- Your Samsun washer may be making your clothes dirtier. This video looks into what is under that shiny stainless agitator that may cause you concern. Mold, gunk, and many other things may be causing your clothes, linens, and other items to get particles of debris, sand, dirt and just plain gunk on your wash. I hope this video helps. Many others have helped me. Please hit like and I subscribe. Thank you for watching.

Good video! This video explain where the brown residues are coming from from my Samsung top load washer.....what a bad design! According to Samsung, when the Self Cleaning function is not enough to clean the washer, you need to add bleach or chlorine before the Self Cleaning...which then in the long run could corrode the steel plate. After 3 years of using this top load 'efficient' washer, i"m thinking to go back to a basic model with a plastic tub and an agitator. Manufacturers forgot that a washer main function is to clean clothes, not make it more dirty or play songs!
Hard to believe what is under the beautiful stainless drum is corrosive. Thanks for watching and sharing. 👍
If you have a WA45H7200A* Samsung washer, they have been recalled. Contact Samsung. They will either 1) give you $136 toward the purchase of a new Samsung washer, or 2) send a person out to fix your problem.
@@GetRealBaby thank you, I need to look into that for sure. Thanks again.
@@htnowpro You're very welcome. Glad I could help. BTW, there may be other Samsung washers that are recalled. Give them the Model # and Serial #. They'll take it from there. 1-800-726-7864
@@htnowpro I wonder if you could take that piece out and paint it. Or find a part that won't rust due to hard water and calcium. That's our problem in our house I see calcium and lime on other appliances
Thank you I am going to try this! We pay alot of money for these machines and they aren't as good as the old school ones
I have to give my husband a thumb up 👍!!! Excellent job and excellent video. Very detailed and well explained 👏😊
I just seen someone else video like this but the other guy took it all apart this video you have made is super simple and just saved me a few hundred bucks to have it professionally cleaned
Thanks, yes I didn't want to get so involved and have the machine torn apart for a few days and the corrosion was so bad I felt the shaft might be seized and cause more headaches. Thank for watching and commenting. Stay safe and have a great week.
Goals 💝
I ran into the notorious brown flakes after about 8 years of the same model. Turns out wife started washing everything cold and not doing pure cycles, probably since after washing the baby clothes were shrinking. Came across your video, decided to follow your "do it yourself" technique to try to clean it out since washers are $600 and up, and everything else in the washer is working good.
I took out the agitator, saw the same brown mold and crud on the outside and inside of the agitator, and underneath the agitator on top of the stainless steel tub, on the regular steel mount and in the crevices underneath. The metal component was not nearly as pitted as yours is, that's some serious corrosion. I attempted to power wash the surface of the agitator, but that didn't really do anything to the inside. I then created a bath of bleach, dish soap, and hot water in a storage tub and attempted to soak the agitator for an hour, kind of moving it around to try to get the solution to seep into the agitator interior. Then I did the same thing to the washer, taking buckets of hot water, a good squirt of dish soap in the bucket to get suds, and maybe a cup of bleach, enough to cover the mounting plate.
After 1 hour, I noticed that the brown crud retreated from around the drainage holes of the agitator, but the mold on the interior crevices didn't seem to come out. I used nylon brushes to clean the plastic exterior in the crevices on the agitator. Then I used the wire brushes on the stainless steel tub and steel mount, and nylon brushes to try to get in those crevices between steel mount and the plastic tub underneath. Then I installed the agitator again, and ran the pure cycle to drain the solution and try to use the washer's self clean to get any other gunk out. I think the bleach soak forces the mold to detach from surfaces (based on my experience with siding). Afterward, I'd wipe out any gunk with a paper towel. Had to repeat the pure cycle 3 times before the gunk was not detectable on top of the agitator and stainless steel tub. Further wash cycles have been free of brown flakes.
All in all, I highly recommend attempting this before replacing the washer. Since there's still brown mold gunk deep in the agitator crevices between the plastic and stainless steel, don't know how long this cleaning will last before the brown flakes appear again, but this was easy to do and didn't have to lift a 150 lb washer to take it more apart, or spend money on a repair service or new washer. Wife is very happy and sends kudos to the video creator! You need to get the word out on the Samsung forums.
Thanks for a great response. You did a great thorugh job.👍
you probably dont give a damn but does any of you know of a tool to log back into an Instagram account..?
