    I have a Samsung top loading washer and it was giving the dc code every wash and now it’s giving the3E code…..any ideas anyone??

  2. I have a Samsung washer model# WA5471ABWXAA error code is E1 there is a digit in front of the E but not sure what it is looks like a 6 but missing part of it what does this mean I am leaning towards temp issue

  3. Hi my Samsung top loader washer is send a code 8c and is also not draining very fast. I’ve check the drain line it seem ok.
    Does anyone have any idea what wrong with it?

  4. I have a top loading Samsung VRT. Every time we use the washer, if it’s not on a quick wash or an all cold water wash, it shuts down with a 4C code. You have to unplug and then plug in to be able to power it off. There is no kink or obstruction in the lines and no matter how long you unplug it doesn’t reset. Just keeps doing the same thing over and over

  5. i have a Samsung washer. it is showing an error of 7e14 i have already checked all hoses and no kinks, i have reset the washer no luck, still showing the error. what do i do next.

  6. Please help. I have a Samsung vrt top load washer and it always worked fine until one day I turned it on and when I did, it immediately powered off. It displayed a code of c6 I believe. It happened quickly. Then turned off and won’t turn back on. I’ve tried all troubleshooting tips I found online. But nothing. I did take check the noise filter and had it tested. Noticed that power is going in but not out to the main board. So could it be the noise filter? Please help , any info is appreciated .

  7. have multiple error codes such as Uc , 2a , and 9e …I have a samsung top load vrt washer…Washer will power on but will not start any cycle due to the door will not lock… it will not even lock in quick test mode ..I have taken the whole thing apart and still no luck…i might get lucky and the door will lock and start a cycle for acoulpe of seconds but then stops again.. any advise will be helpfull .. thanks

  8. I have a new Samsung WW85K5410ww Add Door washing machine. Worked fine for the first 3 months. Yesterday I tried putting a load through and it won’t go further then the first 3 minutes. Starts to fill with water then just stops after 3 minutes. No error code showed up however after I turn it off then on again and do Smart Check, it comes up that the Add door is open. The Add Door is definitely closed, I have checked for anything that may be jamming it or the actual door but it looks fine.
    I have tried unplugging the machine, different cycles, checked the hoses etc. Called Samsung and they couldn’t help me. Any ideas?

  9. I have a front loading 9kg ecobubble wf90f5e5u4w Washing Machine. When the drum is on the ‘slow turning’ part of the cycle it does not turn.
    The drum turns freely by hand and it does not give an error code it just stops the cycle.
    I also slipped the belt off and the motor was not turning properly then either.
    So I think it must be either the motor or the drive circuit.
    The smart check function also says to check motor so I have checked connections on the motor and the main board (again it could be the motor or drive circuits at fault).
    It is the induction motor type so does not have brushes it is less than two years old so a total failure of the motor seems strange (i am another who did not register the warranty so Samsung won’t honour the 10 year motor warranty).
    Before spending a lot of money on a new motor any thoughts?

  10. Have new front loading washer, will not cycle a wash without a code of 4C, Samsung has been no help at all 12 plus phone calls, and also emails the worst customer service I have ever dealt with. Model is Wf45K6500AV/A2

  11. I have an eco bubble 8kg and lately after each cycle, whatever the cycle or program used to wash, a red drum appears on the front panel.

    Erin,
    Samsung Washing Machine Error Code AE6 means = Communication error between INVERTER PBA and MAIN PBA.
    Check to be sure the wiring harness going to and from the main control panel outward are secure and not loose.
    If all wire harnesses are tight and in place, you may have a faulty board.
    Call the company you bought it from as there should be a warranty.
    -RR

  13. We only got our front old Samsung washer 3 weeks ago and it’s basically “frozen” on normal wash, displaying the error code “AE6”.
    How could it already be having error codes when it’s so new?! And what can I do?

