God bless you! You saved this single mom a lot of money and tears trying to figure out how to fix the washer and pay for Christmas.
You’re welcome, I’m glad it helped!
Yesss I have 8 kids and six of their birthdays fall in June and July.. currently fixing this bad boy right now! 😂
Hey man, just wanted to say thanks. You saved me a $300 service call and this video helped me feel comfortable enough to replace this $40 part myself. I appreciate it!
Thankyou so much for doing this video, im a single mom of 5 and you saved me alot of money. I was able to fix with the help of my 17 & 13 yr old. Thankyou.
I am also single mom of 2 and don't really want so spend money on things.
Thanks for video
THANK YOU BROTHA' !!! You just saved me from having to spend $295.00 !!! You made me a Hero to my family! I had the exact same problem, a big clog of gunk and fuzz. THANK YOU!
JASON HARP lol same!!!!
Thanks a lot man, you saved me some $$$. Already repaired my Samsung dryer, now the washer, less than 2 years old. If you buy Samsung, get ready to become an appliance repairman.
i just installed 4 new hanger suspension rods on my Samsung HE washer.
4 years after this comment I’m coming back to it. Lol😂
First time in my entire life a DIY video on how to fix an appliance actually works for me!! You are awesome !!! Thank you.
What I found was a rusted nail no idea how it gotten there...
100% DIY solution! I got lucky and didn't even have to remove the pump, just the top hose and there was the "clog" sticking out. Pulled on it and kept on pulling until a mauled sock about 8 inches long came out. Less than an hour, and we are back in business. Thank you so much for posting something so easy to find and follow. (soap box comment: What kind of engineer builds a washer where something the size of a sock can reach a pump impeller?)
Thank you for this video. Relaxing after work on a Friday night after a long week and the wife tells me the washer crapped out half way through the load. With the help of this video I had it fixed within 39 minutes.
Thank you!
Great video!!! Heres another tip for people having trouble out there… after unclamping the first black hose on the right hand side, i used a wet/dry vacuum and was able to get a huge amount of cotton which was clogging the pump. Clamped it back up and was good to go. This will save you some time from having to take out the whole pump and taking it apart. Plus keep things a little dryer because you can use the vacuum to dry as you go!

uuuu😅😊 la
This saved me so much work!!! Thank you kind stranger!!!
@@jasonpaden8641 glad i could help
Does this type of washer have a filter clean out place like other washers. I've looked but never been able to find one on it.
@@amypotts1873 Not that I’m aware of. I ended up wasting some time taking the inside of the drum apart looking for one. My issue ended up being a newborn baby sock that made its way into the pump.
GOD BLESS!!! This man saved us $300 or more in repairs ! Thank You!!
Awesome walk through. Was able to fix our Samsung washer in less than 2 hours. Because of this video I had the drain pump unclogged from debris within 30 minutes. The tricky part was putting it all back together. Thank you so much!
I can’t upvote this video enough. This is exactly the problem we had, with visitors in town. I searched and searched and the Samsung documentation is garbage. Thank you so much for the excellent walk-through. This video was a life saver.
Thanks! I also write self-care books. Check out my book on Amazon www.amazon.com/Self-Health-Andragogy-Self-Directed-Learning-Self-Care/dp/B0B2V3VZHG/ref=mp_s_a_1_1?crid=2WX43YE4Q10AQ&keywords=self-health+andragogy&qid=1658588283&sprefix=self-health%2Caps%2C174&sr=8-1#
You’re a life saver! I thought I broke my washer turns out there was a nail inside the pump! Took it apart and put it together pretty easily following your video, which was such a great while my fiancé is out on deployment. Thank you so much!
Thank you for your service AND Merry Christmas and a Happy Joyfilled prosperous New Year.
Mine also had a nail in the pump!
If I could give this 1000 thumbs up I would... just got an estimate for $470... saw this video and ended up with the same problem (clogged pump) works like new again!!! Thank you Sir!!!!
Thank you for this video. I followed your instructions but when I got the pump out there was no fuzz or anything causing a blockage. I ordered a new pump for 40 bucks on Amazon. it showed up two days later and it works perfectly. Your video was really helpful.
You’re welcome!
Part number and who you ordered from?

Thank you! This video broke it down, step-by-step and very detailed explanation! When the washer stopped draining, I felt very defeated, I’ve never worked on a washer, and I didn’t have the money to call a professional. This video gave me the reassurance and confidence I needed to do it myself. It’s crazy to think of what a little piece of a safety pin would have cost me…..
