Thank u Countryman for the first "common sense" answer. My husband fiddle with the hot and cold water valves and after 3 hours determined he had turned the cold water valve OFF == hence -- we were getting nf code on the rinse cycle because it only uses cold water. Wow - this machine is a lot smarter than we are!
Put the temp select switch on HOT, start machine. If water comes out check the flow amount. If no water flow, replace inlet water valve. If there is water flow switch to COLD, start machine. If water comes out check the flow amount should be approximately equal or slightly more than flow on HOT. If no water flow, replace inlet water valve. Move selector to WARM, start machine. Now there should be twice the flow of water than there was with HOT and COLD temps. I suspect it is the HOT side of inlet water valve that has failed because machines usually rinse with COLD water.
checked as suggested above. discovered that on hot cycle, only cold water entering tub. no hot entering maching. touching inlet line shows no warming up as would occur if hot water was entering. if inlet valve is not working can it be reset or must it be replaced. this washer is 2 months old.
Well you do have the option of just washing in cold. The manual suggests that you cap the hot water side of the valve and select the TAP COLD option. But i don't know that it would hurt to leave the hose hooked up in place of a cap. I gotta say though if the HOT side is out i'm surprised any water came out at all. I take it the hose carrying the hot water is slightly warm to the touch. You might try turning off the HOT tap and loosening the connection at the machine. Wait for the hose to relax before unscrewing too far. If it doesn't relax STOP retighten and let me know. After removing the hose check the screen condition in the end of valve. Those screens can become fouled with lime and other debris. Use a toothbrush and a spray bottle to remove crud. Hold the end of the hose over a bucket or in the tub of washer and turn on TAP until HOT water flows. Check the pressure, it doesn't have to blast out of there (but it likely will if you turn TAP too far, so be careful) still it has to be more than a weak flow. If the screens are clean and if there is a good flow of HOT water the water valve should push hot water into the machine if it doesn't it is defective and will need replaced. BUT, before you do that you should try one more thing. Make sure you UNPLUG THE MACHINE FOR THIS! Open the console and disconnect and reconnect every wire connector you see. If a connection doesn't pop right off just give it a good wiggle. The goal here is to verify that connections are good, so reseat what you can and wiggle the rest and give wires that go through plastic connectors a slight push from behind the connector. Then plug the machine back in and give it a try.
I actually just fixed one of my own machines using the last method mentioned last Friday. No water entered tub and machine went immediately to agitating. Opened console wiggled wires (took about a minute) tested the machine and it was back to normal. So it happens.
On the other hand if you want HOT water there is no reason you shouldn't have it. Look at these: http://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_trksid=p... It's an easy do it yourself fix.

Here is the best troubleshooting manual i've ever seen. It's PDF:

I found it here:

NOTE: If water is not entering tub, you almost certainly need to replace the water valve. If water is entering tub but won't fill your drain pump is suspect. Hope this helps.

here is the most common cause for this problem, according to the Samsung repair guy that was here to fix mine today.
On these washing machines it is possible for some debris (in my case it was a small screw from my packet) to make its way passed the drum and into the pump. Once this happens then the impeller of the pump becomes restricted or completely blocked which will result in the above mentione symptoms.
On some machines the pump is on the front, on others at the rear of the machine. In my case it was at the rear, removing the rear panel will allow easy access to it. Have a bucket ready, when the hose is removed from the pump the water will be draining from the machine. 3 bolts and a hose clamp on the inlet and another on the outlet hose. Disconnect the electrical plug from the pump and you can remove it from the machine for cleaning. A very easy job, requiring little skills and not much in terms of tools. (make sure machine is UNPLUGGED from AC outlet)
Remove obstruction(s) from pump and reinstall in reverse order of disassembly. The guy says these pumps are really tough so if you hear it buzzing, trying to go while it's jammed it's a good sign it will work. If not, replacement will be necessary.
Cost me $140. Could have been worse I suppose. Advise: Empty pockets BEFORE washing clothes...

If you have pulled out and cleaned the filter at the back of the machine where the hose connects then I would check that your pump is not running during the cycle and also make sure your drain line is at least half way above your drum at its highest point, If its too low then it will drain off even if the pump is not running.

Tell me, do you notice the water filling and going against the "glass" door and going straight to the overfill trap bellow the door?
Let me know.

Hi from retired Englishman in SW France,
First is to empty the water out. This can be done by following my (complete) general guidance notes below for checking the drain motor lint tray/filter and the motor.
'nf' means NO FEED and what happened afterward indicates that the water feed control valve is malfunctioning, initially not opening for water to be fed but then sticking open.
So follow these notes, particularly those in capital letters, to find how to empty the washer, and to check the state of the filter which is needed on a regular basis anyway ;-0)
Next will be a call to a service engineer to sort out the suspect valve.Sorry ;-0(
-------------------------------------------------------------
I would suggest as a first step that you clean the drain motor lint tray/filter. So many 'faults' are caused by blocked filters. The motor is unable to drain all of the water in the allotted time.
If you are unsure where the filter is, it is often behind the front lower (kick) panel (or in some machines at the rear in an awkward position!) and held in by a round cover/knob.
REMOVE POWER AND ENSURE YOU HAVE A WATER RECEPTACLE/RAGS TO SOAK UP THE WATER WHICH IS BOUND TO POUR OUT!
It's surprising what people have found in theirs! It is always worthwhile checking it on a regular basis.
Now- whilst the filter is removed it is normally possible to see the drain motor and ensure it is not jammed by a foreign object such as a needle or a toothpick. It should be able to be turned by hand/finger- the power IS OFF!
At this point it is also possible to test if the motor works. No clothes or water in the machine, select a spin cycle and put the power back on. You should be able to see the motor turning at some point, possibly straight away. If it doesn't work then the motor is malfunctioning!
Good luck!

Hello & Welcome to
FixYa
NF error in your washer is displayed due to no fill condition,
when the washer tries to fill but is unable to nf is displayed. Please check
the water inlet valve for any clogs and obstructions, you can also clean the
inlet to solve the issue. Please
get back to me if you have any other questions.