  14. Please assist my samsung washing machine is displaying a 4C error code. It seems to wash fine then does not spin.

  15. We have a samsung diamond drum top loader WA75H4000SG/ST and the red light possibly indicating a drum problem (light below the lock feature) has been red after the last 2 washes. I can’t find what it means anywhere…

    MJ,
    Samsung dryer error code 2E can usually be fixed by unplugging the washer for 10 minutes. This may reset it and clear the 2E fault code. If this does not work, you need to check the wiring harness from the mainboard outward. Be sure all wiring harnesses are secure.
    -RR

  17. I’m having this same problem. When I measure resistance at the wiring harness going to the stator with the machine unplugged I do not get a reading at all. Nor do I get anything close to 2000 ohms when I check resistance at the stator it self, just a very low reading…?

  18. Sanjeev Kr Mishra

    I have a Samsung washing machine WF1600NCW.
    I encountered “Uc” error code on display and learned that it is due to voltage surge.
    I waited until normal voltage arrives and machine started to operate normally as usual.

    As of late, I am encountering the OE error code that shows following problem/s as:
    1) At Power On mode, while commanding programme in 63 minutes wash loaded normally with standard detergent and laundry, water comes into tub more than normally encountered before. OE error then displays in washing machine monitor leading to draining out of excess water automatically.
    2) There is no water flow, while water supply tap is on, to the tub in Power Off mode.

    I have also gone through for my case the following:
    1) Water valve might be blinking
    2a) Possibly, rubber hose from bottom of tub to the side of water level sensor might be chocked and be freed by pushing air only by aforementioned mechanics.
    2b) Possibly, water level sensor is blinking.

  19. Thanks for the reply Ian,Z.

    I had already checked the inlet valves for continuity and all tested good. Since my last post, I also order a new Control board thinking that may have been the problem since there was never an error code thrown.. However, I swapped the board and the exact same issue. I can hear the pump running however something is not telling the water inlet valve to open.. it will continue to run like this and you can not pause or stop it from the power or pause buttons, the machine has to be unplugged to stop it. Im wondering now if its the control panel.

    thanks
    Garry,..

    Test the water inlet valves.
    Next be sure the wiring to and from the main control board are secure.
    If no go, replace damaged wire harnesses or replace the board.

    Ian Z,
    Be sure the actual board that is displaying the code ERR is connected securely.
    Check the wire harnesses leading to and from the board on your Samsung washer.
    Use caution… unplug washer.
    -RR

  22. I have a Samsung HE front loader WF42H5400 AF/A2 that’s a couple years old.
    For some reason, its not getting water however its not throwing any codes… it will startup and you can hear clicking but no water… I checked the water supply and screens, all good, I ohm out the water inlet valves. All good, I checked the coin filter, all clean..
    and you can’t turn it off, it just keeps running like it’s waiting to fill with water. It has to be unplugged to turn it off.. I left unplugged over night and it still does the same thing. Powers up, starts the cycle however no water.
    I did pull the cover off the control board and there is a red flashing light on the board however I don’t know if that’s a problem with the board or if the board is indicating a problem somewhere else in the system.

  23. Samsung washing machine, every wash flashes ERR from the start continuously. Sometimes the wash still goes ahead regardless, other times it stalls and sits there. No error code, just ERR and constant beeping. Pressing pause can change the time of the wash for no reason. Tried unplugging but it just reverts to same. Hate any electronic washers for this reason.

    You most likely have a faulty door locking assembly.
    Here is a page to show you what to do in your situation about the Samsung washer DC error.

    To open the Samsung washer door if stuck or locked and the mechanism is faulty, Samsung front loaders have a small door located near the base that you can open and inside you should find an emergency pull release for the machine door.
    -RR

  25. My Samsung washing machine is not opening, it keeps on making the lock sound repeatedly until it will show DC1 error. it’s been like that for over a week now. I couldn’t retract the fabrics within. Please is there a way I can open it manually. Please reply ASAP.

  26. I have Samsung washing machine model-WA80V9.
    The machine is not operating and error code shows t01 also “spin” led glows.
    Some time machine is working, after long time switch off the machine.