I’m glad it worked out.
Simple, and straight to the point. Thanks for the video. Cost the grand total of $9 for a wrench. Went straight to the clog. Put back together in no time. Works just fine.
you're a life saver UTAH23! I pulled apart our Samsung's pump and found my wife's sock! How on earth it made it in there I'll never know but the washer works like a charm and it didn't cost anything but a few hours for draining and disassembly. Thanks again!
This was the BEST video ever! Extremely helpful! Our issue was not as simple as a clog. When we opened the pump, we found that the shaft on the impeller was snapped. We were able to order a replacement drain pump online for less than $30.00 and now all is working again. Thank you so much for helping us save hundreds of dollars! 😊
Same. I tried to super glue is back on until the new pump arrived. It lasted two loads then snapped off again. When the new pump arrived i was a pro at taking it apart and putting it back together!
I watched this and remembered my wife had washed a few small pillows just a couple days before our disaster. Great video, one viewing and I was confident to tackle the repair.
I can not thank you enough! As a family of 6 our washer runs almost non-stop. Our clog ended up being a wadded up Pokémon card.
Your video saved us a service call and daily trips to the laundry mat.
Hah!😂
Hope it wasn’t worth much
Found a nail in the pump thank you works great, don’t know what we would do without guys like you.
Dude I just spent 3 hours (12am-3am) after my 8 hour shift following this video after watching it first. You just saved me God knows how much money. Thank you so much!!
Thank you brotha, opened it up and my sons sock was stuck in the pump... great video!!!
Same 9 month old sons sock was stuck
Thanks for the video bud. We have a similar Samsung washer using the same pump and I expected to find the pump header full of fluff like you, but instead discovered a loose impeller and broken impeller shaft. LOTS of other washers use this same pump, as do other companies as well. You can get a replacement pump (just the motor--it snaps onto the plastic header from your machine) for about $25 at multiple websites. Just finished the job and am running our machine for the first time in a week (No LEAKS !!!). Could not have done this without your very helpful video.
Thank you, CW. Not only did you save me a lot of money and trouble, but with the isolation measures, there’s no telling when a technician would have been able to help.
Your video just saved me a $300 repair quote from a local tech. $150 just for coming out and an estimated $150 do do the repair. I followed your directions and found a that a sock had been sucked into the line. Just pulled it out, put the hoses back on the pump and the washer is working fine. Thanks very much for posting this!
I did it!!! I replaced the pump!! What would have been over a $200 job, I did by myself for less than $30!!! Thank you so much! I’m literally crying on the floor of my laundry room. I didn’t think I could. But I pushed myself. Thank you!
That’s awesome! Happy Holidays!
Just adding another thank you to keep this in the algorithm’s good graces. Saved me a lot of money. My pump wasn’t clogged but I was able to use this video to replace the pump myself for a fraction of the cost.
My washer just stopped draining, the symptoms are exactly as the ones on your video.After watching this video, I’m pretty confident, the problem will be fixed. Thank you for an amazing video !!
Thank you so much for this video! I've got a husband, 4 kids, and a lot of piled up laundry. You talked me through the entire process of unclogging the pump and for that I am extremely grateful!
I’ve been so stressed bc of one thing happening right after the other. I’m so glad I found your video and I am going to try to work on this tomorrow.
did this end up being the cause for yours not draining?
Thank you! I’ve never done anything like this before but was able to follow your clear instructions and remove the child’s sock plugging the pump. Saved money and helped me understand how my washer works. Really appreciate it!
No problem anytime. you might like this other video I have on my channel it’s a sleep optimization presentation that empowers you to improve your sleep hygiene ruclips.net/video/nLXbkgOMvH0/видео.html
You saved me a call to tech support. Using your video was able to fix my washing machine in 90 minutes. Thanks so much for posting this video and taking the time.
Really can't thank you enough for this video. Super easy to follow and I found the sock that was stopping the drain from working. You saved me hours of time and probably loads of money. I owe you a beer....
Thanks for the great advice and directions. I was able to unclog my washing machine quickly and easily.
Thank you for this! Didn't even need to take the pump out... a sock was easily visible in the pump as soon as I took the hoses out! I definitely made a mess with the water though... Thank you for your video which gave me the confidence to tackle this problem on my own!
wtf how
how the fk did u get a sock in there?
There is space between the inner wash tub and fill drum. If a sock were to be dropped into that space the pump would suck it up.
