Troubleshooting Your Samsung VRT Washer: Common Problems and Solutions
Having trouble with your Samsung VRT Washer? Here are some common problems that users encounter along with their solutions. This troubleshooting guide will help you resolve issues like insufficient water, vibration, detergent buildup, and more. Simply follow the steps to get your washer back in optimal working condition.
| Problem | Solution |
| Washer Won’t Start | Ensure the door is firmly closed and washer is plugged in. Verify that the water source faucets are open. Press the Start/Pause button to begin the cycle. Make sure the Child Lock isn’t activated. If it is, deactivate it. |
| No Water or Insufficient Water | Turn both faucets fully on and ensure the water hoses are connected properly. Check the hose screens for blockages and clean if necessary. Ensure the door is tightly closed before pressing Start/Pause. |
| Detergent Left in Dispenser | Check that your washer is receiving adequate water pressure. For granular detergent, make sure the Detergent Selector dial is set to the upper position. |
| Vibrating or Noisy Washer | Ensure the washer is placed on a level surface. If it’s not, adjust the washer feet accordingly. Remove the shipping bolts that secure the drum. Ensure the load is balanced inside the drum to reduce vibration. |
| Washer Stops Mid-Cycle | Ensure the power cord is plugged into a live electrical outlet. Check the fuse or reset the circuit breaker if needed. Close the door and press the Start/Pause button again to continue the cycle. |
| Fills with Wrong Temperature Water | Verify the correct temperature setting is selected. Make sure the hoses are connected to the correct faucets (hot and cold). Check the water heater temperature, which should be set to at least 120°F (49°C) for hot water. |
| Door Locked or Won’t Open | Press Start/Pause to stop the washer and unlock the door. The door will remain locked during the Sanitize cycle. Wait a few moments for the lock mechanism to disengage. |

| Leaks Water | Confirm that the door is securely closed. Tighten all hose connections and ensure the drain hose is properly secured. Avoid overloading the washer, as it may cause excess water to spill out. |
