    I bought a front loading Samsung washing machine for over $800 in 2011. 4 years later the mother electronic board ceased to work even though I only do 2 loads of laundry a month. I had to pay over $400 to have it fixed 3 days ago. It still doesn't work. Now the repair service says (sight unseen) that it will cost another $150 to fix the secondary electrical board. So for a mere $550 I can fix the washer which for what I paid for should have lasted longer than 4 years. Save your money. DO NOT BUY THIS.

    I have a Samsung top loading washing machine model #wa456drhdsu//aa and have had nothing but problems with it. I have replaced two pumps which happened during my warranty period. The new problem is the dampers (springs) that keep the drum from getting out of balance. I searched the internet to find out that this is a common problem. But during my search I came across this service bulletin dated 6-5-15. Which states that basically Samsung put the wrong parts in some of the machines so they sent this bulletin out to all their techs with the new part to be installed in the machine.

    I called Samsung and they basically said that since my machine was out of warranty that I was out of luck. Even though they originally installed parts that were wrong for my machine. I was pissed because I paid extra for a large capacity name brand machine hoping that it would last me a long time. Unfortunately it's had nothing but problems and with the way their customer service handled the situation was very poor. One guy even told me that I must have really been digging to find that service bulletin and that it wasn't meant for me to see but he still refused to do anything. If you are in the market for a new washing machine I would definitely not buy a Samsung unless you buy a very extended warranty.

    I have a Samsung washer and dryer that was purchased 2-3 yrs ago. I love to do laundry so it is important to me that I have quality units. After doing some research on different brands I was choosing between LG and Samsung. I think I chose wrong after looking at these reviews! About 6 months ago the water started leaking into the tub when the cycle was completed. It happened sporadically, and I would just hustle into the laundry room when I heard the cycle finish to get the clothes out.

    Now I am getting the OE code which the manual says is a fault detected in the water level sensor. I don't even want to contact Samsung because I do not have the time or patience to be on the phone forever and then get a customer service rep who barely speaks English and can hardly be understood! (Pet peeve of mine!) So I guess I will see if this part can be ordered online and convince my husband to try and fix it because he is ready to just run out and buy a new washer!

    Bought a 4.5 top load Samsung top of the line washer. Stop working the first week, service tried to fix the second week, they replaced it the 4th week. Since then I have had to take 4 half days off work for various breakdowns in which the repairs always take at least 2 weeks, with the last one taking a month. Samsung has great ideas and make nice looking stuff, too bad they don't work! I was going to buy a Samsung 30 cu. ft. refrigerator in the next couple of weeks, but this last breakdown is only 30 days after being out of service for 30 days. I can't trust their products anymore and neither should you.

    My husband and I bought a pair of Samsung washer and dryer on the 10th of July 2015 from Pacific Sales store in San Dimas, California. Two delivery guys showed up on the 14th and when they saw that these 2 machines needed to go upstairs. They simply left them in my hallway and gone, telling my husband that they would come back next day with extra help. Next day came, nobody showed up, so my husband, after got kicked around on the phone from the store to delivery warehouse, from Best Buy to Pacific sales (we still do not have any clue what are relationships between these 2 business) finally was told that nobody was available to come again making delivery (to upstairs) and installation until one week later!

    Not believing this could be true, I in turn called the warehouse myself asking to speak with their supervisor. The warehouse reception would not want to tell me the supervisor's name, only told me that she was not allowed to give me his last name but his first name is Anthony. I had to leave a message to Anthony, of course nobody ever called me back. Wednesday afternoon I then called the store directly telling them to pick up these 2 machines so that they can be moved out of my hallway, and demanded for a refund. I think this finally got their attention. Couple of hours later I received a phone call telling me that his name is Gabriel and his is the San Dimas store manager. He apologized for what had happened and told me that if I insisted on returning them, I would have to wait till 3 days later which is Saturday, but If I do not return them, he would send someone Friday to install these machine. Of course I chose the latter.

    By Friday noon, I did not receive either phone calls from the store nor from the warehouse on promised 2nd delivery/installation. I then called the store again. A girl in manager's office told me that the store manager Gabriel was on the phone and she, with very convincing tone, told me that I would get the installation between 1 pm to 5 pm that day. Not wanting to miss this installation they promised, I hurried my husband home during the work hour for the whole afternoon. The result you already know now: Nobody showed up ever, not between 1 pm to 5 pm, not after 5 pm.

    Frustrated and furious beyond our believe, about 10 am Saturday I called the store manager Gabriel again. He would not want to answer my call. So I had to leave another message to him. I waited another hour and he finally called me back. When I informed him that I would record our conversation if he did not mind, he angrily and rudely said 'no, I do mind you record our conversation'. Hmm... Long story short, as you can guess, I was lied to again and again. I did not get anyone to install my washer and dryer that day after long and exhausting conversation with Gabriel. Not next day until following Wednesday, exact 8 days after they dropped these 2 machines in my hallway!

    One thing that I want to mention here is that EVERYONE, I MEAN EVERYONE that my husband and I spoke with sounded all VERY RUDE, very unprofessional. Some of their names which I wrote down are Rachael in the warehouse, and Natalie in San Dimas store. And I did not have the honor to speak with the warehouse supervisor Anthony because he never returned my call! Hey, he might be a professional and nice guy, though you would never know! I could not laugh at that time. My husband and I were miserable. This is the worst experience we ever had in our life. I wonder why they still exists. They should be out of business forever for good. We need to let the world know their bad business operation. Of course we will never buy anything from them again and we will tell all of our friends not to buy anything from Pacific Sales.

    We purchased this Samsung Top Load HE washer less than 3 years ago. Within the first year, the bracket holding the waste water pump had broken off the unit causing it to flood part of my house. As I looked under the unit, I saw that the pump was mounted to the bottom of the drum with a plastic bracket and nothing to dampen or absorb the vibration from the unit. After a long, aggravating conversation my call was escalated to a person who said "I'm the highest person you will reach at Samsung." I explained my situation, and was asked "what changes would you make?" I explained that there is enough room on the bottom frame to mount the pump, use rubber vibration dampeners, and get away from the pinch clamps holding on the water lines and use hose clamps. 8 months later, a retro kit was available for $100.00.