I somehow forgot my login password. I would appreciate any tricks you can give me!
@Andre Aron instablaster ;)
@Titus Alonso thanks so much for your reply. I found the site through google and Im in the hacking process now.
Looks like it's gonna take a while so I will reply here later when my account password hopefully is recovered.
@Titus Alonso it did the trick and I now got access to my account again. I am so happy!
Thanks so much you really help me out !
I have a different model but most of these washers are basically the same but because of your video i took mine apart and power washed all the parts outside and hose through window to clean the inside of washing machine. came out great thanks for showing me how to take mine apart.
Excellent, so glad it worked out for you and thank you for watching and sharing your results. Stay safe and have a great week.
Same issue on mine. I used an electric pressure washer and some cleaner to clean pulsator after removal. Pressure wash from both sides into the small holes at all angles and it should clean out well. I also used inside drum to clean bottom out followed by the pure cycle a couple of times. So far looks better. Pulsator looks to be poorly designed. Thanks for the video.
Thanks for the tips.
We bought this washer used and we're not informed about the issue. We were pretty frustrated that they left out that huge detail. Coming back to say after ripping this washing machine apart, pulling the agitator apart(not fun, that was also filled with mold and flakes), scrubbing everything(drum inside and out, agitator, inside and out, washer tub, etc) and still having dirt at the bottom I dumped 1/2 cup of clr in the bottom of the washer and ran a normal cycle... most of the flakes were gone! I'm running a rinse spin cycle to clear the rest of the soap suds. Will probably do clr one more time with an extra rinse cycle afterwards, but heads up to those here frustrated...CLR seems to be the saving grace..good luck.
Thanks for sharing 👍. I will definitely run some through the washer.
I know this is old but did you run the machine without the agitator when using the CLR?
I did. The cleaning helped the machine last another two years. In the end It needed a hub bracket due to corrosion. I was unable to get a replacement part. Hope this helps. Thank you for watching and commenting 🙂.
in the same position right now with our Samsung aquajet 🙄😮💨 she was saying oh it works were just selling because the dryer broke and we want a matching set.... more like don't wanna deal with the washer being moldy. now we have a mountain of clothes to wash but I refuse to wash anything in it till I can take it apart and clean it (hubbys to do list is already a mile long so I'm trying to tackle this myself). but with a 3yr old and infant I am grossed out thinking I'd be "washing" their clothes with mold.
@@courtthelover12 pour some dawn and a little bit of vinegar and hit it with a scrub daddy, just on the inside before taking anything apart. That should give you some time and some fresher clothes for a few loads.
We have this same washer and I hate it. We had to do a deep clean because of all the mold built up around the bin. It was disgusting to think that we were washing clothes in a moldy washer. Great video!
Thank you for watching and commenting. Yes, we felt the same way. Have a great weekend.
I have bad news for all of you. See that pulsator that was cleaned. Take it outside and hold it up to the sun. Between that chrome overlay and the white plastic base, you will find lots of mold growing in there. You'll see what I'm talking about when you hold it up to a light. I spent several hours prying the two pieces apart only to find a disgusting mess of mold in there. Basically, your cleaning will be only a temporary solution as the mold will come back, more quickly than before. Samsung needs to make a one-piece pulsator so there is no tight spaces for mold to grow. I bought a new pulsator and it was completely moldy in less than six months. I was able to get a full refund of my purchase price for the washer, which I was delighted about, but I still tried using it. Now, I think its time to get rid of it. What a shame since it's basically in like-new condition. Samsung really blew with this one. I'm guessing there was no recall because they probably haven't found a solution.
Thank you for posting. I think Samsung stopped using the stainless skin on the pulsator. Your post may explain why.
You are so right about this I noticed the same thing!!
@@AlexSanchez2254 Just an update. I ended up taking the entire drum out of the washer and cleaned everything. There were pockets of mold at the bottom of the tub, but not too bad. I cleaned it out and I continue to use just the bottom plastic piece of the pulsator (I separated the chrome overlay, which was not easy). We leave the lid open and use Afresh every month. So far, we have had no more issues after about a year of use. I would love to replace the pulsator with a nicer one, just not sure if Samsung makes a one-piece version. If so, please let me know. I don't care if its white or chrome. I just don't want a place for mold to grow.
