This is a review of my Samsung top load, model WA49B5205AW washing machine purchased October 21, 2022. I had no knowledge this model had previously been recalled by Samsung along with several other models because of a potential fire hazard. On December 8, 2024 a 9C8 error code appeared in my washer at which point it stopped working. I contacted Samsung Customer Care on December 9. After a couple of attempt to reset the washer, I was informed via our chat via text message that I would receive a 2-prong dongle free of charge within 7 business days which would clear the error. Since 12/9/24 I have contacted Samsung Customer Care every 2-3 weeks informing them that in spite of each rep's assurances that the dongle would be mailed to me, I have not received one.
I have been getting the run-around, blatantly lied to and dismissed. It is impossible to speak to a Samsung representative over the phone. Each attempt to communicate by phone has resulted in 6 text communications. Customer service is non-existent. No one has bothered to check on why I have not received the dongle which would resolve the problem with my washing machine. It's like ALL the service reps have been cloned. They all give the identical responses to my inquiries and then do nothing. Worst customer service ever. They are worth less than 1*.

This washer is the absolute worst! Electrical errors started within a month of purchase, after 4 months a horrible smell. At 6 months and after extensive cleaning large chunks of brown "goo" started destroying our clothing and is left all over clothes after every wash. No agitator means no real clean. We bought it thinking it's water saving tech would be our little way of helping conserve our most precious resource. Instead this washer tangles, stretches, and the leaves clothing feeling nasty. The Samsung Active Water jet washer should never be sold.

Three and a half years ago we purchased a Samsung WA50R5200AW top loading washing machine for about $850 in large part due to misleading Consumer Reports or J D Power ad on the machine. We thought we were buying a machine that would last for many years more than the 3 1/2 years we got. Our past two machines lasted on average 15 years before we replaced them and one of them was used when we got it. The machine shakes violently even after replacing the suspension rods and it seems Samsung has no answers. When I called Samsung and gave them my model and asked if there was a recall, the associate put me on hold while they checked and about 30 seconds later hung up on me.

Recently purchased Samsung washer & Dryer. Washer has a mind of its own, I have had door locked for 4 hours. A quick wash takes 2 hours. Set the dryer & temperature for 1 hour. 5 mins later it stops, up every 5 mins. I am not a stupid person but this set is getting the better of me. I want it returned.

Several years ago, my wife and I shopped for a new washer and dryer. She had seen ads for Samsung front loader washing machines. My wife believes what she sees in ads. We bought a Samsung front loader washer and dryer, Shortly after we bought them, the rubber boot behind the washer's door was covered with black mold. The washer was under warranty and Samsung replaced the boot with a new one which was supposedly mold proof. Shortly after the warranty expired, mold began growing on the boot again. That was about 3 years ago, Now the boot has cracked and water leaks when the washer is used. The part (boot) costs about $250. As the machine needs to be essentially completely disassembled to replace the boot, I was given a labor estimate of $300 to $400. So at the age of 74, I am shopping for a new washer and dryer. They will not be Samsung nor will the washer be a front loader.

Overall this washer didn’t last but 3...4 years. Knowing washers usually have a lifespan of 10 years… at least the old models did… Insane how much time and MONEY has been wasted with this washer. We have been wondering why our water bill is OUTRAGEOUS, and I mentioned to my husband that our washer hasn’t been running properly. So we did a diagnostic, it threw a 3C1 code so we bought a motor… The wrong one because my model number gives you a few options and we chose the wrong one… So wasted shipping cost and a restock fee to return and then purchase the correct one. Install it just to run the diagnostic again. Throwing the same code.
This motor is over 200 and we bought two without resolving the actual issue. At this point there is no point doing anything more to this washer other than trash it, returning the motors, or scrap it… and purchase a totally different brand because Samsung is a joke! This review was gonna be just about the washer but we have the freaking dryer too… You have no idea how many heating elements have been changed the purchase of this machine!!! I would highly recommend anyone and everyone not to waste their time or hard-earned money on these paperweights!!!