Super helpful! Just pulled my pump apart and had exactly the same situation. Saved my day! Thanks for the video
Thank you so much for making this video. My husband works out of town. So when my washer didn’t drain I thought this is going to cost me a lot or wait a week until my husband gets home. I found your video and did step by step your direction. I found my grandson baby sock in the pump removed it re-hooked everything back up and it work. Again thank you so much!!!!
Thank you so much. This video saved me few hundred dollars. I was able to fix my washing machine by changing the pump.
Thank you so much for the video. This is exactly what my machine needed. No one in my area would even take a look at a samsung. Showed your video to son in law. He ordered the pump and replaced it. It now works good as new.
Thanks so much! Super helpful and great level of detail!! I was able to find a clog, not in the pump, but in the rubber hose between the washer and the pump... and I wouldn't have known where to start without this video!
THANK YOU. My mom was so frustrated with the washer and was close to having someone come out to fix it. I found your video and followed it. We found a Bobby pin that was causing the problem. Video was super easy to follow and you saved us money. My mom is amazed and it’s all thanks to you
Just fixed mine! It was clogged just like yours. It took me more than an hour, due to me trying to figure out how to put it back together😆. Your video saved my coins. Thank you.
Thanks man! Followed your instructions to the tee. There was a penny stuck in my washer. Saved me some time and money on getting it professionally checked out. Thank you sir!
Thank you so much for making this video. I had the same thing happen this weekend (padding/stuffing getting stuck in the drain pump) and couldn't find much info on dealing with this on top loading washers. This saved me from calling a repairman or ordering a new pump.
Dude! You saved me $800!! Thank you so much, I had the exact same problem, my smart wife washed the arm rest cushions and it opened up during the wash, clogged up the motor, thank god it didnt burn.
Took me 30 min to fix after watching your video.
You are a hero!
Great video! Thanks for the detail in locating the second mounting bolt for the pump.
Thank you!! This just saved me so much money! What we thought was a clog like your video ended up being a broken drain pump. As soon as I took it all apart after following your video, the plastic fan attachment fell right out and we noticed it had completely broken off. A quick Amazon order for the $30 part and a bit of work and the washer is working perfectly. Thanks!
I bet your wife and kids appreciate your hard working wisdom and helpful support. ❤❤❤ My pump isn't pumping hard enough it's not clogged I think the pump motor is bad! I learned so much by taking it apart like you showed me
THANK YOU. Glad I know how to do this now. We tried to wash some patio pillows in our washer and they exploded... This saved the day!
Great video! I assisted my husband in fixing the washing machine, it was exactly the problem you identified in the video. Thank you!
Thanks a ton. That was the best “How To” video. Saved me some $$$$.
Perfect video. Easy to understand and exactly what I was looking for thank you so much
Great Video... Thank You! Today I paid $120.00 for a local appliance repair company to diagnose my washer. Tech told me my pump motor needs to be replaced. $150.00 for the pump and another $100.00 for labor. I decided to take a look in the pump after watching your video. I found a finishing nail wedged in the pump motor. I removed the nail and the washer works perfect again. You just saved me $250.00!!!
Thank you for this video. Took us 5 days to figure out what the issue was. Found your video and fixed it in 45 mins. It was a nail stuck in our drain causing it to make a ticking noise and not drain the water. You’re awesome. Thanks again
thank you. I am having the same issue. As soon as I have my new wetvac out of the box I will be ready to tackle the issue. : follow up; I SPENT some time trying to resolve the issue simply by applying a wetvac hose to the drain hose. It was my hope that doing so would dislodge the obstruction.
While I was able to fully drain the washer with the use of the wetvac I was unable to clear the obstruction.
Following you excellent instructions, I was able to do exactly what you did and I fixed the problem. In my case, it was a 1" x 3" piece of strapping which had torn loose from a backpack.
I would advise all to consider taking picture of your pump as you disassemble it as it can be somewhat puzzling putting it back together.
Thank you so much!! I found one of my son’s socks in the hose!! I didnt have to take the pump off! Thanks again!
Thank You! FIXED! Great to know what is inside the machine. Just a couple of modifications to your method. 1. I used a shop vac wet vac to suck the water out of the hoses both the drain hose, and when I disconnected the hose from the bottom of the drum. * Note I did scoop out as much water as possible, and sucked out what I could from the top of the washing machine. There is quite a bit of water left in the drum. A quick finger check into the intake side of the pump confirmed there was a clog similar to yours. I tried to suck it out with the vacuum, but ended up removing the pump and realized there is a check valve in the exhaust side of the hose, so no to vacuum. I then just stuck a screwdriver into the pump inlet and was able to pull out the clog similar to what you had. Once it looked visually OK, I used the blower side of the vacuum to blow in the input side, and I had a good flow on the output side. So I reinstalled it without completely disassembling the pump. Much thanks to you, I would have taken it all apart if I had not watched your video!
