What is the most common problem with Samsung washing machines top load is unbalanced load UB or U6 error and suspension issues, along with drainage problems. Many Samsung top load owners report washer shaking violently, banging, and showing UB error during spin cycle even with balanced load. This is caused by worn suspension rods that support drum, after 3 to 5 years rods lose tension and drum becomes wobbly, causing excessive vibration and failure to spin. Second most common problem is not draining ND or 5C error due to clogged drain pump filter with lint, coins, and debris, or faulty drain pump. Third is water inlet valve failure causing slow fill or 4C error. Fourth is leaking from door or hoses. Fifth is control board failure causing washer not to start. The UB unbalanced issue is most frequently cited in reviews and service calls, fix requires replacing suspension rod kit part DC97-05280 which costs $50 to $100 and can be DIY. To prevent, avoid overloading, distribute clothes evenly, use correct HE detergent amount, and level washer properly. Regular cleaning of filter also prevents drain issues.