  27. I have a wa48j7700a top load
    And it is not supplying water and now it shows the code pc, what does it mean?

    Carl C,
    Error Code PE on Samsung washer means = The control board is not detecting that the clutch motor is working properly.
    Usually there are not many control boards bad and the clutch motors are reliable.
    The problem is MOST LIKELY in the wiring.
    You will need a multi-meter to check the ohms and continuity.
    Test voltage going to the clutch.
    Voltage should be 120 vac.
    Check resistance through wiring harness to be sure the wiring is secure and not damaged.

    DO THIS:
    Unplug the washer.
    Check the wire connections between the clutch motor and the main electronic control board.
    Check for loose wires or replace the wire harnesses if damaged.
    If the wires check good then disconnect the clutch motor wire harness and measure the resistance between terminals 1 & 3.
    It should measure around 2,000 ohms.
    If you measure infinite resistance then replace the clutch motor.
    If the clutch measures infinite resistance it is broken.
    Parts that need checked or replaced: clutch motor & wire harness.

  29. Wow I wish I did this sooner. I have a Samsung washer model # wa48h7400aw/a2 that I bought 2 months ago. It hasn’t worked yet, not once. After 7 visits from repair man it currently displays a PE code, any clue?? My gut tells me the devil’s in the details and it’s probably something that’s been stupidly over looked.

    Mr OLUWASEYI,
    Samsung Washer = 8E = OVER CURRENT ERROR

    IPM fault signal (this is caused by the overload of the MICOM INTO during motor action).

    IPM: Integrated power module.

    The IPM controls the motor.

    If the fault (low signal) happens to be sensed even once during the washing/rinsing stage, the motor stops immediately.

    However, during the dehydrating stage the signal is to be sensed, when the number of signals reads more than 6 per 500 ms during the Washing or Rinsing cycle action.

    If the motor stops working, in one direction ten times, “8E” Error is displayed.

    During dehydrating, when the overload is sensed, the motor stops working at once and then feeds back to the initial stage of the dehydration unbalance sensing. When the feed back has occcurred twice, Error “8E” is displayed during the dehydrating unbalance sensing, No error happens by overload sensing. When it happens at more than 800 rpm, the process is stopped compulsorily.

    Power Switch OFF can clear the overload error.

    Le/1E/Ie/lE Error Code
    If you see the words/letters “LE”, “Le”, “1e”, “1E”, “le”, “lE”, “Suds”, “SUDS”, or “sUDS” on the display, it is an indication of “oversudsing” or a water level error. This is almost always caused by using too much bleach, softener, detergent or non-HE detergent. However, this could mean there is an issue with the water level sensor.

  35. What should i do? My Samsung WM top load displays 1E any advice what can i do here thanks.

  36. I have a top loader Samsung WA80V3. First it overflowed and I have checked the pressure switch and cleaned the draining hose, filter.
    Now its displaying 4E error when water reached its level. Its also not spinning when I put it on spin function to drain water.

  37. DIY Project Help Tips

    Bradley,
    Samsung 4E error means a water inlet problem or the machine cannot get water. Make sure the source water tap is turned on and check the water pressure.
    Turn the machine OFF.
    Turn the water tap OFF.
    Remove the water hose from the tap and dispense the water into a sink.
    Remove the entire hose. Check for Kinks. Check for Clogs.
    Check if water supply is good.
    Check, remove, and then clean the first mesh filter.
    Check and clean the second mesh filter.
    Test the unit by turning it on and by performing a normal wash cycle.

  38. I have a Samsung WA45H7000A/A2 top load washer. It displays the 4E code during a wash cycle, but will work perfectly through just a rinse cycle. I have check the hoses and filters and all are fine and have good water pressure. Any input would be great!

  39. DIY Project Help Tips

    Kirk,
    If your Samsung washer gets the 4E error code, have you made sure the Water Hose Mesh Filters are clean? The error code 4E does mean the washer is having issues getting WATER supplied to it. This error will be released using Start/Pause button and the washing machine will restart and attempt to fill with water again.

