Quick video of me getting soaked while cleaning the drain filter. It's recommended to do this every time the detergent reservoir gets empty. This is the third time I've done this. It's easy to do but gets water everywhere.
Thanks for posting this. Looks like it's a bit messy to empty this water chamber. Does that emergency drain hose come out a bit further to allow to drain into a bigger bowl? Look forward to seeing more videos on this.
No, that's all you get with the drain hose. I will just be doing the drain filter right before a load of laundry from now on. I will use the dirty clothes to soak up the water 😄
@@srus4663 I drain it and clean the drain filter every time I refill the detergent reservoir. That's usually every 15-20 loads or once every six weeks. I have also given up on using the drain hose. I just put dirty laundry on the floor and unscrew the drain filter. The emergency drain tube is too short to be useful and I ended up getting water everywhere anyway.
Did yours come with a model specific manual? Mine came with manuals for “all washers/dryers”. I want to know all the maintenance things specific to this unit because I know there’s a lot more to it.
We had to download one from Samsung and print it. Like your machine, the manual ours shipped with wasn't for this specific model. The only maintenance I haven't done yet (and will probably never do) is to clean the water inlet screen. That requires moving the machine and removing the water lines.
I think the term AI was added by the marketing people at Samsung. Something to make it sound trendy and cutting edge but without anything to back up the name. The machine appears to just tumble a load of dirty clothes to get an idea on how much it weighs then adds water/detergent accordingly.
@@JPSurratt1986 I think it just estimates the weight of the load and goes from there. If it was smart enough to know what types of materials are in it, I doubt it would need all those cycle options.
