How to bypass the Samsung top load washer

This should work for any Samsung top loaders

[@David1962S]

I thought there was no possible way this would work. But it did. Still shaking my head, but while my clothes are washing! Thanks man.

[@caritokheim9873]

You are a life saver....not to mention a money and time saver. I kept getting the DC code and couldn't figure it out. The lid wouldn't latch. Obviously, broken. Still I stuck a tiny magnet in there, per your instructions and...voila!!! Back in business! I guess I will just have to leave the small magnet in there indefinitely. Kinda stinks because the washer only 2 years old and is at our lake condo so it is used only a few months out of the year. My last Samsung washer and dryer for sure.

PROTECT THIS MAN AT ALL COST ❤❤❤

[@CynthisizerExplores]

This WAS a big help and it go to the point, thank you!

[@gamingwithjaylenofficial2265]

this worked on my washer but i had to push part of the latch in, in order for the machine to sense that the lid was closed because when i tried bypassing it with a magnet the first time it didnt work

[@EricChad-ch9mh]

this isnt the video i was searching for but it did help me i thought there was something wrong with my washer cause there was no water coming out when i hit start but i relized it took your washer a min to start before the washer started filling up so i went back hit start waited a min and boom it works lol thanks for the video

[@that.fablife]

That used to drive me nuts until I figured out that it was balancing the clothes out before adding water.

[@jackfntwist]

Thank you! I have the same washer :)

Sweet, I'm still trying to figure out how to bypass the lid lock on my GE machine (I've already got a few videos of that machine).

[@davybenne1709]

I FINALLY FIGURED IT OUT! After several months, I reached a conclusion that the washer should be powered on, unplug the son of a bitch, wait about 5-10 minutes, plug it back in and wait for several minutes and BAM!! It’ll unlock on you. Just gotta be patient!! I kept plugging/unplugging, pushing/holding every button possible but I did not try waiting a few minutes. It will stay locked after you power it back up, but wait 5-10 minutes. I can’t clarify that enough. Hope this helps!

[@lashondacoleman6908]

Thank you for your comment! Tried it and it worked

[@LegginMF12]

God Bless you out here doing the real saving! I'm doing this in 42 minutes when the ##%#-#%%$$ pos finishes it's cycle that has zero items in the washer but won't let me cancel it!

[@Freekniggers]

Surely you are joking about not k owing how to pull the plug from the outlet

This was helpful. When I had a Samsung WA48H7400AW I never did that before because I don’t know but on a front load I never do otherwise clothes can spill.

[@aidanalmeida]

Once I see a Samsung top load, will bypass it.

[@everydaychores2879]

How does this work on the new samsung toploaders where the door latch, which is very narrow and deep and on the side of the machine? thanks

[@johnkallas6416]

how do you close the lid so water doesn't splash out once the latch is in the lock position?

[@mtgau2000]

Does this work on older samsung washers? I have the model that has a tub where you can wash your clothes in it.

[@julie8915]

can you a make few Samsung washer videos this weekend?

[@ethanthewasherkid2936]

If i get time, then yes

[@karenjones9961]

I have a top load large drum and the door is locked and it stopped mid cycle with deep water and I can't open the lid. Called technician because it's under Manufacturer's warranty. I tried to reboot it by unplugging and re-plugging it and there were no lights at all on the dash. Machine wouldn't come on and I bought it 4 months ago. Technician coming this week to fix it.

[@ryanwoods4691]

I have an older Samsung top loader, I can’t figure out how to bypass it. It wouldn’t be such a big deal if the lid on mine wasn’t so heavily tinted. I’m glad the newer ones aren’t tinted as heavily.

[@jackfntwist]

I think the older ones you have to place a magnet on top of the stopper and also block the tab from protruding more than half way. 2 steps. There's a video on that.

[@PatriciaHAGAN-rt8zs]

How do I open mine with no power on?

[@will6162]

This does not help if the door lock sensor has failed that is my current problem with this piece of junk

[@Freekniggers]

I actually need to bypass via the wiring or inside the switch itself aswell.

[@imtonibrooks]

I'm 10 months late however I thought it was my sensor as well. I placed the magnet on the actual door and voila! ... it worked. It was as if the magnet behaved as a sensor.

[@user-sw5wk7nx6t]

For a Samsung with 6 wires red and black together, white and green together, brown and blue by itself, this worked for me. Hope it helps.

[@julie8915]

When you start posting Samsung stuff again?🎉

[@ethanthewasherkid2936]

Whenever I get a chance, since I have lots of things to do

[@slwhite1959]

Bummer. My Samsung is only 6 yrs old and the magnet kept the lid open while the lock engaged but washer didn't want to fill for a wash. It kept trying to empty the tub when there was nothing to empty

[@jackfntwist]

yours might have the two step lock. magnet on top and also block the tab that sticks out like half-way. I saw a video on that.

[@kristenyoung7853]

​@@jackfntwistany way you can find what video in your watch history? Mine shows the same model number as in this video, but has /US at the end... and the magnet trick isn't working for mine!

[@jackfntwist]

@@kristenyoung7853 I'm looking now, but if your model / lid looks exactly like this, this should work for you.
