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.
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.
