Natasha,
The Samsung washer UE error code is telling you that the laundry load is not balanced. Try to redistribute the wash load as per the recommended chart here. If the door remains locked and the machine is displaying UE error, please run a drain program – select the spin button until it is on NO spin – either spin symbol with line or a zero.

Tony,
If your Samsung front loader is not washing or spinning, at what point do you experience an issue? Does the washer fill with water? What exactly happens when you press the wash button and try to wash?
Many times the door lock on a front loading washing machine will go bad or have a wiring issue and cause the washer to NOT WASH. Have you checked the door lock to be sure it is working properly? Here is a picture of the door lock for the Samsung WF206BNW/XAA washer. Can you explain in more detail what is happening with your washer so we may assist?

Dana,
Samsung washer 4E error code means a water inlet problem or the washing machine is not getting water. Make sure the source water is turned fully on and check the water pressure.
Is your washer getting water? Is it turned on both HOT and COLD? Fully open? If so is the water inlet where the water goes into your washer clogged? Turn off water and remove hoses to be sure there is no clog.
If the washer IS getting water and the hoses are not crimped and the water inlet is not clogged, let us know and we can assist to troubleshoot further.

I have top loader Samsung washer. When I do wash it fills with water then stops and the 4e code shows up. Anything I can do to fix this?
Samsung WF206BNW/XAA is not washing or spinning.
I have a Samsung top loader washing machine for just over a year. I put it on the quick wash cycle and it fills with water but just about to spin and the UE error code jumps up and stops. Not sure what the problem is?
Natasha Estrada,
The 8c or 8e error means there is a connection error. The problem is on the washing machine main circuit board. This usually means a new control board is required to fix the washer. Check the connections to the control board to be sure everything is connected secure. If so, a new control board will be needed to fix your washer.

ERROR CODE 8C ON SAMSUNG ACTIVE WASH WHAT DOES IT MEAN CANNOT FIND IT IN THE MANUAL.
Randy G,
You will have to open the washer up and check what is causing the slipping sound. If the spin is slow it may be a speed sensor or a part binding up in the washer itself.