@@roysprivatemail I’m literally at Home Depot right now with affresh in my cart. I took it apart and cleaned it once but didn’t mess with the agitator. Horrible manufacturing. I can see that there gunk between the plastic and the metal. Need some pliers to get that open. I will be doing that before I buy another one.
@@AlexSanchez2254 Pliers and a flat-head screw driver. You just need to get the chrome lip bent out on at least half the circumference. Its possible. I just remember it being a PITA. If you can get it separated, you should be good going forward. If you leave as is, the mold from the pulsator will continue to get into your clothes and will stink up the place.
I don't know what model, but I have the same problem, the agitator is plastic. The black gunk started showing up after I used a "washing machine cleaner", that my wife got as a promotion. She owns a laundry shop and currently runs 9 similar machines, none of which has had this problem. I'm guessing the "cleaner" loosened up the stuff and here we are. Thanks for the video, I followed your lead, and I'm running a cycle now. Fingers crossed.
Thank you for sharing. Hope it works out for you. Maybe the cleaning agent softened the hoses and they maybe are part of the cause. I did replace our hoses at the recommendation of a viewer.👍
I’m working on my washer right now while watching! Thank you so much for this video!
Be sure to use a wet/dry shop vac. Thank you for watching.

John Taylor did u have this problem my washer machine is making my clothes smell bad
We didn't have any odor, just flaky, gritty substance getting all over the clothes. Thanks for watching and commenting. Stay safe.
I did have a viewer who used some sort of cleaning solution and the sanitize cycle. They said it knocked loose a lot of black gunk.
I have same exact model, I went ahead and took out the stainless tub from the plastic base and found way more gunk and soap grime. Just remember that big nut that holds down the tub comes off in reverse.Then took a power sprayer to all parts.
Mark, thank you for adding your resolve to this ongoing issue. Having knowledge from someone who has confirmed the rest of the story is a great help. Thanks again and thank you for watching. 👍
Mark, how were the threads? Was the Nut seized? Thank you...👍
Does this model washer machine have a filter?
How do you get the top of the washer off to get the tub out?
You should try running a rinse with citric acid and oxygen clean under hot water. It's safe and clears the drain lines it may work for under that cap too.
Great advice 👍, Thank you so much. Have a wonderful week.
Excellent video. Thank you. My Samsung is leaving residue in the bottom of our washer and dirtying clothes. It’s disgusting. Time for me to clean this thing out I supposed. SMH Samsung needs to DO BETTER!
Thank you for watching and commenting. Hope it goes well. Have a great week ahead.
I have the same washer and had the exact same issue. I took it apart completely and found a huge amount of additional scum/grime.
That is on my list..."clean it completely ". Good advice 👌. Thank you for watching and sharing.
Thank you so much. Going to try this on my machine. I was ready to buy a new one. I am so frustrated with white clothes coming out with a lot of stains and dirt on them. If this doesn’t work I may need to replace it.
You are very welcome 😊. Hope it works out for you. Thanks for watching and commenting.
Run some vinegar through it ocasionally. Or get a water softener to keep the scale from attacking the cheap pot metal parts. For what Samsung charges for these machines. They should put a nylon coating on those parts.
Absolutely
I probably have the newer model up (the one that was recalled for blowing up) thankfully that hadn’t happened. But I’ve decided to RUclips my washer and dryers since i ended up paying a fortune for someone local to do it catching them working on my appliance watching RUclips videos!!🤯 since then I’ve been fixing my own laundry machines. Came across your video while cleaning mine with all that smell(wondering where it was coming from)
Our washer is on the recall list, lol 😆
@@htnowpro the Samsung? I wouldn’t doubt it. Is it for another issue or for exploding?
You have no idea how much scrud is behind drum. At best you buffed the tip of the iceberg. Get yourself a 5 lb bag of citric acid and OxiClean. At least 2 Cups of citric acid to 1 cup of OxiClean, clean on the hottest setting .. ideally just filling the tank and leaving it set for about an hour or longer .. repeat at least twice. Use a net or paper towels to catch the floating scrud.
This process works in dishwashers though use a lot less, commode tanks, and anywhere where water has built up crud.
Thank you for the detailed information. Much appreciated. I do know my wife reports a 90 percent improvement. It definitely made a great improvement. Thanks for watching and sharing. Have a great weekend.
