So your Samsung Top-loading washer won't drain or spin

 This isn't your traditional deal post. This is primarily just a way for me to chronicle what happened with my washer and publicly recommend a fix. 

I have a WA50M7450AW/A4  top loading washing machine. Up until today, it has been pretty great. Large capacity, gets clothes clean, can't complain. 

As it was doing its final spin to get the water out, it stopped, leaving around 4-6 inches of water in the bin. 

After doing some googling, I found this youtube video > https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oOnxbj-unfc

While its not the same model its very close.  I followed the video almost exactly. 

1. Adjustments. 

 I didn't take the entire wanter pump apart. We just opened the flush valve and stuck some needle nose pliers down in the water pump to find this..


Reassembled all of it and turned it back on and it all works fine now.  So if you have a Samsung top load washer, do yourself a favor and wash your socks and smaller items in delicate bags. Because if you don't you'll have to disassemble your washer like me.

Shame on samsung for making this trash design, this should have never happened.
