NOTE
- If you lose an accessory and want to purchase a replacement, contact the Samsung customer care center (1-800-726-7864 (1-800-SAMSUNG)).
- The design of the parts and accessories may differ from the pictures above. Their design is subject to change without notice for product improvement.
CAUTION
- Do not reuse old water hoses, which may leak or burst, causing flooding and/or property damage.
- Make sure rubber washers are inserted in each coupling of both water hoses.
Installation requirements
Electrical supply and grounding
- AC 120 V / 60 Hz fuse or circuit breaker is required.
- Use an individual branch circuit. Connect only the washer to the circuit.
To ensure proper grounding, the washer comes with a power cord featuring a three-prong grounding plug for use in a properly installed and grounded outlet. Check with a qualified electrician or service person if you are not sure about the grounding. Do not modify the provided plug. If it does not fit the outlet, call a qualified electrician to install a proper outlet.
Water supply
Proper water pressure for this washer is between 20-116 psi (137-800 kPa). Water pressure less than 20 psi (137 kPa) may cause the water valve not to close completely. Or, it may take longer to fill the drum, causing the washer to turn off. Water taps must be within 4 ft. (122 cm) from the rear of the washer so that the provided inlet hoses reach the washer. To reduce the risk of leaks:
- Make sure water taps are easily accessible.
- Turn off the taps when the washer is not in use.
- Check for any leaks at the water inlet hose fittings on a regular basis.
CAUTION Before using the washer for the first time, check all connections at the water valve and taps for any leaks
Drain
Samsung recommends a standpipe 18 in. (460 mm) high. The drain hose must be connected through the hose clip to the standpipe, and the standpipe must fully cover the drain hose.
Flooring
For best performance, the washer must be installed on a solid floor. Wood floors may need to be reinforced to minimize vibration and/or unbalanced loads. Carpeting and soft tile surfaces do not provide good resistance to vibrations and may cause the washer to move slightly during the spin cycle.
CAUTION Do NOT install the washer on a platform or a poorly supported structure.
Water temperature
Do not install the washer in areas where water may freeze as the washer always retains some water in its water valves, pumps, and/or hoses. Frozen water left in the connection parts may cause damage to belts, the pump, and other components of the washer. Dimensions
Clearance requirement
This clearance requirement is applicable for washers only.
NOTE
- For dryer’s clearance requirement, see the dryer’s user manual.
- If the washer and dryer have different clearance requirements, use the one with the larger value.
Sides | Top | Rear | Front |
1 in. / 25 mm | 21 in. / 533 mm | 5.9 in. / 150 mm | 1 in. / 25 mm |
Minimum clearance for stable operation:
If both the washer and a dryer are installed in the same location, the front of the alcove or closet must have two unobstructed air openings for a combined minimum total area of 72 in.² (465 cm²).
This clearance requirement is applicable for washer and dryer pair installation.
Side by side installation
Step-by-step installation
STEP 1 Select a location
- Location requirements:
- A solid, level surface without carpeting or flooring that may obstruct ventilation
- No direct sunlight
- Adequate room for ventilation and wiring
- Ambient temperature always higher than the freezing point (32 °F / 0 °C)
- Away from heat sources
STEP 2 Connect the water hose
CAUTION
- Make sure to use new water hoses and that rubber gaskets (B) are inside the couplings (A) at both ends of the hoses. Water hoses without the gaskets may leak.
- Allow 6 in. (150 mm) of space between the back of the washer and the wall to prevent water hoses from being kinked. Kinked hoses may cause water leaks.
- If there is a water leak, stop using the washer and contact a local Samsung service center. A water leak may cause electric shock.
- Do not stretch the water hoses by force. If a hose is too short, replace the hose with a longer hose.
1. Attach the water hoses to the hot and cold water taps, and then hand tighten the water hose fittings until they are tight. Then, use pliers to tighten the fittings by an additional two-thirds of a turn. To avoid damaging the fittings, do not overtighten them.
