How To Install A Samsung Washing Machine
Here’s a step-by-step procedure on how to install a Samsung washing machine…
Step 1. Unpack your washing machine.
Step 2. Open your washer’s door to gain access to the drum.
Step 3. Inside the drum you will find all the washer’s accessories. Take everything out of the drum.
Step 4. Move your washer to a suitable location. You should keep your machine on a firm, level surface. It also should not stay near heat emitting appliances such as furnaces or ovens. It is advised that you keep the machine in an environment with good ventilation.
Step 5. Go to the back of your washing machine.
Step 6. At the back of your washer, you will find some transit bolts attached to it. Remove the bolts using the provided spanner and keep them in a safe place. The number of bolts will vary depending on your washer model. Please refer to your manual to learn the exact number.
Step 7. Cover the transit bolt holes by pushing the provided plastic caps into them.
Step 8. Take one end of your washer’s supplied water inlet hose and connect it to the port at the back of the machine.
Step 9. Connect the other end of the water inlet hose to your home water supply. Ensure that your water supply is turned off when you are doing this.
Step 10. Ensure that all connections are secure in order to avoid water leakage.
Step 11. Next, you will need to install your washer’s drain hose. The hose will already be connected to your machine.
Step 12. Insert your drain hose into your home drain. Ensure that the drain hose isn’t inserted more than 8 inches into your home drain. It also shouldn’t be inserted less than 6 inches into the drain.
Step 13. Ensure that an airtight connection isn’t formed between the home drain and the drain hose (this only applies to standpipe home drains).
Step 14. Plug your washer to a power outlet.
Step 15. Turn on your washer’s power and water supply. Make sure to check for water leakage.
Step 16. Press the power button on your washing machine.
Step 17. For newer washers, you will need to calibrate the machine before doing any laundry. To do this, simply press the Delay End and Temp buttons simultaneously for about 3 seconds. You should then see the code Clb on the display. This means that the machine is in calibration mode.
Step 18. After roughly 3 minutes, the machine will finish calibration. Your washer is then ready for use.
Note: This process works for both front loader and top loader washing machines.
