Q: Can you remove the built in sink? If yes, is it designed to be removed or do you have to take the top off to remove it? Thank you,

A: Yes the basin can be removed in about 2 minutes. Open the lid with the basin attached At the bottom of the basin there are 2 gray clips that need to be slid inwards to the center of the washer. You will need to push in on the clip and slide it inwards. Once they are all the way inwards they might fall out Keep them if you wish to install the basin again. The right side will come out easy but the left side you might have to wiggle to get out. I was almost at the point of cutting the basin off when I just happened to see the clips Good luck to anyone this may help

Q: Why is this washer model being sold by Best Buy again? Is it an improved version? I own this washer model and it was recalled by Samsung.

A: As you know, Samsung recalled around 3 millions washer which were made and sold between 2011 until October 2016. This particular model is one of them and according to samsung and later on by bestbuy team, not only this one but any of the Samsung washers available to purchase now are not recalled even though it is the same model. they have corrected the problem and so they all are free from recall. this models have same functions as their recalled counter part except these units will not EXPLODE like others did. samsung is offering mail in rebate for customers who chose to exchange washer instead of getting it repaired and this unit will complete your laundry pair if you chose to get it exchanged instead of getting repaired, because more than likely you and most of us would have purchased matching dryer with it too. hope this helps

Q: I would like to know about the time to wash clothes.. I have one but in a different brand and it takes 2 hours to wash

A: There are 12 different cycles but the longest wash is 1 hour15 minutes on normal. Quick wash is 35 min. Matching dryer times approximately the same.

Q: Is this manufactured after the Samsung recall? I have this model, and my machine's serial number is being recalled. I would like to purchase the same one, if the problem has been fixed, to match the dryer.

A: I am in the same boat! called the samsung recall line and gave them this model number (ends in AA vs A2). they said it was not under the recall. I ordered. Will be delivered in ~2 weeks. fingers crossed!!!!

Q: Can you add additional water to the cycles with this machine? My recalled samsung you could not and my clothes never got clean.

A: My problem is that the Busch Beer Brewery takes the water. I simply fill the hand wash in sink feature with water and dump this into the machine. I fill up the sink three times. If you put too much water into the machine it will pump it out.
