My Samsung washing machine WA82VNL model ‘6.5 kg top loading’ is facing a defect. The washing machine is continuously running. The timing while in operation in reducing from 28 mins to 5 mins but again goes to 20 mins and the cycle continues till the time i do not stop it. Seems there is some major issue. Can you help me?
I have a Samsung top loader –Model number WA50F9A8DSP/A2.
The water comes on to fill the tub when the start button is pressed and stays on through out the cycle. So even when the machine is spin drying the water is still running. Water goes off at the end of wash cycle and the drum is filled with water. The correct sequence for the past few years should be press the start button then select wash mode then hit start and the door locks and the machine starts the cycle and water shuts off once filled.
Nolan,
The ‘5E’ Error is displayed when the water is not draining properly from the Washing Machine. If the water doe snot drain in 15 minutes, a buzzer will sound, and the remaining time indicator will show ‘5E’ Error. Check all aspects of the washer drain pump, motor, and drain hose. Something is clogged and not letting the water drain out.

Patrick Dinan,
The Samsung washer UE error code indicates that the laundry load is unbalanced. If after emptying the washer more errors flash or appear, simply unplug the washer for 5 minutes to see if that resets it back to normal. If not please supply us with the model number so we may further research your issue.

Samsung front loader washer displaying UE after machine has been emptied. Have powered off machine left for 15 minutes and turned on. The UE message has disappeared but the display reads 200 and a red light and also a red light on the spinning icon. How do I clear and reset? Is it another problem that is suspension rods or other? If it is this is it an expensive fix?
Jo,
Samsung dishwasher error code E3 = Water Not Draining.
Check to be sure nothing is blocking the bottom of the dishwasher such as pieces of food or other objects. Clean out the sump (bottom) of dishwasher. If you still get the error code, check the drain hose and drain pump to be sure the hose is not kinked or blocked and to be sure the drain pump is not blocked and is operational.

My dishwasher at the bottom is full of water it came up with an e3 error.
Could you please tell me how to fix this problem?
Thanks
Yilian Turcios,
It is most likely a 5E error code and not SE…. 5E error means clogged debris filter… Samsung Front Load Washers have debris filter access panels located on the front of the unit. The filter is housed inside of the drain pump to prevent the drain hose from being clogged. If not cleaned regularly, unpleasant odor, draining, and filling issues will arise hence the 5E error code. Clean the filter and the error code should clear.

I keep getting a the SE error code on the display and I don’t know what it means. Please help.
