Here's how."],"attrs_boilerpipe_text":"Keeping your Samsung\nwashing machine\nclean is important because it prevents odors and mold from accumulating, and keeps your appliance performing the way it should. Let us show you how and when to clean your Samsung front and top load washers, whether you're cleaning surface spots, the pump filter (on front load washers), or running a Self Clean or Pure Cycle. If you have a Bespoke AI Laundry Combo, you can refer to our other\nmaintenance guide\nfor cleaning instructions.\nHow to clean your Samsung washer\nKeep it fresh between cleanings\nThe following sections will help you clean specific parts of your washer, but there are a couple of ways to make sure it stays fresh in between routine and monthly cleanings.\nIf you normally wash with cold water, occasionally run a cycle with warm or hot water to help slow down soil and detergent buildup.\nLeaving the washer's door and the detergent drawer open helps air them out and prevents moisture from lingering long enough to let mold or mildew form. If mold or mildew has already formed, see our \nguide for troubleshooting\n.\nRead less\nClean your washer's surface\nRoutinely clean and dry your washer’s surface to remove any residual cleaner or water. If there is a spill, it should be cleaned up immediately, since water or detergent residue can cause surface blemishes on the washer's door. A mild detergent and a damp cloth will remove most spots.\nIf you've already tried that and the spots remain the same, you can use a small amount of\nCerama Bryte\ncooktop cleaner.\nDispense a small amount of mild detergent or Cerama Bryte onto a clean, damp, microfiber cloth.\nClean the affected area by gently scrubbing in a repeating circular motion.\nWhen you're finished scrubbing, use a clean, damp, microfiber cloth to clean off the area.\nUse a clean, dry, microfiber cloth to dry the area.\nRead less\nRun a Self Clean or Pure Cycle to clean the interior\nSelf Clean (also called Pure Cycle or Self Clean+) is a special cycle that prevents mold. It's designed to clean areas of the tub where moisture and detergent residue may accumulate. A normal cycle may not be able to reach these areas. It takes approximately one hour to run Self Clean on a top load washer and four hours to run Self Clean on a front load washer. After the Self Clean cycle begins, the estimated remaining time will display.\nTo run a Self Clean cycle, first make sure the washer is empty.\nPress\nSelf Clean\n, and then press\nStart\n.\nYou don't need to add cleaner when running Self Clean. However, we do recommend using bleach if you already have an existing mold smell (see our\nguide\nfor details).\nIf you notice suds or residue in the washer tub during the Self Clean cycle, we recommend running another Self Clean cycle afterwards. The Self Clean reminder LED will display after 20 washes on a top load model or 40 washes on a front load model. Although you do not need to run a Self Clean cycle immediately after the reminder appears, we recommend that you run one at your earliest opportunity. It's also a good idea to run one at least once per month if you do not do many washes in a month.\nRead less\nClean without a Self Clean or Pure Cycle\nWe recommend using Self Clean as the primary method of cleaning the interior of your washer once per month. However, some models may not have a Self Clean or Pure Cycle. In this case, using any \nwashing machine cleaner\nwill do. Carefully follow the instructions for the cleaner you purchase because they may vary between products.\nRead less\nRemoving existing odors\nRoutine maintenance helps prevent odors from occurring in the first place, but if you already have odors in your washer, you may need a little extra help. See our guide for a\nwasher (or laundry) that smells bad\nfor steps specific for this issue.\nRead less\nClean the detergent drawer\nUsing\ntoo much detergent\ncan gunk up the detergent drawer, causing less to reach your clothes. It can even contribute to odors and other issues with your washer. You can easily keep the detergent drawer clean by wiping it dry after every wash session. You can also deep clean it at least once per month just to be thorough.\nPull and open the washer detergent drawer until it stops.\nRemove the detergent dispensers by lifting them out. Then, rinse them with warm water to remove traces of detergent residue. You can use a soft brush to clean them as well.\nYou'll need to completely remove the drawer to clean the drawer opening.\n• On a front load washer, you can remove the washer detergent drawer by pushing in on the ends of each side of the drawer at the same time and then pulling it out.\n• On a top load washer, pull the drawer out, and then tip it up to remove it.\nClean the detergent drawer opening with a soft cloth or non-metallic brush. Cleaning this often will help prevent detergent buildup.\nWhen you are finished, place the inserts back into the drawer, and then align the drawer with the compartment rails. Push the drawer back to close it fully.\nRead less\nClean the auto dispenser detergent drawer (model WF50A8800AV)\nThis model comes with an auto dispenser detergent drawer, which should be wiped clean after every wash, and deep cleaned once per month. Doing so will prevent\ndetergent build up\n, odors, and other issues with your washer.\nWhile holding down the release lever on the inner part of the detergent drawer, pull the drawer out to remove it.\nRemove the tops of both compartments using the pull tabs. These are located near the back of the lid.\nThen, clean inside the compartments using a soft brush and warm water.\nNext, wipe down the compartments with a dry towel.\nIf there is detergent residue in the compartments, you may pour lukewarm water into the compartments to dissolve the residue. Then, clean the compartment interior and rear valve thoroughly with a soft brush and warm water to remove the residue.\nUse a soft brush to clean the drawer recess as well.\nWhen you’re finished, replace the tops of both compartments, making sure that they form a snug seal all the way around the lip. Then, reinsert the drawer back into the washer.\nNote\n: Make sure the drawer recess is completely dry before reinserting the drawer.\nRead less\nClean the washer pump filter (front load only)\nCaution\nIf you recently ran a hot cycle (Self Clean, Pure Cycle, or Sanitize), the water in the washer will be very hot. Allow one hour to elapse so the water can cool and to avoid possible injury.