✅ Where are Samsung washing machines assembled

Samsung washing machines can be found in 170 countries around the world. To meet the needs of so many consumers, one plant located in Korea is not enough.

Therefore, they are produced in different countries. Read the article about where Samsung washing machines are assembled and which factories have proven themselves better than others.

Which countries are better to buy washing machines from?

Any modern family sooner or later faces the problem of choosing a washing machine for home use. Everyone has their own opinions about what to look for and what factors to consider when choosing. Most buyers take into account factors such as:

electricity consumption;
spin speed;
capacity;
functions;
washing class;
price;
manufacturer country.

It is believed that the best washing machines are made in Germany or Sweden, and in fact, this is true, the equipment is reliable, works quietly, everything is in the best traditions. Therefore, the price of such equipment is high. Washing machines are also produced in Italy, France, Poland, Turkey, China, Russia and even Finland.

The production of top and well-known brands is exported to other countries where labor is cheaper. For example, many Bosch brand appliances are assembled in factories in Turkey, Spain or Poland (depending on the specific model). Of course, production is carried out strictly according to German technology, but not by “pure-blooded Aryans”. The quality does not differ after moving production to Turkey or another country, because most technological processes are carried out by robots, and the human factor in production is minimized.

However, buyers are interested in the country of origin of the washing machine; people are less willing to buy equipment assembled in China, but brand awareness and attractive prices are more significant factors when purchasing equipment. According to statistics, Asian brands like Samsung and LG break down no more often than European brands like Bosch and Siemens.

Company Features

In 1993, the first Indesit washing machines, which were assembled in Italy, appeared on the Russian market. Since then, the situation has changed a lot and the company assembles its units in many countries, such as Portugal, Slovakia, Poland, China and France. In this regard, it is extremely difficult to find a “real” Italian assembly. To accurately determine in which country a particular washing machine was assembled, you need to carefully study the documents attached to it, where the country of assembly is usually indicated.

How to find out the manufacturing date of a Samsung SM?

If you want to buy the “latest” modification, you need to be able to find the year of manufacture - it is encrypted in the device’s serial number. It is a combination of Latin letters and numbers, for example - R38K503SRVD. In the case of the production date, you need the last character, if it is a letter, count 5 characters to the left. If the number ends with a number, also count from right to left in 5 steps.

The sixth character from the left is the month of manufacture. This is a number that corresponds to the month number, or a letter: A - October, B - November, C - December.
The seventh character from the left is the year of production. So, Y - 2005, L - 2006, P - 2007, Q - 2008, S - 2009, Z - 2010, B - 2011, C - 2012, D - 2013, F - 2014, G - 2015, H - 2016, J - 2022, K - 2022, M - 2022, N - 2022.

If you look at the example in the photo, the machine was made in May 2018.

Choosing a washing machine

Knowing all the intricacies of production, it is easier to choose high-quality original equipment. There are no difficulties in preferring certain parameters. It is important to determine the basic requirements for choosing a washing machine:

Manufacturer country;
Country of assembly;
Assembly type.

The choice then depends on the required functions:

Linen capacity;
Dimensions of the washing machine;
Availability of additional functions.

Washing machines of the Eurosoba are the smallest , their dimensions make it easy to install the machine under the sink. For most people living in small apartments, purchasing a washing machine is a problem.

The volume of the drum is no less important . For a small family there is no need to purchase a washing machine with a load of 5-6-7 kg, but on the contrary, a large family needs a spacious machine. It is quite difficult to find a high-quality washing machine that meets all the requirements. A good option for small families would be a washing machine from the Eurosoba brand; its capacity does not exceed 3 kg, and models of various designs will fit into any interior.

Where is Samsung SMA produced, interesting facts

The country of origin of Samsung automatic machines is South Korea, so it would be logical to try to translate the name, which literally means “three stars.” We were talking about the three sons of the company’s founders, and not about the class of technology, because today it deserves all 5 stars - electronics, including gadgets, are not inferior to the famous Apple products, and this is worth a lot. In Korean transcription, the word sounds like [samson], but do not confuse it with the Turkish port of Samsun - yes, yes, there are such places on our planet.