    Now let's get into the "service" company that they use in MD. I was told that I would receive a call within 24 hours to schedule my repair. After leaving multiple messages and calling Samsung back multiple times I was finally called 4 days later. I was told (while they were laughing) that my paperwork was misplaced and the part was out of stock. During my 4 days of aggravation I found the part local to me and passed on that info. Finally 10 from failure date a "technician" came out and replaced the part. I was also told that "clearly you do not know how service works." Yet, I am a service contractor for the government. Since then, the unit has failed 4 times, this time not draining. Called Samsung a final time and was told I'm on my own to fix it. Glad I paid $1000.00 for something that didn't last 3 years. Samsung has lost me as a customer. All they care about is the initial sale, not customer satisfaction.

    Purchased Samsung top loading washer approximately 2 years ago from hhgregg. Washer will not spin with error code dc. Tried the workaround from Youtube and it didn't work. Our last washer was a Whirlpool and lasted for 13 years so will be terribly disappointed if we have to purchase a new washer. It certainly will not be a Samsung. Only Samsung appliance we own and it will be the last one. Can't believe a company of this size can get away with doing business like this.

    We bought a Samsung washer and dryer from Lowe's 2/13. The drain pump broke loose on 11/13 and continued to have drain issues 9 times. Warranty on those but took weeks to repair because parts are not available. Had replaced drain pump 3 times control panel. Now the thing has a warped drum which is covered but we are suppose to handle labor and any extra parts. 150.00 to just diagnostic and more to repair. Repair company recommended not to repair due to expense. So I have a 500.00 washer that we cannot use. I would highly recommend not buying any Samsung products due to lack of customer service. Should have been replaced after first 3 visits. Now we have to start over with another washer but never again a Samsung! Would have been great service if Samsung or Lowe's could have made it right.

    Our family purchased the WA400 series as our first new appliance set in November 2013. The guy at the store told us how, without an agitator, we could wash more of a volume of clothes. Great idea when you have two boys. Within a month my family began to complain that their clothes were not getting clean. I thought perhaps I was filling the washer too full. Boy was I wrong. No matter what size load that I did, I would get the same result. I thought washers were supposed to wash clothes. Often times I was required to redo a whole load.

    About six months ago, the washer began to act odd when it came to the spin cycle. The washer would shake violently and then when it gets to 9 minutes, it resets to 17 minutes. If it is on warm or hot and we aren't paying attention, it quickly drains our hot water heater. When it finishes the wash cycle I now have to set it to the spin cycle. Most of the time I still get the dc error code and my clothes are soaking wet. This whole high energy efficiency on this washer has me wondering where these people got their information. The guy at the store told us how the washer spun so well that the dryer hardly had to work at all. The last load I did as of two weeks ago took good seven sixty minute runs. So much for saving us money.

    We contacted the store and they said it wasn't under warranty. We bought it a year and a half ago. They said that the direct drive is however. They then informed us we have to drive it 25 miles to the repair guy and that it will probably be at our own cost. From what I have read on this site today I have little faith the repair place will be successful in fixing it, but we have to try. I am so disappointed. This was the first brand new appliance set we bought. Now I have to walk to my neighbor's house and wash a load. Then, walk back home to dry them. Samsung, please stick to what your company is good at: Electronics. I think it would be in your best interests not to screw hard working people out of their money. Thanks!

    Worst experience I've ever had with an appliance company. I've been waiting 7 days for Samsung to schedule the repair on my dryer that is covered under the warranty. First they tell me that they have no repairmen in my area. I live in a suburb of Philadelphia. Now, after 7 days, when a repairman finally calls, he tells me that I'll have to pay for the repair because Samsung has the wrong purchase date in their records. It takes 20 minutes on the phone to speak to a human and then communication is extremely difficult because they speak very broken english. It's like the customer service people are reading from a script. I'll never buy Samsung again!

    The Samsung repairman came out three months ago and replaced the pump, the tub, and all associated with these. The washer worked okay, not fantastic, but did run for three months. Now when it spins, it sounds as though it is taking off like a jet. You can hear it all of the house. Floors vibrate, windows shutter. After the spin cycle, I opened the top to find plastic from the machine shredded all inside the washer and all over my clothes.

    I have called for a repairman to come out and look at the machine to see what is wrong. Please understand, I am the only person using the machine. I don't run it but once a week. I select the "low" spin cycle for the wash. The load that I put in the washer is very small and requires very little work. I don't think this machine is put together very well... I'm surprised that the company is still around to hear the complaints from everyone who has purchased one. Needless to say, I will not purchase another Samsung product.

    Purchased from Lowe's Home Improvement November 2012. The washer worked fine until Feb. of 2015, at which time the drain pump housing failed, and spilled entire water content onto new kitchen flooring. Upon browsing Samsung website, my son found a special bulletin recalling above mentioned part. I had not received notice of this recall. After contacting Samsung and mentioning above bulletin, by number, ASC20130509001. The A&E Factory Service company, out of Raleigh came and replaced the part. I was not charged. The second and final issue occurred in June of 2015. The washer did not finish its cycle and issued an error code, which advised me to call a repairman.

    Again, A&E Factory Service Co. came to diagnose issue. I was told the control board had to be replaced, with either a refurbished one, for $340.00 or a brand new one for $440.00. I naturally refused. I called Samsung hotline, spoke to them about them making good on their product. I explained my concerns that two and a half years was not acceptable for the machine to now need major repairs. I was offered to buy an extended warranty for an outrageous amount of over $300.00 to fix the machine. If I didn't want to buy that warranty there was nothing else they could do for me. I felt this was extremely unfair, not to mention bad business practice of not honoring and standing behind their product. I would NEVER buy Samsung anything again.

    I recently purchased a Samsung top loading washer and dryer. I usually use the 'Eco Warm' temperature setting. Without fail, the control panel becomes covered in condensation. I spoke to the gentleman that sold it to me and he seemed baffled and said he's never heard of that. I called Samsung and after a few minutes on the phone with her, she told me that was normal. Water on the control panel is normal?? No way do I believe that the housing unit of the electrical board is supposed to have water on it. Has anyone else had experience with a problem like this?

Now that the washing machine is out of warranty the water leak is worse than ever and the last technician said the "drum" could have a "lopsided load" causing water to spill out on to the floor...

    I purchased a Samsung front-loading machine about 8 years ago that I have had nothing but problems with. I can find all the same complaints listed endless times online (smells terrible, have to constantly clean, runs way too long to be efficient, won't spin water out) but after endless maintenance nightmares and after being checked out fully by a Samsung dispatched repair company, my experience ended with my washing machine STARTING ON FIRE. I had to unplug it, move it to the middle of a room, smother the fire.. to keep it from burning down my house. The service people who had just been at my house said they could replace the back drum and seal, at a cost of $1200 (yes, more than a new one) but overall it was not too bad and that I could continue to use it.

