Great washing machine except rubber goes MOULDY and Samsung refuses to fix
We've had this machine for just over 12 months. The machine itself washes well, has excellent features and the size is wonderful as it fits doonas, blankets etc.
HOWEVER, the rubber seal inside the machine has spots of mould. We have applied mould remover etc, but nothing fixes it.
The machine is used at least daily. We live in Victoria so it is not in a hot climate. Nothing else in our home is mouldy. The machine is regularly cleaned and the door is often left open after a wash cycle to help it dry out. There is simply no reason why moul...Read more
d should accumulate. It is clearly an issue with the product. Samsung refuses to acknowledge this and insists the mould is "user caused". I simply do not see how. I've never had this issue with a washing machine. Samsung customer service are terrible to deal with, and on that basis I cannot recommend their products. When spending $2k on a washing machine, problems like this should not arise, and if they do, the manufacturer should rectify them promptly.2 comments
UPDATE:
At the time I posted this review I also informed Samsung head office that I would be taking this matter further (legally) and relying on my warranty rights under the Australian Consumer Law. ... Read more
I was intending to do so not because I could not pay the cost to replace the seal ($165 service fee + $99 for the seal), but as a matter of principle.Similar opinion? Write a review on ProductReview.com.au!

we had a good start, but completely worn out after 5 years,
the shock absorbers are week and the control panel crazy. I have taken her to the dump.
I think they have forgotten the good old qualitative way of machine building.
fortunately, I still have mine LG 25 year old washer he is ugly but still working hard .

OMG!!!!! Love it.
We are a family of 5, mum/dad + 3 young boys who are always getting dirty and we work full time and never seem to be home, this machine is our life saver. Gone are the days of washing 10 loads over the weekend, we can now do 4-5 depending on the week - 2 dark loads, 1 whites, 1 towels and 1 sheets.
It is very big in our small laundry and everyone who has seen it comments on the mother of all machines but I can honestly say....it's my life saver....I LOVE IT! Cleans brilliantly, quiet and HUGE!
My only negative with it is that once the child l...Read more

Perfect wash every time.
We have a big family and this machine handles the big loads well.
Cleans the clothes well every time. Runs quietly and has a cycle program for everything.
Very easy to use. Uses less water than our old top washer, this is definitely the best washing machine we have ever owed.

Nice and user friendly
This machine is ready to use and requires less cleaning. You don't have to clean the filter as offer as it is needed for the top loader. However the down side is the detergent tray. They tend to get mouldy after some time. It also lets you know if it needs a drum clean. The quick wash setting is a bit too fast. Just 15 mins. I wish it would be a bit longer.

Is it possible to be in love with a washing machine?
We run an accommodation business and this machine has just cut my washing time in half. So far, I love everything about it. I just keep piling the washing in and still there's more room. My towels and bedding have never looked cleaner and whiter. The settings are practical and easy to use with so many options. I understand some reviewers find the little song at the end annoying, but for me, it says "I have just done another great wash" and not only that, it then turns itself off!

Update - machine still going strong after a year of use. My circumstances have changed and I no longer have a large volume of washing, however, I would never go back to a smaller front loader. All tha... Read more
t room has to mean a cleaner wash that is gentler on fabrics. I never have to take large washable bedding to the dry cleaner or wash chair pads 2 at a time, and if I have a smaller load I simply put the dial on "cottons" and it adjusts itself to the size of the load. I did a drum clean because the machine smelled a little and it completely eliminated the smell. I cannot recommend this machine highly enough.Similar opinion? Write a review on ProductReview.com.au!

Do not buy !
Not worth the money. Great to have a 16kg but just do not think the technology is up to standard for these bigger machines just yet.. Purchased 12 months ago.. leaking water all over the floor for last 3 months/clothes smelling. Technician report - 2 major problems with internal leaks. Major repair. I requested new machine. Samsung were great and offered 4 options including full money replacement, new machine, store voucher or repair. I opted for store voucher so I would not loose my ext. warantee with Harvey Norman. Today my new Samsung arrives.. time will tell!

