Carefully unpack your Samsung washer and inspect it for any shipping damage. Ensure all items listed in the manual are present. If any damage or missing parts are noticed, contact Samsung customer service at 1-800-SAMSUNG (726-7864).
Choose a suitable location for your washer that meets the following requirements: level floor, no direct sunlight, adequate ventilation, and away from heat sources. Ensure there is enough space for the washer and for proper air circulation.
Your washer requires a 120 Volt, 60 Hz, 15 AMP, AC approved electrical service with 3-prong grounding receptacle protected by a 15 AMP fuse or comparable circuit breaker. It is crucial to ground the washer properly to prevent electrical hazards.
Make sure there are rubber gaskets inside the fittings at both ends of each new water hose. Attach the hoses to the hot and cold water faucets tightly. Turn on the water supply to check for leaks. If leaks are found, tighten the connections.
Securely attach the drain hose to the washer's drain outlet and insert the other end into a drain facility, ensuring it is not kinked or bent. Use a zip-tie or similar support to prevent movement.
Place a level on top of the washer. Adjust the leveling feet at the bottom of the washer by turning them clockwise or counterclockwise to ensure the washer is level. The washer should be stable with no rocking.
After installation, run a Rinse+Spin cycle to ensure the washer is functioning correctly. Check for leaks and ensure the washer is stable during operation.
To ensure accurate weight detection, run the Calibration Mode after installation. This process helps the washer automatically detect laundry weight for optimal performance.
