Thank you for the positive vibes, my Cabrio washer power switch broke a year ago and the repair told me no parts were made for it any longer. He robbed the switch from the pause button to replace it with the admonishment, "when this breaks again, it's broke." Saturday the pump went out. Repairman wants $300 to repair, so considering just doubling the price gets me a new machine, off to Lowes we went for a new one, not necessarily the top-of-the-line Cabrio but just something that will get the job done (though the Cabrio did last 20 years). We went price and feature shopping and decided on this Samsung Top Load washer for 598 which I considered a good price for the features. I like the buttons. So many of the 'Newer and Pricier" washers (and dryers, we don't need one, the Cabrio dryer is still drying) buttons are all induction or led pads and I just see that as more expensive electronics crapping out sooner than later. We also asked MATTIE at LOWES SOUTHSIDE IN ABILENE what her return experience was on the washers, and she said the GE and Maytag's come back more often, followed by the stackables, the front loaders and the LGs. She said in the year and a half she's worked in the appliance dept, she's seen NO Samsungs returned. And they had two in stock. We liked what we saw, and the see through top is a bonus. Our cat has gotten trapped in the washer twice before and it was a hassle getting the machine stopped to fish him out and revived. This way we will be able to see him. It's being delivered and set up Thursday and I can't wait to wash more clothes. We are a retired couple and wash about once a week.
So glad I found your video. I was concerned about the agitation. I had Kenmore machines forever and was used to the quick back-and-forth agitation but listening to your machine it sounds exactly like mine so I am very comforted😊
Thank you for this video. I managed to buy this machine off someone for $150. Just started with quick wash and was worried about the noise. Glad to hear the loudness is normal and knowing what to look out for. I'll take more updates as it progresses.
Thank for the video! I just got one of these, and that pulsing noise you hear throughout this video is pretty loud. I heard it on the second floor during it inaugural run today and thought it was delivered broken. So if anything, this video brought me peace of mind that it isn’t. But that pulsing in the beginning of the wash is a bit loud and annoying. So far, that is the only knock, and if things come out clean and it doesn’t break for 20 years, I'll be a happy camper.
I just got the 5.2 cu smart things version of this washing machine. That noise the motor makes had my wife thinking it was damaged. I’m glad that it’s just the type of motor that makes that noise.
@jmc6000 if you haven’t replaced your current dryer yet, I’m here to tell you that the new Samsung dryer is amazing. The model I chose can detect moisture. It would definitely be a upgrade.
I have had this exact model for 3 months and love it. Granted, I went from a 34 year old kitchenaid set to the Samsung set. I did not even realize how much my Kitchaid set was not cleaning until I started washing with the Samsung.
Thanks for the review. My 21yr old GE washer burned out last week, so my home warranty company will be sending a check and I just purchased this along with the matching dryer, which were on sale together for $1100 at Abt Electronics here in IL.
Does it always agitate so slow? I'm nervous mine is broken. It's so slow I feel I could stur my laundry with a stick better. My mom's old washing machine goes crazy. I used to let it pull my jeans in to make sure to wash them good. It was like I was feeding it. Just got this washer and I just watched it for the first time and I'm not sure this is going to clean my clothes. I came here to look and I guess that's how they are. Soft to the left then soft to the right but makes a almost plastic on plastic sound.
@@gregtumbiola9617 make sure your agitater is on completely, some you can take off and unless you match the cut outs on the bottom it won’t grab by the motorized part
I've had this washer for a few years and I absolutely can't stand it. It doesn't redistribute the clothes when its off balance. It just starts the whole cycle all over again! And the cleaning cycles are already ridiculously long.
I dislike mine too. It's ridiculously labor intensive to use when the load becomes off balance. And also there are often tiny dirt clots that stick to my clothes & sheets after washing. Even though I wipe the drum clean before using. Is it not rinsing well enough? We've had ours for less than a year & have to replace because of this issue.
That's what happens when you don't have an agitator to naturally keep clothes distributed equally around the sides. Without an agitator, whatever's in the center can get thrown to one side.
Thank you for your review. I just blindly purchased this today. I had a whirlpool before that lasted 14 years 😌. Ultimately just want some very clean clothes so maybe I should select deep wash... I have to read my manual.
I had it a few weeks, I absolutely hate it, 1. It doesn’t spin dry at all, leaving clothes wet which is such a waste of dryer energy 2. The drum doesn’t spin full circle unlike front load models, which definitely impairs the cleaning power
We had to move our dryer out to the garage and vent it out the wall because our laundry room vent is so long and bent working its way up to the roof, that it stayed clogged. The clothes now dry like they should.