We had a similar issues where water is not draining out, Since we are not under warrently, Samsung gave a quote of $149 for the visit and $60 for labor + filter cost and additional labor for second person. Thanks a lot for the detailed video, we followed your instructions and able to clean the filter.
I never comment on videos...... this video saved me on unclogging the drain pump. Keep doing the Lords work! Thanks!!
Just commenting to say it’s 2024 and you just saved another person hundreds of dollars. I can’t thank you enough! Found a small clip of finishing nails in my pump blocking the propeller. Got them out and now we’re back in business!
Thank you for the video. Just cancelled my service appointment after I saw this. Everything was exactly how you explained it. I definitely should’ve paid more attention to the wiring before I took it off, but other than that it was a success. Found a plastic wrapper in the drain pump and once I took that out it started draining the water with no problem. Thanks again for the video!
I rarely comment on videos, but I was doing one last load of laundry before selling the washer & moving, and it wouldn't drain. Followed your video and found a quarter in the pump.... put it back together and everything worked perfectly. What a relief! You saved me a couple hundred bucks. Thanks!
You are the man! All of the sudden my washer stopped working in the middle of a cycle with about a 1/5 of a drum full of water. I restarted it and all I heard was a hump (power was going somewhere). I emptied the water by myself and restarted a cycle emptied. It all worked until the drain/spin process. I watched some other videos and stumbled with yours after figuring out the problem must be in the drain pump. I already had the pump out and thought about replacing it since electricity was good (voltage check and humming). I disassembled the pump per your instruction and found a small piece of Jean's metal branding in it stopping the pump from turning. I put everything back together and walla...it works again. Thanks for this awesome video.
Just wanted you to know you saved me a lot of money with this video. Had same exact issue. Did what you said and found dog bed filling in motor. Thank you so much. Felt really good fixing it on my own. My husband just wanted to call someone out, but after finding this video I wanted to try it myself. 😃😃😃
O.M.G. this totally worked for me! Thanks to your video I was able to open up the drain/water pump and found a piece of wood splinter from one of my husky's chew sticks that must have been in one of the carpets I had just washed. THANK YOU this saved me a call to a repair person which would have been about $300!!! I also found my protective housing was not on and secured, plus one of my rubber grommets is missing and will replace, plus the hose on the inside of the back of the washer was not connected to this little rubber stabilizer and rehooked that and it's even now quieter!!! Thank you! this only cost me my time :)
This video was a lifesaver!!! I was able to drain it before my husband got home so he could get straight to the dirty work. Thank you for such a thorough video! It was so easy for both of us to follow!
CC CC c
Thank you so so much! I was able to fix this tonight, without having to pay someone to do it!!! I appreciate it soooo very much!!
Thank you so much.. I haven't tried a full wash yet but I'll be damned if there wasn't a dollar bill in there. Thank god for you and others like you willing to share your knowledge!
Great job explaining and showing step by step. This saved me the cost of a service call. Thank you!!!!
Thank you!! We had the exact same issue. A sleeping bag shredded to pieces in the washer - and it stopped working. I followed your detailed instructions here... removed the stuffing that had clogged the pump... and the washer works perfectly again!
Your video was very helpful. Thought I was gonna spend all day trying to figure out. I dont have the exact model like yours very similar tho. I found a kids sock clogging the inlet to the drain pump. Thanks alot.
Thank you! Within the first minute of your video it was very informative. I knew once I ran across this video that this is the video I needed to be watching as my washer was doing the same exact thing. Found nothing on the internet other than here about this issue. Also, you included a quick repair! Went step by step and out popped my 2 year olds sock. Now I need to figure out how the sock made it in there lol. Thank you so much for this video! Appreciate your time, I couldn’t thank you enough!
This was a Godsend. Thanks so much for posting this video. Solved our problem and we are back in business. Listening to the sweet sounds of water pumping out as I type this. Thanks so much!
Work like a charm. Great way explains the video. Side note, if I ever had to do it again, I will mark the cables to make sure I plug them correctly. Thank you for the video.
