    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.

  2. 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?

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

  4. 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

  6. 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…?
