About Samsung Washers

Samsung washers offer a variety of features to make cleaning your clothes simple, fast and energy-efficient.

Samsung washers are available as 2-in-1, front-load and top-load models. The company offers several colors, including white, champagne-colored or fingerprint-resistant black stainless steel. Samsung washers are available online and at major retailers and home improvement stores, including Best Buy, Home Depot, Lowe’s and Sears.

Available features and functions include:

  • FlexWash
  • AddWash
  • activewash
  • Steam-washing technology
  • ENERGY STAR-certified
  • Wi-Fi connectivity
  • Vibration-reduction technology
  • Super speed

Each Samsung washing machine includes several settings for water temperature, cycle length, spin speed and soil levels. Some Samsung washers can be paired with Alexa or Google Assistant to let you control the appliance remotely.

To care for your Samsung washer, be sure to use the right detergent, avoid overloading the washer and move clean clothes from the washer as soon as the cycle is complete.

Samsung washing machine price

Samsung washers start at $600 and can cost up to $1,900. Front-load washers cost more than top-load washers, and adding certain features, such as Wi-Fi capability or vibration-reduction technology, increases the final cost of the appliance. Samsung has sales throughout the year and frequently offers free shipping on its products. Financing is available for qualified buyers.

Samsung Washers FAQ

How long do Samsung washing machines last?

With proper maintenance, a Samsung washing machine can last up to 15 years. Washing machines that are used more frequently than average, however, may not last as long as expected.

What Samsung washers have been recalled?

Samsung recalled 34 models of high-efficiency, top-loading washers sold between March 2011 and November 2016. You can view a full list of the affected models and what to do next on the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission’s website.

How long is the Samsung washing machine warranty?

Samsung includes a 24-month warranty on all washers. You can also purchase an extended warranty that covers the repair or replacement of your appliance for an additional one to five years.

How does Samsung front load washer work?

Front-load washers fill the bottom of the inner tub with water and use the side paddles and rotational spinning to lift the clothes in and out of the water, which removes dirt and stains from fabric. Many people prefer front-load washers, though they do tend to be heavier, noisier and more expensive.

Still have questions?

Are Samsung Washers good?

The features and functions of Samsung washers make the company a popular choice in the industry. With options to pretreat, steam and speed wash clothes, you can spend less time doing laundry. A limited number of Samsung washing machine models have been recalled, but overall, we recommend Samsung washers because they are energy-efficient, reliable and can last up to 15 years.

    I have been a loyal Samsung customer for many years, and almost all of my home appliances are Samsung. Unfortunately, my experience with this washing machine has completely changed my opinion of the company. From the day I purchased this washer, it made an extremely loud “airplane-like” noise during the spin cycle. Every single load of laundry made me anxious because I was convinced something was wrong with the machine. On top of that, I noticed gray dust and debris around the washer from the very beginning.

    While the machine was still under warranty, I contacted Samsung and a technician came to inspect it. I specifically pointed out both the excessive noise and the gray dust because I was worried they could indicate an internal problem. My concerns were dismissed, and I was told everything was normal. I trusted Samsung’s expertise and continued using the washer. Years later, the washer developed a scratching noise. I discovered a concrete-like fragment lodged in the door gasket that damaged the rubber seal. The scratching stopped only after I removed the fragment. Finding this, together with the gray debris I had been seeing since the machine was new, made me question whether the original issue should have been investigated more thoroughly.

    I contacted Samsung again, hoping they would review the fact that I had reported these concerns during the warranty period. Instead, I was told that because the warranty had expired, I would have to pay a $140 diagnostic fee before anyone would even inspect the machine. My request for Samsung to review my previous complaint was refused.

    What disappoints me the most is not just the washer itself—it’s how I was treated as a customer. I reported my concerns when the product was under warranty, trusted Samsung’s technician when I was told nothing was wrong, and now I am expected to pay to investigate the same long-standing concerns. This experience has left me feeling ignored and let down. I always believed Samsung stood behind its products and valued its customers. Sadly, that has not been my experience. After this, I will never purchase another Samsung appliance or recommend the brand to anyone else.