    About a year after we bought our Samsung washing machine (purchased 10/7/2011) it started having an orange rusty-colored line on the top of detergent/softener dispenser drawer when I pulled it out. I cleaned it every time I used it. Then shortly afterwards, the area around bleach dispenser began rusting. Now the top of the inner "lip" over the drum is rusting. The area around the dispenser is so bad that orange rust is running over the edge and down into the drum. Last year the washer was repaired 4 times and the dryer, one time. Our clothes and bedding have rust spots that I can't get out. I no longer feel I can use it for any clothing or bedding of value. I am not having any luck so far as rust is considered "cosmetic" and not covered. We purchased a 4-year extended warranty from Lowe's.

    UPDATED ON 09/24/2015: My first review on this site was July 20, 2015 when I posted pictures and narrative about our unfortunate experience with our Samsung washing machine. I felt it was important to update readers on what has happened since. Samsung agreed to repair our machine by replacing the badly rusted top. We agreed to do that. They sent the wrong parts to the repair company in our area AND the top came with NO LID. The lid of our machine was rusted, also. The repairman could not make the repairs and I had to call Samsung again. Before I could, they called me to ask if I was satisfied with the repairs. "What repairs?" I asked. I explained what happened to them and said I needed a new lid on the top.

    We got into the "rust is cosmetic" issue again at which point I told them I was planning on retiring this year and I planned on committing the rest of my life (if it took that long) to making sure the world knew what junk Samsung made and how poor their customer service was. I was put on hold and after one hour my hand was asleep so I hung up. Two days later they called me and offered to "buy back" my washing machine. They first offered $649 and then I mentioned the ruined clothes and they upped it to $749. We received the money direct deposit and we promptly went shopping for a new washer AND dryer. Even though our dryer works, I don't want anything Samsung anymore.

    We purchased Speed Queen this time. They are basic, dependable, and have a 5 year warranty that YOU DON'T HAVE TO PAY FOR!! I can't take all the credit for this happy ending. Our local Lowe's (where we purchased the Samsung set) stuck by us and was instrumental in making Samsung listen and take responsibility. I just want people to know that it is possible to deal with these big corporations. It's not easy, but it's possible. Good luck to all. PS... I still chose to put only one star to rate my experience because this should never have happened to begin with.

    We bought this washer & it's matching dryer less than 2 years ago from our local Lowe's store. I did extensive research at the time, and we had friends who had just purchased this set and loved theirs. After reviewing other models as well, I had come to the conclusion that no one makes a great washing machine anymore anyway, so it may be best to go with one that someone had recently purchased and loved, and that I trusted. Unlucky for me!

    This machine has been such a nightmare! IT LEAVES BLACK SLIMEY SHEETS OF SOMETHING ALL OVER ALL OF MY LOADS! I had one service person tell me that it is caused by buildup behind the drum from the new environmentally friendly detergents that we all must use and to be sure to run the Pure Cycle. I do that regularly without fail. IT DOES NOT HELP! Everytime I run the Pure Cycle to clean it there are large amounts of this gunk everywhere inside of the drum, but it does not stop it from continuing. I may get a load of two that I only have to pick stuff off of, but rarely.

    Upon calling Samsung, and waiting 42 minutes on hold, they inform me that I am out of warranty and need to schedule a service call with the nearest dealer which is in another town!!! I left them a message last week, but they never returned my call. Call #2 to Samsung, and another 35 minute hold time, and they are scheduling a service call for me this time - the company will call me "within 4 hours" to let me know the date and time frame.

    THE NEXT AFTERNOON WHEN THE COMPANY CALLS TO SCHEDULE MY SERVICE APPOINTMENT, it is a very country sounding lady who doesn't seem to understand anything about washers at all. I explained my problem, and she put me on hold to return and inform me that I should just buy a new washer as it would be cheaper than repairing mine!!! Seriously???!!! Just like that? No inspection? No questions or answers with the technician? No explanation offered for my less than 2 year old washer that works fine other than this gunk coming out of it???!!!

    So, I asked for her to please explain to me what her reasoning was...she says to hold on and returns. The technician tells her to tell me that my "clutch is leaking grease and it is mixing with the soap" and getting on my clothes. That we would need to replace the clutch, pay for a new drum, service call, labor, additional parts, etc and it would easily add up to $600 - $700. So, they recommend a new washer. Nice for them to just assume that's best...what about my dryer that matches this washer? So annoyed!!! Do not buy Samsung - I do not trust this tech. And they have no one locally. Frustrating as heck.

I tried to find my bill of sale and was unable to find, I had my old Sears Kenmore Washer I used while trying to locate the papers I needed to no avail. The washer is now five years old so I made a service call to have the washer repaired. The service man said that the bearings had gone and that is why the drum would not spin, and he said it would be too costly to fix. Why would the bearings go bad in a brand new washer after two yrs.

    Samsung front load washer/dryer were less than 3 years old before they both had problems. We have replaced the heating element in dryer and that repair lasted less than a year. We're told by the repairman that the washer needed a new computer!!! The washer never did clean our clothes properly either. So, we sent a less than three year old machine to the garbage dump and bought a cheap GE machine that put it to shame. Now that the element burned out (again) the dryer shall follow. I am sick. We spent more than we wanted to but figured since we (thought) were buying quality it would be worth it. Quality? JUNK. They don't care either. They wanted more to fix them than they are worth.

    We bought a Samsung front loader washing machine about 2 1/2 years ago. I was told to use some clorox based tablets to clean the machine once a month or so. Also to leave the door open when not in use. I did as I was told, not just because of following instructions, but also because the machine had just a little bit of a smell. AS time went by this problem is only gotten worse. Now it's to the point where my whole laundry room smells like mold. I keep cleaning this machine, but it is not getting any better.

    Well, I called Samsung hoping to get something resolved. I really wanted to get some sort of credit so I could buy a new machine of a completely different design and they could take this problem one with them. But, of course what do they said, "you are out of warranty, nothing we can do". I explained that this mold issue is affecting our health, our clothes smell funny, and who know what else could be wrong. They did not care. SAMSUNG DID NOT CARE.

