Draining Samsung front load washer

I plan on editing this a little better and uploading another video. Here I am showing at request how to deal with the front drain of a Samsung front load washer. The plug can be a little tough to pry out. To prevent damage I recommend holding the black tube and slowly twisting out the plug.
Hope this helps as it helped me as I haven’t done this since my first video.

I've had this machine for 6 yrs and NEVER knew I had to do this. I finally was so frustrated with loads of laundry coming out "stinky" (I do run a cleaner through the machine and clean the seal regularly) - that I googled and voila,... who knew! Found your video b/c I had a hard time getting that door open - but your demo really helped! drained water all over my floor, but don't care, at least that filter is clean now!

I just got a new Samsung front loader and could not for the life of me get the cap off the tube to drain it. It sure was not as easy as yours! I finally managed to get the thing off. It's nice to have a video at any rate, to actually see how things are done. Thanks.

If you use some sort of pliers and you hold down the hose behind the plastic tube and you pull and twist it should come out. I just did my Samsung washer like that and it came right off

If you still have a smell you can try the self clean option. Carful as the water gets very hot. Do this while the machine is empty.

I’m a senior & don’t have arthritis (yet) but I still have trouble unscrewing the white cap on the hose or taking the large cap of, I don’t have the pedestal so I have to lie down on the floor & use a tray to drain the water.

I know how to take the filter out and clean it, but I searched your video because it is 5° F out right now and my washer drain pipe has frozen. I've had the same clothes sitting in my washer full of water for a week!!😮 I started to pull the white cap off the black tube but it didn't just pop off so I thought "shoot if I pull this off - it might break it" . And then "how do I get the little cap back on?!?" But I watched your video and you just simply placed the cap of back on. So I'm going to try it now. Of course I have a lot more water than a bowl's worth.... I'll let you know how it went. ✔️

PS I trashed a perfectly good front load washer before knowing about the easy access panel in the back.

Ignis is different. There should be a flap/tray that drops. It releases a quart of water once opened. Unless you have water in the tank. As in my video you turn counter clockwise and the water will all leave out that large port.

Caroline Rothenberg if the pump filter does not come off with a tiny bit of elbow grease. Do not try and force it.

[@user-un5vr2gc9q]

To winterize, I assume anti-freeze is still needed - or does this remove all the water that could freeze?

[@dissectingdiy]

I’m guessing RV situation? Typically yes antifreeze. After everything is drained and pumped out. Power on, place in warm cycle, and then place your antifreeze into the detergent tray wait till the drum is pretty full with antifreeze add as necessary. Make sure it does a drain cycle to get the antifreeze into the pump. Should protect your valves and gaskets. I would look into some other videos on how to go about that as seeing it is better than reading it. I haven’t done it in a long time.

[@dissectingdiy]

Does it make a sound like the pump is running? If it’s not working you may need a new pump or the clog could be under the tub where the main drain hose is. As I said in one of my other videos there was a tile stuck in that portion. If you check the port and no water comes out or trickles out chances are your clog is there. If not the clog is along the grey hose that runs along to the actual drain. Hard to say without seeing it or hearing what it’s doing.

[@luckylucky344]

Is there a reason why we have to do this?

[@dissectingdiy]

The filter is designed to Trap large debris that could damage the pump and sometimes make its way into the drain system. Coins, keys, lint, hair can all build up there and acts as a buffer to keep the pump protected and working. It is also helpful in draining the system for repair.

[@simonfisher5073]

Hi - Lately, I seem to have to do this after every cycle or I get an error code OE. I changed the drain pump but can't figure out why this is filling up so fast. It's always the same amount of water too. About 1-2 cups. Any ideas as to why this may happen? Wondering if I should get rid of the drain hose flap...

[@dissectingdiy]

When you get an OE code this is due to water not draining properly or too much water entering the system. The drain procedure here might empty the washing machine. But that OE code could be pointing to a larger problem. You will need to check a few things. First I would check the drain hoses, including the big one on the bottom. I somehow was able to get one of those tile key finders lodged in there. Also check the pump which is located to the left of this filter housing. Make sure this line is clear. Once all drain houses are addressed to not have a clog. You’ll need to check other areas. If that is clear you may have bigger issues that are easily resolved. Such as the water inlet sensor. This could be due to a stuck solenoid on the sensor and it is allowing too much water into the system. Or the sensor is simply faulty electrically, or clogged. Other reasons for the code can be too much detergent but that usually figure a SUDS error but can also generate an OE code. Since you state this filter drain is producing 1-2 cups of water. That seems pretty normal. As the pump can’t get all the water out of the system and some will stay there.

Will this take care of 5 E issue?

[@dissectingdiy]

Possibly, a 5E error does indicate a drain issue. This would be one of the first places I would check. Ensure the filter area is clear and feel to the right and left of the tube in the filter housing. Do you have pets? A lot of hair can get trapped in the tub drain in the grey gasket where it meets the door. My wife’s hair has clogged it up on a few occasions. Then check to make sure the drain hose to the rear where it goes into the plumbing is clear. If this doesn’t work you may need to move the washer and drain it manually. Then flip on its side and check the black hose off the main tub for an obstruction. I had a tile finder sensor trapped in this area that created a 5E error in the past. These thing are really heavy so have someone help.
