Looking for Answers about samsung 4.3 cu. ft. Steam Washer?

The washing machine door only swings open from right to left. So my setup is washing machine on the left and dryer on the right. The dryer is the only door that can be reversed.

IT OPENS FROM RIGHT TO LEFT .. I HAVE NOT HEARD ANYWHERE OF A KIT TO CHANGE DOOR OPENING

Only for a small window of time during the very begining of the cycles.

Just about enough time for you to notice that you dropped a sock on the floor while loading. But not enough time if you dropped the sock by the upstairs bedroom hamper and don't see it until you get back up from the basement laundry room. (BTDT).

Thanks for the question. Yes, the WF448AAW has an "add a garment" option. To ensure thorough cleaning, Samsung recommends adding items within five minutes of starting the wash cycle.

At this time the WF448 series are not available in Tango Red. Unfortunately, I cannot speculate on future product colors.

Samsung's signature Vibration Reduction Technology™ (VRT™) makes our machines the ideal choice for upstairs installation. What is important is that the washing machine is level and set up properly on a sturdy floor, and that the pedestal is attached correctly, if you choose to use one. You may find that there is a small amount of vibration when the spin cycle starts, but as the spin speed increases, the VRT™ kicks in and vibration is virtually eliminated. For information on closet installation, please review page 9 of both the WF448 and DV448 User Manuals, which can be downloaded from this website.

Thank you for your interest,

I WOULD JUST USE SILVER INSTEAD OF HOT WATER IT SANITIZES... AND SAVES YOU ENERGY!!!!!!!!!!!

I have a WF210 which is quite similar in construction, so here are the numbers for it. The door opens to about 135-140 degrees -- it's hard to tell exactly. The result is the concave window is completely clear of the round access port to the clothes within. That means the door when fully open is about 13.5 inches past the side of the unit. If the washer were installed right smack next to a wall, the door would open just past 90 degrees, maybe 95 and a part of the concave window on the door will block about 3 inches of the 14.5 inch round clothes port. The door is hinged on the left. If it were hinged on the right it would be a LOT more convenient for my laundry room layout, but that's not an option that I know of.

yes,I have washed as little as one shirt,

It should not be necessary to reset the preset cycle settings. Your WF448AAW should default to the factory settings after each use unless the My Cycle feature is being used. I would suggest checking to see whether the My Cycle indicator light is illuminated, which would indicate that feature, which stores the last used options each time it's selected, is activated. To deactivate it, press the My Cycle button so the indicator light is no longer on. If My Cycle is not activated, and the Cycle selector does not automatically return to the default settings, then your machine may require service.

We use HE 2X ultra TIDE in our Samsung wf448aaw front loader. TIDE has a 'dematologist tested' FREE version. FREE does not refer to cost but to the allergens / perfumes that made our son itch / break out in hives. This TIDE 2X ULTRA FREE (currently sold in white bottle with Green cap) is perfect for our son's sensitive skin and it works great to get the clothes clean.

With a little bit of ULTRA DOWNY HE April Fresh (which he is not allergic too), everything feels and smells cleaner than ever compared to our old top loader.

You're correct about the water temperature: the water should be at least 60°F for the detergent to dissolve. The WF448AAW, and other Samsung washers, automatically detects the water temperature, and will add enough hot water to raise the overall temperature to a minimum of 60°F, even when cold is selected.

The WF448AAW features Samsung's Vibration Reduction Technology (VRT) which significantly reduces noise and vibration due to the high spin speeds. In order for the VRT to be most effective, it's important for the washer to be installed properly, and a sturdy floor is a key factor. A rubber mat could help to provide some absorption of vibration, as long as the tile floor under it provides a sturdy base.

Thank you for the question!

Remove shipping bolts and make sure it is level

I'm sorry to hear you have a musty odor in your WF448AAW. This odor is caused by bacteria that is introduced to the washing machine from the water supply, dirty laundry and other environmental factors, and can get trapped in soap residue on the outside of the drum and in the gaskets and dispenser. Besides the standard maintenance procedures recommended for most front load washers, which include running empty sanitize cycles with bleach, wiping down the gaskets and door between loads, cleaning the soap dispenser regularly, and leaving the door open between loads, it is very important to use only the recommended amount of HE detergent. In addition, Samsung has developed other options for treating this issue.

The WF448 is equipped with SilverCare, an option that can be added to most cycles simply by pressing the SilverCare button at the start of the cycle. SilverCare can be used in any temperature water and is safe for colors and delicates. This feature releases silver ions which are highly effective in eliminating 99.99% of bacteria.

To treat the odor that has already developed, I would suggest cleaning your washer thoroughly by wiping it down with a bleach solution, then adding SilverCare to your regular laundry routine moving forward - using it at least twice a week to remove the odor causing bacteria from both the washer and your clothes.

Thank you,
Ms. Samsung
