Introdução
This guide shows you how to clean the filter of your Samsung Washing Machine (Model DC68-02807A-03) to ensure your washer lasts longer and works more effectively.
A washing machine filter traps all sorts of dust, lint, and loose hair from your clothes. However, over time as the filter accumulates all this unwanted stuff and is not cleaned out regularly, your machine will function less effectively and clothes won’t be washed properly. If your washing machine is not working and cleaning your clothes as well as it should, the most common reason is that your filter needs to be cleaned.
Before spending money on repairing your machine, check to see if your filter is free of debris. Often just regularly maintaining and cleaning out your filter ensures that your washing machine works as well as it should!
Note: Samsung recommends cleaning the filter once every two months.

Thanks…..
can you share where the filter is located on the
Samsung model DC68-03049A-01.
Hi! I apologize for the late reply, but I believe the filter for this model would be located inside the spin basket probably at the back. Here is the link to the model description and location of the filter https://www.manualslib.com/manual/147786.... Hope this helps!
It worked! Thank you!
Hi, thank you for this useful information. How often should the filter be replaced and how to order thank you
I can not get the cap off the drain hose. Any suggestions. I have tried twisting and pulling and it just won't come off
Hello, this might be due to the hose being severely blocked, try using pliers to twist and open it, hope this helps!
You should push in and twist counter clock wise
Mi lavadora no exprime la ropa alguien me puede decir que debo hacer de ante mano gracias
So I try getting the filter out even with the cloth it just doesn’t wanna come out any advice help
My best advice would be to try and use a screwdriver to try and pull the filter out, if that does not work try using pliers. The last resort would be to try and call someone from the service center for repair, most likely there is something stuck inside the filter.
Two things:
First: when I went through the process and drain the water from the hose until it stopped, following the directions, I inserted the plug back into the hose and return the hose to its original position. After which I removed the pump filter and had probably 1/3 of a cup of water leak from under my washing machine once I remove the filter.
I cleaned up that water and found a small rusty metal nut 🔩, only the outside piece inside of the filter cup, also leaving a rust stain on the base of the hole after removing the filter cup, and I have no idea where that screw came from or what it’s for, but I saved it.
I clean the rust stains off the filter cup, and the inside of the cup housing, went to my machine to replace the filter cup, and another third of a cup of water was on my floor.
When the instructions say to replace the plug into the hose and turn the filter cup to the left, should I open the hose again and attempt to drain whatever liquid comes from turning the filter clockwise the first time?
It was very difficult to remove the filter but I finally was able to get it out. I cleaned it & replaced it but the next time I ran the machine, water leaked out all over the laundry room floor. Is there something more I should do?
I can’t get the filter off, I pushed in and turning it counter clockwise and it just keeps turning and clicking
Rodger, mine is an LG, but they look identical, and what you describe is the same. In my case, and it sounds also here, the outer screw in portion isn't fixed to the filter, but rotates. (The filter itself is fixed in a particular orientation by an asymmetric template inside the machine.) Unscrewing the thing doesn't necessarily release it, but merely allows you to remove it. If the filter has some threads or hairs woven through it, as was the case in mine, possibly there is resistance that's keeping the filter fixed in place and which requires some persuasion to leave the mother ship.
Thank you! We have an LG machine, but the design is close to identical. What was a revelation to me was that there is a filter, and that it needs to be cleaned regularly. Of course I would have known that had I read the manual, but I'm a man. The filter wasn't blocked, but the slime that both drained out and had accumulated on the filter was foul.