    If you replaced the water inlet valve and you still get the 4E error code, there is still some type of water supply issue. It may sound simple but check the Mesh Filters as this is one of the main reasons a Samsung washer will get the 4E error.

    You may want to check the wiring coming from the Pcb and pressure switch and check the connections. Try opening the washer and clean the pressure bowl and pipes that run to the pressure switch.
    -RR

  40. I have a Samsung WA45H7000AW/A2 Washer Top Load, giving a 4E error, and I have done the following:
    Checked to make sure the hot and cold are getting good pressure.
    Made sure the hoses have no leaks, kinks or clogs.
    The HOT and COLD are turned on and fully on.
    Replaced the water inlet valve.
    I tried different washes from Quick wash, normal wash, to rinse and spin. All fail.
    I have also completed a successful calibration on it.

    The washer starts, locks the door, begins the pre-wash (spray and spin drum), starts to fill both hot and cold. Gets about 10 minutes into the cycle with about 2 1/2 inches of water in the tub and then it throws a 4E error. Immediately it dumps the water and it takes about 10 minutes before you can power the washer off from the 4E error.

    What else can I do?

    S.E. Toth,
    The Samsung error code D5 or DS is the same. The D5 error is actually DS. The code means the Samsung washing machine thinks the door is open or unlocked during the cycle. The door has to be checked to be sure it is shutting or closing correctly. Is it getting properly closed? The problem is related to faulty door locking assembly. You will need to check the door switch to confirm it is faulty. Let us know what you find.

The timing while in operation in reducing from 28 mins to 5 mins but again goes to 20 mins and the cycle continues till the time i do not stop it. Seems there is some major issue. Can you help me?

  47. Richard De Marco

    I have a Samsung top loader –Model number WA50F9A8DSP/A2.

    The water comes on to fill the tub when the start button is pressed and stays on through out the cycle. So even when the machine is spin drying the water is still running. Water goes off at the end of wash cycle and the drum is filled with water. The correct sequence for the past few years should be press the start button then select wash mode then hit start and the door locks and the machine starts the cycle and water shuts off once filled.

    Yilian Turcios,
    It is most likely a 5E error code and not SE…. 5E error means clogged debris filter… Samsung Front Load Washers have debris filter access panels located on the front of the unit. The filter is housed inside of the drain pump to prevent the drain hose from being clogged. If not cleaned regularly, unpleasant odor, draining, and filling issues will arise hence the 5E error code. Clean the filter and the error code should clear.

  73. Unless there is a malfunction in the display light, it is “HC-76”. It originally appeared during the “Rinse” cycle. It would not drain completely but continued to the “Spin” cycle and would slowly turn clockwise and counter clockwise. At this point the is when I could hear the noise which sounded as if something was slipping. I did not smell any type of burning. It seems to go thru its cycle, however, the time display is at a slower than normal rate.

    Randy G,
    First, please recheck Samsung washer error code. Is it HC or HE?
    Does the washer fill and drain as normal EVEN THOUGH THE DRUM WILL NOT ROTATE?
    At what point does the error code HC76 appear?
    Do you smell any type of electrical burning smell or rubber burnt smell?
    Does the washer go through the cycles or stop and will not run.
    Please give more details so we may assist further.

  75. I have a Samsung washer (Model #WF330ANB/XAA01) which I have had for 5 years. I have been experiencing problems draining and spinning. It displays “HC76” which is not mention in the manual. I have run several of the modes and cleaned out any clogs as instructed. When I attempted to run a cycle, the drum will not rotate. It makes a sound as though something is slipping. I removed the back of the unit but without removing any further I do not see anything. Can you assist me?

    Bob,
    We would call the appliance company we bought it from and either demand a new machine or a skilled repair person to come and repair. Why are you working on a one month old washer? PC error code does not show for Samsung in our database. Are you sure it is PC? Also, what do you mean you have to “calibrate” the washer before each wash? Can you give us the model number of your Samsung washer?

