Essential Maintenance: Cleaning the Filter on Your Samsung Front-Load Washer


How Do I Clean the Filter on a Samsung Front-Load Washer?

If your Samsung front-load washer smells funky, isn’t draining properly, or throws up error codes, the culprit might be a dirty filter. At Texcen Appliance Repair, we often get calls about this simple but essential maintenance step.

Where is the filter located on my Samsung front-load washer?

The filter, also known as the debris filter, is usually located behind a small access panel at the bottom front of your washer. You’ll need a towel and a shallow pan—it might get a little messy!

How do I clean the Samsung washer filter?

Follow these easy steps:

  1. Turn off the washer and unplug it for safety.
  2. Open the access panel at the bottom front of the washer.
  3. Place a shallow container or towel underneath to catch water.
  4. Unscrew the filter cap slowly to let the water drain.
  5. Remove the filter and clean it thoroughly under running water—remove lint, coins, or debris.
  6. Wipe the filter housing with a cloth, then reinsert and tighten the filter cap.
  7. Close the panel and plug the washer back in.

How often should I clean the filter?

Samsung recommends cleaning the filter every 1–3 months, depending on how often you use the washer. Households with pets or heavy laundry loads might need more frequent cleanings.

What happens if I don’t clean it?

Ignoring the filter can cause:

  • Poor drainage or standing water
  • Bad odors
  • Error codes like “5C” or “ND”
  • Potential leaks or flooding
