Looking for Answers about samsung 4.0 cu. ft. Washer?

Make sure your machine is level bad things happen when it is not

I don't believe so. The dryer door can be moved to the left or right side of the machine.. I have the same type of problem and if you can make the proper adjustments, put the washer on the left side of the dryer and switch the dryer door to open towards the right or in other words "away from the washer". When all else fails " Blame Your Builder "

Thanks for the question. Water pressure should be between 20 and 120 psi for the WF218ANB to operate properly. If the pressure is too low, it could take a long time for the washer to fill, which could trigger the machine's safety mechanism which helps to prevent water damage from leaks, and shut off entirely. I would suggest consulting with a licensed plumber to determine whether the additional filter would cause the water pressure to drop below the minimum 20 psi.

NO IT WONT CATCH A COLD ON YA!!!!!!!!!! but it has to be located in a room above freezing temperature.meaning inside your home were it is climate controlled and not a barn. there is no way i would raise my thermostat above 68 for a metal machine!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!thats just me.. maybe the person you heard that from instals furnaces for a profit????

The WF218ANB does not have the SilverCare feature, but it does have an internal water heater so you can sanitize your wash with extra hot water.

i had the same problem a few months ago, it was because i had a piece of plastic wrapper stuck in the water line filter. it does this so that it wont damage itself by trying to drain with an obstruction. hope this helps!

Sure, you can move the washer while it's attached to the pedestal, as long as you're careful not to compromise the water or drain connections, or turn it on it's side. It's very heavy and the rubber feet do not slide easily, so you may want to have a handtruck, or more than one person to help. Another option is to use furniture sliders to place under the feet, which usually make it easier to slide across the floor.

Make sure you have enough water pressure going to washer, if you don't this will cause sensor problems. Have a certified repair person work on it or it voids the warranty

Your machine may not be level. Check it by placing a small level on the top of the washer between front corners and then do the same on each side. If it is not level adjust the screw feet on the bottom of the washer until it is level, There is a plastic lock that you have to loosen before you can adjust the feet (see manual)

Yes this is the proper level. That is what HE is all about, using less water and energy to clean your clothes. Don't be alarmed it takes some getting used to.

The WF218 and WF219 are very similar models. The difference is mainly in the design of the door handle: the WF218 has a pocket handle while the WF219's handle is metal, and extends out from the door slightly, similar to the WF328 model. Both the WF218 and WF219 are available in Neat White and Breakwater Blue; both have Samsung's signature Vibration Reduction Technology which significantly reduces noise and vibration, as well as an internal water heater for sanitizing, direct drive motor and stainless steel drum.

The 4.0 cubic foot capacity WF218ANB should be able to wash the equivalent of a king size comforter or 23 standard 24" x 44" bath towels. Many customers find that they're able to wash more in a front loader than in their previous top loader; however, with that said, you may want to try removing a few garments and see if this helps the situation.

Another likely cause of your washer not spinning well is that it is not balanced properly. Please follow this link for instructions on how to balance your washing machine: http://support-us.samsung.com/cyber...

If this does not resolve your issue, please feel free to contact 800-SAMSUNG for additional support.

Thank you for choosing Samsung! The 4.0 cubic foot WF218ANB can wash 23 standard size bath towels (24" x 44") at one time. While Samsung washers, including this model, have many wonderful features, I'm not aware of any machine that can guarantee colors will not fade over time, since color-fastness depends on many factors, including the fabric, dye, detergent, water temperature and exposure to sun and other elements.

I'm sorry to hear you're having this issue. The WF218, like other front loaders, is designed for low water use and there is no control enabling you to increase the amount of water for particular loads. Adding options like Extra Wash and Extra Rinse to a cycle like Heavy Duty is probably the best solution.

Thank you,
Ms. Samsung

The appropriate setting for washing pillows really depends on what material the pillow is made from. I would suggest checking the fabric care instructions on the pillow for the manufacturer's recommendation, since a pillow made from a synthetic material like foam rubber would likely have a very different heat tolerance than a natural fiber.

Once you find the pillow manufacturer's instructions, you could refer to the Fabric Care and Cycle charts in the WF218 User Manual for additional guidance. In addition, Samsung recommends adding a few towels to the load when washing items like pillows in order to prevent the load from becoming unbalanced.

Thank you for the question,
Ms. Samsung

There are a few possible causes of having water remaining in the detergent drawer (which includes the fabric softener compartment) after a wash, the most common of which is that the washer is not properly leveled. If the washer is leaning forward a bit, the compartments may not be able to drain sufficiently.

I'm sorry to hear you're having this issue. Since odor-causing bacteria is introduced to the washer from the home's water supply, the dirty laundry, and other environmental factors, rather than from the washer itself, it may be necessary to clean the filter more frequently in some areas. The WF218 is equipped with an internal water heater, so I would suggest running a Sanitize cycle with bleach and no clothes at least once a month. Wiping down the door and gaskets and washing out the detergent drawer with warm water periodically can help as well. It is also very important to use only the recommended amount of HE detergent to help prevent oversudsing which can lead to odor because the suds can leave residue on the drum which traps bacteria. Though it may appear that the filter is the source of the odor, keep in mind that it is actually just a receptable for what's passing through from other parts of the machine, so a wholistic approach to fighting the odor-causing bacteria is important.

Thank you,
Ms. Samsung

Thank you for the question. The code "Sd" indicates that too much suds has been detected during the wash cycle. The washer is put on hold until the suds are reduced, then the normal operation should resume. When the cycle is finished, End and
Sd codes should blink in turn. To help prevent this code from occurring, be sure to use only HE detergent. If you currently use HE detergent, then you may need to reduce the amount.

The WF218ANB washer without the base is 38" high. Once it's mounted on the 14" high pedestal, it is 52" high.

While ammonia alone should not damage the washer, it is important to note that chlorine bleach, ammonia, or acids (such as vinegar or rust remover) in combination could form hazardous fumes. For this reason, it's important to make sure that there is no residual bleach in the detergent drawer or lines before using ammonia, and after the ammonia is used, be sure it is rinsed thoroughly before using bleach.