Bought my Samsung washer & dryer from home Depot, was suppose to be delivered on Dec 9th. Didn't get them until 17th. Then the pedestals came one at a time, one on the 20th and one on the 24th. Had them installed. Used a couple times and I had to call for repair. My washer won't finish the cycle it's on. Had to wait 2 weeks to get a repairman who says nothing is wrong with them, tells me to be only wash 3 shirts at a time. These washers can't take a full load. Omg what have I bought? And now I'm gonna have to wait for someone else to come out. So disappointed in Samsung products...

If I could give this a zero I would. I have model WA50R5200AW and it’s absolute garbage. I have 5 kids so I decided to buy something efficient. I was way off. I can literally put 3 shirts in and it will be unbalanced and need to restart. One load of laundry takes about 6 hours after multiple recalibrations and restarts. This machine should be recalled like their other ones. Save your sanity and don’t waste your money.

My new Samsung washer/dryer combo is completely unsatisfactory. The washer stinks. I have to disassemble the detergent drawer completely, separating it into 3 pieces, and dry thoroughly all pieces and inside the drawer each time the washer is used. As well, the rubber seal has to be dried very thoroughly as does the door. All of this, each time it is used. About once a month, I have to disassemble the drain pipe and the filter and clean and dry thoroughly. Also, I have to run the nearly 4-hour clean cycle about once a week and pour copious amounts of soda, vinegar, and bleach through the system. All of this cuts down on the odor but does not banish it entirely. The washer stinks. The cycles are extremely long and the last two spin cycles sound like a freight train coming through the house. The dryer is ridiculous so don't even get me started. I will NEVER EVER buy another Samsung product.

Absolutely junk. You can't get this thing to spin anything without going into a UR stop code. I will never ever buy another Samsung product again and I advise against anyone wasting any money on these things that are very expensive. I wish I had just kept my 15 year old Maytag washer. At least I could wash my clothes. This thing cost me so much time and effort. I have been going to the laundromat. As I said after trying to get some support from Samsung I will never buy another Samsung product again! I feel completely ripped off. How can this design be okay to sell.

I have had a horrific experience with the purchase of a dryer from the Samsung website recently. After being on the phone with Samsung and their installers (RXO) for numerous hours without any resolutions or follow up from either of them on my faulty Dryer installation I have decided to return the product and to never again shop with them. I wish they would understand how difficult it is to be without a functioning washer or a dryer for more than 3 weeks and provide the basic customer service that one would expect from a big organization like theirs.

Worked fine until getting close to end of warranty and it started not discharging all the water. Samsung sent a repair person 3 times. 1) Adjusted the depth of the draining hose and left. 2) Looked at test mode for 2 minutes and left telling me it was fine. 3) Ran machine through 45 seconds of a cycle twice and left saying it was fine. Every few loads there is still 6 inches of water in the bottom that stinks. Samsung calls this fine???? I need to send my kid to school in stinky clothes because they won't do anything????

I have had a Samsung 2022 Front-Load machine for only 2 years and it has already given out on me. The drum has become unbalanced after just two years of use. I am currently also fighting the machine to try and unlock the door. Even though the cycle had finished - it will not unlock the door and I have clothes inside. I’ve tried everything to open it, I am most likely going to have to pry it open and break it. For as expensive as this machine was, I expected to last 5-10 years. When it did “work” it would take multiple cycles to get something actually clean. Do not buy Samsung products, especially their washing machines.

Top load active water jet with a huge tub, but can only handle very small loads. A normal load can take over 2 hours to complete. Anything “heavy” (jeans) are almost impossible to get to spin. A load with a pair of jeans and a sweatshirt took well over 3 hours and I had to separate items to get it to spin

Avoid Samsung appliances, I purchased a refrigerator, and washer and dryer. The only one that hasn't given any issues is the dryer. The washer is the worst. A week after the warranty expired, we started having issues with loads becoming off balanced. I am tend to distribute evenly accounting for weight and water retention of items. Doesn't matter. I have to keep the load to under 3 pounds in order for it to ot go off balance. If you aren't home and it goes off balance, it takes it back to the rinse cycle, regardless of what point in the cycle it's at. Even the final spin. Samsung makes great phones and TVs, but appliances are horrible. Just an added point, I have received the same feedback from a bunch of people.