2. Pull the water hoses to check if they are firmly connected.
3. Put the other ends of the hoses into a bucket, and then open the water taps for 10 - 15 seconds to remove impurities. When done, close the taps.
4. Attach the water hoses to the hot and cold water inlets on the back of the washer, and then hand tighten the water hose fittings until they are tight. Then, use pliers to tighten the fittings by an additional two-thirds of a turn.
NOTE If you do not want to use the hot water supply hose, insert the water intake cap onto the hot water supply intake. When you do a wash, press Temp. to select Cold.
5. Open the water taps, and check for leaks.
STEP 3 Connect the drain hose
1. Check the height (A) of your drain system and make sure the minimum and maximum heights shown below are met.

Maximum | 96 in. (245 cm) |
NOTE
- Make sure to measure the height from the floor where the washer is placed.
- Draining efficiency may be reduced if the drain system is at the maximum height.
- To prevent the washer from siphoning water, do not use a drain system below the minimum height.
2. Attach the drain hose to the plastic hose guide (B).
3. Route the drain hose to the drain system.
CAUTION
- If using a standpipe, make sure the standpipe and drain hose connection is not airtight.
- If using a standpipe, make sure the drain hose is between 6 in. (152 mm) and 8 in. (203 mm) inside the standpipe.
4. Secure the drain hose with cable ties.
Over the edge of a wash basin The drain hose must be placed at a height of between 24 in. (60 cm) and 35 in. (90 cm) from the floor. To keep the spout of the drain hose bent, use the supplied plastic hose guide (A). Secure the guide to the wall using a hook to ensure stable drainage.
STEP 4 Level the washer
Leveling models without adjustable nuts
1. Slide the washer into position.
2. Open the lid and check the pulsator. If the washer is level, the pulsator (A) will be positioned at the center of the tub.
3. If the washer is not level, turn the leveling feet clockwise (B) to lower the washer, or counterclockwise (C) to raise washer to level the washer.

Laundry guidelines
STEP 1 Sort
Sort the laundry according to these criteria:
- Care label: sort the laundry into cottons, mixed fibers, synthetics, silks, wools, and rayon.
- Color: Separate whites from colors.
- Size: Mixing different sized items together in the tub improves washing performance.
- Sensitivity: Wash delicate items separately. For pure new woolen items, curtains, and silk items, check the labels on the items.
NOTE Make sure to check the care label on all clothing, and sort clothing accordingly before starting the wash.
STEP 2 Empty pockets
Empty all the pockets of your laundry items
- Metal objects such as coins, pins, and buckles on clothing may damage other laundry items such as well as the tub.
Turn clothing with buttons and embroideries inside out
- If pants or jacket zippers are open while washing, the tub may be damaged. Zippers should be closed and fixed with a string.
- Clothing with long strings may become entangled with other clothes. Make sure to tie the strings before starting the wash.
STEP 3 Use a laundry net
- Brassieres (water washable) must be placed in a laundry net. Metal parts of the brassieres may break through and tear other laundry items.
- Cashmilon, large volume items, and lightweight clothes (lace-decorated clothes, lingerie, nylon stocking, and synthetic fabrics) may float on water during washing an cause problems to the washer. Use the laundry net or wash them separately.
- Do not wash the laundry net by itself without other laundry. This may cause abnormal vibrations that could move the washer and result in injury.
CAUTION
Make sure to soak inflatable items (such as blankets, and cotton-filled or microfiber quilts) in water before you run a cycle.
- Inflatable items may cause damage to the laundry or the washer during the wash or drying process. •
- Regardless of the size, blankets or quilts are safer and cleaner to wash one item at a time. Two different-sized blankets in the same load may compromise the spinning process due to unbalance loads.
To input a blanket
Fold the blanket as shown, and then put it below the plastic area (A) of the tub
STEP 4 Prewash (if necessary)
- To remove stains and dirt on collars, sleeves, hems, and pockets, apply detergent lightly and brush off.
- Use powder or liquid detergents. Do not use soap, as this may remain on the tub after washing.
