A Samsung washer in Minerva wasn’t filling with water, and the customer also noticed the drum seemed loose. After inspection, we found the cold water inlet screen was plugged with water softener resin from a faulty new water softener system.
The Problem
The customer reported water not going into machine and that the drum seems loose. They had already cleaned hot and cold water screens but the washer still wouldn’t fill properly.
Diagnosis
The cold water inlet screen was plugged with water softener resin. The rest of the machine was cycling properly. The customer had a plumber from Louisville install a new water softener and they have are having ongoing issues with the softener. It’s still not working properly and releasing softener resin into the household plumbing system.
The Repair
- Parts replaced: No parts recorded
- Work performed: Cleaned cold water inlet screen of water softener resin
- Result: Machine resumed proper water filling cycle
Is It Worth Repairing?
Samsung washers from this era are generally reliable machines when properly maintained. This WA45M7050 model represents solid value in Samsung’s lineup, and a simple inlet screen cleaning is always worth doing versus replacing the entire unit.
Maintenance Tips for Samsung Washers
- Check and clean inlet screens every 6 months, especially if you have a water softener system
- Run Samsung’s self-clean cycle monthly to prevent buildup in the tub and hoses
- Leave the door slightly open after use to allow moisture to escape and prevent mold
