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.
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.

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.
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.
Julius,
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.
