Barely one year old but pops breaker within a couple of minutes of starting cycle. At first it was once a month, now it's the last three times in succession.

The person that refurbished the apt. did it before we bought it. But it wasn't used until 6/1/24. I have to talk to Samsung about that.

Hello! Thank you for reaching out! It seems there could be an issue with the circuit breaker, it would be recommended to have a certified electrician inspect the circuit breaker first.

If the circuit breaker isn't rated properly for the appliance (e.g., 15A instead of 20A), it can trip.

Just remembered to check as we don't use it all that often. It is a 20amp breaker. I also removed the fine mesh filter and there is nothing stuck anywhere. All the parts in that area seem to be exactly as they should be.

It popped twice last night about 5-10 minutes after starting a normal cycle and again about 20 minutes later.

As far as I can tell, it has not popped when using Express mode.