She further stated that I have to pay $180 for the technician to come and diagnose if it's just for the motor and $180 + part if it's not the motor. I was then trying to explain to the rep. that this appliance is less than three years old and spent thousand of dollars on this appliance. The rep. got rude with me over the phone and promised to sue Samsung for their dubious ways of making their product.

It is at the point where it absolutely will not spin properly at all. Then it starts to cycle back through its cycles.

    How could this have happened? We never make large purchases without first doing exhaustive research. We looked at tons of different washers in person and online. We read countless customer reviews and weighed ratings. We felt very good about our decision to buy the Samsung WA5454ANW/XAA over all the other choices. We felt very good about buying it through Best Buy. We don't feel so good anymore. Our new bright shiny washer was delivered April 11, 2012. It began to bite the dust June 13, 2015. If you're an inventor, or a manufacturer that cares, that's not a great record. But - if what I'm seeing on this site is any indication - the folks at Samsung are not great inventors or manufacturers, and they certainly don't care.

    We paid a little over $1,000 for our well-researched new high tech HE washer. It worked satisfactorily, even though I have expressed some consternation along the way that there really doesn't seem to be enough water in the tub to actually get the clothes clean. We've had the occasional pause for an unbalanced load, which we fixed apparently to the machine's satisfaction. Then, a few weeks ago, in the middle of a load, the machine decides it doesn't feel like spinning any longer and posts an E3 error code. Gosh, that's a new one, I thought - I wonder what that one means... The manual says it's a motor drive or hall sensor error. I take out my handy dandy troubleshooting guide that came with the machine and run through the well-belled and whistled diagnostics.

    I'm not a novice when it comes to things mechanical, but I figured since "motor" is one of the few remaining parts still under warranty, I'll call the people responsible for this beast and see what they have to say. Imagine my surprise to find that, as Samsung's customer service expert searches for a repair person, the nearest "authorized" repair person is an hour and a half drive from my home. "Are you sure?", I inquire. "There has to be someone in my immediate area." Nope - she says - United Radio in Syracuse is the closest authorized repair business to my home in Binghamton. United Radio? I've lived in central/Southern Tier of NY all my life and have never HEARD of United Radio. No bother - I get the contact information and we set up an appointment.

    The call was on a Friday. The tech wouldn't be here until the following Wednesday. That's today. He confirms our 2 o'clock appointment. He shows up and I introduce him to the beast. He starts looking at a bunch of information on his cell phone. He didn't even seem to have much in the way of tools or tech manuals with him. Long story short: he didn't seem to know much more about the beast and what was causing its ailment than I've learned by watching YouTube for a week and a half. I hear him on the phone talking with his supervisor about what they should do. His professional diagnosis amounted to: "not sure what the problem is. Could be this wire harness or another one, or it could be the main board." Our price for maybe fixing it: $306 and change. Nope. Not going to happen.

    With the tech standing there with his estimate in hand, I get back on the phone and talk to his supervisor who runs me through my (all distasteful) options. I get the impression that he doesn't want his technician to replace one wire harness first to see if that's the offender, and if not, replace the other one. Too time consuming. After all, there are about four screws he'd have to unscrew and then unplug a wire harness and then plug the new one in. Who has that kind of time? I said to the man on the phone: "he's looking to charge me $150 for labor: I'd like to see some labor done." I was not about to pay a repair charge of roughly the third of the cost of this machine when it was new, when even the technician and his supervisor weren't sure it would even work. Of all the options laid before me, I opted for: the technician gets back in his car and drives away and I find a local repairman to give it a shot, or I try to fix it myself.

    To their credit, they waived their usual $55 "travel fee". My question to all of us is: why are we putting up with this nonsense? We are literally being robbed by corporations that are knowingly selling us garbage and inflated prices and then trying to rob us again when their garbage starts to stink. We do our homework, we do our research, we spend hours comparing machines and even then, we end up with a big shiny pile of junk. In days of old, appliance manufacturers took pride in the quality of their product. They stood behind them. It didn't require a second mortgage to have them repaired if something went wrong. I make this solemn vow: I will never EVER again buy any product that has the word Samsung attached to it.

    My wife and I purchased a washer and dryer front load combo on 12/31/08. We have seven children, so my wife does an average of two to three loads of laundry per day. She is very careful not to over load the machine and uses only the HE Soap as recommended, never substituted. If the life expectancy of a washer with this type of use is 6.5 years, then I need to just go and buy another one at $1,200.

    Here is what happened. Our laundry room is on first floor, the washer was running and was running its pre-balancing cycle to balance load before the major spin. I was on the second floor and I had heard quite a bit more noise than normal which includes the sound of metal on metal as the washer increased its spin speed. I did not pay much attention to it as it does make a lot of noise in the spin cycle. The next day my wife had issue with the washer not spinning and the pump would not pump. It sounded like it wanted to run but couldn't.

    My son and I took the back of the machine off and disconnected the hoses. When we took the pump out we found misc chunk of what we thought were rocks. We were very puzzled, so we began to disassemble further. We removed the molded rubber tube that drains the water from the tub. This rubber piece was full of many 1.25" chunks of metal. We then looked closer at the smaller chunks we found in the motor and they were finer chunks of the metal. This must have originally been a cast part. I did a brief surf online and found there were other issues of the spider(?) weight being eaten away by the soap. Did not have a chance to research much yet, but I will likely tear it apart to find out the rest of the story.

    Shown in the picture are some of the large chunks and some of the small ones found in the motor. I want to pass this along to anyone thinking of buying this machine. With less use it may last longer. I am quite sure I will end up buying another of these front loaders, but will try a different manufacturer. Not recommended.

When they were delivered the technician used my old dryer hook up and hose but I was charged for new ones. I finally got credited back for this bogus charge. The first time I used the washer there was dirt and water left in the tub, I had to run the washer on an empty load to try to rid the water and dirt however I have been told this is normal (from their customer support). It took almost 4 hours to dry 2 towels.

    I went back to Home Depot and they called Samsung and made me talk to the customer service who then informed me I would have to go home and call them back and they would then "troubleshoot" over the phone. I had the set for less than 24 hours and now had to deal with this. When I did this they said they would have to send technicians out to my house and try to fix them. I did a second load and got black stuff from the washer all over my clothes. Again, almost 4 hours to dry a very small load of clothes. Home depot wasn't willing to do anything since it had been "used". I am now donating the set to a charity and buying another washer and dryer. I will never ever buy another Samsung product again.

