ATop-Load: Spin + Soil Level

  2. Power the machine on.
  3. Enter calibration: press and hold Spin + Soil Level simultaneously for ~3 seconds until the display shows "Cb" or "CLb".
  4. Press Start/Pause — the drum will rotate slowly in both directions automatically.

CTop-Load: Hold Power + Start/Pause for 3 seconds (from off)

Samsung top-load washers (WA-series) that enter calibration from a powered-off state by holding the Power button and the Start/Pause button together

  1. Make sure the machine is off.
  2. Hold the Power button and the Start/Pause button (two separate buttons) together — that's it, the machine does the rest on its own. You'll see the Wash, Rinse, Extra Rinse, and Spin LEDs light up solid to confirm it's calibrating.

  • WA45N3050AW
  • WA45N3050AW — Step 2 — Hold Power + Start/Pause together — the four LEDs (Wash, Rinse, Extra Rinse, Spin) go solid
