To customize the Auto Dispense feature on your Samsung washing machine, follow these steps to adjust detergent and softener amounts per wash or rinse cycle.

1. How to Change the Auto Dispense Settings on Your Samsung Washing Machine

Samsung washing machines with the Auto Dispense feature allow you to set the amount of detergent and softener dispensed per wash or rinse cycle. Follow these steps to modify the settings:

1. Open the washing machine control panel and navigate to the settings menu.
2. Select the "Auto Dispense" option to access the detergent and softener settings.
3. Choose either "Dose per Wash" (for detergent) or "Dose per Rinse" (for softener).
4. Select your preferred setting from the options: Off, Low, Med, or High. "Med" is the default setting.
5. Confirm your selection to save the changes.

If you prefer to disable the Auto Dispense feature entirely, select "Off" in the settings. You can then manually add detergent or softener during each wash cycle.

2. Why Adjust the Auto Dispense Settings?

- Customize detergent and softener amounts based on fabric type or load size.

- Prevent overuse or underuse of detergent and softener for optimal cleaning results.

- Save time by pre-setting doses for multiple washes up to one month.

3. Additional Things to Check

Ensure the detergent tank is properly filled and securely attached before adjusting the settings. If the tank is empty or improperly installed, the Auto Dispense feature may not function correctly.

4. Supported Samsung Washing Machines

The Auto Dispense feature is available on select Samsung washing machine models, including the latest Galaxy-inspired designs. Refer to your user manual for compatibility details.

5. When to Use Manual Detergent Addition