We have a Samsung dryer that has been leaking gas making the several areas of the house smell like natural gas. This was making the kids and my wife and I sick. We called the gas company and they checked our system but there was not leaks. We check the dryer with a gas meter and there was a leak. We contacted Samsung and they have been giving us the runaround. They sent a repair company which found the igniter defective and leaks gas. The techs were on the phone when doing some repairs or testing when a fire broke out in the dryer. It did small damage to our flooring and the entire dryer and laundry close smells like a dumpster fire and ashes.
We have contacted Samsung repeatedly but they have ignored us. We have been without the ability to do laundry for over a week. They are unprofessional and don’t help. We will file a complaint with the Consumer Product Safety Commission since we read online others having similar problems. We have contacted Samsung customer service but they have not been helpful.

Worst experience ever. Within 2 months had to do a warranty claim on the washer for the drum being so loose that it sounded like the washer was going to explode. Got the replacement it's just as bad. Go to do a warranty claim again considering we really love Samsung products, but nothing... no help getting it fixed just a big OUT OF WARRANTY. Very Disappointing. So I do not advise this product. Samsung phone YES! BUT SAMSUNG just will not be my first choice of household appliance.

We bought a Samsung top loader 3.5 years ago and we have been having problems with the washing machine going off balance. It got to a point where we couldn’t even wash small loads. The machine would be at its final spin, go off balance and start a rinse cycle. It would do this over and over again. We called Samsung and they made us do basic resets and said they couldn’t do anything else. We read online people are drilling holes on the top of the basket to release water to help balance. We decided to give it a try before buying a new washer. So far we have done four loads of laundry and no off balance. Samsung should recall wash machines and fix this problem!!!! You shouldn’t have to drill holes to fix a washer!!!

I have had my front loading washing machine for just under two years and have had no complaints until it stopped draining about a week ago and flashed the 5C code. I acted according to the manual and checked the drain pump filter which was not the issue. I blew air through the drain pipe and it was not clogged, everything is set to regulation height and no kinks in tubes, etc. I had to manually drain the machine after each attempt and run it again to see if that solved the problem. After the third attempt I smelled a hot/burning smell from the drain pump area and shut it off and unplugged it.
I called Samsung customer service with low hopes since the 1 year manufacturer warranty had expired. The nice representative informed me that because I bought the machine in Maine, I had a 4 year warranty. I was thrilled! I needed some good news. He connected me to specialty claims and I sent in some pics of the machine via text, all went smoothly. Fast forward to me having spent over 247 minutes on the phone with at least 14 representatives. It has been nothing but smoke and mirrors and me having to repeat the same information ad nauseam. They told me the one year warranty had expired, I asked why did the first guy tell me that it was protected by a 4 year Maine warranty. They repeat that the one year warranty expired and I ask why did this guy tell me 4 years and round and round.
They closed the ticket, I googled the law and sure enough, Maine has what is known as an implied warranty of merchantability which basically protects consumers from a broken appliance that breaks down before it should reasonably do so (like within the first two years). I had to have them reopen a ticket and they just keep connecting me to different people, asking the same questions, telling me now I need to send this or that picture and now I have to wait another 24-48 hours for the next person to look at the case. One person will act like they are the savior and this won't keep happening and then the next person to call asks the same questions and tells me there is no documentation of the 11 times I have already answered these questions and they will document it, we are so sorry blah blah blah.
This is a clearly well thought out system to discourage consumers from following through with complaints and warranty issues. I have asked to speak to a supervisor every single time I speak with a representative and have been connected to a supervisor zero times. I will never buy Samsung again, if only to preserve what is left of my sanity. Just unreal.

Model: WV60M9900AV/A5, purchased unit new from Costco in 2021, I believe. After approximately 4 years of use, the rear bearing went out and the only solution per Samsung is to completely replace the rear tub and spin basket. Parts cost is $805 and the labor was quoted at $815 for a total bill of $1620. While I realize that the machine had only a 1-year warranty, I can't fathom how Samsung has such little regard for their customers. I have made the decision to get a real washing machine, but haven't decided if it will be a Miele or a Speed Queen. Both of them carry 5-year warranties. From what I can see in reviews, both of these brands are built to last, obviously unlike my Samsung. Very dissatisfied with Samsung products, with the exception of my phone, which has been great for 3+ years.

