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.

Samsung washer model #WF209ANWAR/XXA. I’m getting E3 error code. Checked the wires and they are all in place. Even unplugged it like one website said to do. I don’t know what else to do or what would need to be replaced. My husband was the one to look up the code and what to do to try to fix it. But he is not home and I would like to know what to do next?
This washer Samsung WA400 goes unbalanced with or without clothes in it. Thinking the suspension rods and springs need replaced.
Thomas,
Do you believe the machine is actually seeing a true unbalanced wash load or the washer is sensing a false unbalance? Is the issue constantly happening or is it every now and then? Are you overloading the washer or washing large items like blankets or towels? Here is a Samsung washer DC error video to let you see what Samsung suggests.

I have a Samsung WA400 that goes into an unbalanced condition and gives a DC error code. It will only spin for four minutes. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Alison,
If your Samsung washing machine is flashing or displaying the E2 error code, the control panel is most likely needing to be replaced. This error code indicates the computer senses a stuck or shorted key on the keypad. The key pad is actually a user interface PCB control.

Just replaced the pump in my Samsung front load washer 2 months ago. It worked fine and then we moved and now it’s throwing an E2 code. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
