What Setting Should You Use to Wash Towels in a Samsung Washer?

Choose TOWELS if it appears on your Samsung washer. If not, Normal may suit everyday cotton towels. Always check the care label, model manual, and load guidance.

Choose the TOWELS cycle if your Samsung washer has one. If it does not, Normal is a reasonable fallback for everyday cotton towels, provided the washer manual and towel care label support it. Set the water temperature from the care label rather than assuming every towel can be washed hot.

Which Samsung washer setting should you choose?

Your situation Setting to consider Important qualification
Your washer lists TOWELS TOWELS Samsung describes it for bath towels, washcloths, and mats. Check the manual for your model’s load limit. Samsung US cycle guidance
Your washer has no TOWELS cycle Normal Samsung Canada describes Normal as a standard cycle for everyday items, including cottons and towels. Confirm that it suits your washer and towel fabric. Samsung Canada washer guidance
White towels whose labels permit hot water Whites/Hot, or Normal if Whites is unavailable Samsung’s hot-water advice applies to white items that can tolerate hot water; it is not a blanket instruction for colored towels. Samsung US white-laundry instructions
Colored towels, delicate fabric, or an unclear label Follow the care label and washer manual Generic towel-cycle advice does not establish a suitable temperature for every fabric or color. Samsung Canada towel guidance

How to find the right cycle on your model

  1. Check the washer’s cycle list. Look at the control panel for TOWELS, or consult the manual for the exact model. Samsung says cycle availability and settings vary by model. Samsung Canada and Samsung UK both advise checking model-specific cycle information.
  2. Read the towel’s care label. Use it to decide which water temperatures and treatments are permitted. In particular, do not select hot water for a colored or delicate towel based only on general advice for white laundry.
  3. Choose the cycle that fits both. Use TOWELS when present and appropriate; otherwise consider Normal for everyday cotton towels. Follow the washer manual if it gives different directions.
  4. Keep the load within the model’s guidance. Samsung’s US towel-cycle guidance recommends no more than half a load (6 pounds) of towels for best results on the models covered by that page. Samsung Canada also recommends up to half a load for optimal absorption. These are model-scoped recommendations, not universal capacity specifications. Samsung US; Samsung Canada

Can you wash towels in hot water?

Only use hot water when the towel’s care label allows it. Samsung recommends the Whites/Hot cycle for white items, including towels, that can withstand hot water; if Whites is not available, its US guidance says to use Normal. That advice concerns white laundry and should not be generalized to colored towels or fabrics with different care instructions.

How much detergent should you use, and what about bleach?

Use detergent suitable for the towel and washer, following the product directions and the washer manual. Samsung’s white-towel instructions direct users to put detergent in the detergent drawer. Bleach is not required for an ordinary towel wash. If you choose an appropriate whitener for white towels, check both the towel and washer instructions; Samsung specifically says not to put chlorine bleach in the detergent compartment. Use the designated bleach compartment, noting that its location can differ between top- and front-load washers. Samsung Canada

Why your Samsung may have different cycles or settings

Cycle names, temperature choices, and availability vary by model and market, so a setting shown for one Samsung washer may not appear on yours. Use the manual or official support page for your exact model rather than applying another model’s chart. For example, Samsung publishes a specific cycle chart for the WA52M7750A and WA52M7755A; it is not a general chart for every Samsung washer. Samsung WA52M7750A / WA52M7755A cycle chart