\nThe pump filter on your front load washer, also called the debris filter, helps filter lint and other debris from entering the washer's drain system. (Top load washers do not have a pump filter.) We recommend cleaning the pump filter at least once per month or approximately every 40 washes, whichever is more frequent. Keeping the pump filter clean will help prevent odors, reduce the likelihood of mold and mildew, and ensure your washer drains properly.\nTo begin, locate the pump filter access panel. It may be located near the bottom of your washer. Open the panel by pressing the top or center of the panel.\nLocate the rubber drain hose and prepare to drain the water. You will need a towel and a container large enough for the amount of water in the washer, like an oil drain pan.\nRemove the cap from the drain hose by holding the hose and twisting the cap. The cap can be tough to remove because it forms an airtight seal, so make sure to use a little elbow grease. Once the cap is removed, drain the water.\nOnce all the water is drained, remove the washer pump filter by twisting it counter-clockwise.\nNote\n: On some Samsung washers, the washer pump filter (A) is similar to the cap on a medicine bottle. Push in and twist to remove.\nUsing a small toothbrush or other similar soft bristle brush, wash any dirt or other materials from the pump filter. Inspect the drain pump impeller located inside the pump filter housing to make sure it is clean.\nOnce the pump filter is clean, reinsert it and twist it clockwise until it's secured in the vertical position.\nPlace the drain hose's cap firmly back onto the drain hose and secure the drain hose in the mounted clip before closing the access panel.\nNote\n: If these steps don't match your front load washing machine, please refer to your\nuser manual\n.\nRead less","attrs_markdown":"[×]()\n\nWelcome to the\n\n!

Let us show you how and when to clean your Samsung front and top load washers, whether you're cleaning surface spots, the pump filter (on front load washers), or running a Self Clean or Pure Cycle. If you have a Bespoke AI Laundry Combo, you can refer to our other [**maintenance guide**](https:\/\/www.samsung.com\/us\/support\/answer\/ANS10003206\/) for cleaning instructions.\n\n![Hands wiping the interior drum and rubber seal of a Samsung washing machine with a blue cloth.](https:\/\/image-stgus.samsung.com\/SamsungUS\/support\/solutions\/home-appliances\/washers\/US_ANS_HA_WSH_How-to-clean-your-Samsung-washing-machine.jpg)\n\n![Hands wiping the interior drum and rubber seal of a Samsung washing machine with a blue cloth.](https:\/\/image-stgus.samsung.com\/SamsungUS\/support\/solutions\/home-appliances\/washers\/US_ANS_HA_WSH_How-to-clean-your-Samsung-washing-machine.jpg)\n\n### How to clean your Samsung washer\n\n## Keep it fresh between cleanings\n![Samsung Washer with door open](https:\/\/image-us.samsung.com\/SamsungUS\/support\/home-appliances\/washers\/ans10003197\/WASH_Routine-cleaning.jpg)\n\nThe following sections will help you clean specific parts of your washer, but there are a couple of ways to make sure it stays fresh in between routine and monthly cleanings.\n\nIf you normally wash with cold water, occasionally run a cycle with warm or hot water to help slow down soil and detergent buildup.\n\nLeaving the washer's door and the detergent drawer open helps air them out and prevents moisture from lingering long enough to let mold or mildew form. If mold or mildew has already formed, see our [**guide for troubleshooting**](http:\/\/www.samsung.com\/us\/support\/troubleshooting\/TSG01110749\/).\n\nRead less\n\n## Clean your washer's surface\n![Person cleaning washer surface with microfiber cloth](https:\/\/image-us.samsung.com\/SamsungUS\/support\/home-appliances\/washers\/ans10003197\/WASH_Clean-your-washers-surface.jpg)\n\nRoutinely clean and dry your washer’s surface to remove any residual cleaner or water. If there is a spill, it should be cleaned up immediately, since water or detergent residue can cause surface blemishes on the washer's door. A mild detergent and a damp cloth will remove most spots.\n\nIf you've already tried that and the spots remain the same, you can use a small amount of [**Cerama Bryte**](http:\/\/ceramabryte.com\/) cooktop cleaner.\n\n1. Dispense a small amount of mild detergent or Cerama Bryte onto a clean, damp, microfiber cloth.\n2. Clean the affected area by gently scrubbing in a repeating circular motion.\n3. When you're finished scrubbing, use a clean, damp, microfiber cloth to clean off the area.\n4. Use a clean, dry, microfiber cloth to dry the area.\n\nRead less\n\n## Run a Self Clean or Pure Cycle to clean the interior\nSelf Clean (also called Pure Cycle or Self Clean+) is a special cycle that prevents mold. It's designed to clean areas of the tub where moisture and detergent residue may accumulate. A normal cycle may not be able to reach these areas. It takes approximately one hour to run Self Clean on a top load washer and four hours to run Self Clean on a front load washer. After the Self Clean cycle begins, the estimated remaining time will display.\n\n1. To run a Self Clean cycle, first make sure the washer is empty.\n2. Press **Self Clean**, and then press **Start**.\n3. You don't need to add cleaner when running Self Clean. However, we do recommend using bleach if you already have an existing mold smell (see our [**guide**](http:\/\/www.samsung.com\/us\/support\/troubleshooting\/TSG01110749\/) for details).\n\nIf you notice suds or residue in the washer tub during the Self Clean cycle, we recommend running another Self Clean cycle afterwards. The Self Clean reminder LED will display after 20 washes on a top load model or 40 washes on a front load model. Although you do not need to run a Self Clean cycle immediately after the reminder appears, we recommend that you run one at your earliest opportunity. It's also a good idea to run one at least once per month if you do not do many washes in a month.\n\nRead less\n\n## Clean without a Self Clean or Pure Cycle\n![A group of third-party washer cleaning products](https:\/\/image-us.samsung.com\/SamsungUS\/support\/home-appliances\/washers\/ans10003197\/WASH_Cleaning-without-selfClean1.jpg)\n\nWe recommend using Self Clean as the primary method of cleaning the interior of your washer once per month. However, some models may not have a Self Clean or Pure Cycle. In this case, using any [**washing machine cleaner**](https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/bestsellers\/hpc\/15524362011) will do.

