Hello Iko B, It really sounds like you were expecting that strong, active wash movement you were used to, and having the cycles feel lighter and slower can come across differently than expected. This model uses an impeller system, which cleans by moving water and fabrics through the load rather than using strong back-and-forth agitation. Because of that, the motion can feel less forceful compared to traditional agitator washers, even though it’s designed to clean in a different way. If you'd ever like a closer look at how it's running, Samsung Care is always here to support you. Please keep this reference number for your records: 1152656086. Feel free to reach us through the following channels: Samsung Community: https://us.community.samsung.com/t5/samsung-community/ct-p/us Facebook Messenger: https://m.me/samsungsupport X: https://x.com/messages/compose?recipient%20id=18768513 Samsung Care: 1-800-726-7864 (1-800-SAMSUNG) Your insight is genuinely valued.

Hello Abbie, Your feedback sheds light on how reliability factors into daily routines when dependability is expected from a washer. Top‑load washers rely on balanced loads, stable leveling, and responsive suspension to move smoothly into high‑speed spin, and when any of those elements are disrupted, the unit may pause or retry to protect the wash system. This guide offers helpful steps to support smooth, steady spinning performance. https://www.samsung.com/us/support/troubleshoot/TSG10003485/ If the behavior you’re seeing continues after reviewing the guidance, our Samsung Care team can look more closely at your model history, prior service, and available support options. Please keep this reference number for your records: 1152455375. Feel free to reach us through the following channels: Samsung Community: https://us.community.samsung.com/t5/samsung-community/ct-p/us Facebook Messenger: https://m.me/samsungsupport X: https://x.com/messages/compose?recipient%20id=18768513 Samsung Care: 1‑800‑726‑7864 (1‑800‑SAMSUNG) We appreciate hearing from you, and Samsung truly values your business.
