 inches (Measurement from the bottom of the product to its top, with lid fully open.)
    • Capacity: 4.4 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: Agitator (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.)
    • Agitator Type: Dual-action (A single-action agitator typically rotates one way to circulate clothes throughout the washer. A dual-action agitator has two parts that rotate differently; the top rotates to push clothes down toward the bottom of the tub while the bottom continues to move clothes in a circular motion. Triple-action agitators work similarly, but add a third up-and-down motion to the dual rotation.)

Q: More of a question for Samsung.Have you put in Parts under agitator that dont rust anymore.And Front loader Spider brackets that just disintegrate behind drum.You-tube videos show of this w/customers fixing themselves.This is One reason I'm hesitant buyin

A: I've seen Samsung answer a few questions but they skip this one right by that should tell you the answer. Go on YouTube and check out the videos. Samsung I would suggest not skimping on these parts when they start rusting that gets into your clothes also the spider bracket disintegrating when I saw it on YouTube was unreal everything looks pretty but behind the scenes it's not.

Q: The Best Buy web page on this washing machine says High Eff. / low water. Is this really a washing machine with impeller machinery and gimmick agitator?

A: Thanks so much for asking, Rexx! Many users prefer the use of an agitator in their washer instead of the impeller technology. Because of this, we now offer models such as this one that have a standard agitator. These washers still use our High Efficiency technology, and therefore will still require the use of HE detergent. ^Jecca

Q: Can you fit a comforter in this size machine to wash? also is the detergent dispenser on top or in the inside? Thank You

A: Yes. You can fit a single comforter inside and the soap dispenser is inside as well. Make sure you load the soap, clorox and fabric softener before you set the wash cycle because the lid locks you out.

Q: Does this washer allow for a soak cycle? Meaning in older washing machines you used to be able to leave the lid open and the basin would fill but not spin or “wash” until the lid was closed again.

A: Thanks so much for asking, Sage! On this model washer, you can press the "Start/Pause" button to pause the cycle and allow the clothes to soak. ^Jecca

Q: Do this washer allow you to add more water?

A: I'm so glad you asked, Tammy! This model does feature a "Water Level" option on the control panel. This feature allows you to select from "extra high", "high", "mid", and "low" water levels for each cycle. ^Jecca

Q: is the drain hose included? the specs say no but the usual manual says the drain hose is included and only needs fill hoses

A: I bought the Samsung WA44A3405AV and yes the drain hose did come with the washer. BUT no water hoses.

Q: Are you able to use powder detergent with this washer ?

A: Hi NRIOS! For the best cleaning results, use a high-efficiency detergent such as Tide HE, Wisk HE, Cheer HE or Gain HE*. High-efficiency detergents contain suds suppressors that reduce or eliminate suds. When fewer suds are produced, the load tumbles more efficiently and cleaning is maximized. (* Brand names are trademarks of their respective manufacturers.) WARNING For best results, use HE detergents only. Do not use regular detergent, organic detergent, natural detergent, or HE detergents with natural ingredients (such as vinegar, baking soda). ^Nic

Q: DO I NEED TO PURCHASE AN INSTALLATION KIT WITH THIS WASHER OR DOES EVERYTHING COME WITH IT?

A: You need to buy the installation kit as well. I think it was about $29.99 for the kit when I bought mine.

    Washes well, quiet, and great deal!

    This was my first brand new washer (and the accompany dryer as a set) I purchased back in May 2023. I did my research, read reviews, and ended up buying the washer (and dryer) on sale for what I felt was an amazing deal! I was looking for something that fit within my budget, was easy to use, and would allow me to wash my clothes. They were delivered exactly on time. I didn't realize how much could fit within the drum! It's just me at home, so it's quite big. However, I love that I can wash blankets, comforters, and pillows easily! I have dogs, and can wash all of their items in one load. There are a variety of settings to fit your needs, but one that I would have liked to see if an efficiency or quick wash type of setting, as the minimum time to wash is about 38 or 40 minutes I believe. My old washer from the had a 30 min. automatic sensor wash cycle that was economical, as it tailored the water to the load, and was great for smaller loads. Still, I've had no problem washing my clothes, both detergent and the pods work well, and my clothes come out clean. I think this is great for families, as the drum is big in my opinion. When the cycle ends, it plays music, which I love because I know it's done. One thing to be mindful off is when washing towels, blankets, pillows, etc.: make sure to balance the stuff inside the drum. I had issues with a few blankets that got stuck to the side and I had to run the cycle a few times because it just stopped. It happened twice but never again afterwards.

    I have no complaints. The black washer i purchased looks sexy and works great. I paid for the best buy delivery and they installed it for free. It plays a cute song when it's done. All my clothes have come out insanely clean. It's also super quiet during its cycle and it remembers my wash preference.

    Samsung Washer and Dryer set

    I love this washer and dryer set! The deep, wide washer allows for larger loads of clothing to be washed evenly and thoroughly. With the agitator, I’m able to wash a lot of my towels and linens together with no loud noises or interruptions. The agitator really gets the job done with no wear or tear to your clothes/linens. The W&D are both easy to use. The dryer is so quiet. I love the different settings. It has four different water temperature settings, four water levels and smartcare/eco settings. The nice tune it plays when your clothes are done washing and/or drying is so pleasant. I love this set!