See our guide for a [**washer (or laundry) that smells bad**](https:\/\/www.samsung.com\/us\/support\/troubleshooting\/TSG01108629\/) for steps specific for this issue.\n\nRead less\n\n## Clean the detergent drawer\n![Open detergent drawer of a Samsung washing machine showing compartments for softener and detergent](https:\/\/image-us.samsung.com\/SamsungUS\/support\/solutions\/home-appliances\/washers\/Clean-the-detergent-drawer.jpg)\n\nUsing [**too much detergent**](https:\/\/www.samsung.com\/us\/support\/answer\/ANS00031847\/) can gunk up the detergent drawer, causing less to reach your clothes. It can even contribute to odors and other issues with your washer. You can easily keep the detergent drawer clean by wiping it dry after every wash session. You can also deep clean it at least once per month just to be thorough.\n\n1. Pull and open the washer detergent drawer until it stops.  \n      \n    ![Illustration of detergent drawing being pulled out](https:\/\/image-us.samsung.com\/SamsungUS\/support\/solutions\/home-appliances\/washers\/Clean-the-detergent-drawer_1-1.jpg)\n2. Remove the detergent dispensers by lifting them out. Then, rinse them with warm water to remove traces of detergent residue. You can use a soft brush to clean them as well.  \n      \n    ![Illustration showing detergent drawer components being removed for cleaning, with arrows indicating upward movement](https:\/\/image-us.samsung.com\/SamsungUS\/support\/solutions\/home-appliances\/washers\/Clean-the-detergent-drawer_2.jpg)\n3. You'll need to completely remove the drawer to clean the drawer opening.  \n      \n    • On a front load washer, you can remove the washer detergent drawer by pushing in on the ends of each side of the drawer at the same time and then pulling it out.  \n      \n    ![Illustration showing the removal of the detergent drawer compartments from a Samsung washing machine](https:\/\/image-us.samsung.com\/SamsungUS\/support\/solutions\/home-appliances\/washers\/Clean-the-detergent-drawer_3-1.jpg)  \n      \n    • On a top load washer, pull the drawer out, and then tip it up to remove it.\n4. Clean the detergent drawer opening with a soft cloth or non-metallic brush. Cleaning this often will help prevent detergent buildup.  \n      \n    ![Illustration of detergent drawer being brushed](https:\/\/image-us.samsung.com\/SamsungUS\/support\/solutions\/home-appliances\/washers\/Clean-the-detergent-drawer_4-1.jpg)\n5. When you are finished, place the inserts back into the drawer, and then align the drawer with the compartment rails. Push the drawer back to close it fully.  \n      \n    ![Illustration of detergent drawer being pushed back in](https:\/\/image-us.samsung.com\/SamsungUS\/support\/solutions\/home-appliances\/washers\/Clean-the-detergent-drawer_5-1.jpg)\n\nRead less\n\n## Clean the auto dispenser detergent drawer (model WF50A8800AV)\nThis model comes with an auto dispenser detergent drawer, which should be wiped clean after every wash, and deep cleaned once per month. Doing so will prevent [**detergent build up**](https:\/\/www.samsung.com\/us\/support\/answer\/ANS00031847\/), odors, and other issues with your washer.\n\n1. While holding down the release lever on the inner part of the detergent drawer, pull the drawer out to remove it.  \n      \n    ![Illustration of auto detergent and softener drawer being pulled out](https:\/\/image-us.samsung.com\/SamsungUS\/support\/solutions\/home-appliances\/washers\/Clean-the-auto-dispenser-detergent-drawer_1.jpg)\n2.