We just got this washer and I am trying to figure out a few things. Laundry sanitizer is supposed to stay in for at least 15 minutes and I'm not sure the best way to ensure that.
I have 2 issues. First, I've watched the washer several times in both normal and quick cycles since purchasing. For whatever reason in the Normal cycle it does not drain and refill to rinse. It simply sprays and spins until time runs out. Oddly enough, the Quick cycle does drain and refill to rinse the clothes but you can not use auto fill in the Quick mode. Samsung states to there is a way to take the normal cycle out of Spray rinse mode by putting it in Deep rinse mode but that adds over 30 minute to the wash. The second issue is that it's just noisy. It hums and grinds when draining. Very annoying.
@@p4ulth0m4s6 That is correct. I can't use Normal cycle because it doesn't fill up in rinse. It justs sprays and spins which doesn't get all the soap off. They have no real answer for this.
Where do you put the liquid soap, directly at the bottom of the drum before you put the dirty clothes or in the little "bleach" recipient at the top right corner ?
@@thejmcGarage Thanks, that's creasy, I read the whole manual twice, they tell you 15 times not to use the washer as a barbecue but they never mention that little box for the detergent ! ;o)
Just got Mine and love it so far! Parents have an lg front loader and this top loader is great 😊 it’s fairly quiet and quick. Kinda wish though it was in a different color lol 😂 but white isn’t too bad…. Regardless it’s been great so far and been able to wash my clothes with ease and much prefer without an agitator
WI so not like ours a little over a year old. Unbalances the load on its own! Takes 5-6 hours to go through a cycle because of the self unbalancing. The spin cycle kicks in to a stronger gear and throws you load unbalanced. Same issue no matter what size load you have. Then, sometimes it also starts the washing cycle over and over!? So much for energy and water saving!?
SOOO frustrating. Especially when doing loads with large items like sheets & blankets. When this happens I press pause, unfurl the items & redistribute the load. Most of the time it works.
I have that dryer it works great. Ours only takes like 40-60mins to dry on high or medium. Your vent might be blocked/bent. You maybe are putting a ton of clothes in? We put about 10-12 pieces of clothing like tshirts etc
Love the fact that being a non-h.e. model of a Samsung, it at least let's you select the water level which is extremely convenient. Nice machine, priced fairly as well for someone who doesn't want the H.E. model. 🙂
I also have a samsung top load washer. It works great 👍 I always use 2 hours heavy duty setting mode. My white shirt gets extremely cleaned. It looks like brand new cloth.
@LK1419_ heavy duty mode is fixed to 2 hours. You can not change the time separately. Samsung washers also have automatic self-cleaning mode. You can use this function once a month.
I'm using this washer temporarily and I can say it is not loud at all. Quite to the contrary of what the man said in the video. I was noticing with its first use how quietly it operated and was impressed with it's simplicity of controls and how it cleaned. If you also use a quality detergent. I think this washer you'll be pleased with and it uses enough water that everything is saturated. I don't see any problem. If you want a stylish looking washer to display to your guests. Then you pay more for an upgrade.
This thing sucks. Every time it goes into spin the washer bounces and the unbalance signal comes on. Then it tries to rebalance the load by adding water, draining, respinning. After 4 or 5 attempts I give up and clothes line dried the laundry. The service man replaced the suspension rods and regreased them. Did no good. The thing just won’t spin without getting unbalanced. What do I do?
I bought same machine except it has the agitator - so far so good . I did 2 loads in normal mode and noticed the rinse cycle only sprinkes water while drum rotates slowy for a few minutes instead of filling up with water and agitating . Then I did 2 loads in quick wash mode and the rinse cycle actually filled with water and agitated like I assumed normal mode would . Kinda confused as to why normal mode only had sprinkle rinse
I just got this washer am trying it out right now and heard the same noise that you did , thought something was wrong with the machine, not liking that noise at all , also this machine takes too long I thought that it would wash faster & the tub moves too slow for me. I wish I could by pass the time it takes to wash on other settings besides quick wash. Its been a long time since I had a new washer,30yrs, so I didn't know what to expect, any suggestions will be appreciated.
