How to Clean the Lint Filter in Your Samsung Washing Machine

Step-by-Step Guide to Cleaning Your Lint Filter

1. Locate the filter cover, typically found on the bottom right-hand corner of the front panel of your machine.
2. Place a shallow tray or towel on the floor to catch residual water, then open the small access door.
3. Carefully pull out the emergency drain tube to drain excess water into your tray, then unscrew the filter cap by turning it counter-clockwise.
4. Remove the filter, rinse it thoroughly under running water to remove lint, hair, and debris, and check the cavity for any trapped coins or buttons.
5. Reinsert the filter, tighten it firmly clockwise, and close the access door securely.

Safe Steps to Try Before Calling a Technician

1. Check the drain hose behind the machine to ensure it is not kinked, crushed, or blocked by debris.
2. Run a 'Tub Clean' cycle or a hot wash with a washing machine cleaner to remove soap scum and mildew buildup inside the drum.
3. Verify that the drain hose is not inserted too deeply into the standpipe, which can cause a siphon effect.
