My washing machine is showing a SE code and wont drain water it washes and then just stops and wont drain water.
Tiffany,
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.”

I have a top loader Samsung VRT washer and I am getting the error 3E.. Is there anything I can do to reset machine or is this a lost cause and have to call for repair?
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.

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
Jimmy,
Are you sure the error code is F409? What is going wrong on your washer? Please give a detailed description.

On my samsung washing machine wf410anr, what is the error code f409 mean?
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?