I removed the wet clothes, scooped the water out by hand and tried it with no items. The same results, will not spin or drain.

    I bought my washer from Lowe's about two years ago and although it's pretty it doesn't seem to get my clothes clean. Also it's broken and I could only find one company in my area that repair Samsung washers. There were many repair shops in my area but all said call Samsung. I called but no answer. I am now waiting on someone to come out and fix it and I can only imagine what the cost would be.

    Samsung WA 400PJHDWR/AA - I purchased above washer, thinking I was buying one of the best! I was very sadly mistaken. I have made numerous complaints and had it serviced. The washer is working as designed. Apparently it was not however, designed to wash clothes and get them clean. I have tried everything the manual has to offer, from different detergents, laying my clothes in loosely, no fabric softener, extra rinse (making wash time 72 min per load). My sheets do not even get completely wet, whites are now beige and my darks have to be washed 2 to 3 times to get the soap streaks out of them. I plan to junk this washer (I cannot in good faith sell it to someone else) and go to a garage sale and get a washer designed to "wash" clothes. Signed very disappointed.

    Heard something let go during spin cycle. Turned machine off immediately. Husband talked to appliance repair shop to see if there was a belt he could buy. They said it's all self-contained and an error message would appear if something was wrong. Washed another load to see what happened. Noticed a strong odor or chemical in the drum after it completed successfully. Noticed small bits of rubber in the drum as well. Moved the flexible rubber seal and noticed that it was disintegrating and part was gone. The white plastic under it was also getting rough.

    This machine is about 7 years old. I have had it for a couple years. It had 2 previous owners. I have been happy with it till now. I always leave the door open between uses to let it dry out so it doesn't get moldy. I regularly drain the hose on the bottom and use a rag to clean out the drain that seems to accumulate black moldy water and debris. I don't think that's a problem though.

    Updated on 6/21/2015

    We had noticed that the spin cycle was louder than it had been and had discovered the disintegration of the door boot gasket, but didn't connect the uneven rotation that was observed with the disintegration of the gasket. We ordered a new gasket and installed it and started the washer and it tore up the new gasket and the noise it made was awful and smoke was inside the drum. Had we realized when the drum first started making more noise than it had been that the problem was the "spider arm" or whatever the framework on the back of the drum is called that failed causing the drum to rotate unevenly, we may have been able to get it repaired and save the washer. My husband saw a video after the fact that showed the spider arm cracked and that's what made it go around unevenly. Live and learn. We found ignorance is costly.

    I purchased a Samsung washing machine for my mother along with a 5 year warranty. After she had it close to 3 years the machine gave an error saying the pump would not pump water out of the machine. I called for service and the service guy said he couldn't find the serial and model number? I gave him the owners manual along with the receipts of purchase. He said that was no good?

    After calling Samsung and days later of them trying to find out where these numbers are supposed to be (inside the bottom of the door on the front load washer) the service guy said our warranty was voided because these numbers were gone. I called Samsung and asked them if there was anything they could do? No they said. I asked if they could send a new sticker with the numbers that I could put on the outside of the machine? They said No. I asked what it would cost to fix the machine. They said it would be around $1000.00 and could go up to $1500.00.

    I spent right at $2000.00 for the machine 3 years ago so no, I swore I'll never buy Samsung again because they wouldn't help. Called the BBB and they suggested arbitration because Samsung wouldn't do anything. We went to arbitration and everything seemed to go great except when Samsung lied about the sticker being impossible to be removed! The arbitrator believed the Samsung rep who was dishonest.

    75 year old mother bought front loader from Lowe's with a pedestal on Black Friday 2014. Delivered at Christmas. Waited 2 days to thaw to room temp and first load started walking 1-3 inches per load. Called Lowe's and sent service who recommended replacing. 2nd unit does same thing except now Samsung wants to bill $75 for each service visit. (Already been out twice). Keep telling mom there is "nothing wrong" with unit (seriously want us to believe it's acceptable to move so much that it crosses room every few weeks and blocks the door?!?) even though it's on level floor and unit is level.

    We have put on a rubber mat, still walks. Now have 75 pounds of weight in the pedestal drawer which has reduced but not stopped the movement. When mom calls Samsung just tells her $75 to come look. She can't afford that. Samsung needs to 1) Send out a tech without charge to her. 2) Provide a unit that doesn't move without adding mats and weights. If their model design is flawed and all units do this they need to provide a different model or restitution and we'll buy another brand. Really feel like they are taking advantage of an old lady!

    I will admit, I have had a Samsung dryer for 5 years so far but I don't use it heavily - maybe once a week if that. During the first 3 years, the belt broke and I had to replace it (easy fix, but annoying). Two years have gone by and now it seems that the metal drum is coming apart at the seams (literally - there's a large crack in the seam - see photo). That crack is causing the drum to be out of round and the dryer makes a loud thumping noise on each revolution.

    When I say research, look for this specific problem and you will find literally thousands of reports and videos of the same thing happening with Samsung products. Now, I am faced with the issue to repair (at a cost of $400+) or cutting my losses and replacing it with something else. I started the research into replacing with a different brand and it seems LG dryers are having some of the same issue. Samsung will do absolutely NOTHING for you outside of the warranty.

    I purchase ON June 3, 2006 a Samsung Washer Model # WF316LAS/XAA, Serial # ** and Dryer from Lowe’s. I have called Samsung several times over the years. It has been recalled. Their site even states that my machine is one of the affected washing machines. I have gotten no satisfaction from Samsung all these years and my washer was still under warranty when this recall was issued. Samsung has refused to stand behind their product or fix it and I have not been able to use my washer since 2007. What is the problem? Recall: From Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) Maytag and Samsung Brand Front Loading Washing Machines On 2007/03/21, the Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) published a recall regarding Maytag and Samsung Brand Front Loading Washing Machines due to a potential fire & burn hazard.

    This product sold new beginning in April 2005 for about $1000.00 to $1200.00. About 300,000 units are involved in this Samsung washer recall. Instance(s) of fires have been reported. This was the 1st recall of products in the Washing Machines category in 2007. Samsung's response to this recall was to issue a GFCI Plug and have the owner plug the machine into it to prevent electrical shock or fire - This did not take care of the main problem, the water leak; it fried my circuit board after my warranty ran out. Now they want me to pay them to repair / replace the circuit board and if I want to have the water leak repaired I have to pay them to do that. I did not see any water leak as I saw no water under the machine. The water leak was a slow leak which eventually fried my circuit board. Note: I reported this to Samsung while my machine was still under warranty.