The company survived the Korean War and large-scale reform, but this did not prevent the company from becoming one of the top world leaders in electronics, chemicals, heavy industry, construction, financial industry and many other areas. Just look at Samsung Pay, its own payment system, huge charitable activities, sponsorship in sports (in particular, Chelsea FC), support for the Olympic movement, sponsorship of literature and art, etc. Therefore, Samsung is a really large company, with a rich history and wide range of activities and can be trusted, as do millions of users around the world.

Brand history

The history of the Samsung company begins back in 1938, when the enterprising Korean Chull Lee founded Samsung Trading Co. in Daegu. At first, the company was engaged in the supply of rice and sugar, then money was invested in its own sugar production, as well as in the insurance business. During World War II, almost all production was destroyed, and the business had to be started anew.

In 1951, Chull Lee revived the company, which within a year achieved unprecedented success. During this time, the company had to engage in securities trading, radio broadcasting, and publishing business. Only in 1969 did the production of televisions under the Samsung brand begin. This gave impetus to the creation and development of the Samsung Electronics Co. industry.

In 1974, the first Samsung refrigerator and washing machine appeared.

In 1979, the production of microwave ovens began, and in 1983 - personal computers. In the 90s, digital TVs, mobile phones and smartphones appeared. Today, the company has a representative office in 60 countries. Washing machines are assembled in China, Korea, Thailand, and the USA. In Russia, the Samsung plant was opened in 2008 in the Kaluga region. Washing machines are assembled mainly from Chinese spare parts; only some components are produced directly at the factory.

Assembly or production - that is the question

Specifically, the production of washing machines on our great and vast territory has been going on since the times of the Soviet Union. Everyone remembers such machines as “Malyutka”, “Fairy”, “Ob”, which were even presented in the form of semi-automatic devices! But as for the automatic machine, the first such “independent” machine in all functions was the “Vyatka-12”, which was manufactured on February 23, 1981.

And even in our time, well-known Russian-made washing machines cannot be called 100% Russian, because in 2005 the plant was bought by the promising Candy. They carried out work to update the equipment and then continued to develop production, not forgetting to introduce the latest technologies. Such cars are simply called cars assembled in the country, but they are in no way Russian.

The vast majority of enterprises that assemble washing machines are only representative offices of popular foreign companies (for example, Germany, Korea and Italy) or companies that bought the right to use the trademark and brand. About devices that are made in such places, they say that they were only assembled by Russian workers.

Build quality for the Russian market

The build quality of Samsung washing machines in Russia meets European standards .

The Kaluga plant has excellent equipment, thanks to which it is possible to provide the country with high-tech and reliable devices.

In terms of their level, Russian-made washing machines are no worse than their analogues assembled in Europe. Moreover, many European countries themselves purchase household appliances from the Russian Federation.

Producing countries in the world

Samsung washing machines are produced not only in Russia. There are factories in:

America,
Korea,
Poland,
Mexico,
China and other countries.

In America, the plant for the production of Samsung brand household appliances is located in South Carolina.
It began working at full capacity not so long ago - in 2018 . Its opening is a forced measure, since since 2017 the state government has introduced new duties on all equipment supplied from abroad.

Open production is designed to provide cars not only to America, but also to Canada.

Korea

Korea is the country that owns the Samsung brand . The machinery production plant is located in Gwangju. It produces and supplies devices for many countries. In past years they worked for export to the USA.

Mexico

In Mexico, the assembly point for the units is located in the city of Queretaro. Until the opening of the plant in the USA, Mexico sent equipment not only to stores in its country, but also to all states of North America.

The washer-dryer excels at both functions and produces clean, slightly damp laundry. This model knows 15 ways to wash your clothes from any dirt, even stubborn stains.

Built-in imbalance sensors and special compensators prevent the machine from “jumping” during spinning.
Ceramic heating element and inverter motor guarantee long-term trouble-free operation of the equipment.

Model rating

The rating is based on popular models of Samsung washing machines in 2022. Let's look at five of them, highlighting their advantages and disadvantages.

Samsung WF8590NLW8 – maximum load and excellent wash quality

The model has front loading and a maximum laundry capacity of 6 kg. The machine is equipped with eight operating modes. Choose an option based on the type of laundry, the quality of washing remains high. The washing machine interface is convenient and easy to use.

The only negative is the presence of noise during the spin cycle, but the annoying volume is different for everyone and not everyone will consider this nuisance as a disadvantage. Also, before washing, manufacturers advise leveling equipment to minimize jumps.

Large loading volume.
Design.
Stable during spinning.

Noisy at work.

