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.
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.
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.

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.