    This was done in 2007 But the water leak was not taken care of. I did not know at this time that I had a water leak and on faith I took Samsung’s word that it was taken care of. I responded to this with Samsung and they sent me a GFCI plug (Electrical) to fix a Water leak. This did not fix the water leak problem. They stated in the recall: Water leakage onto the electrical connections to the washing machine's thermal sensor could cause an electrical short and ignite a circuit board, posing a fire hazard to consumers. Instance(s) of fires have been reported. Samsung stated: I see that installing the GFCI plug did not fix the water leak issue. This was back in 2007 when I turned this in and I have been given the runaround from Samsung. No a GFCI plug is for an electrical leak not a water leak. The water leak has fried the circuit board and the washing machine has been dead since 2007.

    A GFIC plug is to prevent electrical fires and electrocutions. It has nothing to do with stopping a water leak. On 8-2-2013 I had to call Samsung at 10:30 AM as they did not call first thing like they said. I called and got ** who then transferred me to ECR. I then spook to ** of ECR. She stated that Samsung will not take care of any repair at their cost, because it was out of warranty. She said that I would have to pay for everything. She stated that since I did not report a water leak in the beginning, (I did not see the water leak you have to open up the machine to see it and that would void my machine), that it was my responsibility and not theirs for their faulty product. She asked what I thought should be done and I said repair it or replace it at their cost seeing that it was a manufacturing defect that caused all my safety problems. She said there was no way that Samsung would do any of that and that was final.

    She was rude and she would not listen. She did not care about the customer, only the black line. She said she was going to hang up on me and she did. Resent GFCI Plug August 5, 2013. After ** of ECR, Samsung, refused to have my washer repaired at their cost, Samsung in all their wisdom sent me another GFCI plug to repair the water leak and to prevent electrical fires or shock. Again, in the letter sent with it, they write: “Water leakage onto the electrical connections to the washing machines thermal could cause an electrical short and ignite a circuit board, posing a fire hazard.” Samsung Customer Relations Called for a Prorate Refund on August 20, 2013. Samsung called and a ** left a message on my phone, which was not complete and was incomprehensible.

    She stated, from what I could understand, that Samsung would be willing to give me a refund of 10%, prorated for each year of ownership, for a machine that I have not been able to use for several years (April 2007), because Samsung did not repair the water leak as stated in the initial recall. This prorated refund gives me a value of about $578 with a loss of about $622. And this is what Samsung says I am worth for a repair which should have been done correctly in 2007 the time of the recall. And when I called for the first time. Samsung sent their Band-Aid fix of a GFCI and stated that my water leak was fixed, which I questioned Samsung in 2007. They again stated that the water leak was fixed. It was not fixed. ** left an incomplete E-mail address which I think is (**). The rest is unintelligible and I am not sure of the beginning. Today June 5, 2015 I get another run around from Samsung:

    "Dear Darrell **, I apologize for the frustrations and inconveniences you have experienced. In order to proceed with your claim you will need to provide photos of the damages and a professional estimate from a licensed contractor and / or professional cleaning company for repair of the damages. If you have medical bills relating to this washing machine please send the medical bills that include documentation of the treatment received. You may provide these documents to me directly at my contact information below **. Be sure to send the items as attached .jpeg or .pdf files and when emailing photos, send only 1 - 2 at a time to ensure delivery. Please be sure to include the transaction number - ** along with your first and last name in the subject line of the email. If you have any other questions or concerns, please call 1-800-SAMSUNG. Thanks for being a Samsung customer and have a great day!"

    All this information about my claim has been sent more than once and now they want me to do it again. They were told, while my machine was under warranty, that this recall happened and that my machine quit working back in 2007. There was no fire, no injuries, just that my machine quit and I asked them to repair it. Thank You for your time.

    I bought the Samsung WA456DRHDWR 4.5 Cu. Ft. White Top Loader washer in 11/2012 and it broke within the first 30 days, leaking water all over the tile floor. A tech was sent out and couldn't fix it and the entire machine had to be replaced. On 5/28/2015 this happened again. After searching the internet I've learned that this is a common problem for this washer which is experienced by tens of thousands of customers (see https://www.consumeraffairs.com/homeowners/samsung_washer.html). It has to do with a defective water pump design that Samsung really should have done a product recall on.

    I called Samsung for service and they said someone would call me yesterday to schedule service for today. Instead, I had to call them this morning and was told by the repair service that they would not be able to come until next Friday (6/5) and even at that they would have to order the part (another couple weeks) and then come back an install it (another couple weeks). This is just plain unacceptable. I did not pay nearly $2K for a washer / dryer set that does not even last as long as some cheap $300 Kenmores that I had way back in the day and that lasted 20 years. With little kids running around the house and this washer possibly flooding at any time, the house could be at risk for water damage or people at risk of electrocution at any time.

    In September of 2014, I bought a very expensive washer (over $500) that does not clean clothes. Their customer service is the worst I have experienced and their service techs are a 3rd party whose main goal is to protect their relationship with Samsung, and servicing a defective washer is completely secondary. I have washer that does not clean clothes and cannot even sell it bc how can I sell a washer that does not clean clothes.

    Samsung HE washer - Had to buy a washer in a hurry as my old one died with a full load in it. I didn't review this like I usually do. I went to the store intending to buy a different washer but changed my mind the last minute because I thought this machine could hold so much more because it didn't have the center agitator- BIG MISTAKE!

    1) The water doesn't cover the clothes. I have to add 2 buckets of water manually each load as the machine won't let you add more water.
    2) I can't fully open the lid because it hits my cabinet above. This makes it difficult to add the detergent.
    3) After reading the manual, it says "do not wash shoes". I always wash my gardening shoes after gardening.
    4) If you don't like the lack of agitation once it starts, you can't change the setting to something with more agitation without completely draining the machine. The manual doesn't tell you this. If you ask me, no cycle agitates enough.
    5) After washing my socks after cutting the lawn, not only were my white socks still green but the grass was still on them.
    6) I am only 5'1" & because this machine is very deep, I have to stretch & stand on my toes to reach the items on the bottom.
    7) Water remains in the detergent dispenser after the load is complete, a perfect breed for mold.

    9) When I do a cold water load, I like to add just a little warm water so it's not ice cold. You can't change the temperature once it starts so there is no mixing of temperatures.

