Samsung Washer Not Heating Water? Try these FIXES!

So, is your Samsung washer not heating up water?

I often find that a wrong setting, closed supply tap, or bent inlet hose can leave the washer with cold water. I would check the selected temperature, hot water supply, and inlet hose before thinking about a major repair.

Why Is My Samsung Washer Washing in Cold Water?

Here's the short answer: to fix a Samsung washer not heating water, check the cycle, water supply, inlet hose and screens, then have the heating parts tested.

For this check, if your Samsung washer won't heat water, note whether it is washing in cold water only or the water is not getting hot on every warm cycle.

Open the Hot Water Tap

Further, check the manual to see whether your Samsung washer uses separate hot and cold hoses or heats a cold supply inside the machine. If it has a hot hose, open that tap fully and run the nearest hot sink tap.

Remember, if the nearby tap stays cold, the trouble is in the household hot water supply. A single inlet model needs a technician if its internal heating parts do not warm the wash.

A small hot water supply problem on the Samsung often cause a much bigger symptom while you work through the list.

Choose a Warm Cycle

However, select a normal warm or hot cycle instead of a cold, delicate, or energy saving option. Let the Samsung washer complete an empty test cycle without opening it while it runs.

Further, some cycles use cooler water to protect fabric. Compare the choice with the cycle chart in your manual before deciding the washer will not heat.

The cycle setting on your Samsung sometimes need only a simple correction during a careful check.

Rinse Dirt From the Water Screens

Besides this, small screens where the hoses meet the Samsung washer catch grit. A blocked hot side can leave the machine washing in cold water only even when cold filling looks normal.

Remember, unplug the washer, close the taps, and follow the manual before removing a hose. Rinse loose dirt gently, do not pull the screen out, and check every connection for leaks afterward.

For this check, if both supplies are weak, read about a Samsung washer that is not filling with water.

This inlet screen problem sometimes come and go on a Samsung before the next test.

Straighten the Water Hose

Remember, follow each inlet hose behind the Samsung washer. Straighten sharp bends, free a hose trapped against the wall, and make sure the connections match the labels on the machine.

Remember, turn off the water before moving a connection. Replace a hose that is split, swollen, or leaking instead of trying to patch it.

This part around the inlet hose often get forgotten on a Samsung washer while the washer is empty.

Ask for an Inlet Valve Test

Next, if the water is not getting hot after the supply checks, the inlet valve, heater, temperature sensor, wiring, or control may be at fault. Which parts apply depends on the Samsung model.

Remember, keep the machine unplugged and ask a qualified technician to test it. Contact Samsung first if the washer is under warranty.

Work through the Samsung checks in the order that matches what you see, aiming for warmer wash water.
