It now drains. However, the spin is slow and the slipping noise is still occurring. Is a belt accessible which I may check?
Randy G,
Check the drain pump to be sure there is no blockage. Also check the drain filter and drain hose. If there is a drain blockage the washer won’t drain properly and therefore an error will appear and the washer will NOT spin.

Unless there is a malfunction in the display light, it is “HC-76”. It originally appeared during the “Rinse” cycle. It would not drain completely but continued to the “Spin” cycle and would slowly turn clockwise and counter clockwise. At this point the is when I could hear the noise which sounded as if something was slipping. I did not smell any type of burning. It seems to go thru its cycle, however, the time display is at a slower than normal rate.
Randy G,
First, please recheck Samsung washer error code. Is it HC or HE?
Does the washer fill and drain as normal EVEN THOUGH THE DRUM WILL NOT ROTATE?
At what point does the error code HC76 appear?
Do you smell any type of electrical burning smell or rubber burnt smell?
Does the washer go through the cycles or stop and will not run.
Please give more details so we may assist further.

I have a Samsung washer (Model #WF330ANB/XAA01) which I have had for 5 years. I have been experiencing problems draining and spinning. It displays “HC76” which is not mention in the manual. I have run several of the modes and cleaned out any clogs as instructed. When I attempted to run a cycle, the drum will not rotate. It makes a sound as though something is slipping. I removed the back of the unit but without removing any further I do not see anything. Can you assist me?
Bob,
We would call the appliance company we bought it from and either demand a new machine or a skilled repair person to come and repair. Why are you working on a one month old washer? PC error code does not show for Samsung in our database. Are you sure it is PC? Also, what do you mean you have to “calibrate” the washer before each wash? Can you give us the model number of your Samsung washer?

Dave,
Your Samsung washer is NOT DRAINING = ND.
Check the drain hose for bends, check the drain pump for clogs, check front filter and clean if needed (filter on front depends on model number of your Samsung washer).
-RR
I have an ND error code message and water is not draining. Any thoughts?
I get a PC code and washer stops working. If I calibrate the machine before every load it might finish the cycle. The machine is only a month old. Installers were back a second time to verify that the machine was level and connected properly. Called Samsung and they have no idea what the PC code means. Everything I can find tells me to check clutch. Any help will be appreciated.
Angel,
The 3E error code means a drive motor tach error. If you have already unplugged for 3 to 5 minutes and that did not help… Check the wiring on the drive motor and on the control board. Make sure they are secure and tight. IF so proceed next by checking the hall sensor. The hall sensor is in the back of the washer. It monitors the speed and tub direction. The sensor can be out of range or it could also have a bad wiring connection.