Purchased a Samsung washer and dryer from Conn’s Furniture in Fayetteville, NC during their going out of business sale in September 2024. Cash only. A month later, the washer and dryer was put into operational, only to find out the washer doesn’t work. I called Samsung because, a new washer, it’s still under warranty, so I thought. Samsung informed me that the warranty on my “brand new washer” had expired after I gave the model number and serial number. One cannot imagine how I felt. Unfortunately, I misplaced my receipt. Trying to get in touch with customer service is the most difficult to get a duplicate receipt because that is the only way Samsung will assist. But how has the warranty on a brand new washer expired, but yet, how is a brand new washer not working? Conn's customer service please help. I’m a retired army vet living on a budget.

If could give it a zero I would. I have had my machine (smart Samsung top load washer) for exactly 3 years. Almost to the day of the 3-year mark my washer shocks went. Now I am an elderly women who probably do a wash 1 to 2 times a week at most. I find it very distressing that such an expensive washer has broken down.
Trying to get it fixed through an extended warranty at Lowes is a nightmare (that is a whole other story). I recommend that NO ONE buy this or any other Samsung washer. Very poor quality and only a 1-year warranty as they know the damn thing is going to break down. I have numerous other Samsung products and have not had an issue. PLEASE DO YOURSELF A FAVOR AND NEVER BUY A WASHER FROM SAMSUNG.

The washer is waste of your money, do not buy. My clothes do not get clean, had appliance man look at my machine to make sure it was nothing I was doing wrong. Man said, "Whomever designed this style with no agitators, your clothes are washing in your dirt and will never fully get my whites, white even with city water." My loads always get a piece of garment flipped over knob in bottom of tub and make a dirt circle of eternity that will never come out.
Now I personally never bought this type of washer, it came with the house, but it is going to the landfill next month. Never did I own a more Uless appliance. When I called customer service all I got was a young man reading from a pamphlet what to do, when I told him I had done all that, he goes, "It's your water, not your machine?" That is funny because with the neighbors their clothes come clean, and they laugh when I said what I owned. One of the neighbors said no wonder the last people left it. Side note only appliance left. You connect the dots. So customer service is not any good either and if they are reading this then answer this question, "Are you going to pay for a third of my work clothes?"

Don't waste your money. Samsung Washer and Dryer combos look nice and efficient however the washer DOES NOT cleAn clothes. I would also say that it makes them dingier. There's no friction to scrub the clothes during the wash. Instead the clothes are tumbled around. When I first used the washer and put in bright white and other bright colored clothing that all came out dingy! After multiple washes and various cycles which some run for over an hour - still not clean. I even scrubbed stains with detergent prior to putting clothing in and even after the washer still did not further clean the clothes.

Stay away from Samsung. I bought a brand new washer and dryer in July. We are now in October and I still don't have the issue resolved. We bought a smart washer and it's not spinning all the water out of the clothes and they've given me nothing but a hassle about getting a technician out. Also I did not receive an owner's manual with the washer but I did with the dryer. I was told they were sending one out, to wait 10 to 20 business days and here we are way past that window and still no manual. They said I had then have to download it online. I'm old school I don't do that crap online And why did they say they were going to mail me one and never did. They're now telling me we can't mail them out unless it's for Braille customers.
You spend a lot of money and then you can't get the help you need. If I could just look in my manual that I should have gotten maybe I could fix the problem. We had bought a Samsung television several years ago. Anytime I called about that I never had a problem. Their customer service has changed drastically within the last year. You can't just get the help you need anymore. I would not recommend Samsung products. They are not as good as they used to be and forget about or wait forever to get any help in fixing them.

