Samsung Washing Machine (Front Load) Refill detergent or softener error code

Difficulty: Easy · Cost: $0 · Duration: 2m

The Refill detergent or softener message on your Samsung front load washing machine means the automatic detergent or fabric softener dispenser is empty and needs to be topped up. This is not an error — the machine will continue to operate normally. The detergent message will clear automatically during the next wash cycle after you refill the compartment, and the softener message will clear during the next rinse cycle.