    I decided to write my review after using it a few times to be fair. I did read many good reviews & I was hopeful I would get used to it but that didn't happen. This was a costly mistake for me. I can't afford to replace it. Maybe this will save someone else. Stick with the standard, center agitator & you'll have no regrets.

    #WA400400PJHDWR/AA 02 is the model number for SAMSUNG VRT WASHER. PURCHASED: (BORN) September 2013,-(DIED) May 18th 2015... We always had an issue of it: RERINSINING EVERY LOAD, ADDING TIME, and the DC error code. Maybe every 20th load... It would complete a load without babysitting it by (STOPPING IT BEFORE IT ADDS MORE TIME), & RERINSES. But we would have to manually hand wring them out... to get rid of the excess water. Or hang the clothes on the clothesline, and let them solar dry. (Too heavy for the dryer). FINALLY... We call www.eliteappliance.com, a 5* Appliance Repair Company.

    1. RERINSES... To my surprise repairman says that some of the new HE washers are too smart (thinking that the clothes are still dirty, or too much soap... So it re rinses. Ok I guess, but to do it over and over again? Ok?

    2. DC ERROR CODE: Actually we were so busy talking about the 1st Issue, I forgot to inform him (and his company forgot to issue work order for DC error code)... About a week went by and I remembered, so I called and they came out and it was no charge. He checked the drum by pushing down on it, and his diagnosis was that we needed the drum shocks. (It took a week for parts to arrive from Tucson), he informed me it was going to be a two man job.

    3. May 18th, 2015 the two men come with the parts... Start the tear down and in the process of their diagnosis, THEY FOUND TWO MORE PROBLEMS: CONTROL BOARD & the ROTOR STATOR ASSEMBLY. So the appliance repairmen tell me... There was no sense in installing the shocks… That I should just shop for a new washer... After only 1 1/2 years of use of this SAMSUNG WASHER? WE HAD A WHIRLPOOL ROPER for 11 YEARS... Before we purchased the SAMSUNG. PLEASE MR. SAMSUNG, STICK TO MAKING CELL PHONES... YOUR WASHERS ARE VERY EXPENSIVE FLOWER POTS.

    I ordered a Samsung washer (1 SAMSUNG: WF-42H5000AW) and dryer. Delivery was late, but not completely unreasonable at 2 1/2 weeks. The washer malfunctioned on the very 1st load. The rubber around the drum was found to have shredded and disintegrated and was mixed in with the laundry, all over the drum, and in all the drainage holes. I contacted Samsung, and after 50 minutes of phone tree, transfers, being on placed hold and finally speaking with "customer service" refused a replacement washer. I spent $1500 on this set and was unable to do a single load of wash. This company simply makes a poor product and has even poorer customer service. I did not think it was unreasonable to expect a new replacement washer for one which did not even last for one load of laundry.

This will not be repaired by Samsung and would not be repaired even if under warranty. I am going to call them to see if the bleach container can be removed so the area and cup can be sanded and repainted. I have never experienced this problem before and probably won't again since I will not order another Samsung.

    Purchased this washer from Sears 11/26/12 for $850. Shortly after year one, blue plastic rim was shredding and blue shavings were in our clothes. Also, the thing sounded like a helicopter taking off. Sears tech determined it was the basket, ordered a new one. No washer for 9 days. Replaced basket, 2 days later, was making noises again. Tech came and determined bolt that held basket in was defective. 2 techs told me basket system was defective. I called Samsung and while the basket is under warranty, they refused to pay for the bolt that attaches it and the labor even though the defective basket under warranty caused those issues!

    Fast forward to 2 weeks ago. Machine not spinning as it should: goes down to 12 minutes, then back up to 20 something. In order to get water out, I have to stop machine, hit spin only and half the time, water starts coming in while it says "spin only". So, I stand there and when it approaches minute 9, I stop machine. Restart spin and repeat until clothes are not soaking wet to put in dryer. Tech came and out another basket in. Didn't work still. Another tech came 3 days later, said water pump sounded bad and it's probably an electronic control board issue, too. Just got off phone with Samsung and they offered to send one of their techs here AT MY COST, and if there were repairs to be made it would be AT MY COST unless he found the machine defective. I will NEVER purchase another Samsung product--and we have no fewer than 4 of them in our home now, and will do everything I can to warn people away from their laundry products.

After 2 more repair calls and 200.00 later, the repair guys have no idea what is wrong with it. But if I want to spend 500 more, they can put a new computer on it and that may fix it. After numerous calls to Samsung, they offered me an extended one year warranty for 400.00 dollars. I told the lady she must be insane.

    This washer looks like a gem but is my worst nightmare of any purchase I've ever made. 2 yrs ago I bought this high tech piece of crap and all I heard was the wife screaming at it. Not enough water to wet close and now no water at all comes out. I thought she needed to get used to it but soon realized what a bad move I made to buy this thing.

But the important thing, I researched reviews to find it would be a huge hassle to call on repair services. Being very good at fixing things (former engineer machine designer) I removed the backplate finding a purple wire had been pre-cut wrongly and finally gave way. I tracked the other end and professional spliced in a jumper wire to complete the circuit. I SAVED the machine and it works again. The wire(s) in the harness were clean cut as if a machine at the factory did this. It must have been hanging on by a half of a strand. Good luck people.

    Hello I have had the same experience as Gayle from Florida. The bleach dispenser on my Samsung top loader WA5451ANW is rusting and ruining my clothes. I called Samsung and they say that although it is only 2 years old, they do not warranty against rust. They offered to send out a service person but I declined because what is he going to do? I removed the plastic part of the bleach dispenser and the entire area is rusting. I cleaned it with some CLR and stop-rust product. Dried it with a hair dryer and then painted it with an appliance paint used on dishwasher racks. I now notice I have a screw rusting above the soap dispenser so I guess I will do the same to it. These are just band-aid solutions for a bigger problem.

    In November of 2014 I acquired a Samsung washer and dryer pair. After only 17 months, the washer will not spin the clothes dry. My sister had this same model number unit and was pleased with it when I purchased mine. Shortly thereafter, she began to have major problems with hers only to "junk" it at less than 3 years old. She had numerous repairs and the service man finally told her it was not worth putting any more money into. I have made numerous calls to Samsung only to be told that it's out of warranty - go figure! They will sell me an extended warranty for 329$ - half the cost of the machine. That would be stupid now wouldn't it. NO ONE should have to replace a machine of ANY brand at 17 months old. Samsung should be ashamed of the quality of their product.

