Does a Samsung washer have a filter that needs to be cleaned?

Yes, Samsung washer has filter that needs to be cleaned, specifically drain pump filter located at bottom front of front load washers behind small access panel, and also inlet filters on water supply hoses, which should be cleaned periodically to prevent clogging and drainage issues. Front load Samsung washers have drain pump filter that collects lint, hair, coins, and debris, and should be cleaned every 1 to 3 months to prevent washer not draining, error code 5C or ND, and odor. To clean, open small cover at bottom front, place towel and bowl, pull out emergency drain hose, drain water, then unscrew filter counterclockwise and remove debris, rinse filter under water, and reinstall. Samsung top load washers also have magic filter or lint filter inside drum that collects lint and should be cleaned regularly. Additionally, mesh filters on cold and hot water inlet valves where hoses connect to washer should be cleaned if water filling slow, showing error 4C. So yes, Samsung washer has filters that need regular cleaning.
