Samsung WA40J3000AW/A2-13 washer Parts

The Samsung WA40J3000AW is a top load washer (not a 4.5 cu. ft. front load model), and it is a solid, basic washer when it is installed level, loaded correctly, and maintained. For day-to-day laundry, it delivers dependable cleaning and a 700 RPM max spin; use the WA40J3000AW owner's manual to match cycles, load size, and options to your fabrics.

What this model is (so you can compare correctly)

This question usually comes up when shoppers are comparing capacity and features across Samsung washers. WA40J3000AW is a traditional top load design, so the pros and cons differ from front load machines.

Item	WA40J3000AW (this model)	Typical front load washer
Load style	Top load	Front load
Max spin	700 RPM	Often higher RPM
Odor risk	Lower (no door boot)	Higher if gasket and door area stay wet
Space needs	Needs lid clearance	Needs door swing clearance

What “good” looks like in real use

We consider this washer “good” when it is stable, fills properly, drains fully, and spins without excessive vibration.

• Install it level and keep all feet firmly on the floor (a worn foot can cause shaking; see washer leveling leg DC61-01722B).
• Do not overload; bulky items should be balanced around the tub.
• Use the right water pressure range (20 to 116 psi) for consistent filling.
• Keep the tub and dispenser areas clean to prevent residue and odors.
• If it will not drain or leaves water behind, check for a drain restriction or a failing pump (common replacement: washer drain pump assembly dc97-19289f).

Quick spec check (helps decide if it fits your space)

These model-specific dimensions come from the product specifications.

Measurement	Size
Width	27.0 in
Depth	29.3 in
Height	43.9 in
Height with lid open	58.1 in

Why it matters

A lot of “bad washer” complaints are actually setup or maintenance issues. A washer that is out of level, overloaded, or struggling to drain will be noisy, shake, and clean poorly even when the machine itself is fine.

The Samsung WA40J3000AW washer includes a limited warranty to the original purchaser; the warranty is nontransferable. For Canada, the warranty period is one (1) year parts and labor; for exact U.S. terms and coverage details, use the warranty section in the WA40J3000AW owner's manual.

What the warranty covers (in plain terms)

The limited warranty is intended to cover manufacturing defects in materials and workmanship during the stated warranty period.

Common examples of what this type of warranty is used for:

• A component fails under normal household use
• A factory defect causes a part to stop working early
• A covered part needs repair or replacement during the warranty period

What is typically not covered

Based on the warranty language in the manual, these items are commonly excluded from coverage:

• Damage from incorrect electric current, voltage, or supply
• House fuses or house wiring issues
• Installation errors or the cost to correct them
• Service visits that are only for instructions (how to use, maintain, or install)
• Problems caused by pest infestations

Quick warranty snapshot

Item	What to expect
Who is covered	Original purchaser only (nontransferable)
Canada term (stated)	1 year parts and labor
U.S. term	Check the warranty section in the manual for the exact term and details
What matters most	Proof of purchase, correct installation, proper power supply

Why it matters

Warranty coverage often depends on whether the washer was installed correctly and operated under normal conditions. If you are troubleshooting a failure, confirming basics like power supply, fill hoses, and drain setup helps you separate a warranty-type defect from an installation or household issue.
