Emergency Drain a Samsung Front-Load Washer

If your Samsung front load washing machine door has locked, or the machine is showing an Unbalanced Load (Ub) Error, you'll need to Emergency Drain the machine to get it going again. It is also recommended that you clean the pump filter of your front load washing machine after draining - which is good to do every 5-6 times a year to make sure the machine doesn't have to work too hard to drain the water out.

The emergency drain feature is NOT applicable for top-loaders. Only select top load models will have a pump filter, with no draining hose provisions. You will need to request service if you would like to have the filter checked and cleaned.
