WF42H5000A

Samsung WF42H5000A 4.2 cu. ft. Front Loader Repair

Most common issues on this model

  1. Door lock and latch when the cycle will not start
  2. Boot seal and leaks at the door
  3. Drain pump and filter
  4. Shock absorbers and drum balance

In white, the WF42H5000A is a front load washer of 4.2 cu. ft., sold as the WF42H5000AW. It is an older Samsung model that is still working in many Houston homes, often next to a matching dryer.

With a basic front loader like this, we check the door lock and latch first, because a washer that will not lock will not run. Then we look at the boot seal, the drain pump and its filter, and the water valves. If the drum thumps on spin, we move to the shock absorbers and the leveling. We confirm the model and serial from the label before ordering parts, give a written price and cover the repair with a 30-day workmanship warranty.

WF42H5000AWF42H5000A questions
Why will the door not lock?

The latch, the lock assembly or the door strike may be worn or out of line. We test the lock signal to see which part is not responding.

Does the washer need a stacked dryer?

No. It can stand alone or sit beside a dryer. Our checks are the same either way.

How do I know the washer is level?

A level washer does not rock when pushed at the corners. If it does, the feet need adjusting, and we check this on every front loader.
