Show Keeping your Samsung washer clean is important because it prevents odors and mold from accumulating, and keeps your washer performing the way it should. Let us show you how and when to clean your Samsung front and top load washers, whether you're cleaning surface spots, the pump filter (on front load washers), or running a Self Clean or Pure Cycle. The sections below will help you clean certain parts of your washer, but there are a couple of ways to make sure it stays fresh in between routine and monthly cleanings.
If you normally wash with cold water, run a cycle with warm or hot water occasionally to help slow down soil and detergent buildup. Leaving the washer's door and the detergent drawer open helps air them out and prevents moisture from lingering long enough to let mold or mildew form. If mold or mildew has already formed, see our guide for troubleshooting. Routinely clean and dry your washer’s surface to remove any residual cleaner or water. If there is a spill, it should be cleaned up immediately, since water or detergent residue can cause surface blemishes on the washer's door. A mild detergent and a damp cloth will remove most spots. If you've already tried that and the spots remain the same, you can use a small amount of Cerama Bryte cooktop cleaner.
Self Clean (also called Pure Cycle or Self Clean+) is a special cycle that prevents mold. It's designed to clean areas of the tub where moisture and detergent residue may accumulate. A normal cycle may not be able to reach these areas. It takes approximately one hour
to run Self Clean on a top load washer and four hours to run Self Clean on a front load washer. After the Self Clean begins, the estimated remaining time will display.
If you notice suds or residue in the washer tub during the Self Clean cycle, we recommend running another Self Clean cycle afterwards. The Self Clean reminder LED will display after 20 washes on a top load model or 40 washes on a front load model. Although you do not need to run a Self Clean cycle immediately after the reminder appears, we recommend that you run one at your earliest opportunity. It's also a good idea to run one at least once per month if you do not do many washes in a month. We recommend using Self Clean as the primary method of cleaning the interior of your washer once per month. However, some models may not have a Self Clean or Pure Cycle. In this case, using any washing machine cleaner will do. Carefully follow the instructions for the cleaner you purchase because they may vary between products. Routine maintenance helps prevent odors from happening in the first place, but if you already have odors in your washer, you may need a little extra oomph. See our guide for a washer (or laundry) that smells bad for steps specific to this issue. Using too much detergent can gunk up the detergent drawer, causing less to reach your clothes. It can even contribute to odors and other issues with your washer. You can easily keep the detergent drawer clean by wiping it dry after every wash session. You can also deep clean it at least once per month just to be thorough.
This model comes with an auto dispenser detergent drawer, which should be wiped clean after every wash, and deep cleaned once per month. Doing so will prevent detergent build up, odors, and other issues with your washer.
Caution: If you recently ran a hot cycle (Self Clean, Pure Cycle, or Sanitize), the water in the washer will be very hot. Allow one hour to elapse so the water can cool and to avoid possible injury. The pump filter on your front load washer, also called the debris filter, helps filter
lint and other debris from entering the washer's drain system. (Top load washers do not have a pump filter.) We recommend cleaning the pump filter at least once a month or approximately 40 washes, whichever is more frequent. Keeping the pump filter clean will help prevent odors, reduce the likelihood of mold and mildew, and ensure your washer drains properly.
Note: If these steps don't match with your front load washing machine, please refer to your user manual. Other answers that might help