Unfortunately all belt drives machines make some of the same noises and time as well. If the time is too long you can always use the quick wash cycle and if you don't like the noise you may have to look for a new washer
I was wondering the SAME thing... It moves SLOW while washing, got me wondering "is my laundry actually getting cleaned, moving THIS SLOW" ...????🤦🏽♀️🥴
Hey buddy a question … when washing a dog bed we are having issues because it doesn’t want to spin and dry the dog bed probably bc the water is sucked up by the dog bed and is throwing it off anyway to fix that
I had an issue with a dryer once that took hours to dry a load. Turned out it was a fairly easy fix which was to replace the broken heating element. Simply open the back of the dryer, disconnect first. Replace the heating element. Super easy. TH-cam video will show you how easy. Unfortunatly the new element burned out within a month. Turned out my dryer exhaust tube that went up into the attic was severely clogged backing up the moisture into the dryer and thus burning out the heating element which is basically just a coil that gets hot similar to a toaster. It was not fun cleaning out the vent tube going all the way through the attic. I had to take it apart and clean it and put it all back together. Then buy a new element, cheap, and fix again. Worked for years afterwards. Good luck. I say all this because you may end up buying a new dryer and have the same issue, if not at first after the heating element burns itself out due to a clogged vent tube.
Really appreciate your review because I bought one a month again and helped a lot with your review.👍🏼 I don't understand the # 2 Con. I didn't find the serial number of this washer machine in the manual book.
Same. It gets my clothes clean but, coming from “industrial” washers at the laundromat, I would’ve loved a more aggressive agitation. It’s adequate though.
Tengo un problema con una lavadora.similar lava y después cuando va a tirar el agua solo la tira un rato y se para la bomba la probé esta bien la resetee y no me.tira.ningun horror no tira agua y debido a eso no centrifuga me.ayudas gracias saludos desde Honduras
I just purchased this, what i noticed is that the fabric softener is being dispensed the same time as the detergent. I pressed run and waites for the water to run, pressed pause and checked the soap and i noticed the fabric sofetener is gone as well. Is there anything im missing?
I just bought this washer and i dont know how it works. Im doing it all right and it only water comes out and then nothing happens. It doesnt start cleaning anything. How this works ?
I replaced a new Samsung non agitator model with this one. Still not fully satisfied with the agitator on this cause it doesn’t move clothing very good and pull it up and down along the agitator that just swishes them around
Horrible agitation. The center agitator is supposed to cycle the load theough. It is very ineffective to have it rotate/counter-rotate, while the drum is spinning in the opposite direction. I like to fill a little extra while loading the clothes. This will not allow it. The start of the cycle drains evrything out. Deep dill.....eh. The cycle times also seem long.
I just purchased this washer. Mine agitates very lightly as well. No matter what cycle I put it on. This results in the clothes not getting as clean as I’m use to. 😢😢
Too funny, I have the same dryer you have there. Actually I'm looking at buying this washing machine b/c I have the Whirlpool washing machine, and it went kaput. Dryer is still kickin. ETA Nevermind, it's not the exact same Whirlpool dryer, but close. And you're right, it does take a while to dry lol.
just bought & am unhappy...loud, vibrates like crazy, too long of cycles. Over an hour for regular wash is ridiculous! Can't return to Home Depot now. Wish I had chosen a different brand. Caveat Emptor
I've had mine for about a month! I went back to Samsung because my last washer was a Samsung and lasted 15 years! I would like to add 2 dislikes to your/my list! First, the manual really sucks! Second, I am trying to figure out what the starred *Extra Rinse under the Temperature button might be. The manual does not explain! When I do white laundry I like to add an extra rinse. For now I wait for the washer to finish, then I add a "Rinse and spin"!
I hear some people keep saying that water doesn't fill up high enough, so is choosing the automatic water level not a good idea? Should I just go for extra high level?
@@thejmcGarage thank you for the answer, I have just one more question to ask. I just got this machine delivered today and there doesn't seem to be a way to drain the water in the middle of cycling. It seems you're able to cancel the cycle by pressing the power button so you can start from beginning but the left-over water itself doesn't seem to be draining unless I finish the cycle until the end. Is this how it is?
@@bigjohn2241 I’m replacing a 13 year old Samsung front loader and yes it uses a lot less water than people are used to. I’m noticing on all these reviews that people are suggesting the Deep water cycle.
Sir i need your help, i just bought the machine like yours, and at the NORMAL model it never RINSE the right, all it did is fill the water in 1/4 tank and never propel and such the water out and spin, pls look at your machine it may do the same that you dont even know, i foud it out due to my cloth still smell like detergent after a month that i did not even know, so i start investigate, that why i found out this issue , pls look at my channel that i posting to see what i am talking about, i am fighting with STUPID SAMSUNG ENGINEER for this issue few days
I have this model for less than 5 years. Replaced suspension rod, double checked hub nut, leveled, calibrated, the same problem, shakes at spinning and add more time in cycle. I gave up. While shopping around and watch a couple of videos, found out that this is the worst washer Samsung. It’s at the bottom of the least to be reliable and dependable.