If there is under one star I’ll add it instead.. I got the washer in September 2023. After couple of washes I found hair and stains all over my washed clothes .. I put some cycles only with detergent to clean it up.. I looked if there is a filter to clean but none.. Called Samsung customer service. They sent someone who checked the washer and said he never saw anything like this before and that he will put the report to escalate the matter .. We did not hear from him for 10 days .. Called again.. Customer service kept saying change the detergent and put it on clean cycle without clothes.. We changed the detergent from capsules to liquid to sheets in vain.. Same results .. We asked to replace it but here is when customer service disappears.. Till today we are stuck with a new washer that stains our clothes.. If you want stained clothes and waste of money please buy Samsung washer .. Thank you Samsung for disappointing us.

My washer is total piece of garbage. It regularly goes UB (unbalanced), restarts the rinse and spin over and over. I just spent $300 to get it fixed and it lasted about a week before doing the same thing. The dryer is also a piece of crap, the lint trap hardly catches lint, it just goes through the cracks and then you have to clean out the basin with a stick. Samsung is now crap, I won't buy any more of their electronics - there isn't enough room in my landfill.

We bought a Samsung Top Loader 5 years ago. We've had problems with the balance for quite a while. It doesn't matter if you have a small, med, or large load, it will come unbalanced. Then you have to redistribute the clothes over and over again and the timer will go back to 17 minutes. Piece of garbage. Worked ok for the first couple years and that was it.

Such a huge waste of money. After 4 yrs w this wash machine I still cry at the waste of water, the lousy ability to clean clothes, just horrible. The worst is constant draining all your water if you pause at the beginning to wet down and scrub a stain. When you start the machine, if you went over a minute or 2, the machine drains all your soapy water and starts all over. And the steel wash tub is covered in rust spots. Lid is always open to dry tub and still rusting away after 4 yrs. Garbage, Donating to charity and getting an old fashion wash machine.

The first washer started to violently shake just over a year old. Since it was out of warranty I decided to see if I could fix it. I pulled the top panel off and found the top weight has detached from the drum. 2 of the 4 bolts snapped off in half. I removed all the cheaply made bolts and replaced them with grade 8 bolts. I put an extra nylon washer on the end of the bolt after it passed through a cheap nut plate on the drum. I red loctitie everything and it lasted a couple years. Pulled it apart again and repeated the process. It started doing it again in late 2023.
I finally got a chance to look at it again. Same thing happened. However the hole that goes thought the weight had been hogged out. The plastic and the concrete around it was damaged. I called samsung and they refuse to do anything through warranty. I asked if they could send a weight under warranty, they refused everything. We are not happy with them. Our fridge's ice maker kept icing up and stopped working. Then stopped all together. They actually replaced the assembly under warranty. Probably because they have issues with them.

I purchased an expensive Samsung washing machine years ago and directly after my purchase I received a packet in the mail with an updated template for the wash cycles. Apparently one of the cycles could cause an implosion of internal parts that could send shrapnel flying. Though the company offered the services of a technician to come to my home and repair the product, I had just purchased it and was having some renovations done at home making repairs within the limited window inconvenient. I didn't use the cycle that caused the problem anyway. Though the washer is still lagging on with many other wear and tear issues it's questionable whether it will last much longer.
Several other people I know have had similar issues with Samsung washers and they have all sworn off this manufacturer. We have a Samsung washer at work and it has worked maybe 25% of the time we've had it (since 2020). Each time a repair is made, it runs a couple of weeks and something new breaks. The last repairman who came to service it told our director his suggestion was to not purchase a Samsung washer again. When even repairmen tell you the product is awful, that's a bad sign. After all, they are making money to repair broken appliances.

I had a technician come and the first time was told it was the computer panel which was not covered under warranty. The second time it was the motor. In theory, this would be covered by the warranty. However, I'm already out hundreds of dollars for diagnostics for a machine which makes a horrendous grinding noise, won't spin and is a complete mess.
The second technician said it was most likely both the machine and the wiring was too small and tight. Even if they cover the warranty, it could take hours more to fix at which point I have a faulty machine which has cost six hundred or more just for labour. My previous Maytag machine was 40 years and I never had an issue. This has only been used 60 times as I live alone and do laundry about once a week. Worst nightmare ever. My machine is a lemon. I'm buying a new one and have given up on the company. Avoid them.