From my Navy days cleaning out salt water cooled condensers and such that eat up metal under the agitator looks like a sacrificial anode.. zinc that will corrode before a more vital part corrodes.
Maybe, looks kinda like zinc.

It’s the bleach. Super corrosive
I have the same stainless agitator. It is awful how much dirt is between the stainless cover and the plastic. Have no idea how it supposed to be clean up!
There is no way, hardly other then replacement.
Thank you for the detailed video, really helpful. I'm trying to clean mine, got off the pulsator but the top bolt under that is stuck. Tried using a impact driver but so far no luck.
You are welcome 😊. That is the problems that can occur working on equipment that runs in water. Corrosion can make things un fixable and only replaceable. I was looking into removing the drum to completely clean it but the corrosion made me keep it to the minimum. You might just try a chemical clean as some have suggested. Hope it works out for you. Thanks for watching and commenting.
Yes you are absolutely right, corroded bolts are more challenging. If that bolt does not come out, will try your suggestion of the chemical cleaning, thank you for suggestion.
Update - I was able to get off that 35mm bolt, used impact wrench - like the one which is used to get off the lug nuts of the car. It came out in less than a min. Now the inner tub is stuck, many people say it needs some force as it may get stuck due to scrud/deposits from detergent/softener over the time
@@pm7812 they should make an automotive style puller for frozen hub to shaft issues. Hope you are successful!!
nice job but why didn't you go one step more and remove the stainless steal drum. would have made cleaning so much easier
Yes, of course you are right. I wish I went the extra mile .🙂
I took one look at the excessive corrosion and didn't want to deal with a seized threaded shaft/ nut assembly.
Oh gosh removing the drum probably would have cleaned up a few but I can only imagine the process he would have to go through being that this is a Samsung. The way they are made are just so backwards.
Btw, Be carefil there are razor sharp edges on the bottom of that stainless steel drum.
Yep, great advise 👍.
The agitator plate looked like there was mold/gunk in between the metal outside and the plastic inside. Idk if it comes apart but it look really discolored behind behind the white plastic
Good call. I think Samsung has changed away from this agitator style for that very reason.
Yes! We pulled it apart with pliers! It was filled with mold, calcium, etc. You have to be meticulous about how you pinch it back together or it won't spin.
@@hannamyers3503 I have the same problem and was wondering how to take it apart. I was worried about getting it back together correctly.
Krystal Sosebee my husband pulled it apart with pliers. It took a lot of hammering and pinching with pliers to get it back together.
I did this process a year and a half ago. Boy was it a job to clean it but it solved the problem. Unfortunately the brown flakes are back and I just don’t think I have it in me to do this again. 😭 I am going to try to convince my husband that we should just buy a new one.
I am right there with you and in the same time frame. I am going to clean the entire tub before we sell it. We just found a good deal at Sam's Club on sale. Washer and dryer, $695 each, front loaders, our first with that, and wifi lol. I need to make some videos. Have a great weekend and hope you find the deal you're looking for. Thanks for sharing.
unless you remove the entire drum you didn't do much, Also once a month your supposed to wash the wash machine with a chemical bath with nothing in the washer, Chemical found online and in hardware stores. Same goes with a dishwasher.
I agree there is more to clean, however getting rid of all the sand and grit made a major difference. I have cleaning the drum on my to do list. Thank you for posting, didn't know about the chemical bath.👍
well thank you i have sand in mine and your video really helped me out...good job thanks for the free help...cindy...thumbs up to you
You are very welcome. Have a wonderful weekend.
Thank you for this video. We were able to clean out our machine, but the "dirt" still appeared. My husband replaced the hoses and it seems to have finally solved the problem.
You are very welcome. Thanks for sharing and watching. I might replace hoses also. Good idea. Thank your husband for me.
Which hoses? Hot and cold water supply hoses?
Yes the water hoses
Finally a video that explains and shows how to fix this issue!!! Cant wait to show my husband what our weekend project will be.
If you have a WA45H7200A* Samsung washer, they have been recalled. Contact Samsung. They will either 1) give you $136 toward the purchase of a new Samsung washer, or 2) send a person out to fix your problem.
The best way to clean this unit is to remove the whole drum assembly which requires removing the entire top of the washing machine. I just did mine and the agitator actually has a bunch of scrud build up in it . And now we are replacing the Agitator. Samsung are terrible appliances
Just took ours apart. Had to order a flange/hub. The cleaning lasted about two years.