My washer is super quiet . The problem I have with mine is, and never in my life have I seen another washer do this…… it ties my linens together in a ball !! It’s very frustrating to hang upside down in a washing machine for 30 minutes, untying sheets. It’s giving me Tourette’s!! 😂😂😂😂
I just got one an I think one of my kids broke it!!!😢😮I dont get it i told em not to overstuff the machine, don't put the colors in with the whites my God are you kidding me
Totally agree! Will never ever buy a Samsung again. We have to replace our barely a year old washing machine - multiple issues. Looks nice but is a total piece of crap.

I didn't find the serial number of this washer machine in the manual book.
Hello, just picked this washer today, the agitator seem super slow not aggressive enough... is this normal Thanks
Actually I find the agitation in normal to be pretty aggressive so if it's slow that is not normal
Same. It gets my clothes clean but, coming from “industrial” washers at the laundromat, I would’ve loved a more aggressive agitation. It’s adequate though.
Tengo un problema con una lavadora.similar lava y después cuando va a tirar el agua solo la tira un rato y se para la bomba la probé esta bien la resetee y no me.tira.ningun horror no tira agua y debido a eso no centrifuga me.ayudas gracias saludos desde Honduras
It sounds like the drain pump is not able to pump up the water in the drum, is that correct
The drain pump is good the motor drain Good .
Maybe sensor motor ?
Either a bad belt or a bad shifter that shifts the mode from agitation to spin.
I just purchased this, what i noticed is that the fabric softener is being dispensed the same time as the detergent. I pressed run and waites for the water to run, pressed pause and checked the soap and i noticed the fabric sofetener is gone as well. Is there anything im missing?
That's odd as that should not be happening
I can hardly smell the fabric softner on my cloths. i just got mine yesterday. Any recomendations??samsung washer wa51a5505av/5.1
@pmjr2910 yes DONT USE FABRIC SOFTENER!! Fabric Softners will ruin washers!!
I just bought this washer and i dont know how it works. Im doing it all right and it only water comes out and then nothing happens. It doesnt start cleaning anything. How this works ?
Check your user manual, it should walk you through how to use the machine.
I replaced a new Samsung non agitator model with this one. Still not fully satisfied with the agitator on this cause it doesn’t move clothing very good and pull it up and down along the agitator that just swishes them around
That's my thoughts Dan 😔
I thought this one didn’t have an agitator?
Mine gone crazy. Start's washing normally and in a few minutes put's more water and the cycle it's extremely slow.
How do you soak the clothes???
There is no soak option on this washer
During your spin cycle? Does it vibrate a little? The washing machine doesn’t move… but it vibrates
Horrible agitation. The center agitator is supposed to cycle the load theough. It is very ineffective to have it rotate/counter-rotate, while the drum is spinning in the opposite direction. I like to fill a little extra while loading the clothes. This will not allow it. The start of the cycle drains evrything out. Deep dill.....eh. The cycle times also seem long.
I have the same machine my dislike is spin cycle the clothes come out wetter than my may tag does anyone think clothing is wetter than other washers
I love mine it's so nice to have and just look at
I find mine agitate(s)? The clothes very lightly. Bought it brand new and always found it this way
Me too
I just purchased this washer. Mine agitates very lightly as well. No matter what cycle I put it on. This results in the clothes not getting as clean as I’m use to. 😢😢
Just got...anyone figure out how to turn off sound/chimes?
I don't like the tint window they put on there should be clear easier to see.
Samsung doesn’t want you to see how poorly it agitates 😂
How did you set up
Why does mine do like this it like barley spins
Mine too it looks like it dont spin at all
Anyone know how to troubleshot it
when I restart after pausing, it drains the tub...
If you pause and then change the cycle it will drain out the water by default
Which is best Samsung or Maytag?
I would get Samsung over Maytag any day of the week
Too funny, I have the same dryer you have there. Actually I'm looking at buying this washing machine b/c I have the Whirlpool washing machine, and it went kaput. Dryer is still kickin.
ETA Nevermind, it's not the exact same Whirlpool dryer, but close. And you're right, it does take a while to dry lol.
Hi can you do a delicates cycle on this washer waith 6 shirts t sixed?
