Either way,
this guide will go over the things that need to be done during installation to prevent leaks, excessive vibration, and issues with spinning, draining, and filling. Before installing a washing machine, you'll want to prepare your laundry room or closet. Measure the space to make sure your new appliance fits and is not blocking something else, such as a door. For specific measurements, please check your washing machine's user manual or refer to your model's listing. You should also gather your installation accessories and parts to check that you have everything you need. Replacements for damaged or lost accessories can be purchased from a local retailer, from Samsung Parts, or by contacting Support. Here is a short list of traits a laundry room should have to ensure peak performance from your washing machine:
Do I need a drip pan? A drip pan, also known as a drain pan, is required when the washing machine is not installed on the ground floor of your home. We recommend low profile drip pans for front load washing machines because they allow access to the pump filter (which requires routine cleaning). Certain models (such as the WA54R7200 series) may require the drip pan's bulge to be less than 5/8 inches. You can find drip pans on Amazon. Please see the list below for the dimensions of our current models.
If you're interested in stacking your washing machine and dryer, here's a few things to know: Only front load washers can stack with dryers, and the dryer will always be on top. The washing machine and dryer must be matching models. The user manualsfor both appliances contain information about which stacking kit is needed and how much space is required. Instructions on how to stack the washer and dryer will be provided with the kit itself. This information can also be found in other places such as our website. Before using your front load washing machine, you must remove the shipping bolts from the back. The specific location and number of shipping bolts varies by model, but they are always on the back of the machine. Please check your model's
user manual for the exact location of the shipping bolts.
Caution: Leaks from the water supply hoses can lead to electric shock. Any time
you're performing a washing machine install, brand-new water supply hoses are a must. Using the old hoses could potentially lead to leaks, so you should get rid of them.
Don't
forget the drain hose! If you don't install the drain hose properly, it will result in no drain errors, water leaks, and even odor issues. There are two ways to install and position the washing machine's drain hose.
When installing the drain hose, please keep the following in mind: Details are very important in a washing machine installation, and leveling the machine is no exception.
For applicable models, including WA54R7200, you will need to install leg rings. Please see the next section for instructions. Leg rings are only used if they are included with your washer AND ONLY if you are using a drip pan. The leg rings will raise the height of the washing machine. This will prevent the motor from rubbing against the drip pan and causing noise. Note: The motor will still rub against the drip pan if the bulge in the middle of the pan is greater than 5/8 inches. If the bulge is larger than that, use a different drip pan.
Now that you have completed your washing machine installation, there's only one more thing to do: run a test cycle. Plug the power cord into a three-prong, well-grounded 120V 60 Hz outlet, protected by a 15-amp fuse or comparable circuit breaker. When plugged into a three-prong grounded outlet, your washer will be grounded through the third prong of the power cord. To begin a test cycle, close the door, select Rinse + Spin, and touch and hold Start until the cycle starts. The Rinse + Spin cycle is one of the shortest cycles but still uses your washer's filling and draining functions so it's good to test with. Make sure the filling, spinning, and draining functions all happen correctly without any errors. If you have any vibration issues, make sure the shipping bolts are removed (for front loaders) and the leveling feet are adjusted and locked securely. Also watch out for any error codes the washer displays. Some installation issues can be quickly identified through troubleshooting a specific error code that occurs. Note: On some models, the washer must be turned on before running Calibration mode, while other models require the machine to be turned off. Check your user manual for instructions specific to your model. Some models don't have Calibration
mode, so if the manual doesn't give instructions, the model doesn't have it. You should use Calibration mode right after your washer is installed, any time you make adjustments to your washing machine, and if you ever feel like the weight detection (and amount of water per cycle) isn't right. It only takes a few minutes, and it never hurts to do it periodically. Just make sure you've got your washing machine right where you want it first and that it's nice and secure before calibrating it.

What hookups are needed for a stackable washer and dryer?Stackable appliances require the same wiring, plumbing, and venting as a traditional set. Electric dryers require their own 240-volt circuits, but gas dryers can share a 120-volt circuit with the washer. Electric outlets should not be installed close to drain hoses and water lines for the washer.
Can I make my Samsung washer and dryer stackable?Stacking kits are designed to make storing and using your dryer and washing machine easy. Rather than leaving your appliances on the floor, the stacking kit allows you to safely stack your dryer on top of your Samsung washing machine, making better use of your space.
