the Easy Way to Remove Detergent + Softener Tray from Samsung clothes washer. 

FINALLY! I have been trying to get this tray out of my washer for a year and figured I might as well check RU-vid - found your video and it’s now all clean. The amount of gunk and or mold was alarming under the tray. Now I know exactly how to get it out so it can be cleaned monthly.

Thank you so much! Poured detergent in the wrong tray and wanted to make sure it wasn't gonna ruin the machine. Can't belive how much better your method is than the actual user manual for this thing lol

THANK YOU! I have the exact machine & have never been able to get the tray out! This video was so clear to understand!!

Thank you soooo much for this video!! Taking the tray out by unhooking each side one at a time worked for me!!! After many years, I am finally able to clean the trays and behind the trays!

I have to complete you on your video. I couldn't figure it out for the life of me. Now I got it out & it all cleaned. Putting it back in was easier than taking it out. Thank you! 👍

This info was great. I tried the 2 handed method first and couldn't get the tray out. Your method worked like a charm!!

Tried the method of squeezing both sides before I watched your video. Just like you said, I couldn’t get it to come out no matter how hard I tried. Tried your method and voila, it worked. Thank you so much!

Thank you, tried to remove it by pressing in with two index fingers on both sides and there was absolutely no give. This worked like a charm

I never could figure it out before watching this. We have a glass top one Samsung and when I got the drawer out, I saw little wheels in the corners on ours. Yours does not but it didn’t matter because all the other components of my drawer are exactly like yours. I was stunned at the softener build up. The detergent tray was clean but the softener was all built up. Plus the cavity where the drawer inserts was pretty bad too. I cleaned the cavity out with Lysol wipes and cleaned the drawer and drawer inserts with hot water and soap. The drawer popped out just like yours when I did it as instructed in your video and it popped right back in. Thank you!!!

Thank you for this video!! I have a new Samsung and am washing a load and forgot my fabric softener...BUT added detergent to the softener tray!!! Couldn't remove trays using the other video example. You're a life saver! Now back to fixing my mess! ;)

Thank you!!! My fabric softener would no longer dispense, but I didn't know it needed to be cleaned. Wow, what a lot of gunk! But it means so much to me not to have to make a service call just for this.

I was overwhelmed with this task. Read the book but couldn’t get it done. Your video saved the day. Followed instructions and was able to complete the job without problems. Many thanks to you!!

Whew! Thank you! lol. It's been years since I bought this machine and I've never been able to clean all the parts thoroughly until today! I always felt like my fingers weren't strong enough, or that I'd break the plastic, so I gave up and worked around the locking mechanisms (not effective in the long run, at all😐). I tried the manual and other videos in the past , but to no avail. I thought I'd try again today and here we are: I clearly just needed your intuitive mechanical mojo magnificence! Seriously, I'm so grateful you uploaded this video. I finally got to get the gunk out🤢🤮

Thank you!!! No one else shows this. Brilliant

Awesome man! Thank you! My wife and I been fighting with this thing. Thanks for sharing your knowledge!

Thank you so much! Another video didn't help. Yours worked like a charm.

Thanks so very much. Had no idea what was happening to block my softener dispenser. Then, I couldn't remove it to clean it. Your video saved a LOT of time. Drawer removal was easy. And thanks for the tip of cleaning the area that housed the drawer too!

You clearly defined every question or roadblocks in this process. Thanks

Thank you so much. I have a Midea Washer, and the tray is virtually identical to the one in your Samsung, and your method works perfectly. This was extremely helpful.

Thank you SO MUCH for this! I have been fighting with this thing for years and doing your method was so easy that I basically did the, "Really....😐" face. Tytyty

Thanks so much I’ve had my washer for almost 10 years now and I’m just learning how to take this out so thank you so so much. I’ve been cleaning it with a toothbrush lol now I can clean it better.

Thank you! I have an LG. I tried this, and it worked just fine.

Thank you! Really helpful. I literally was just able to take it out without breaking it!

This was EXACTLY what I needed! Thank you!

