Wow I wish I did this sooner. I have a Samsung washer model # wa48h7400aw/a2 that I bought 2 months ago. It hasn’t worked yet, not once. After 7 visits from repair man it currently displays a PE code, any clue?? My gut tells me the devil’s in the details and it’s probably something that’s been stupidly over looked.
Mr OLUWASEYI,
Samsung Washer = 8E = OVER CURRENT ERROR
IPM fault signal (this is caused by the overload of the MICOM INTO during motor action).
IPM: Integrated power module.
The IPM controls the motor.
If the fault (low signal) happens to be sensed even once during the washing/rinsing stage, the motor stops immediately.
However, during the dehydrating stage the signal is to be sensed, when the number of signals reads more than 6 per 500 ms during the Washing or Rinsing cycle action.
If the motor stops working, in one direction ten times, “8E” Error is displayed.
During dehydrating, when the overload is sensed, the motor stops working at once and then feeds back to the initial stage of the dehydration unbalance sensing. When the feed back has occcurred twice, Error “8E” is displayed during the dehydrating unbalance sensing, No error happens by overload sensing. When it happens at more than 800 rpm, the process is stopped compulsorily.
Power Switch OFF can clear the overload error.

Joseph Riano,
Do you happen to mean UE error code?
There is no reference for the error code U2 for Samsung washing machines.

What is the Samsung Washing Machine error is U2?
JL,
The 8e error means control board connection error. Make sure the wire harnesses from the main control board to the washer are secure.

Portia,
Le/1E/Ie/lE Error Code
If you see the words/letters “LE”, “Le”, “1e”, “1E”, “le”, “lE”, “Suds”, “SUDS”, or “sUDS” on the display, it is an indication of “oversudsing” or a water level error. This is almost always caused by using too much bleach, softener, detergent or non-HE detergent. However, this could mean there is an issue with the water level sensor.
