How to clean your Samsung washer

Keeping your Samsung washing machine clean is important because it prevents odors and mold from accumulating, and keeps your appliance performing the way it should. Let us show you how and when to clean your Samsung front and top load washers, whether you're cleaning surface spots, the pump filter (on front load washers), or running a Self Clean or Pure Cycle. If you have a Bespoke AI Laundry Combo, you can refer to our other maintenance guide for cleaning instructions.
