Where do I put conditioner in a Samsung washing machine?

Housewives love using fabric softeners when washing clothes – they leave them soft, supple, and pleasantly scented. To get the most out of your fabric softener, it's important to understand how to use it correctly. Let's look at where to add fabric softener to your Samsung washing machine and the manufacturer's recommendations.

Determine the section for the rinse aid

It's important to understand that fabric softener is used during the rinse cycle, not during the main wash. Therefore, there's no need to add it to the base detergent compartment—it will be used up during the wash cycle, and the desired effect won't be achieved. Samsung washing machines have a separate section for the air conditioner, the location of which may vary depending on the model.

In top-loading washing machines, the detergent drawer is located directly under the top cover. In front-loading machines, the drawer is located in the upper left corner (with rare exceptions). Let's figure out which compartment is used for fabric softener.

Study the manual

Every Samsung washing machine comes with a manual that covers basic operating instructions. It also includes information on which compartment to use which detergent.

If the user manual has been lost for a long time, you can find information online by entering the model of your specific washing machine in your search query.

If your washing machine is a long time old, you may not be able to find the manual online. In this case, you can ask your question on the manufacturer's official website. Customer support specialists will be able to help you find the right section. However, finding the fabric softener compartment is usually quite easy. Let's take a look at how a standard Samsung washing machine's detergent drawer works.

Classic tray

Detergent dispensers can vary in shape and the arrangement of their sections relative to each other. A standard dispenser has three compartments of varying sizes. For user convenience, the manufacturer places symbols next to each section. Sometimes numbers and letters are included. In some cases, a flower or star may be included.

• The section marked A, 1, or I is for the pre-soak and pre-cleaning products. If you schedule a cycle without these programs, the section remains empty.
• The compartment marked B or the number 2 (II) is for the detergent used in the main wash. This drawer is used most often by housewives, as it's where the detergent is poured for each cycle.
• The fabric softener or anti-static dispenser drawer is easily identified by the flower or star symbol next to it. This section is often blue, making it instantly stand out from the other compartments.

The rinse aid compartment is designed to prevent fabric softener from spilling into the system during the main wash cycle. In some Samsung models, the rinse aid container can be easily removed from the drawer.

An unusual tray

Samsung produces several washing machines with unusual placement or design of the fabric softener compartment. A prime example is the Samsung EcoBubble wf602. Its detergent dispenser is divided into three sections, with the right section, located closest to the user, dedicated to the rinse aid. Fabric softener should be poured into the small square-shaped opening.

Older Samsung washing machines may have other non-standard drawers. This might be the rightmost compartment with a transparent lid. This is the hole on this panel where you should pour. air conditionerThe section may be covered by a lid with a flower symbol. In such cases, finding the desired compartment is easy.

Top-loading models are also available, with a dispenser that has four drawers, including one for bleach. In these top-loading models, the rinse aid compartment is located on the far right.