Can you do presets? I like to keep the same settings every wash but after every wash it goes back to the default settings
Not on this washer no.
Do you know how to reset this one!?
Leave it unplugged for over a min then plug it back in.
just bought & am unhappy...loud, vibrates like crazy, too long of cycles. Over an hour for regular wash is ridiculous! Can't return to Home Depot now. Wish I had chosen a different brand. Caveat Emptor
How is the washer holding up?
Amazing check out latest year and half review on this unit
Why is it making such sound seems it’s dragging itself to spin
That is the design of this particular wssh system
I've had mine for about a month! I went back to Samsung because my last washer was a Samsung and lasted 15 years! I would like to add 2 dislikes to your/my list! First, the manual really sucks! Second, I am trying to figure out what the starred *Extra Rinse under the Temperature button might be. The manual does not explain! When I do white laundry I like to add an extra rinse. For now I wait for the washer to finish, then I add a "Rinse and spin"!
Hold down your temp button for 3seconds and it will add extra rinse to your load
Does this dry the clothes too? Please reply
Not totally no
How do you unlock this piece of shit? It's been in lock mode for over an hour.
I hear some people keep saying that water doesn't fill up high enough, so is choosing the automatic water level not a good idea? Should I just go for extra high level?
Always go for the extra high level
@@thejmcGarage thank you for the answer, I have just one more question to ask. I just got this machine delivered today and there doesn't seem to be a way to drain the water in the middle of cycling. It seems you're able to cancel the cycle by pressing the power button so you can start from beginning but the left-over water itself doesn't seem to be draining unless I finish the cycle until the end. Is this how it is?
@@xyoopridex yes the only way to truly drain the water in the middle of a cycle is to cancel that cycle and start over
I use auto sensor with this washer and have never had an issue. HE washers are designed to use less water.
@@bigjohn2241 I’m replacing a 13 year old Samsung front loader and yes it uses a lot less water than people are used to. I’m noticing on all these reviews that people are suggesting the Deep water cycle.
Just got mine this day
is there a way to disble the end of cycle signal on this model
No
Sir i need your help, i just bought the machine like yours, and at the NORMAL model it never RINSE the right, all it did is fill the water in 1/4 tank and never propel and such the water out and spin, pls look at your machine it may do the same that you dont even know, i foud it out due to my cloth still smell like detergent after a month that i did not even know, so i start investigate, that why i found out this issue , pls look at my channel that i posting to see what i am talking about, i am fighting with STUPID SAMSUNG ENGINEER for this issue few days
All by design as all modern washers in the normal cycle do a spray rinse
How do you shut off the sounds?
That is not an option on this model
@@thejmcGarage well, Slag! My residents won't be happy about that lol
stand beside it and when its gets to 0 lift the lid asap
I have this model for less than 5 years. Replaced suspension rod, double checked hub nut, leveled, calibrated, the same problem, shakes at spinning and add more time in cycle. I gave up. While shopping around and watch a couple of videos, found out that this is the worst washer Samsung. It’s at the bottom of the least to be reliable and dependable.
I don't like that even at the full load it doesn't fill high enough and it agitates so lightly
Can you change the one hour settings or no ?
No you cannot
How’s it holding up after a year?
It has been amazing with 0 issues whatsoever!! Love this washer
My washer is super quiet . The problem I have with mine is, and never in my life have I seen another washer do this…… it ties my linens together in a ball !! It’s very frustrating to hang upside down in a washing machine for 30 minutes, untying sheets. It’s giving me Tourette’s!! 😂😂😂😂
The noise is weird why would anything new make that noise
How's it holding up?
This washer is still working after 2 plus years
Does your make this noise during the spin cycle and calibration?
m.th-cam.com/video/skH-k7poYt0/w-d-xo.html
Why yes it does and it's the drain pump
Thanks for confirming! I appreciate it.
I just got one an I think one of my kids broke it!!!😢😮I dont get it i told em not to overstuff the machine, don't put the colors in with the whites my God are you kidding me
Next time, I recommend LG.
I can't have one like this in the house, too loud!
It’s very quiet
Hi.
this washer is trash Iit just keep spinning go out balance then go the whole process again of spinning
I Hate these washers.... They take 2 hrs to wash a load of clothes
The most a cycle lenth is an hour and 20mins
Hello
Had our few years and it is junk absolutely junk
THE BODHI12345
Samsung makes the worst washers! Always out of balance.
Totally agree! Will never ever buy a Samsung again. We have to replace our barely a year old washing machine - multiple issues. Looks nice but is a total piece of crap.
