How to properly maintain a Samsung Top Load Washing Machine
Last Update date : 2024-05-15
Keep the washing machine clean to prevent deteriorated performance and to preserve its life cycle.
Eco Tub Clean reminder
- The ECO TUB CLEAN LED blinks on the control panel to remind you to clean the tub. If you happen to see the indicator blinking after washing is complete, remove the laundry and run the Eco Tub Clean cycle.
- You can ignore this reminder and continue to run cycles normally because this is not a system failure. However, the reminder remains active for 6 consecutive cycles immediately after each cycle is complete.
- The reminder is activated once every 1-3 months, depending on the cycle count.
- To keep the tub clean, it is recommended to run Eco Tub Clean on a regular basis
