Washer won't drain - where is the filter to clean out?
SOURCE: hello i have a samsung
if the pump is clean and the motor works,it could be a blockage in the outlet pipe or the impeler in the pump is damaged,make sure there is some water in the machine, take the end of the oulet pipe and hold it over a bowl of some description if theres no blockage water should cone out of the pipe.if do not then its blocked,if it does then the pump is probably damaged.

Find you owners manual, it should say how to clean the button trap on your pump
Unplug the machine FIRST!
Get some towels, you will have water coming out.
if the tub is full of water you will need to bale it out!
Remove the lower front panel, usually two screws,
look for the pump it will have hoses on it. now lay some towels around, expect water.
Unscrew the end of the pump, if it has a button trap or lint filter.
it will be on or near the pump refer to your owners manual
If you dont have an owners manual you may find it at Samsung.com?

lefever352, I am currently trying to solve this same issue on the identical model. I removed , cleaned, and re-assembled all the water tubes and the entire pump assembly. The pump works but for some reason it is not priming into the drain tube. The pump assembly appears to have a diaphram over the outlet opening and it it looks like this might be the problem. I am still hunting the solution, BUT so far the above actions have to resolve our issue. I hope perhaps Fixya can help.