Next, wipe down the compartments with a dry towel.\n5. If there is detergent residue in the compartments, you may pour lukewarm water into the compartments to dissolve the residue. Then, clean the compartment interior and rear valve thoroughly with a soft brush and warm water to remove the residue.\n6. Use a soft brush to clean the drawer recess as well.  \n      \n    ![Illustration showing a toothbrush being used to clean the auto dispenser detergent drawer slot in a washing machine.](https:\/\/image-us.samsung.com\/SamsungUS\/support\/solutions\/home-appliances\/washers\/Clean-the-auto-dispenser-detergent-drawer_6.jpg)\n7. When you’re finished, replace the tops of both compartments, making sure that they form a snug seal all the way around the lip. Then, reinsert the drawer back into the washer.  \n      \n    **Note**: Make sure the drawer recess is completely dry before reinserting the drawer.\n\nRead less\n\n## Clean the washer pump filter (front load only)\nCaution\n\nIf you recently ran a hot cycle (Self Clean, Pure Cycle, or Sanitize), the water in the washer will be very hot. Allow one hour to elapse so the water can cool and to avoid possible injury.\n\n![]()\n\n![Location of the pump filter on a Samsung Washing Machine](https:\/\/image-us.samsung.com\/SamsungUS\/support\/home-appliances\/washers\/ans10003197\/WASH_Clean-the-washer-pump-filter-step1.jpg)\n\nThe pump filter on your front load washer, also called the debris filter, helps filter lint and other debris from entering the washer's drain system. (Top load washers do not have a pump filter.) We recommend cleaning the pump filter at least once per month or approximately every 40 washes, whichever is more frequent. Keeping the pump filter clean will help prevent odors, reduce the likelihood of mold and mildew, and ensure your washer drains properly.\n\n1. To begin, locate the pump filter access panel. It may be located near the bottom of your washer. Open the panel by pressing the top or center of the panel.  \n    ![](https:\/\/image-us.samsung.com\/SamsungUS\/support\/solutions\/home-appliances\/washers\/Clean-the-pump-filter_1.jpg)\n2. Locate the rubber drain hose and prepare to drain the water. You will need a towel and a container large enough for the amount of water in the washer, like an oil drain pan.\n3. Remove the cap from the drain hose by holding the hose and twisting the cap. The cap can be tough to remove because it forms an airtight seal, so make sure to use a little elbow grease. Once the cap is removed, drain the water.  \n    ![Illustration of drain hose cap being removed](https:\/\/image-us.samsung.com\/SamsungUS\/support\/solutions\/home-appliances\/washers\/Clean-the-pump-filter_3.jpg)\n4. Once all the water is drained, remove the washer pump filter by twisting it counter-clockwise.  \n      \n    **Note**: On some Samsung washers, the washer pump filter (A) is similar to the cap on a medicine bottle. Push in and twist to remove.  \n    ![An illustration showing the washer pump filter being opened by turning it counterclockwise with an arrow indicating the direction](https:\/\/image-us.samsung.com\/SamsungUS\/support\/solutions\/home-appliances\/washers\/Clean-the-pump-filter_4.jpg)\n5. Using a small toothbrush or other similar soft bristle brush, wash any dirt or other materials from the pump filter. Inspect the drain pump impeller located inside the pump filter housing to make sure it is clean.  \n    ![Illustration showing a pump filter being cleaned with water and a toothbrush under a sink faucet](https:\/\/image-us.samsung.com\/SamsungUS\/support\/solutions\/home-appliances\/washers\/Clean-the-pump-filter_5.jpg)\n6. Once the pump filter is clean, reinsert it and twist it clockwise until it's secured in the vertical position.  \n    ![Illustration showing a washing machine pump filter being reinserted and tightened, indicated by a blue arrow pointing clockwise](https:\/\/image-us.samsung.com\/SamsungUS\/support\/solutions\/home-appliances\/washers\/Clean-the-pump-filter_6.jpg)\n7. Place the drain hose's cap firmly back onto the drain hose and secure the drain hose in the mounted clip before closing the access panel.  \n      \n    **Note**: If these steps don't match your front load washing machine, please refer to your [**user manual**](https:\/\/www.samsung.com\/us\/support\/downloads\/).  \n    ![Illustration showing the placement of the hose back into the compartment after cleaning](https:\/\/image-us.samsung.com\/SamsungUS\/support\/solutions\/home-appliances\/washers\/Clean-the-pump-filter_7.jpg)\n\nRead less\n\nRecommended Articles\n\n[![Clean and maintain the Bespoke AI Laundry Combo](https:\/\/image-stgus.samsung.com\/SamsungUS\/support\/solutions\/home-appliances\/washers\/US_ANS_HA_COMBO_Clean-and-maintain-your-Samsung-Bespoke-AI-Laundry-Combo.jpg) Clean and maintain the Bespoke AI Laundry Combo Clean and maintain the Bespoke AI Laundry Combo Your Samsung Bespoke AI Laundry Combo keeps your clothing fresh and clean, but you should also maintain the appliance itself to keep it fresh and working properly.