Yeah, this was probably the most disgusting thing I've cleaned in a long time.
Yeah, an appliance guy told me they make crap washers. Unfortunately it was 3 years after I bought mine. Never again!
Use 3 dishwasher tablets every month in extra hot empty water! Than another empty with cold water and bleach, and a tirth one with 300 ml of citric acid for lime scale! It will became brand new and stay like new, every month, repeat the 3 empty washing cycle with extra hot and filled to the top. Anyway the spider is all corroded is a common problem with samsung washers even front load have thesame problems! The spiders material is so cheap and became corroded very soon from the soap , as you can saw when you brashed the screwer on the spider you easily cutted it is like butter corroded
Thank you for you advice. It will help many. Will give it a try. Ours has been odor free since I cleaned it.
@@htnowpro also ise less liquid detergent ghis is the cause of the residue because contains silicones and preservatives, forwhites, towels,bedding, use hot extra hot and powder detergent that also clean the machineonce a week
I stopped using liquid fabric softener and I no longer have that gunk problem plus I do the cleaning cycle once every two months.
Thank you for sharing your experience. It will help many viewers. Have a great weekend.
Great video! Thank you for showing the details of how you cleaned the grime off
You are very welcome 😊. Thanks for watching and commenting.
We have a samsung 500 high efficiency top loader, it's not even a year old and doing this, I put a new white towel in it and it came out with dark streaks on it. How disappointing. My husband is planning to look at ours and I'm thinking I would rather have an old wringer than this thing.
Some have suggested using a cleaner through the system regularly.
call samsung and give them hell.
The plastic piece under the adjetater needs to come off. You could see all the dark moldy parts when you showed it. I don’t know how to get that plastic piece off! Help
It doesn't come apart . The whole assembly would have to be replaced. Another viewer wrote in and said he replaced it and in several months it did it again. Thank you for watching and commenting. Stay safe and please let us know if you replace it. There is a sanitizing selection on the washer to run a cleaner mode.
Thanks for the video, you just saved my day!
You are welcome. I'm glad to be of some help. Have a great week
Same for lg the metal plate had rust and had finally broke the machine was working fine apart from the rust metal plate they need to use a different material for the plate
Was thinking if there is any hack to prevent n protect the plate from rusting or Atleast slow down the rusting
I think if the aluminum was hard anodized, it might help. 🤔 or if there was a replaceable Zink piece such as on outboard motors, to isolate electrolysis. Both would help. I actually bought a replacement part 3 times, three different vendors, but the spline didn't match.
Thank you for the video - well done and informative. What model is this?
Thank you for the kind words. The machine is 10 years old...not sure of the model. Thank you for watching and commenting. Have a great week.
This is sad that Samsung cannot do any better than this... Im sticking with my Whirlpool / Maytag
I have the same washer/dryer and completely took it apart yesterday. Same issues: gunk under pulsator, powder detergent buildup almost like sand, corroded and pitted metal plate. I would suggest taking the drum out as well. It’s a bigger job, but you can really get all the debris out. Wet shop vac was definitely my friend on this job. My only gripe is, similar you yours, there seems to still be slime build up between the upper and lower assembly of the pulsator (top silver piece and white bottom piece). You can see it when you look at the underside, sort of discolored in places. This part has been discontinued and I can’t find a new one for the life of me. I might try prying the apart to clean in between, but I fear breaking it.
Yes, prying it apart would not be a good thing. You great job and I'm sure it helped out a lot. Ours has been much better but you went the extra mile. Thanks for sharing. Did you check into a newer agitator ti maybe retrofit?
I have tried tirelessly to find a replacement. No one, including Samsung, is able to tell me if the newer pulsators will fit my model WA484DSHAWR/A1. If anyone knows for sure, has a part number, or a company that has any of the OEM in stock, please post in the relplies :)
Okay happened upon your video because of course I'm having the same issue mine wasn't nearly as corroded as the one in this video, I cleaned but I'm still having this crap deposited on my clothes and in the bottom of the machine it's almost as if the drain holes in the tub are so small that tub is acting as a filter and not letting the crap pump out along with the water I wonder if drilling larger drain holes in the agitator would do any good? Any thoughts
MM would the Type of Detergent is used in the Machine?? And would Depend on how Dirty the close are and what type of Dirty is on the Close? Just asking-- I think so.
