Samsung Dv5471agp 27 ... The corner of the filter catches an item of clothing and twists it.

Oh NO if you recently moved it they sometimes lose a connection at the shock absorbers or become unseated. Also check your pump filter its a basket that catches larger items like coins and will cause retention of water and unbalanced spinning. Check your filter basket first and have something to catch water from its location. My first answer will require physically checking all 4 stabilizers to see if one has become unseated.

you need to check the gas supply
and venting system for any problems clogs etc
there is a detection circuit just for these and its very sensitive

I know, the filter is tough to get to and hard to turn, but there is a way to make it easier. Remove the contents from and take out the upper right shelf. It tilts upward from the front then releases from the rear mounting bracket. This allows you plenty of room to access the filter but it is still a tight fit. Use a jar opening aid (grip cloth), twist counter clockwise to remove; the bypass valve activates automatically. Oh, and place a towel on your second shelf to catch the run off, it's not a perfect design. If you are physically unable to accomplish this task, just explain these steps to the friend, neighbor, relative that can do it for you.

Only pace it could come from is vent isue in less its a steam dryer check dryer vent if its going down hill back to dryer change to straight vertical venting or if you do have a rise make a trap fitting wear water can be drained from time to time steam is water and steam will turn back into water after cooling

Put a whole house water filter on the cold side of the inlet water. I bet you have well water with lime in it??? Wash your clothes only in cold water. Rub a couple of empty loads with clorox, lime away, oxy clean to remove any build up in your washer

We have the same model and experience the same thing. The way I fix it is to remove the filter, then with a flash light I look down into the lint trap. You will notice that lint has built up in the track where the lint filter sits. I use a wooden skewer to run along the track and lift out the lent. Hope that helps

sound like front felt glide assy # upper felt seal part #134440200 lower felt seal #134134700 u can order these from sears.com


these componets support the front of drum and when felt wears away then clothing slips in gap and when dreyer tumbles clothing gets snagged in gap and tears clothing and leaves black scuffs

It may be backwards. But the first thing I would look for is if there is lint caught in the shute keeping it from going down all the way. If it is a newer model there is a lint screen sensor that may have come unattached and keeping the lint screen from going down all the way. Good luck.

Try not to wash large items with small items the large items like sheet will twist around the small item. causeing twisting and wrinkling. Also If you are overloading the clothes or underloading the clothes they will come out wrinkled. I would try to do some testing wash a load of only towels then wash a load of only t-shirts and other light weight items that you may have. Then do just a load of your jeans. What happens? Please let me know

Ebay item number 200262803398 is a cheap PDF service manual for this model.
