How to Clean Your Samsung Washing Machine Inlet Filter

Tools and Preparation

1. Turn off the water supply tap connected to the washing machine.
2. Unplug the power cord from the electrical outlet to ensure safety.
3. Keep a dry cloth and a small pair of needle-nose pliers ready.
4. Place a small bucket or towel under the hose connection to catch residual water.

Safe Steps to Try Before Calling a Technician

1. Unscrew the water supply hose from the back of the washing machine by turning the coupling counter-clockwise.
2. Locate the small plastic mesh filter inside the inlet valve opening.
3. Using needle-nose pliers, gently grip the plastic tab of the filter and pull it straight out; do not use excessive force to avoid cracking the plastic housing.
4. Rinse the filter under running water and use a soft-bristled toothbrush to remove mineral deposits or sand.
5. Reinsert the filter firmly into the valve, reconnect the hose, and turn the water tap on to check for leaks.
6. Plug the machine back in and run a test cycle.