Thanks. Your method works for me Could not get anywhere with the other method.

TY.TY.TY!!! Tried and tried until we watched your video.

Thanks! Tried other methods; they didn't work for me. Your method worked the first time. 😄😄😄😄😄

Best method to remove the fabric softener compartment. Thanks!

Thank you so much!!! Finally got this off and cleaned!!!

I found that cleaning the blue fabric softner tray insert of the pull out drawer to clean the inside of the dispensing tube in the middle it was pretty convenient to use a good ol' Qtip to get all the residue fabric softner as well as cleaning in-between all the cracks and crevices.

Thanks so much. EXTREMELY helpful

Thank you for this video!! You are awesome 👏🏼

Great tutorial!! Very helpful. Thank you so much

Thank you! This was very helpful!!

You really saved me, ty so much ❤️

Yeah it does hide back there. Thanks my friend!!

This is exactly what I needed. Thank you so much!

Thank you I was able to open mine today.

Thanks Bro you're a god. I wanted to know this and Now I have. Have a great One.

Thank you Sir....just cleaned mine this helped

Thank you thank you. I accidentally put the detergent in the softener tray. Since this isn't my machine I'm not trying to break anything nor hear what sounds like breakage. Very Helpful :-):-)

Thank you!!!! I could not figure out how to get it out to clean. Thank you, thank you, thank you!

You did it right and I appreciate you putting this video out there

You rock! None of the other methods were working for me either.

Thank you, thank you! Great video

Thank you! I spent 30 minutes trying to get this dumb thing out

This helped me so much thank you!!!

Thank you so much. Squeezing both sides is only good if you have very strong fingers.

thank youuuu I couldn’t get it out so I haven’t been able to clean it. Thanks to this i was finally able to and It was absolutely disgusting in there.

Worked great! Thanks!

Thank you I have been trying to figure this out for a month. I should of googled it then.lol

Great video! Thank you

Me has salvado la vida! Gracias

Lifesaver! Thanks!

Thanks, it worked awesome!

That really helped me to remove the tray but now I can’t get it back in. Tried to follow your instructions but I can’t get the tray back in. Now what do I do. HELP!

I just bought a set of Samsung washer and dryer and the trays were used unfortunately... So I am breaking the washing machine down to deep clean it because it has a layer of buildup on it. My question to you and everyone else here in the comments is- What will best clean the build-up off of the tray and the place where the tray slides into?

It worked so well!! Thank you!!!

GREAT JOB!

Thank you sooooo much. You saved me 🥰

Did you notice water build up after taking the tray compartment out when using powder? Or is this a normal thing?

Thank you !

Thank you sir!

Is this supposed to be out or in during use? I have always pushed it back in. is that correct?

Thank you! Very helpful

Thank you so much. I tried squeezing it like the way I'm assuming its supposed to work and mine never wanted to come out.

I'm watching the video, it looks very easy to remove the dispenser, but I can't do it, I'm afraid of breaking it, can you tell me why it gets stuck?

Thnku so much

Thank you

Does anyone know why my fabric softener dispenser releases all softener the second I push the tray back in? Is this how it’s supposed to function? I have the same tray in this video, but swear it didn’t behave this way originally, plus it’s ruining my clothes.

Great🎉!!!tx u!!

Still unable to remove the drawer. Unable to squeeze the sides

Will it harm the washing machine if a fiber gets in the laundry soap dispenser?

THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!

I have the exact washer. Ran across your video trying to remove the bleach dispenser cover in order to clean it. Can you help? Any suggestions?

I wish you were more clear of where to squeeze on the dispenser

Oh ya i got it Thanks

I did that to mine spot less clean but the fabric softener still doesn’t go into the washer when washing it stays in the tray while the Detergent tray is empty

👍🙏

You talk too much just get to the point

Thank you! I appreciate your help. 5-stars! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 😁

Thanks man! Pretty gross when I finally looked up this video. Looks brand new now.

This was so helpful!! Thank you!!!

Thank you!

Thank you!!!

So easy! Thank you

Thank You!
