What's Samsung AddWash?

Samsung AddWash washing machines have a hatch that allows you to add forgotten laundry. You only have to pause the cycle briefly, so the water doesn't wash away. This saves you time and energy. You can read how to use an AddWash washing machine here.

AddWash: fast and energy-efficient

With Samsung Addwash, you can add forgotten pants or a shirt to your washing machine, even when the drum is already spinning. This means you don't have to turn on a separate cycle. The AddWash hatch can be used during the entire washing cycle . Do you have delicate laundry that you only want to rinse? If so, add these at the end of the washing cycle. For extra safety, AddWash only works with a washing program up to 50℃. To protect your children, the hatch doesn't work when the child lock is active.