I think the water in Florida is super corrosive. I had a similar washer in California and had no issues.
If you don’t take out the entire drum out and clean underneath it you’re still washing your clothes simmering in that mold and mildew. Only way to truly deep clean it is to take out the entire drum and clean underneath. This is a half-ass job, no offense to the guy. I understand he didn’t want to risk breaking off a rusted nut but that washer is still really dirty and that’s touching your clothes, it may not stain it but it’s touching it in every wash.
You are absolutely correct and I have posted additional videos showing the drum flange is in need of replacement due to excessive corrosion. The cleaning in the video helped us get thru a few more years. I wasn't able to find the correct drum flange, similar but not exact diameter ( I purchased from three different parts warehouses). I have since replaced this washer. Thank you for watching and commenting. Have a great week ahead.
I have the same or very similar Samsung washing machine. When I turn the stainless steel drum around with my hand I can hear water splashing. I checked the drain hose and vacumed out any clogs that could have been causing the problem but it'didnt fix the problem. I disconnected the hose from the drain pump and vacuumed that also. And it's still making a splashing noise when I move the inner stainless steel drum with my hand. Could there be water trapped between the outer drum and inner drum and if so how to remove it because it's stagnate water and starting to stink please help with any info
This is someone elses post, can't verify if true or not. consider adding a popup caption
to your otherwise good video, saying NOT
to worry about the invisible water sloshing
around inside the body of the drum. It's in
there for counter-balancing. If anyone tries
to remove that water, they will effectively
ruin their machine
Took me 20 minutes to pull the inner drum ............. 4 F-n hrs. to clean the drum and tub.
You did a more complete job then I did. I need to follow up and do that also. Thanks for watching and commenting.
Hi there, could you tell me how to take the agitator out of the washer? My husband just couldn’t take it out 😢 thanks!
Take the bolt out and lift it out. I suspect it may be frozen/ seized to shaft.
We finally had to replace the machine.
Great video!
Thank you so much! I'm getting ready to take the tube out and clean it completely. Thanks for watching and commenting.
The only time I’ve had a washing machine or dryer or any appliance rust out the way the one in this video has where the client says that we’re at my beach house and they were assaulted by salt air
This is the only time I have had one also, and the matching refrigerator is also.
I had the same problem. Look at your agitator when flipped upside down, there is mold in between the white and silver. How do we clean that out? I've tried soaking it, pressure washer and leaf blower. Has anyone tried to take the silver top off to clean?
I have only seen one video where they pried the stainless cover off and it's not recommended 😒. Truly it needs to be replaced along with the tub flange that corrode. Our washer lasted about 2 more years. I totally took it apart and was unable to locate the correct replacement parts. Thank you for watching and commenting. Have a wonderful 4th.
How you keep the bottom plate from rotating when you took it off and back on.
I used a 1/4" impact gun.
Has any one had health problems because of this, such as skin rash?
None that I am aware of .
I have the same style but its a newer model only a week old my clothes are coming out stained
Wow, it's two new to have the mold issues. You should consider returning it. Thanks for watching and sharing. Please let us know how it turns out.
Thats not going to do the job. Sorry to say. You need to take the whole tub out. Clean the tub!!!! Take out that bottom metal piece. Because you need to clean not only the top but the bottom and bleach will not do. Also there will be things around the bottom as well. I know because I did this and you will not believe whats in it till you take it ALL apart. Gl!
It's been two years and got us by. Here is the two year follow up as of last Week. Thanks for watching and commenting.
ruclips.net/video/uDTzOZCkJ_g/видео.html
Parts on order.
Can you give the name and part number. That would be great! Thanks for the video update!
It's called a flange part # 60-07650-67870. I should have it by Saturday and confirm if it's the correct part. I will let you know as soon as I find out.
I had to take my machine completely apart and outside to power wash. The back side of the tub was so caked with scum/mold what ever it looked rusted. Worst design ever
Be sure and clean the underside of the flange that the tub bolts to.
How to remove the agitation plate
You have to unsnap the cap, remove the bolt and then remove the agitator.
Get two paint can openers. Shove it in the crack around the agitator and keep rocking them around til you can get it up.
I am curious if there is space between the white bottom of the agitator and the shiny top, it looks like a layer of soap & softener gunk/grime is there.....?
