How to remove water from washing machine Samsung?

To remove water from your Samsung washing machine, especially in an emergency or when it won't drain normally, you can use the emergency drain tube located near the filter.

Why Might You Need to Drain Water Manually?

Sometimes, your washing machine might stop mid-cycle or fail to drain properly. This can happen due to a blocked drain pump filter, an issue with the drain pump itself, or even a power outage. When this occurs, you'll be left with a drum full of water that needs to be removed before you can access your laundry or troubleshoot the problem.

Manually draining the water using the emergency drain tube is a necessary first step in these situations.

Step-by-Step Guide to Emergency Draining

Draining your Samsung washing machine manually involves accessing and using the small drain tube typically found near the pump filter at the bottom front of the unit. Always have towels and a suitable container ready, as water will flow out once the tube is opened.

Safety First

Before attempting to drain any water, it's crucial to ensure your safety:

• Turn off the washing machine.
• Unplug the washing machine from the electrical outlet.

This prevents any electrical hazards while you are working near water.

Draining Steps Using the Emergency Tube

Once the machine is safely disconnected, you can proceed with draining the water using the emergency drain system:

1. Locate the small access panel at the bottom front of your washing machine. Open or remove this panel.
2. You will see components including the main drain pump filter and typically a smaller tube with a cap. This is the emergency drain tube (often labelled 'C' in diagrams) and its tube cap (often labelled 'B').
3. Place a flat container (like a shallow pan or tray) directly in front of the tube to catch the draining water.
4. Slowly pull the emergency drain tube (C) out while holding onto the tube cap (B). Keep the end of the tube pointed downwards into your container.
5. Open the pipe cap (B) by twisting or pulling it off.
6. Let the water from the emergency drain pipe (C) flow into the container. You may need to empty the container multiple times if the drum was full of water.
7. Once all the water has drained, re-secure the cap (B) onto the end of the emergency drain tube (C) and push the tube back into its position.
8. Close the access panel.

After draining the water, you can then typically access and clean the main drain pump filter, which is a common cause of draining issues.

Note: The specific location and appearance of the emergency drain tube and cap may vary slightly depending on your exact Samsung model. Consult your user manual if you have difficulty locating them.

If the machine still won't drain after cleaning the filter or the problem persists, you may need to contact Samsung support or a qualified technician.
