Q: If this unit is placed against the wall on the left side so the door only opens 90 degrees does the glass on the door restrict access to remove the laundry?

A: I have a lot of space and if I need I can open all the door to take out my laundry but I just only opened on 90 degrees and doesn't get any problem at all. This machine is the best!!

Q: THE APP IS IT COMPATIBLE WITH IPHONES ?

A: Thanks so much for asking! The SmartThings app is available on both Android and iOS devices. ^Jecca

Q: I am upgrading from my Samsung 4.2 front load washer to this model and I have my 4.2 on drawers . Will the new washer fit on the same drawers or am I stuck having to purchase another set of drawers?

A: I'm so glad you asked, Dogmom! This washer is listed as being compatible with the pedestal model WE402NV, and the riser model WE272NV. ^Jecca

Q: Can you 'switch off' the detergent auto dispense system? Love the feature but would like the option to switch to baby detergent every once in a while to avoid harsh chemicals and fragrance for the baby stuff...

A: Yes you can turn that feature off, we don't use it. we place pods inside with the cloths. it is easy to change the setting on this either way you like.

Q: Is this model available in white?

A: The 8800 model is only available in black.

Q: I have a 4 year old top load Samsung I'm replacing. It has issues with sweater loads in the winter, and takes forever to balance the spin cycle. Sometimes I have to open it and maneuver things myself. Does this do better with heavy loads keeping balance?

A: My last washer was a LG top load and was complete total crap as far as going unbalanced all the time. Would even give be unbalanced with nothing but water in it. Plus, the "CLEAN" cycle lost it's memory of what to do. We have had no problems with unbalance, or anything yet with this washer. Have had it over a month, so remains to be seen, but loving it so far.

Q: Does it take liquid detergent only, or can we use powder as well?

A: I'm so glad you asked, bkeepr! You can use either liquid or powder detergent in this washer, but there are a few things to note first. This model offers an "Auto Detergent Compartment" that holds enough detergent for several loads. This compartment can only use liquid detergent. If you wish to use powder detergent you will need to use the "Manual Detergent Compartment" and remove the liquid detergent container first. You can find instructions on how to use both of these options on page 31 of the user manual (https://bit.ly/2WZvgXm). ^Jecca

Q: If you stack this washer with the matching electric dryer, how tall are they together? Is it just the sum of the two or does the stacking kit add any extra space? Does the stacking kit make the set any wider?

A: Hi MargoW, Thank you for reaching out and we hope you are in good health. We are happy that you are interested in Samsung home appliances. Height of the washer is 38 3/4". The matching dryers (DVE50A8800V, DVG50A8800V), have the same height. 38 3/4". The stacking kit only adds like a 1/2" at best to the height. In all, it is basically replacing the feet on the dryer with the kit to allow the dryer to slide back to brackets and sit on top of the washer with a nice curve of the spacers so it doesn't fall off the washer.
