Unreliable - leaks water just over a year

Would Not Recommend

Product installed June 2022 - started leaking just after warranty ended. Replace defective water tray housing where soap/bleach/fabric softener installs. Leaking again less in about 3 years of use. Water does not drain from fabric softener section after load. Loud noise during spin like other reviews state so suspect broken weights as well. Matching dryer does not dry fully. Leaves clothes damp even though all steps to clean sensor were done. 4th Samsung set purchased and had no issues with prio...

Poor durabilty and replacements pars discontinued

Would Not Recommend

Purchased just over 3 years ago. Within 6 months a counter balance weight fell off. After that was fixed, it worked pretty good until a couple months ago, just after my warranty expired, when it started to make a loud noise like a jet engine during the spin cycle. The bearings on the rear outer drum are already failing. I cannot find the just the bearings for this machine anywhere, only the entire rear outer drum assembly. But it is either listed as on backorder for months with the cost of the p...

Bad appliances.

Would Not Recommend

Mine last 4 years and it’s broken. It needs a new assembly and harness. First, my Samsung dishwasher broke every year from the moment we bought it and lasted a total of 3 years before we threw it out and bought a cheap dishwasher that works way better than the Samsung. And, now, our Samsung washer is broken after 4 years. Samsung appliances are a waste of money. Don’t buy their appliances. They are not worth the money.

Worked for 3 years. DO NOT BUY.

Would Not Recommend

Seems like Samsung has a product quality problem with this washer. 3 years after purchase we have now encountered the same issue as other customers, a broken washer that knocked itself off balance and broke the internal arm holding the drum. Stay away from Samsung appliances.

Busted after 2 years - Assurant will not fix

Would Not Recommend

The washer completely busted after 2 years. We purchased an extended warranty and had a technician come out to fix it. The tech could not fix it. I later received a bogus email from Assurant (Lowe's Warranty department), stating that they will not fix nor replace the washer due to overloading. Abosulte bogus claim. I had 3 items in the washer, and it was at half capacity. Lowe's could not help me, and I am still trying to reach someone at the warranty department to dispute the claim. Never will ...

Great washing machine!

Would Recommend

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Clothes come out nice and clean. Able to wash extra large comforters. Can wifi connect via the smart things app to get notifies about the wash status. The black finish is very sleek looking, and the modern features are great! It remembers your regular settings, and there are many setting for various types of wash. I'm very happy with my purchase!

Washer lasted less than 3 years without major issues and repairs needed. Faulty washer bearing and outer drum replacement needed at a cost essentially the same as replacing the unit. Samsung customer support was unhelpful and difficult to work with in finding any type of resolution in the process.

Faulty Product

Would Not Recommend

Started having issues within a few months of using it. Had customer service send someone out to fix it but then after the one warranty is up, then the really bad issues began! Leaks and Heavy loads do not wash properly which is not typical for this brand.

A Bust

Would Not Recommend

I bought this in June 2021. It was working beautifully, but now it has stopped working (March 2023). First, I was getting the "check drain filter" error constantly in one load. There was nothing in the drain filter. Hoses were clear and without kinks. Latet, it shuts off, child lock engaged, and it won't power on. So now I can't turn on the washing machine nor can I open the door. I performed all diagnostics (unplugged, checked circuit breaker, etc) and it still does not power on nor disengag...

This washer is deafening within 1 1/2 year

This washer is literally louder than a jet engine taking off. I purchased a "Lowes protection plan" and am unable to access my plan and no store representative has been helpful. My washer is completely unusable and have nothing to show for it. Thanks Lowes

This has literally been the worst appliance I have ever owned. I have had multiple parts changed already and am still waiting, after 3 weeks, to have it fixed again. I find myself continually having to bring my dirty laundry to friends and families houses to have them washed.
