How To Reset Samsung Washing Machine Error Codes?

Your Samsung washer can display many different error codes. No matter what the error code, you can try to reset the Samsung washer to erase, clear, or remove the error code by simply removing power to the washer. This can reset the main control board or whichever washer component that is causing the error code to appear. At times an error code is not truly an error, it may be just a “glitch” that has randomly appeared. Because of this, resetting the washer by removing power is the first thing to do.

How To Reset A Samsung Washing Machine When You Get An Error CodeHow To Reset A Samsung Washing Machine When You Get An Error Code

To reset your Samsung washing machine you need to simply disconnect the washing machine from power for 5 to 10 minutes. (Unplug the washer from the wall outlet or flip the breaker in the breaker box for the washing machine). Once the 5 to 10 minutes has passed, connect power to your Samsung washer and run a test wash load to see if the error code has cleared. If not, see below…

Newer digital Samsung washing machine error codes appear as a 2 digit code on the display screen, they can appear as letters or numbers or even both. When a code appears on your Samsung washer and you have already tried the unplug reset, you need to identify the error code to fix the washer.

Samsung washing machine error codes listHere is a list of some Samsung Washer Error/Fault Codes

Samsung Error Code DC means you have an unbalanced load. Move the clothing around to be sure clothing is not in one area. Spread it out and test to clear DC error code.

For an example, the Samsung Washer OE error code means the washer has detected an overfill situation. This may mean the water inlet valve is faulty or the water level sensor is faulty. Troubleshooting is needed for some error codes.

Other Samsung washer error codes simply need the door to be shut, the door switch changed, the water inlet valve replaced, or the drain pump filter to be cleared and or cleaned, etc…

Another example is the LE error code which means a Water leak error, it means the washer has excessive SUDS or possibly a faulty water level switch.

Other common error codes can be cleared by pressing the Start-Pause button or by removing power to the washer. See below…

    Error code AE6, control board needed replaced, bought new one and replaced it. Still having same error code on machine. Disconnecting from power for any length of time makes no difference. After unplugging washer, the last wash setting shows on display and will not let you change anything. When you push any of the settings, the machine just makes a chime noise. After it’s been plugged in for about 30 mins., the AE6 error code displays. Not sure what to do at this point.

    I usually have a cup a cookie sheet and some towels to catch as much water as possible.

    When the water is drained unscrew the filter basket to find the trail within. I’ve had coins dollar bills hair band all covered in sludge. Clean it out put it back together and try again.

    Good luck

    My Samsung keeps showing SUD. I know it’s suppose to be alerting me to the fact that there was maybe too much soap added but it has been happening with every load and it’s definitely not too much soap. How do I get it to stop showing SUD and interrupting my wash cycle? Thanks.

We have “reset” the machine, ran a clean cycle and have taken a level to the washer to ensure it’s properly level. Any ideas anyone??
