Andy,
The Samsung washer error code u6 indicates a faulty water level switch. Check the switch for clogs and be sure it is operating properly. It probably just needs cleaned. If you find that it is clean and free of blockage, it will need to be replaced.

Maria,
Are you sure the error code is 5C or is it 5E?
You may have a draining issue.
Check drainage pump filter for blockages. Check drain hose and waste connection for kinks and blockages.

My Samsung washing machine shows 5C. What does that mean?
Does anyone know what u6 means? First time this has happened. Samsung wd80j6
BRAND NEW WASHER,
The Samsung washer ‘5E’ Error code is displayed when the water is not draining properly from the Washing Machine. If the water does not drain withing 15 minutes, a buzzer will sound and the remaining time indicator will show the 5E Error Code.
TO FIX:
-Clean the debris filter.
-Make sure the drain hose is not clogged.
To unclog the hose… Remove the drain hose from washing machine. Clean out the inside of the hose. Continue cleaning until the hose is no longer clogged.
-Make sure the drain hose is not frozen.
-Make sure the drain hose is installed correctly.
-Be sure the drain pump is not clogged or blocked.

I just bought a Samsung front load washer 2 days ago and is not spinning it keeps giving me code error 5e what do I do?
With 4E (water inlet) problems note that there can be 2 filters on the water inlet. One in the hose at the tap end and another inside the hard plastic pipe on the washing machine end. On my WF7700 front loader, the one inside the machine end is pulled out for cleaning by a little blue tag. Both filters can be largely blocked at the same time. DF
Akbar,
Samsung washing machine error code bE3 means a button is defective. This means a button needs replaced, unstuck, or the control panel components need replaced. Unplug machine and check control panel area for obvious signs of the problem. You may be able to fix the button yourself. Let us know what you find.

My Samsung washing machine displaying an error bE3. Please inform me about this error and how I fix it.
Hazem,
Samsung washing machine error code AE means = Signal communication error between Main PCB and Sub PCB.
Remove power to the washer and wait 30 seconds.
Switch appliance back on again and start a new wash.
This should reset the washer.