If you have a Bespoke AI Laundry Combo, you can refer to our other [**maintenance guide**](https:\/\/www.samsung.com\/us\/support\/answer\/ANS10003206\/) for cleaning instructions.\n\n![Hands wiping the interior drum and rubber seal of a Samsung washing machine with a blue cloth.](https:\/\/image-stgus.samsung.com\/SamsungUS\/support\/solutions\/home-appliances\/washers\/US_ANS_HA_WSH_How-to-clean-your-Samsung-washing-machine.jpg)\n\n![Hands wiping the interior drum and rubber seal of a Samsung washing machine with a blue cloth.](https:\/\/image-stgus.samsung.com\/SamsungUS\/support\/solutions\/home-appliances\/washers\/US_ANS_HA_WSH_How-to-clean-your-Samsung-washing-machine.jpg)\n\n### How to clean your Samsung washer\n\n![Samsung Washer with door open](https:\/\/image-us.samsung.com\/SamsungUS\/support\/home-appliances\/washers\/ans10003197\/WASH_Routine-cleaning.jpg)\n\nThe following sections will help you clean specific parts of your washer, but there are a couple of ways to make sure it stays fresh in between routine and monthly cleanings.\n\nIf you normally wash with cold water, occasionally run a cycle with warm or hot water to help slow down soil and detergent buildup.\n\nLeaving the washer's door and the detergent drawer open helps air them out and prevents moisture from lingering long enough to let mold or mildew form. If mold or mildew has already formed, see our [**guide for troubleshooting**](http:\/\/www.samsung.com\/us\/support\/troubleshooting\/TSG01110749\/).\n\nRead less\n\n![Person cleaning washer surface with microfiber cloth](https:\/\/image-us.samsung.com\/SamsungUS\/support\/home-appliances\/washers\/ans10003197\/WASH_Clean-your-washers-surface.jpg)\n\nRoutinely clean and dry your washer’s surface to remove any residual cleaner or water. If there is a spill, it should be cleaned up immediately, since water or detergent residue can cause surface blemishes on the washer's door. A mild detergent and a damp cloth will remove most spots.\n\nIf you've already tried that and the spots remain the same, you can use a small amount of [**Cerama Bryte**](http:\/\/ceramabryte.com\/) cooktop cleaner.\n\n1. Dispense a small amount of mild detergent or Cerama Bryte onto a clean, damp, microfiber cloth.\n2. Clean the affected area by gently scrubbing in a repeating circular motion.\n3. When you're finished scrubbing, use a clean, damp, microfiber cloth to clean off the area.\n4. Use a clean, dry, microfiber cloth to dry the area.\n\nRead less\n\nSelf Clean (also called Pure Cycle or Self Clean+) is a special cycle that prevents mold. It's designed to clean areas of the tub where moisture and detergent residue may accumulate. A normal cycle may not be able to reach these areas. It takes approximately one hour to run Self Clean on a top load washer and four hours to run Self Clean on a front load washer. After the Self Clean cycle begins, the estimated remaining time will display.\n\n1. To run a Self Clean cycle, first make sure the washer is empty.\n2. Press **Self Clean**, and then press **Start**.\n3. You don't need to add cleaner when running Self Clean. However, we do recommend using bleach if you already have an existing mold smell (see our [**guide**](http:\/\/www.samsung.com\/us\/support\/troubleshooting\/TSG01110749\/) for details).\n\nIf you notice suds or residue in the washer tub during the Self Clean cycle, we recommend running another Self Clean cycle afterwards. The Self Clean reminder LED will display after 20 washes on a top load model or 40 washes on a front load model. Although you do not need to run a Self Clean cycle immediately after the reminder appears, we recommend that you run one at your earliest opportunity. It's also a good idea to run one at least once per month if you do not do many washes in a month.\n\nRead less\n\n![A group of third-party washer cleaning products](https:\/\/image-us.samsung.com\/SamsungUS\/support\/home-appliances\/washers\/ans10003197\/WASH_Cleaning-without-selfClean1.jpg)\n\nWe recommend using Self Clean as the primary method of cleaning the interior of your washer once per month. However, some models may not have a Self Clean or Pure Cycle. In this case, using any [**washing machine cleaner**](https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/bestsellers\/hpc\/15524362011) will do.

Boilerpipe Text	Keeping your Samsung washing machine clean is important because it prevents odors and mold from accumulating, and keeps your appliance performing the way it should. Let us show you how and when to clean your Samsung front and top load washers, whether you're cleaning surface spots, the pump filter (on front load washers), or running a Self Clean or Pure Cycle. If you have a Bespoke AI Laundry Combo, you can refer to our other maintenance guide for cleaning instructions. How to clean your Samsung washer Keep it fresh between cleanings The following sections will help you clean specific parts of your washer, but there are a couple of ways to make sure it stays fresh in between routine and monthly cleanings. If you normally wash with cold water, occasionally run a cycle with warm or hot water to help slow down soil and detergent buildup. Leaving the washer's door and the detergent drawer open helps air them out and prevents moisture from lingering long enough to let mold or mildew form. If mold or mildew has already formed, see our guide for troubleshooting . Read less Clean your washer's surface Routinely clean and dry your washer’s surface to remove any residual cleaner or water. If there is a spill, it should be cleaned up immediately, since water or detergent residue can cause surface blemishes on the washer's door. A mild detergent and a damp cloth will remove most spots. If you've already tried that and the spots remain the same, you can use a small amount of Cerama Bryte cooktop cleaner. Dispense a small amount of mild detergent or Cerama Bryte onto a clean, damp, microfiber cloth. Clean the affected area by gently scrubbing in a repeating circular motion. When you're finished scrubbing, use a clean, damp, microfiber cloth to clean off the area. Use a clean, dry, microfiber cloth to dry the area. Read less Run a Self Clean or Pure Cycle to clean the interior Self Clean (also called Pure Cycle or Self Clean+) is a special cycle that prevents mold. It's designed to clean areas of the tub where moisture and detergent residue may accumulate. A normal cycle may not be able to reach these areas. It takes approximately one hour to run Self Clean on a top load washer and four hours to run Self Clean on a front load washer. After the Self Clean cycle begins, the estimated remaining time will display. To run a Self Clean cycle, first make sure the washer is empty. Press Self Clean , and then press Start . You don't need to add cleaner when running Self Clean. However, we do recommend using bleach if you already have an existing mold smell (see our guide for details). If you notice suds or residue in the washer tub during the Self Clean cycle, we recommend running another Self Clean cycle afterwards. The Self Clean reminder LED will display after 20 washes on a top load model or 40 washes on a front load model. Although you do not need to run a Self Clean cycle immediately after the reminder appears, we recommend that you run one at your earliest opportunity. It's also a good idea to run one at least once per month if you do not do many washes in a month. Read less Clean without a Self Clean or Pure Cycle We recommend using Self Clean as the primary method of cleaning the interior of your washer once per month. However, some models may not have a Self Clean or Pure Cycle. In this case, using any washing machine cleaner will do. Carefully follow the instructions for the cleaner you purchase because they may vary between products.

