1-1. Concept


Harnesses pure silver’s sanitizing power, nano science, and the state-of-the-art technological competency of SAMSUNG.Two plates of 99.9% pure silver are converted into 4 million nano-sized particles through electrolysis and penetrate into the laundry blended with water. Even in cold water, silver nano-sized particles sanitize and remove 99.99% of odor-causing bacteria.Furthermore, this process sanitizes not only clothes but also the tub, thereby achieving a perfect ‘Superior Clean’ system.

Washing garments with Active Fresh can save about 92% of energy compared to hot water sanitization. Also, Active Fresh Technology prevents damage to delicate clothes compared to sanitizing in hot water.

recovery rate.

. Disconnect hoses and clean screens Hose filter screens may be plugged.

. As your Washer is filling, the water temperature may change as

the automatic temperature control feature checks incoming water

temperature. This is normal.

. While your Washer is filling, you may notice just hot and/or just

cold water going through the dispenser when cold or warm wash

temperatures are selected. This is a normal function of the automatic

temperature control feature as you Washer determines the temperature of

the water.




Problem What To Do

Will Not Unlock

• Check if the door is being pushed out, which may keep it from unlocking.

• Door locks itself when the water level is too high (Drain the unit).

• Check the following with Board Input Test Mode.

Water Level (frequency): Over 23.80 KHz.

→ If so, refer to “Will Not Drain”.

Temperature (Inside Drum): Higher than 60 /140 .℃ ℉ → If so, wait until it drops.

When everything is normal, check PCB connectors and Door Lock Switch.

• Drain manually after removing the plastic drain hose holder.

• Display shows “LO”. Turn off and on the unit.

If “LO” keeps illuminating, check PCB and Door Lock Switch.

• Read Lock Switch and PCB (CN10 & CN7).


• Perform Quick Test Mode.

Check Door Lock.

Check the output voltage of Door Lock Coil.

If it reads 120V, change Door Lock Switch, and if not, change PCB.



Problem What To Do

Will Not Lock

• Door is not aligned or closed properly.

• Perform Quick Test Mode.

Check Door Lock.

Check the output voltage of Door Lock Coil.

If it reads 120V, change PCB, and if not, change Door Lock Connector.


• Read Lock Switch and PCB (CN10).




Problem What To Do

Will Not Spin

• Make sure to close the door completely.

• Check for water left inside the washer. If so, go to “Will Not Drain”.

• Perform Quick Test Mode or Quick Spin Test.

Does the washer spin? (Before the test, empty the unit inside.)

If it doesn’t tumble after the above, change PCB.

When the problem persists, change the motor.

• Check for loose connections at PCB, Water Level Sensor, Motor,

Hall Sensor Wire Harness. (CN8,CN9,CN3)

(Refer to the Component Testing Procedure.)

• Check motor windings resistance.

(CN9 Pin1&3 = 11.6 ohms (at ±7% 20°C/68°F),

Pin1&2 = 11.6ohms (at ±7% 20°C),

Pin2&3 = 11.6 ohms (at ±7% 20°C))



Problem What To Do

Will Not Drain

• Check for any kink on the drain hose. If any, straight it out.

• Check for any restriction in the drain hose.

• Close the door and press the Rotary Cycle Selector. For safety reasons,

the washer does not tumble or spin with the door open.

• When it is freezing outside, check if it is frozen inside the drain hose.

• Go to “ Will Not Spin”.



Problem What To Do

Leaks water.

•Make sure there is no leakage in the inlet hose connections.

• Check for rubber gasket damage due to over-tightening.

• Check standpipe for leakage. Check if the standpipe contributes the leakage.

If so, the standpipe is under-capacity.

In this case, make sure to seal its opening tightly.

• Check waster hose connections.

(Water Supply/ Drain/ Dispenser Hose & Clamp)

• Check if rubber boot is water-tight.

• Check for any kink on the water hoses.



Problem What To Do

Excessive Suds

• Go to “Will Not Drain” and “Will Not Spin” and check the draining.

• Check PCB and Drain Pump for any loose wire connection.

• Perform Quick Test Mode or Board Output Test to drain.

• Use HE (High-Efficiency) or low sudsing detergent specially formulated

for front load washers.

• Reduce the amount of detergent for that specific load size and soil level.

Keep in mind that towel creates more suds generally.

• Reduce the amount of detergent when water is soft,

or laundry is small or lightly soiled.

• Do one more washing cycle with cold water and a table spoon of salt

without detergent.



Problem What To Do

No Key Operation

• Each washing selection deactivates some buttons.

• Child Lock is being activated. To exit, hold down Soil Level Key and Signal Key

simultaneously until it sends out a beeping sound.

• When "End“ illuminates on the display, only the Power button works.