- Prewash white socks, sleeves, and collars with a little detergent and a brush.
CAUTION
Make sure the laundry is inserted completely.
- Any exposed part of the laundry may cause damage to the machine or the laundry itself, or a water leak
- Make sure the laundry does not exceed the plastic area of the tub.
STEP 5 Determine the load capacity
Make sure the laundry does not exceed the plastic area of the tub. Otherwise, it may cause the washing machine to not wash properly or cause damage to the machine or the laundry itself, or a water leak.
NOTE When washing bedding or bedding covers, the wash time may be lengthened or the spin efficiency may be reduced. For bedding or bedding covers, the recommended load capacity is 3.5 kg or less.
CAUTION If the laundry is unbalanced and the “UB” information code is displayed, redistribute the load. Unbalanced laundry may reduce spinning performance.
STEP 6 Add the correct detergent type
The type of detergent depends on the type of fabric (cotton, synthetic, delicate items, wool), color, wash temperature, and degree of soiling. Always use “low suds” HE laundry detergent which is designed for automatic washers.
NOTE
- Follow the detergent manufacturer’s recommendations based on the weight of the laundry, the degree of soiling, and the hardness of the water in your local area. If you are not sure about the water hardness, contact your local water authority.
- Do not use detergent that tends to harden or solidify. This detergent may remain after the rinse cycle, blocking the drain outlet.
- For the best cleaning results, use a high efficiency detergent such as Tide HE, Wisk HE, Cheer HE or Gain HE*. High efficiency detergents contain suds suppressors that reduce or eliminate suds. When fewer suds are produced, the load tumbles more efficiently and cleaning is maximized. (*Brand names are trademarks of their respective manufacturers.)
The washer provides two-compartment dispenser for detergent and fabric softener. The bleach compartment is located on the left side of the tub.
A. Softener compartment: Add a recommended amount of fabric softener into the softener compartment.
B. Detergent compartment: Apply a recommended amount of liquid detergent into the compartment. To use a powdered detergent, remove the liquid detergent container. The washer does not dispense the powdered detergent from the liquid detergent container.
C. Bleach compartment: Add bleach as instructed by the manufacturer.
- Do not pour color-safe bleach into the bleach compartment.
- Use the softener compartment only for liquid fabric softeners.
CAUTION
- Do not open the detergent drawer while the washer is operating.
- Do not use the following types of detergent:
- Tablet or capsule types
- Ball or net types
- To prevent the compartment from clogging, concentrated or highly-enriched agents (fabric softener or detergent) must be diluted with water before being added.
To add washing agents to the detergent drawer
1. Open the lid.
2. Slide open the detergent drawer.
3. Add liquid laundry detergent to the liquid detergent container in the main wash compartment.
NOTE
- Do not add powdered laundry detergent or other powdered laundry agents to the liquid laundry container.
- To use powdered detergents, see To use powdered detergent section on page 32.
CAUTION
- Powdered fabric softener is not recommended. Use liquid fabric softener only.
- Concentrated fabric softener must be diluted with water before being added.
- Do not add detergent to the softener compartment.
5. Close the detergent drawer.
- Do not exceed the max line when applying the cleaning agents.
- It is normal for a small amount of water to remain in the detergent compartments at the end of the cycle.
- When adding color-safe bleach, it is recommended to use liquid detergent.
First, remove the provided liquid detergent container from the detergent compartment. Then, add powdered detergent to the detergent compartment according to the detergent manufacturer’s instructions.
CAUTION Do not add powdered detergent to the liquid detergent container.
To use the bleach compartment
Add only liquid chlorine bleach to the bleach compartment. Do not exceed the max line.
CAUTION Do not add undiluted liquid chlorine bleach directly to the load or to the tub. This may cause fabric damage.

- Do not exceed the detergent quantities recommended in the detergent manufacturers’ instructions.
- Use stain removal products and bleaches before the wash cycle only when necessary.
- Save water and electricity by only washing full loads (the exact amount depends upon the program used).
