How do I run Calibration Mode on my Samsung washing machine?
After your washing machine has been installed or moved, it is advised to run Calibration Mode before starting a wash. This will calibrate the weight sensors in your machine.
The steps to run Calibration Mode will differ depending on the washing machine model that you own. Follow the steps below that correspond to the buttons or display on your washing machine. You can find information and manuals for your specific model with Samsung Support.
Please note: Make sure that the washing machine drum is empty and nothing is on top of the washing machine before running Calibration Mode.
Please note: If nothing appears on your display, turn off your washing machine and turn it back on while holding the Temp and Delay End + buttons simultaneously for 3 seconds.
Please note: Calibration will not start if the door is not closed properly
The drum will turn clockwise and anticlockwise for 3 minutes. When calibration is complete the message Calibration complete will appear on the screen and the washing machine will turn off.