Let us show you how and when to clean your Samsung front and top load washers, whether you're cleaning surface spots, the pump filter (on front load washers), or running a Self Clean or Pure Cycle. If you have a Bespoke AI Laundry Combo, you can refer to our other [maintenance guide](https://www.samsung.com/us/support/answer/ANS10003206/) for cleaning instructions. ![Hands wiping the interior drum and rubber seal of a Samsung washing machine with a blue cloth.](https://image-stgus.samsung.com/SamsungUS/support/solutions/home-appliances/washers/US_ANS_HA_WSH_How-to-clean-your-Samsung-washing-machine.jpg) ![Hands wiping the interior drum and rubber seal of a Samsung washing machine with a blue cloth.](https://image-stgus.samsung.com/SamsungUS/support/solutions/home-appliances/washers/US_ANS_HA_WSH_How-to-clean-your-Samsung-washing-machine.jpg) ### How to clean your Samsung washer ## Keep it fresh between cleanings ![Samsung Washer with door open](https://image-us.samsung.com/SamsungUS/support/home-appliances/washers/ans10003197/WASH_Routine-cleaning.jpg) The following sections will help you clean specific parts of your washer, but there are a couple of ways to make sure it stays fresh in between routine and monthly cleanings. If you normally wash with cold water, occasionally run a cycle with warm or hot water to help slow down soil and detergent buildup. Leaving the washer's door and the detergent drawer open helps air them out and prevents moisture from lingering long enough to let mold or mildew form. If mold or mildew has already formed, see our [guide for troubleshooting](http://www.samsung.com/us/support/troubleshooting/TSG01110749/). Read less ## Clean your washer's surface ![Person cleaning washer surface with microfiber cloth](https://image-us.samsung.com/SamsungUS/support/home-appliances/washers/ans10003197/WASH_Clean-your-washers-surface.jpg) Routinely clean and dry your washer’s surface to remove any residual cleaner or water. If there is a spill, it should be cleaned up immediately, since water or detergent residue can cause surface blemishes on the washer's door. A mild detergent and a damp cloth will remove most spots. If you've already tried that and the spots remain the same, you can use a small amount of [Cerama Bryte](http://ceramabryte.com/) cooktop cleaner. 1. Dispense a small amount of mild detergent or Cerama Bryte onto a clean, damp, microfiber cloth. 2. Clean the affected area by gently scrubbing in a repeating circular motion. 3. When you're finished scrubbing, use a clean, damp, microfiber cloth to clean off the area. 4. Use a clean, dry, microfiber cloth to dry the area. Read less ## Run a Self Clean or Pure Cycle to clean the interior Self Clean (also called Pure Cycle or Self Clean+) is a special cycle that prevents mold. It's designed to clean areas of the tub where moisture and detergent residue may accumulate. A normal cycle may not be able to reach these areas. It takes approximately one hour to run Self Clean on a top load washer and four hours to run Self Clean on a front load washer. After the Self Clean cycle begins, the estimated remaining time will display. 1. To run a Self Clean cycle, first make sure the washer is empty. 2. Press Self Clean, and then press Start. 3. You don't need to add cleaner when running Self Clean. However, we do recommend using bleach if you already have an existing mold smell (see our [guide](http://www.samsung.com/us/support/troubleshooting/TSG01110749/) for details). If you notice suds or residue in the washer tub during the Self Clean cycle, we recommend running another Self Clean cycle afterwards. The Self Clean reminder LED will display after 20 washes on a top load model or 40 washes on a front load model. Although you do not need to run a Self Clean cycle immediately after the reminder appears, we recommend that you run one at your earliest opportunity. It's also a good idea to run one at least once per month if you do not do many washes in a month.

However, some models may not have a Self Clean or Pure Cycle. In this case, using any [washing machine cleaner](https://www.amazon.com/gp/bestsellers/hpc/15524362011) will do. Carefully follow the instructions for the cleaner you purchase because they may vary between products.