    I have told everyone that I know NOT to ever purchase ANY Samsung product and will continue to ADVERTISE for them. Before I starting having trouble with my washing machine my refrigerator went out. I went to Sear and purchased a refrigerator that has never allowed me to use the water/ice on the front. A faulty part they claim, 3 repairs later and still waiting on a service tech again. They are about to get this refrigerator back.

When I disassembled the washer I found the root cause of the failure to be a corroded drum shaft assembly. This failure is due to a poor design. The cast aluminum part is not suitable for this service when it is bolted to a stainless steel drum. While it is repairable, the whole machine needs to be disassembled to clean out the debris and then replace all of the other damaged parts. Not sure it is worth it, knowing I will have to do this again in a few years or sooner. I won't be buying another Samsung appliance.

    First of all, I have not called a repairman yet. I have done a lot of troubleshooting by watching videos and reading. Looking at consumer reviews, it doesn't appear to be a lot the repairman can do about an unbalanced load. Anyway, for about 1 1/2 years, I have not had problems with my washer... until now. Regardless of the size of the load, it will go off balance every single time. As recommended, I properly place the clothes in the bottom of the tub, I add clothes, remove clothes, untangle clothes, level the load in the tub and STILL HAVE TROUBLE. Unfortunately, my washer doesn't offer the option to spin only. When I restart, it goes through another entire rinse and spin cycle causing me to use an unbelievable amount of water.

Still had water leakage & per Samsung the service man was not to return until after 30 days which he did on 4/13/15, & was told per Samsung that the clamp was re-designed & would be sent for replacement again.

    Service is to return on 4/22/15 to install the new clamp. I contacted Samsung for reimbursement of laundry expenses since the machine is within the years warranty but they said they do not cover those expenses. Their customer service is very poor. They are unfriendly & not at all concerned for the consumer. We should never have listened to the salesman as to how good these machines are. They are terrible. The dryer won't dry clothes on any programmed settings. Timed dry is the only thing that works. Do not buy Samsung machines.

    Our 4 year old Samsung washing machine (WA5471ABWX) has required 4 service calls. It needed a drain pump replaced, 2 control panels and a sub pcb display replaced as well. The only thing that has saved us, is the extended warranty that we purchased with the washer, an additional $270 expense on top of the $1100. To add insult to injury, the washing machine is now showing signs of rust around the bleach dispenser. After many phone conversations and emails to Samsung's "executive customer relations" department, Samsung has deemed this a "cosmetic" issue and is unwilling to take responsibility for its substandard paint process. I am extremely disappointed with Samsung and will never purchase another product from them. Buyer beware, expensive does not equal quality. We learned this lesson the hard way!!!

    This is the worst appliance I have ever had in my life. Horrible burning smell then it died and would not drain the water out. Bought a new water pump and paid someone to put it on. Then the system is throwing an error code and would not run. Another paid service call and I am told the drum is warped and to fix is like 1,000 bucks. It is ridiculously heavy and finally got it on the back of my pickup. The dump will not take it. I am dumping it at a place I found later tonight. You need like 3 people to lift it. Piece of junk.

    2010 Samsung front load washer defective - During the spin cycle the washer was clunking then it starts dinging with a code. Opened the door and the clothes were soaking wet, spin cycle not working? Thought it was an anomaly and put in another load. Washer starts dinging with "nd" and found it meant "not draining". At this point I went to open the door but of course it is locked. Solution was to take out filter which drained water all over the floor (thank goodness it was tile and not hardwood) with the wet vac cleaning up the rest of the mess. Time- 3 hours, clothes wet and dirty, towels from clean up wet and dirty. Husband spent 2 & 12 hours on phone with Samsung with no good result. Tried to find someone to repair the washer and the only service is A&E. I am afraid to even call them because of the reviews. After checking for Samsung Front Load washer reviews, we have decided not to service the machine and JUNK IT. $800 machine didn't even last five years. Totally unacceptable!!

    WA400P - I purchased this washer in March 2013 and now have to spend $350.00 to repair it. It's out of balance and needs a new tub, 4 new shock absorbers and new rings. Had a Maytag before this one and it lasted over 15 years without any problems.

    We purchased the Samsung 4.5cu High-Efficiency Topload in November. When doing a load of cold the washer allows all HOT water to come in. Waiting for my 4th service call, already have had two motherboard replaced. One Samsung tech tried to tell me that my cold water is too cold????

    I purchased a Samsung Aqua jet VRT WASHER AND DRYER. I had the washer replaced within 15 days because it was not working properly. I also seem to notice that if you don't put a lot of clothes it doesn't wash correctly. And if you put a lot of towels it stops works and gives you UE error. So with this washer it's damn if you and damn if you don't. I paid 1500.00 for each and I am furious. This are the worst washer and dryer I have ever purchased and used. It also throws a lot of water and makes a ton of noise. It doesn't wash correctly. It leaves stains on the clothes that has stains. It also takes more than 1:10 to do a quick wash. All the cycles take up about 1-2 hours to wash and dry. The Salesperson told me that this machine was the best in the market because it had the best washing system due to the new Aqua jet that Samsung added. PLEASE DON'T BUY THIS NEW WASHER AND DRYER. IT’S THE WORST APPLIANCES EVER!!!

    3/12/15 - My new washer broke. It has not been fixed or replaced per warranty. It's been a month and I have not even been called. 24 to 48 hours to them means nothing to this company. Will never buy a Samsung product again. Many other choices out there.

    Front load washer glass blew out not safety glass. Scary and dangerous. Samsung will only replace door. Samsung says this never happens. Their new door is resigned. WHY?? No answer why? Many calls and emails. They simply don't care. I sold this product. NOT anymore. Bad customer service.

    After a few months, my new gray washer now has white blotchy areas on the lid. I do not use bleach, I only use Woolite or tide so not happy about having a now ugly machine in my nicely decorated laundry room. Ugh! Is there any way to get rid of the blotches? I also use a water softener...

    Machine started smelling horrible within a month of use. We have had problems with clothes smelling... We tried all the bleach, HE detergents, cleaners, left the door open...only to still have horrible smell as soon as the machine begins filling with water. I will never purchase Samsung or any other front load washer ever again. We should not have to pay the high price for a product that has to be constantly cleaned out... deodorized... etc... Poor product. I will be sure to share.