After having good luck with Televisions and soundbars I tried appliances. They, specifically a washer and dryer, are junk. The dryer drum disintegrated in less than 4 years with single person use. Samsung does not stand behind the defect, the customer service department reads from a script and thinks I should buy another dryer from them. THE DRUM of the dryer is as thin as foil, my Maytag dryers lasted 20 years in 2 other homes. Buyer beware of Samsung appliances and their service department, it was like talking to a wall. No more Samsung anything for me.

Purchased washer that we are still paying on. It's gone through 2 recalls. Samsung covered repair, but gave no other choice as they can't be reached. I get shifted all over the place. The last recall The washer stopped working in the middle of a cycle on Christmas Eve. It ruined our plans and the local laundromat closed for the holidays. So we had to go into the next town to do our laundry on Christmas Eve and then a couple other times while it was down. We had to use money we didn't have to clean our clothes.
And, my husband had to take time off, so he could be there for repair guys to show us. As, he was told they'd only give a half-hour notice. We are not even done paying for this washer, and it's the second recall. I've tried contacting Samsung to reimburse wages loss but keep getting the runaround. I got an email after the repair saying it was a 1 time repair out of courtesy as if we caused the recall. Not our fault or from wear and tear. Was a malfunction on Samsung end and they won't make it right. I have the emails, screenshots of trying to use their chats, tried to call...

I bought a front load. It had to be replaced with my extended warranty which did not cover the cost. I still had to pay an additional 400 dollars. The replacement lasted six months. These machines are garbage. The sensor doesn't last long and the matching dryer just rolls your sheets in a ball and won't dry them.

Beware of Samsung!.. One of the most reputable appliance companies out there is not so reputable when it comes to customer satisfaction. During CyberMonday week I was almost at the point of making a purchase for their Bespoke Washer/Dryer combo - the latest version. In doing so I was not able to check out my purchase with a confirmed finance approval that I had. For some reason, the cart was not syncing up my finance approval line of credit. I escalated this to Samsung and they took more than 10 days to resolve this issue. By that time all of the promotions and credits were gone. You would think that Samsung would recognize that it was their fault that prevented me from making my purchase, and make do by providing me the same price/promotions as I previously had. NO NO NO..they refused to honor their own mistake, their own issue.
Instead, after several tries, they told me they could not honor it, so it's lost on my end for their fault. Some customer service. While they were reviewing the issue with my checkout, I kept reminding them every day of the importance of an urgent resolution, but it took more than 10 days, as a result, I am at a loss...thanks to Samsung. So beware of this company!!! Stay away!!

For the last 3-4 years I have owned a Samsung Washer and Dryer. Top loading washer and steam dryer...Spent a ridiculous amount of money on the set from Lowes - over $2K. It is by far the worst purchase I have ever made in my life and by far the worst purchase I ever made from Samsung. Since having these units, doing the laundry has been a nightmare. The top loader doesn't allow me to control water levels so most of the time the clothes do not get properly washed, nor can I soak clothing with a prewash; the agitation and spin tie your clothing into knots so when you pull them from the machine they are ridiculously wrinkled and hard to smooth out...and debris remains in the bottom of the machine so that it can attach to other loads of laundry. I rue the day I purchased these units!
The dryer is not any better. It also ties things up in knots and therefore does not dry the clothing. So that energy efficiency you are looking for....doesn't exist because you have to dry the clothing for HOURS. Samsung should be ashamed of themselves for selling these products and should have refunded every unit they sold where people were unhappy. Instead, they made the warranty on this so small and the service to fix ridiculously expensive. My problem now is that I have such a strong negative feeling about this purchase - I'm less interested in purchasing other items from them anymore...including my phone, laptops, TVs.
Looking at this website, two things come to mind. 1) Doesn't seem like they have Samsung Washer and Dryer as an option? Why? Did they stop selling them? and 2) The reviews that have been put up about their washers and dryers show 41% of individuals gave it a 1 star Rating...and this person concurs. If I could give 0 stars that would be my rating. I feel so strongly about this that every time I do my laundry...I am inclined to post another negative review on whichever site is providing reviews on these products so that other people do not end up in the same place as I.