See our guide for a [washer (or laundry) that smells bad](https://www.samsung.com/us/support/troubleshooting/TSG01108629/) for steps specific for this issue. Read less ## Clean the detergent drawer ![Open detergent drawer of a Samsung washing machine showing compartments for softener and detergent](https://image-us.samsung.com/SamsungUS/support/solutions/home-appliances/washers/Clean-the-detergent-drawer.jpg) Using [too much detergent](https://www.samsung.com/us/support/answer/ANS00031847/) can gunk up the detergent drawer, causing less to reach your clothes. It can even contribute to odors and other issues with your washer. You can easily keep the detergent drawer clean by wiping it dry after every wash session. You can also deep clean it at least once per month just to be thorough. 1. Pull and open the washer detergent drawer until it stops. ![Illustration of detergent drawing being pulled out](https://image-us.samsung.com/SamsungUS/support/solutions/home-appliances/washers/Clean-the-detergent-drawer_1-1.jpg) 2. Remove the detergent dispensers by lifting them out. Then, rinse them with warm water to remove traces of detergent residue. You can use a soft brush to clean them as well. ![Illustration showing detergent drawer components being removed for cleaning, with arrows indicating upward movement](https://image-us.samsung.com/SamsungUS/support/solutions/home-appliances/washers/Clean-the-detergent-drawer_2.jpg) 3. You'll need to completely remove the drawer to clean the drawer opening. • On a front load washer, you can remove the washer detergent drawer by pushing in on the ends of each side of the drawer at the same time and then pulling it out. ![Illustration showing the removal of the detergent drawer compartments from a Samsung washing machine](https://image-us.samsung.com/SamsungUS/support/solutions/home-appliances/washers/Clean-the-detergent-drawer_3-1.jpg) • On a top load washer, pull the drawer out, and then tip it up to remove it. 4. Clean the detergent drawer opening with a soft cloth or non-metallic brush. Cleaning this often will help prevent detergent buildup. ![Illustration of detergent drawer being brushed](https://image-us.samsung.com/SamsungUS/support/solutions/home-appliances/washers/Clean-the-detergent-drawer_4-1.jpg) 5. When you are finished, place the inserts back into the drawer, and then align the drawer with the compartment rails. Push the drawer back to close it fully. ![Illustration of detergent drawer being pushed back in](https://image-us.samsung.com/SamsungUS/support/solutions/home-appliances/washers/Clean-the-detergent-drawer_5-1.jpg) Read less ## Clean the auto dispenser detergent drawer (model WF50A8800AV) This model comes with an auto dispenser detergent drawer, which should be wiped clean after every wash, and deep cleaned once per month. Doing so will prevent [detergent build up](https://www.samsung.com/us/support/answer/ANS00031847/), odors, and other issues with your washer. 1. While holding down the release lever on the inner part of the detergent drawer, pull the drawer out to remove it. ![Illustration of auto detergent and softener drawer being pulled out](https://image-us.samsung.com/SamsungUS/support/solutions/home-appliances/washers/Clean-the-auto-dispenser-detergent-drawer_1.jpg) 2. Remove the tops of both compartments using the pull tabs. These are located near the back of the lid. ![Illustration of auto detergent and softener being pulled out](https://image-us.samsung.com/SamsungUS/support/home-appliances/washers/ans10003197/WASH_Clean-autodetergent-autosoftner-drawer-step2.png) 3. Then, clean inside the compartments using a soft brush and warm water. ![Illustration of Auto detergent and Auto softener drawer being cleaned](https://image-us.samsung.com/SamsungUS/support/solutions/home-appliances/washers/Clean-the-auto-dispenser-detergent-drawer_3.jpg) 4. Next, wipe down the compartments with a dry towel. 5. If there is detergent residue in the compartments, you may pour lukewarm water into the compartments to dissolve the residue. Then, clean the compartment interior and rear valve thoroughly with a soft brush and warm water to remove the residue. 6. Use a soft brush to clean the drawer recess as well. ![Illustration showing a toothbrush being used to clean the auto dispenser detergent drawer slot in a washing machine.](https://image-us.samsung.com/SamsungUS/support/solutions/home-appliances/washers/Clean-the-auto-dispenser-detergent-drawer_6.jpg) 7. When you’re finished, replace the tops of both compartments, making sure that they form a snug seal all the way around the lip. Then, reinsert the drawer back into the washer. Note: Make sure the drawer recess is completely dry before reinserting the drawer. Read less ## Clean the washer pump filter (front load only) Caution If you recently ran a hot cycle (Self Clean, Pure Cycle, or Sanitize), the water in the washer will be very hot. Allow one hour to elapse so the water can cool and to avoid possible injury. ![]() ![Location of the pump filter on a Samsung Washing Machine](https://image-us.samsung.com/SamsungUS/support/home-appliances/washers/ans10003197/WASH_Clean-the-washer-pump-filter-step1.jpg) The pump filter on your front load washer, also called the debris filter, helps filter lint and other debris from entering the washer's drain system. (Top load washers do not have a pump filter.) We recommend cleaning the pump filter at least once per month or approximately every 40 washes, whichever is more frequent. Keeping the pump filter clean will help prevent odors, reduce the likelihood of mold and mildew, and ensure your washer drains properly. 