Drain pump filter clog: The pump filter prevents debris from clogging the drain pump. If the filter becomes clogged, your Samsung washer leaves clothes wet because water can't sufficiently drain through it. Removing the drain pump filter for regular cleanings can prevent clogs.
Clogged or kinked drain hose
The drain hose should connect to the back of the washer where it's easy for it to kink or get crushed. If you see that the drain hose is neither kinked nor crushed, it may be a clog that's causing the drainage issue.
While placing garments in the dryer or on the clothesline right after the cycle finishes is best practice, wet laundry should generally not stay in the washer for more than 8-12 hours.