      I should of never bought this garbage. We have bought a washer in 2023 and now the bearing and the sensor is bad. Over $600 to repair. In 2025 we bought a dryer and the motor went bad within 7 months. The dryer motor was still under the 1 year warranty. Both are front loaders. Samsung needs to stick with phones and electronics. Have fridge also that had to be repaired after 2 years. Never again!

      ZERO STARS. I trusted Samsung and spent hard-earned money on what I thought was a quality washing machine. Instead, I’m dealing with constant issues and looking at costly repairs. Very disappointing for a machine that cost over $1,000. Consumers deserve better reliability and better support.

      Purchased a Samsung washer model WF45A6400AV/US believing I was buying a reliable appliance from a trusted company. Instead, this has been one of the worst customer service experiences I’ve ever dealt with. Since the very first month after purchase, I repeatedly contacted Samsung regarding ongoing issues with this washer. Every time I called, I was told the matter would be “escalated,” yet nothing was ever resolved.

      Now, years later, Samsung is claiming they have “no record” of my previous complaints, despite the fact that I contacted them multiple times since the beginning. After finally speaking with a supervisor, I was told the service fee would be waived because of the history and circumstances. Then today, I received a text saying I still have to pay a $140 service fee anyway.

      This entire situation feels deceptive, negligent, and completely disrespectful to loyal customers who spent hard-earned money expecting a quality product that should last. Instead of standing behind their product, Samsung keeps passing customers around, contradicting themselves, and trying to charge additional fees after wasting years of my time. Future customers should seriously think twice before purchasing Samsung appliances. The product reliability, customer support, and accountability have been extremely disappointing. I would never recommend Samsung washers to anyone after this experience.

      I have a Samsung front load washer, model WF45T6000A, and it is an absolute piece of garbage. It is three years two months old, and the drum bearing has gone bad and a drum support broke today during the spin cycle, causing the machine to begin banging around violently and leak water all over my floor! BEYOND UNACCEPTABLE!!!! The warranty is expired, so looks like I'm stuck holding the bag. Interesting how the tub fails almost to the day the three-year warranty is up. Designed to fail? I think so! My father's old top loader is 30+ years and still going strong, what's up with that? GET YOUR ACT TOGETHER, SAMSUNG!!!!! I'd give this review negative stars if I could!

      I recently purchased a brand-new Samsung WA51DG5505AW top-load washer with an agitator from Home Depot on March 7, 2026, for $700 plus tax. Unfortunately, it only worked for one load. After that initial use, it began failing to complete rinse and spin cycles—sometimes getting stuck during the rinse phase, other times advancing but never spinning at all.

      I contacted Home Depot within the first week, hoping for a replacement, but was told they do not accept appliance returns after 48 hours and that I would need to go through Samsung for support. After several calls, Samsung sent a technician who seemed unfamiliar with the machine. He ran a quick test from his phone, took the motor housing apart, spun the agitator, and claimed the washer was fixed, and left. However, when I tried to run another load, the same issues persisted.

      I immediately contacted the technician again, but he said there was nothing more he could do and advised me to call Samsung again. After continued frustration and multiple follow-ups, Samsung finally sent a different service company. They properly diagnosed the issue and determined that the brand-new washer needed a new control board.

      After nearly a month without a working washer, the control board was replaced on April 14, 2026. I’m hopeful the issue is now resolved, but only time will tell. As a long-time Samsung customer, this experience has been extremely disappointing. Based on this situation, I would not recommend purchasing a Samsung washer. In hindsight, I wish I had spent a bit more for a Maytag instead.

      The washing machine will NOT load with hot water, regardless of setting, from normal to heavy duty. When the machine is full, the water is COLD!!! From the first wash after purchase on, and NOTHING that Samsung has suggested as a problem IS a problem. These machines are programmed/manufactured to run at a cold temperature regardless of any setting. TERRIBLE machine, and I won't ever buy another!