Thank you for this video! Your explanations and demonstrations were perfect and on point. From the weird smell to the pump disassembly. I'm not super technical, and my model of washer is slightly different, but because of this video, I found my daughter's sock in the water pump clogging it up. As good as new! 100% grateful! You saved me some time and $$$, you're a savior, man!
Mine was a sock too lol
Video helped me find my daughters sock our drain pump decided to eat. 😤 Running a load now praying the pump still works! Thank you so much!
I found this video at 1 o clock in the morning after my washer stopped draining this evening. It took me about 15 min to get pump out, and to pull out the stuff that was jamming up the pump! Cu=entry running a wash cycle and it set to be working fine. Thanks a bunch sir, you may have saved me a nice bit of money!
Your video just saved me $500 bucks...thank you.
Mine had a baby sock in it.
Samsung said 3 to 5 days before they could come look at at. Done it after watching you do it. I went step by step with you.
Again thanks

I had to get right down to the end step and found a penny! You saved me hundreds of dollars. Thank you! Very well done and easy to follow!
Glad I could help!
WE had a penny in ours too! I’m so glad he posted this.
Update. It stop draining after 2 loads. Bought the part and changed it out without any issues thanks to your video. Happy Holidays and thanks again.
I had the exact situation you are a life and a wife saver!!!! Thank you for posting this.
Thank you again for your step by step video. Ive seen other videos but they didn’t help me like yours did. In fact some of the stuff they said to do didn’t help at all. But I love how detail you were about everything. Especially the part of the wire where black is flat. Bc I did forget where they went. I hope you continue to do more videos about other things that broke down in the house and fixing car problems too. As a single mom of 4. These videos help me a lot.
Mine did the exact same thing and thanks to this video I was able to get a sock out of the pump and save me money and time! Thanks bro!
Dude you saved me at least a hundred bucks!! I followed your video exactly and I found a crumbled up 5 dollar bill inside that looked so washed out( no pun intended) removed it put it all back together and it works!! Thank you
Had to subscribe …. Thanks again!!

This was my life today! Thank you so much for making such a clear video - you really helped us out a lot. Thank you!
I literally just had the same issue and fixed it because of this video, you saved me almost $500, just with a little bit of time and effort you can basically fix your own stuff, thanks for the video bro
You saved this mama a headache!!! I was so stressed. It was taking forever, over a week for a technician to come out. I was just fed up today. It was my daughter’s sock that was stuck in the drain. Keep doing great videos!!!
God bless you !!❤

You just saved this widow mom of four a ton of money. Please continue to post your DIY videos. I found some headphone wire, a single headphone earpiece, and a decorative polished rock 😳 now I wonder how long it will take to get the rest of the missing headphone pieces stuck in there again 😣 Can't thank you enough for the video.
So glad I found this video. Exactly what was wrong with my machine. This worked perfectly. Thank you!!!
Appreciate for the detail throughout video. My case was ended up with broken motor shaft. Amazon replacement for $20. Awesome. Thx a lot.
Thank you so much. I had the same problem and got it fixed in less than an hour. However, I got water spilled all over the floor and had to use a shop vac to dry. Now that I am thinking about that, I should have used the shop vac to get the water out from the drum first. Anyway, the mess is not too bad and you saved my day. Really appreciated.
Right?
I found this video, but only after watching a bunch of videos that said "you might have a little bit of water come out of the pump, so have a little hand towel ready just in case". I'm glad my husband was home, because he ran down as soon as I yelled out because I basically flooded the whole laundry area, ruining the adjacent floor boards and crumbling the painted cement. I didn't expect the whole tub to empty through there. I definitely didn't expect that it'd all come flowing out at that step. The thing that worries me is that the water came down everywhere, so I'm afraid that the electrical wires have been damaged, not just at the pump, but anywhere under the washer. I definitely will go the shop vac way to empty the rest of it before trying to disconnect the pump again... It's in times like this I wish I had a drain hole in the floor.
Thanks, had error 5C and followed your lead here and whattayaknow.. found a rock in my pump. Took it out put it back together and works great. THanks a ton!!!!
Perfectly addressed the problem we were having, and the solution to fix it. In our case it was a sharpie cap in the pump!
Thank you, thank you, thank you. I looked for an hour before I came across your video. I couldn't find any information on this type of pump setup except this video. Thank you soo much! It was a sock, btw 😊❤️
This was a lifesaver!! As hot as the pump felt and smelled I thought for sure it was fried…nope hoodie drawstring clogging the pump itself. Worked great!! Thank you!