1. To begin, locate the pump filter access panel. It may be located near the bottom of your washer. Open the panel by pressing the top or center of the panel. ![](https://image-us.samsung.com/SamsungUS/support/solutions/home-appliances/washers/Clean-the-pump-filter_1.jpg) 2. Locate the rubber drain hose and prepare to drain the water. You will need a towel and a container large enough for the amount of water in the washer, like an oil drain pan. 3. Remove the cap from the drain hose by holding the hose and twisting the cap. The cap can be tough to remove because it forms an airtight seal, so make sure to use a little elbow grease. Once the cap is removed, drain the water. ![Illustration of drain hose cap being removed](https://image-us.samsung.com/SamsungUS/support/solutions/home-appliances/washers/Clean-the-pump-filter_3.jpg) 4. Once all the water is drained, remove the washer pump filter by twisting it counter-clockwise. Note: On some Samsung washers, the washer pump filter (A) is similar to the cap on a medicine bottle. Push in and twist to remove. ![An illustration showing the washer pump filter being opened by turning it counterclockwise with an arrow indicating the direction](https://image-us.samsung.com/SamsungUS/support/solutions/home-appliances/washers/Clean-the-pump-filter_4.jpg) 5. Using a small toothbrush or other similar soft bristle brush, wash any dirt or other materials from the pump filter. Inspect the drain pump impeller located inside the pump filter housing to make sure it is clean. ![Illustration showing a pump filter being cleaned with water and a toothbrush under a sink faucet](https://image-us.samsung.com/SamsungUS/support/solutions/home-appliances/washers/Clean-the-pump-filter_5.jpg) 6. Once the pump filter is clean, reinsert it and twist it clockwise until it's secured in the vertical position. ![Illustration showing a washing machine pump filter being reinserted and tightened, indicated by a blue arrow pointing clockwise](https://image-us.samsung.com/SamsungUS/support/solutions/home-appliances/washers/Clean-the-pump-filter_6.jpg) 7. Place the drain hose's cap firmly back onto the drain hose and secure the drain hose in the mounted clip before closing the access panel. Note: If these steps don't match your front load washing machine, please refer to your [user manual](https://www.samsung.com/us/support/downloads/). ![Illustration showing the placement of the hose back into the compartment after cleaning](https://image-us.samsung.com/SamsungUS/support/solutions/home-appliances/washers/Clean-the-pump-filter_7.jpg) Read less Recommended Articles [![Clean and maintain the Bespoke AI Laundry Combo](https://image-stgus.samsung.com/SamsungUS/support/solutions/home-appliances/washers/US_ANS_HA_COMBO_Clean-and-maintain-your-Samsung-Bespoke-AI-Laundry-Combo.jpg) Clean and maintain the Bespoke AI Laundry Combo Clean and maintain the Bespoke AI Laundry Combo Your Samsung Bespoke AI Laundry Combo keeps your clothing fresh and clean, but you should also maintain the appliance itself to keep it fresh and working properly.

It can even contribute to odors and other issues with your washer. You can easily keep the detergent drawer clean by wiping it dry after every wash session. You can also deep clean it at least once per month just to be thorough. 1. Pull and open the washer detergent drawer until it stops. ![Illustration of detergent drawing being pulled out](https://image-us.samsung.com/SamsungUS/support/solutions/home-appliances/washers/Clean-the-detergent-drawer_1-1.jpg) 2.

(Top load washers do not have a pump filter.) We recommend cleaning the pump filter at least once per month or approximately every 40 washes, whichever is more frequent. Keeping the pump filter clean will help prevent odors, reduce the likelihood of mold and mildew, and ensure your washer drains properly. 1. To begin, locate the pump filter access panel. It may be located near the bottom of your washer. Open the panel by pressing the top or center of the panel. ![](https://image-us.samsung.com/SamsungUS/support/solutions/home-appliances/washers/Clean-the-pump-filter_1.jpg) 2. Locate the rubber drain hose and prepare to drain the water. You will need a towel and a container large enough for the amount of water in the washer, like an oil drain pan. 3. Remove the cap from the drain hose by holding the hose and twisting the cap. The cap can be tough to remove because it forms an airtight seal, so make sure to use a little elbow grease. Once the cap is removed, drain the water. ![Illustration of drain hose cap being removed](https://image-us.samsung.com/SamsungUS/support/solutions/home-appliances/washers/Clean-the-pump-filter_3.jpg) 4. Once all the water is drained, remove the washer pump filter by twisting it counter-clockwise. Note: On some Samsung washers, the washer pump filter (A) is similar to the cap on a medicine bottle. Push in and twist to remove. ![An illustration showing the washer pump filter being opened by turning it counterclockwise with an arrow indicating the direction](https://image-us.samsung.com/SamsungUS/support/solutions/home-appliances/washers/Clean-the-pump-filter_4.jpg) 5. Using a small toothbrush or other similar soft bristle brush, wash any dirt or other materials from the pump filter. Inspect the drain pump impeller located inside the pump filter housing to make sure it is clean. ![Illustration showing a pump filter being cleaned with water and a toothbrush under a sink faucet](https://image-us.samsung.com/SamsungUS/support/solutions/home-appliances/washers/Clean-the-pump-filter_5.jpg) 6. Once the pump filter is clean, reinsert it and twist it clockwise until it's secured in the vertical position. ![Illustration showing a washing machine pump filter being reinserted and tightened, indicated by a blue arrow pointing clockwise](https://image-us.samsung.com/SamsungUS/support/solutions/home-appliances/washers/Clean-the-pump-filter_6.jpg) 7. Place the drain hose's cap firmly back onto the drain hose and secure the drain hose in the mounted clip before closing the access panel. Note: If these steps don't match your front load washing machine, please refer to your [user manual](https://www.samsung.com/us/support/downloads/). ![Illustration showing the placement of the hose back into the compartment after cleaning](https://image-us.samsung.com/SamsungUS/support/solutions/home-appliances/washers/Clean-the-pump-filter_7.jpg) Read less
