Published specification

What is true of this model and changes how you fix it

These are the properties that decide which procedure applies. Each is read from the manufacturer’s own published figures for this model, not carried over from a sibling that shares its retail name.

Type — FlexWash: TWO washers in one: A full front-load washer with a separate smaller top-load washer in the lid above. Two independent machines with their own drums, controls and codes — identify which washer (upper top-load or main front-load) is affected before interpreting any fault.
Motor & vibration: Belt-less Digital Inverter Motor with VRT+ on the main washer; the front-load door gasket needs normal care.
Smart features: SmartThings Wi-Fi. A displayed code belongs to one of the two washers — check the upper-vs-main indicator first.

Exact questions

Questions that only have an answer for the Samsung FlexWash WV55M9600 washer

Each answer below uses this model’s own published figures. The same question asked about a different model in the line has a different answer, which is why it is answered here rather than on a general page.

The top mini-washer on my Samsung FlexWash won't drain.+

The upper compartment is a small top-load washer with its own drain path, separate from the main front-loader below. Treat it as a small top-loader: do not overfill it (it takes only a small load), and check its own drain routing. Because the two washers are independent, a problem up top does not implicate the main washer, and vice versa.
