Washer will not turn on or turns off by itself

Problem:

Washer will not turn on or turns off by itself

 

Solution:

Ensure the power cord is properly plugged in.

Test the outlet with another device (e.g., a lamp) to verify it's functioning.

Inspect the power cord for damage; if damaged, request service.

Verify the laundry room has a dedicated circuit for the washer and dryer.

Check the circuit breaker; reset if necessary.

Do not use a surge protector with the washer.

Request service if the problem persists.

For FlexWash models, ensure the correct Power button is pressed.

Washer will not turn on or turns off by itself

 

  • Make sure the washer is not plugged into a surge protector. Samsung does not recommend using surge protectors with our washers.

  • Request service. If the washer still won't turn on, request service.

Note: FlexWash models have two Power buttons. If you're using a FlexWash model, make sure you are pressing the correct Power button for your desired washer.