Samsung WW65K42E08W – silence and exemplary performance

Intuitive controls, small size and the AddWash function are not all the charms of the model. A small hatch on the door allows you to add items during washing, but not in all modes.

Eco Bubble technology and Diamond drum wash stubborn stains even at low temperatures without damaging clothes. The stability of the machine during spinning reduces noise and ensures comfortable work.

Reloading laundry.
Simple controls.
Large load of laundry.

A little noisy when spinning.

Samsung WW90J6410CX – for global washes

The increased depth of the machine provides a maximum load of 9 kg. An expanded menu and number of modes, the presence of additional functions allows you to wash large volumes of items without compromising the quality of washing.

One of the advantages is the Smart Check fault diagnosis, which recognizes a fault when it breaks down.

Design.
Washing quality.
Variety of programs.

Dimensions.

Samsung WD70J5410AW – new features

Nice design, convenient controls and high information content – this is what fascinates the model. But the most important thing is drying and eliminating unpleasant odors.

Imagine pillows, blankets and other things that are not recommended to be washed, you just put them in the drum, press a button and you're done.

When choosing a unit, make sure that it will fit into the doorway. Its widest part is 60 cm.

Drying.
Informative display.
Capacity.

The depth of the machine is increased; it does not fit into all doorways.

Samsung WD80K5410OS – maximum functionality

A washing machine that keeps up with technology. Touch control, smartphone settings, 3 drying programs, bubble wash, 14 operating programs, AddWash, AirWash functions, Eco drum cleaning, silver design and black door - how can you not fall in love.

Only small flaws in the model can irritate. Namely: a loud click when the door slams, long drying time at maximum load and an inflated price.

Capacity.
Washing quality.
Quiet in operation.

Long drying time.

Whatever model you choose, the technology always remains at its best. It is not for nothing that the Samsung Corporation is one of the central figures in the production of high-tech technologies.

Countries where washing machines are manufactured

Many manufacturers of washing machines are trying to expand production in countries where there are a large number of potential buyers, especially for inexpensive equipment. Another factor in the location of the plant is the low cost of labor; if you reduce the cost of production of equipment, the profitability of the business will be higher. Equipment manufacturers are trying to combine these two factors and move production to China, Russia, Turkey and other countries.

How to find the serial number or IMEI?

If you were unable to find the serial number to find out the production date of the equipment, find the serial number by opening the hatch. The factory sticker can be located on the hinge, as in the photo - the model is underlined in red, the serial code in green.

Didn't find the sticker inside the hatch or is it damaged? Turn the washer “backwards towards the forest” - on the back you will see a sign that also contains information.

Features of washing machines

Samsung engineers are trying to develop and implement the most advanced technologies in washing machines, which improve the quality of washing and reduce energy and water consumption. Here are some of these technologies that can be found in different washing machines of this brand.

Eco Bubble technology, which means washing with air bubbles. Thanks to such bubbles introduced into the water, the powder dissolves better, the fabric fibers are not damaged, and things are rinsed better.
Can Balance balancing technology, thanks to which there is no imbalance in the load of laundry in the drum. Special balls are built into the drum at the back and front, which, when rotated, move towards the lighter weight, thereby compensating for the uneven distribution of things.
Diamond Honeycomb Drum. The inner surface of the drum resembles the facets of precious stones; the water inlet holes are several times smaller than in a conventional drum. This surface does not damage fabrics or shorten their service life, so you can wash even the most delicate items.
The ceramic heater is another innovation from Samsung manufacturers, who say that such a heater is not susceptible to scale formation even in the hardest water, which ensures a long service life.
The original Jod Dial switch, developed by Samsung, allows you to easily select the desired program by turning a single knob.
Volt Control power control technology that protects the control module from power surges.
VRT-M technology, which reduces vibration and noise.

As for the reliability and quality of washing machines of this brand, much depends on the assembly. The Korean assembly is an order of magnitude higher quality than the Russian one, but at the same time the cost of the Korean machine will be slightly higher. In general, the service life of the washing machine will depend on the quality of the components.

For your information! The manufacturer specifies a 10-year warranty on inverter motors in modern models. The warranty period for the machine itself can range from one to three years.

Reviews about washing machines of this brand are also mixed. Some are satisfied with the quality of washing, spinning, and program “filling”. Others, on the contrary, write that during the short service life they had to repeatedly seek repairs.