    Your Samsung washer is NOT DRAINING = ND.
    Check the drain hose for bends, check the drain pump for clogs, check front filter and clean if needed (filter on front depends on model number of your Samsung washer).

  78. I get a PC code and washer stops working. If I calibrate the machine before every load it might finish the cycle. The machine is only a month old. Installers were back a second time to verify that the machine was level and connected properly. Called Samsung and they have no idea what the PC code means. Everything I can find tells me to check clutch. Any help will be appreciated.

    The 3E error code means a drive motor tach error. If you have already unplugged for 3 to 5 minutes and that did not help… Check the wiring on the drive motor and on the control board. Make sure they are secure and tight. IF so proceed next by checking the hall sensor. The hall sensor is in the back of the washer. It monitors the speed and tub direction. The sensor can be out of range or it could also have a bad wiring connection.

  80. Samsung washer model #WF209ANWAR/XXA. I’m getting E3 error code. Checked the wires and they are all in place. Even unplugged it like one website said to do. I don’t know what else to do or what would need to be replaced. My husband was the one to look up the code and what to do to try to fix it. But he is not home and I would like to know what to do next?

  81. This washer Samsung WA400 goes unbalanced with or without clothes in it. Thinking the suspension rods and springs need replaced.

    Thomas,
    Do you believe the machine is actually seeing a true unbalanced wash load or the washer is sensing a false unbalance? Is the issue constantly happening or is it every now and then? Are you overloading the washer or washing large items like blankets or towels? Here is a Samsung washer DC error video to let you see what Samsung suggests.

    If your Samsung washing machine is flashing or displaying the E2 error code, the control panel is most likely needing to be replaced. This error code indicates the computer senses a stuck or shorted key on the keypad. The key pad is actually a user interface PCB control.

  85. Just replaced the pump in my Samsung front load washer 2 months ago. It worked fine and then we moved and now it’s throwing an E2 code. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

    Is the door locked and will not open? You may have a door locking mechanism fault. Check wiring harnesses and test door lock with meter. Have you tried unplugging the washer for 5 minutes?

  87. Our Samsung washing Machine WD8602R8W is not working. It is not showing any error code. When we push the button to start it, it’s stuck and shows the sign of a lock (not the child lock) simply the photo of a lock. Will be pleased if someone can guide to solve the problem.

    Either get a new drain hose or reposition it and secure it so this does not happen. If the drain hose is NOT the issue, you may have a clogged drain pump. Check drain pump for debris.

  89. I have a Samsung with yo the 5E error too. I have checked and cleaned the debris filter an have the drain hose now going directly into the tub. A bit of water comes out the drain hose as it tries to drain but I suspect not enough. Still getting the 5E error when I try a rinse and spin.

    You need to check the wire harness to be sure it is not loose or unhooked. Use your Samsung washers manual and Go to “Quick Test Mode” to test motor.”

    Bernadette,
    Disconnect power for 15 minutes. Plug the washer back in and machine should be reset. If this does not solve your problem and this happens again, please try to see what the full error code is. You could take a picture and email it to us if needed.

  95. I have a front loading Samsung WF8802RPF1/XSA washing machine I have an error message. Which I think is meant to read “E E2” The first “E” is cut off in the display I don’t know what this means but it is constant and I can’t do anything with my machine. I can’t open the door to get my wet clothes out of the machine

    MKS,
    You may have a water inlet problem or the machine cannot feed itself with water. Check to be sure both hot and cold water is on. Check for kinks. If this is ok, you may have an issue with the water inlet valve. Check to be sure all wiring harnesses are tight and secure. Does your washer fill with water? Does the washer display the 4E error code at initial start of wash cycle?

  98. I am having a problem with the Samsung Front Loader washing machine – WF856U4SAGD. Initially I get the 5E error, then I check the water pump and clean everything………..it’s ok but now I get the 4E error, what shall I do?