I bought a Samsung top loading washing machine from Home Depot not quite 6 weeks ago. Each time I wash a load, an error code pops up, it starts making a racket like it’s about to completely break down, and the washing machine has to be reset on a different wash cycle. Even then, I have to keep an eye on it in case it glitches again. I’ve gone in several times thinking it was finished washing only to find it blinking and carrying on—completely stuck. It doesn’t matter what the load size or which cycle you set it on.
Another complaint is that a “short cycle” on this machine is 45 minutes; “normal” is 1 hour and 15 minutes. My other washing machine’s normal cycle was 45, while the short cycle was 19 minutes. This one obviously uses way more electricity than my previous one. It’s Junk. I’m very dissatisfied. I spent 600 dollars on it and did not get my money’s worth. I will be contacting the company, but, looking at these reviews, I doubt anything will be done to make things right. Wish I would have read reviews before I bought mine. At 600 it was the most I could afford. Unfortunately, I paid about 600 too much. I would not recommend this washing machine to anyone.

In May 2019, we purchased a Samsung washing machine (model # WA50R5400AV/US), which unfortunately broke down after three years of use in our Maryland house. Despite multiple attempts to reach out to Samsung for repair, they initially avoided responsibility. After filing BBB complaints, they agreed to cover the repair and labor costs. However, a customer service error led to a repair ticket being opened for a Florida address instead of our Maryland residence. Numerous calls and emails to rectify the situation went unanswered, causing three months of inconvenience, financial strain, and stress. Our tenants were left without a washing machine, and we incurred expenses for laundry services and the replacement of the machine.
The total costs of this ordeal include:
Unsuccessful repair expenses: $244.94 USDCost of a new washing machine: $882 USD
Estimated tenant's laundry expenses due to the delay: $700 USD
In total, we have faced financial damages amounting to $1,827 USD due to Samsung's irresponsibility and lack of proper customer support.

Purchased Samsung WA50R5400AV new from Lowe's. Just over 3 years of light use, there are only 2 of us living in our house, the machine became unusable due consistent and constant out of balance issues. The machine goes into a perpetual state of out of balance, regardless of load size and/or type of laundry, it then refills with water, increases the rinse/spin cycle time and repeats the rinse/spin cycle over and over again until human intervention is required to stop it. Upon extensive research this is a known issues with many dozens and dozens of homeowner reports of the same issues. Several authorized appliance repair companies have also stated that Samsung is aware of the chronic issue with these so called "High Efficiency" machines. Samsung support is useless, Samsung Customer service refuses to assist.
The only option is to pay for a diagnostic and then pay to repair or research and purchase the diagnosed parts and repair yourself. I performed weeks of research work, paid for professional diagnostics, purchased and replaced tension rods and main control board myself, spending to date $250. The Professional quote to repair was $650, for a machine value new of $750. Samsung customer care states that my only option is to pay for an authorized repair service, which as I said was quoted at $650. So, Samsung is saying, re-buy your 3 year old machine by paying nearly as much as you paid new or throw it away and replace it with a new machine. The latter is my decision, I am throwing away my 3 year old Samsung High Efficiency washing machine and replacing it with a competitor's model. My advise is to never purchase anything SAMSUNG.

I contacted Samsung and a tech came, performed a diagnostic which showed no malfunctions so the tech said it was a drain problem. Still didn't work. The second tech said it was unbalanced and put down a piece of folded cardboard under the corner of the washer, still didn't work. The third tech could not find anything wrong but the original problem still persisted.

Next, a fourth tech came out and he said it was the dampers and we paid 400+ dollars to have new dampers installed, washer still didn't work.

We shouldn’t have to wait an additional 8 days for a resolution that should have been done weeks ago. Their complaint process is a text you receive and they don’t help either. No one takes accountability to help the customer and resolve the concern. The last supervisor from the exchanges and return department refused to get me to their manager so I can submit a formal complaint about the process taking even longer when we’ve already been waiting an excessive amount of time and their excuse was that’s the process by the company and it wasn’t a good enough reason to talk to a manager.