Can't for sure. The stamped stainless cover doesn't come apart or is not designed to come apart. Someone said they pryed it apart but had trouble putting it back together. The new are different because of this, I believe. Thanks for watching and commenting 🙂.
Thanks. That makes sense. As technology infiltrates our daily lives, simple mechanisms often prove to be superior.
I just got a used one and my first time using it today and I’m having this disgusting issue!
It's repairable, if you can find the parts. Thank you for sharing.
The agitator still has dirt between the stainless and the plastic
It lasted another two years 😔. It has worse problems. Lol

Sorry, this is the remake of the locked version.
Leave the top open so it can dry when not in use.
Great advice. Thanks for sharing. Have a great week.
Supposedly the cause is because people use softener
We never used softener. Florida water is very corrosive and the tub bracket/hub has no powder coating or plating to protect it. 🤔
@@htnowpro men after taking the drum all the way out and thoroughly cleaning it and even cleaned the inside of the washer machine, our clothes still doesn't smell clean like when it was brand new. I use 2 Kirkland Ultra clean pods and nope i don't smell the pod on my clothes wth else do i need to do??????
Did you take the drum flange/ bracket off and look at the bottom?
ruclips.net/video/3Dvqf59lOOc/видео.html
@@htnowprowhen you say your water is corrosive what do you mean. Is it hard water, salty water or slightly acidic
@johndoe-vc1we I can't explain the science. Every water shut off valve, garden hose connection, etc. ends up seized . One look at the flange hub shows extreme corrosion. 😳 That is what I am referring to
Cleaning all the junk on the top of the "spider" is not enough, or so I'm told. If there's junk/scum on the top, there's sure to be as much junk/scum on the bottom.
I haven't done it yet, but I'm going to take out the stainless steel tub, clean it thoroughly, and then remove the "spider" (the medal thing with all the crud on it).
I'm told it comes off after removing the 38mm bolt that holds it into place. A thorough cleaning with a wire brush and elbow-grease should do the trick.
Taking it out will also give me/you plenty of room to clean most everything that's down there, using a garden hose, soap and a shop-vac to suck everything out.
At least that's what I'm hoping for. Good luck with your work there.
Thank you. I put it on my list of things to do. I was thinking along the same lines, my only concern was the corrosion on the nut to thread may cause me a great headache, lol.
@@htnowpro I've given the nut a few shots of WD40 each day. That puts a bit of oil in the tub, but seeing as how I'm going to take out the tub and clean it inside and out, including the plastic basket the tub rides in, that's not a problem.
Also, before you try to remove the nut, be sure to check to see if it's a clockwise or counter-clockwise turn to free it.
I saw a RUclips video of a guy who had to turn that nut clockwise to take it off. Sure don't want to keep hammering on the thing in the wrong direction.
Have you called about the Recall yet? Might be worth it.
Thank you for this video. I need to clean mine too(and I have the exact model as you do) but I am wondering is it safe to run water in the tub as you showed us without the agitator cover on? Does the water leak inside the machine?
The Tub contains the water. As some have recommended the Tub should be completely removed and cleaned for a thorough job. Our washer is about 85 percent better, and I also replaced the hoses as one viewer suggested. This video is simply sharing information . Each individual ultimately decides what is safe or not. I do not recommend attempting any repairs you do not feel are safe. Thank you for watching I hope this helps.
How do you remove the agitator
Take the cap off...it may break a tab. I had to replace it. Then grab the agitator with some channel lock pliers and wiggle and pull up.
I may be doing a video on removing the tub and doing a complete cleaning. We recently replaced the Samsung's with LG
Use less soap. For real. And run the Clean Washer cycle more frequently.
What do you expect when things are made in China
IPhones are made in China and have excellent reviews. This concern has more to do with the material selection and / or lack of anodizing the aluminum. It probably was manufactured in Mexico. Thank you for watching and commenting. Have a wonderful week ahead 😊.
speed queen is the only good brand left
That is a brand I haven't seen in any big box stores. Special order?
I hate this stupid washer never again will I buy a Samsung
It happens to many washers. We went with LG. Time will tell if they last any longer.
I have never had such a bad washing machine. Nor service from Samsung. Good for nothing. Bad machine. Took extention on service and it just cost money. Clean washing comes out full of fluff and service men that came useless. Samsung your machines very bad.
Sometimes equipment fails.