      I purchased the Samsung Bespoke All‑in‑One Washer and Dryer, and it is hands‑down the WORST purchase I have ever made. For nearly $1,500, I expected at least basic functionality—but instead I got a machine that can barely wash a single load without creating a new problem every month. It takes almost SIX HOURS to wash and dry ONE load of laundry. The detergent door broke almost immediately, and now—barely 14 months after purchase—I’m getting a constant water connection error that makes the machine completely useless. And Samsung’s solution? Charge me to fix their defective, overpriced appliance simply because it’s one month out of warranty.

      This isn’t customer service—it’s a cash grab. Samsung has made it abundantly clear that they don’t stand behind their products, their customers, or their brand. The quality is abysmal, the durability is nonexistent, and the support is even worse. I cannot stress this enough: DO NOT buy this product. If you absolutely must, you’d better purchase an extended warranty because you WILL need it. This machine has been nothing but a frustrating, expensive, time‑draining nightmare from day one.

      There are several undesirable features about the Samsung 5.0 top loading washer (model number WA50R5200AW). First of all, it does not allow for the use of hot water on any selected cycle except for “whites”. There are 7 wash cycles. All of them have been designed to use cold water except the “whites” cycle. You cannot change this feature. The people at Samsung decided that you can only use hot water on the “whites” setting. Not heavy duty, not bedding, not even normal, can you use hot water. Only “whites”. It actually states this in their manual although it erroneously states you will have hot water on heavy duty (you won’t) and then later states you might get cold water on heavy duty (you will).

      So if you have pets, or like to cook, or have family members with dirty, greasy, sweaty clothes which results in the need for hot water, you will have to select “whites” even if they are not white. They also have temperature settings for cycles so it appears that you can bypass that cold water and increase the temperature settings to warm, or even hot. But that option is just for looks and to make you feel like you are in control of your washer. You aren’t. Those settings don’t work because remember, Samsung has decided no hot water for you in order to reduce your power consumption (page 44 of the manual). Also, the deep fill option truly means deep fill.

      There is no in between, and this is a very large barrel. If you have a small load that you would like to be covered in water, your only option is to fill the entire barrel with 37 gallons of water. And that actually is not economical nor environmentally friendly as you will also need more detergent for those 37 gallons. It would have been much better for them to include the option of deep soak for small, medium, and large loads. They do have a presoak option, but I don’t want to presoak my clothes. I just want a regular normal wash cycle where I can select the amount of water, and the desired water temperature. Two simple things that our washing machine inventors of old had already figured out. Why do we have to reinvent the wheel?

      I purchased a Samsung washer and dryer set five years ago. I’ve had the washer fixed at least four times for the same problem. After it wouldn’t work anymore. They wouldn’t fix it anymore and wouldn’t replace it even though I had the five year warranty. They said they had spent too much fixing the washer, and it was more than the washer was worth. It’s the most horrible washer I have ever owned in my entire life and they would not honor the warranty. The dryer still works well, so now I have a washer. I keep rigging just a wash clothes for me and my grandchildren since I really don’t have the funds to replace the washer right now, the five-year warranty was up in December. I’m sure they’re happy about that since they were really rude when I called them.

      Our Samsung electric washer and gas dryer are four years old. The washer worked fine for a year and has been absolutely horrible for three. It gets unbalanced almost every time I use it. I have spent hours sorting and layering wet clothes so the temperamental machine won’t clank loud enough to wake the dead and just finish the cycle please. We’ve had springs replaced, only to need them replaced in about six months. Just awful! I can’t wait to get rid of this thing! Now, to the dryer. I don’t know if the problem is Samsung, that it’s gas, or a combination, but it doesn’t dry the clothes. Waistbands are wet, sheets are wet, cotton towels are wet. I have to run the dryer a minimum three times longer than any dryer I’ve ever had, and I’m old and have had a few dryers in my life. These appliances are the worst.