Poor customer service
Great machine and washers all our household items. Machine was purchased from a major retailer on a cash back bonus had to wait months to receive the $400.00 and required the assistance of Consumer Affairs. I would suggest that if I his is the way Samsung treat consumers that if you had an issue with warranty it would be very hard going with this company. Very poor follow up all functions seem to be out sourced and no one seems to care (give a damm is broken) unable to contact anyone at Samsung Australia head office only a Victorian sales rep who couldn't or wouldn't help.

reliable and easy to store
Got this as a gift when I first moved into my new place. It's quiet but the thing I noticed the most was it's lightweight. It was easy to move in and out of my apartment but still looked like it had a sturdy feel to it. I recommend it if you are space conscious.

I would give it 4.8 stars but I can't so I rounded up to 5
Pros- Delicates Cycle actually treats your clothes like delicates.
Bubble Wash seems amazing
I go to the gym a lot and sweat a lot while training. Gym clothes towels and sweat clothes no longer smell like sweat
Uses half the laundry powder, fabric softener and napisan as my old LG 10KG machine
Cleans everything extremely well
Does not seem to fade clothes or wash the color out of new items like my old washer.
A lot of settings, have no idea how to use them all but the ones I use work ...Read more

No complaints thus far
If you run multiple loads of washing over short period of time and would like to consolidate your wash load this one might be for you. Too early to tell how it will go in the long run, but so far we reduced 4 weekend washing loads to 2 (colours and whites). For its size machine is relatively quiet and washes clothes well. As a bonus it does take cold and hot water so people like us, with solar hot water may benefit from not paying for machine to heat up the washing load. Also, regardless of the load it will take the same amount of washing powde...Read more
r and fabric softener as your small washing machines (with no degradation of washing quality), which is great saving for those who do a lot of washing. Things to consider (in the matter of priority): 1. Size. The washing machine is huge! Make sure you measure available space before you buy 2. Weight. Get someone else to deliver and install it. From my memory it weighs around 100kg. So even moving it a bit after the install can be challenging 3. Price. When we bought it the prices differ around $1000 between the cheapest and most expensive. Shop around - save a lot of $$$ 4. Washing loads. Although the washing machine is smart enough to check every load and adjust the washings (which can be different up to 2h on the same setting) I'd not recommend this washer if you plan use less than half of its capacity (at least 8kg) per load. Big waste.Similar opinion? Write a review on ProductReview.com.au!
Questions & Answers
Colinasked
Can the melody that plays at the end of the cycle be turned off by pressing and holding the "Bubble" button for 3 seconds (or maybe another button or 2 buttons)? Pressing and holding the "Bubble Soak" button is what apparently works for current "WF16N8750KV", according to the manual. Why they hide some of these functions I don't understand - even worse if they don't give you the option to turn off the sound.

Hi Colin, just to let you know, the notification sound of this particular washing machine model is unable to be turned off unless the unit itself is off.

Thank you Jo for your answer. How hard is it to disconnect or disable the speaker? Any idea of the cost if a technician did it? I'd like to buy the machine because it's cheaper than the other 16kg machines, but you can turn off the sound on the others. Regards, Colin.

We are unable to provide possible costs or steps to do so as we don't recommend for this to be done, Colin.
Hope you understand.

How long is the quick wash and how much weight will it take at this load?
1 answer
Quick load takes about 20-25 mins but the machine will weigh the size of the load and work out wash time.
Most weight we have had in the machine would be 10-12kgs and had no issues.
krystleasked
dose this machine heat its own water and would i fit a king size quilt in it and wash it well? dose this machine come in any other colour?
3 answers
I would assume it does heat it's own water as there is a 90C temperature setting and you cannot get water that hot out of the tap. I only have king sized beds in my house so yes it washes King Size Quilts very well. No other color I am aware of.
One update. I have noticed a drop off in cleanliness in my gym clothes since switching to a front loading detergent. I used to use Kirkland brand powder 1 scoop, 1 scoop of napisan and downy fabric softener (all purchased from Costco) and everything came out perfectly clean and smelling fresh. Since switching, I have noticed the gym sweat smell has started to come back into my clothes and I have switched back to the Kirkland and everything is back to normal.
Sorry
For the delay in sending my reply this machine will not heat it's own water
From the machine's user manual, top of page 31, for the "Sanitize" cycle: "this program heats the supplied water up to 95 °C to eliminate bacteria." - so the machine apparently heats (or can heat if required) the water on at least this cycle (hot water systems usually have a maximum of 60 - 70°C) - don't know whether it can heat on any other cycles.
