Does a Samsung washer have a drain pump filter, yes, both Samsung front load and top load washers have drain pump filter that needs periodic cleaning. For Samsung front load washer, drain pump filter is located at bottom front of washer behind small access panel or cover, you open door, place towel underneath, unscrew filter counterclockwise, drain water, remove lint, hair, coins, buttons, and debris that can cause 5C or ND no drain error. For Samsung top load washer, drain pump filter is also present but location varies, some models have filter at back bottom near drain hose behind panel, some have self cleaning filter with magic filter inside drum that collects lint, but still have pump filter inside that may need service access. Samsung recommends cleaning drain pump filter every 40 washes or when you see drainage issues, odor, or error codes. Not cleaning filter can cause washer not to drain, not to spin, and foul smell. To clean, unplug washer, open filter, remove debris, rinse filter under water, check pump impeller for blockage, reinstall. Regular cleaning extends pump life and prevents breakdowns.