      Bought a large capacity washer/dryer because I have a dog that has seizures (despite meds) so I do a lot of bedding including waterproof covers for everything. It is ridiculously bad. It is a "smart" machine that adds water during the spin cycle to balance things, over and over and over. Then it goes to unbalanced. There's nothing wrong with it per techs, but it can take 2 days to wash one load because of the fatal flaws in the design. Time after time, I have to drag soaking wet blankets and sheets out and try to wring them out by hand just to finish a load. Thanks so very much, Samsung, for selling a pathetic, money, time and water wasting pile of trash that makes my life significantly more difficult. I really hope karma is legit. This was my first new machine, I was so excited. Let down x 10000. I miss every used old washer I've used before, every single one worked infinitely better.

      I would think twice if you are planning to buy a Samsung washer. I know I'll never buy another one, I'm literally stuck with this lousy washer. We have a HE washer with small digital display, not the full touch pad display, so it's like the mid-range model. Still pretty pricey. Within the first 6 months, Samsung (through multiple trips) has replaced the motor, the shaft, the belt, the timer, the load weight water balance detector thingy, the computer, and everything else you can think of. The drum and outer shell was not replaced.

      The correct amount of water was not being filled on all cycles. Constant unbalanced loads, which it did detect and added more water when needed. But the agitation is horrible. My wife spends more time untying the clothes than the load takes to wash. Doesn't matter what type of load is being washed, it's always the same. Towels, sheets, shirts, PJs, socks, you name, every load. SEE THE PICTURES.

      For reference, this model is designed to detect the weight of the load and adds the correct amount of water regardless of the spin speed or load size. The replacing of all available parts fixed the unbalanced load issue but it still sucks. I'm just glad we got the extended warranty through Lowe's now that it's over a year old. Additionally, the Samsung Service Tech was great...all 6 times he came out.

      It is my opinion that the top load washers with agitators are much better than these front load washers, while these front load washers hold much more close the problem with that is they have to be all the way full or they won't balance the spin, right? But when you feel them all the way full, they eat your clothes and leave holes in them. It's really frustrating. Not to mention the fact that I can't open my washer without the door needing to be unlocked which it won't do. If it's got water or anything in it, my top load washers, I could always open my lids on those I could adjust my cycles. I could go through the cycles. I could go back to whichever cycle these front load. You can't you don't have options and I don't really like them. And I thought they were going to be better, they're not in my opinion.

      I cannot tell you how many articles of clothing have looked just like this one since I've gotten these washers or dryers, and the sad part is, I inherited them. So I don't have a receipt to do anything about it. It's not, it's as frustrating. It's very, very frustrating and it seems like it's always my newest clothes that they want to eat. Not my old raggedy clothes. Marty, get right, throw away notes. My newest clothes, my best closeting. They do get them clean and they do hold a lot of clothes. And so that's why they get it too because they do work very well for the washing part. But everything else on the side as far as not being able to switch the cycles or go back-and-forth or open it or not. Have my clothes eaten. That's why it does not get anywhere near 5.

      I have had two Samsung clothes washers, a top load and a front load, both are horrible. The top-load machine lasted about 4 years and I had to replace it with a front-load machine. Both machines have a balance issue and the front-load machine also has a leak issue from the soap dispenser. Trying to get Samsung out for a service call while the machine is under warranty is almost impossible.

      I purchased the Samsung WV60A9900AV washer in June 2022, expecting a long-lasting, premium appliance. Unfortunately, the tub stopped working almost exactly 3 years later, just outside the basic 1-year warranty period. For a high-end washer in this price range, that’s unacceptable. Samsung promotes this model as durable and high-capacity, yet a major failure like this so soon shows otherwise. What’s worse, warranty support offered no meaningful assistance even though the stainless-steel tub is advertised with a 3-year warranty and the motor with a 10-year warranty. I’ve always trusted Samsung for electronics, but this experience has completely changed my opinion of their appliances. The lack of accountability and product reliability is extremely disappointing. I would strongly caution anyone considering this washer to research long-term reliability before purchasing.
