The Self Clean feature on Samsung washers is a special cycle that helps to eliminate bacteria, mold, and mildew that can accumulate over time, ensuring a cleaner and fresher laundry experience. The Self Clean cycle utilizes a combination of water jets and high-speed spinning to thoroughly clean the drum and eliminate any residue or build-up. To run a Self Clean cycle, make sure the washer is empty, press Self Clean, and then press Start. It is not necessary to add any cleaner when running Self Clean. The duration of the Self Clean cycle may vary depending on your specific washer model and settings, but it typically takes around two hours to complete. It is not recommended to use the washer while the Self Clean cycle is running. While Self Clean can help with general cleaning and odor removal, it is primarily aimed at eliminating bacteria, mold, and mildew. For tough stains and stubborn odors, it is recommended to use appropriate laundry detergents and stain removers in regular wash cycles. By regularly utilizing the Self Clean feature of your Samsung washer, you can prevent the buildup of dirt, grime, and unpleasant odors, thus ensuring the longevity and performance of your machine.
