Thanks for the reply Ian,Z.
I had already checked the inlet valves for continuity and all tested good. Since my last post, I also order a new Control board thinking that may have been the problem since there was never an error code thrown.. However, I swapped the board and the exact same issue. I can hear the pump running however something is not telling the water inlet valve to open.. it will continue to run like this and you can not pause or stop it from the power or pause buttons, the machine has to be unplugged to stop it. Im wondering now if its the control panel.
thanks

Garry,
Test the water inlet valves.
Next be sure the wiring to and from the main control board are secure.
If no go, replace damaged wire harnesses or replace the board.

Ian Z,
Be sure the actual board that is displaying the code ERR is connected securely.
Check the wire harnesses leading to and from the board on your Samsung washer.
Use caution… unplug washer.

I have a Samsung HE front loader WF42H5400 AF/A2 that’s a couple years old.
For some reason, its not getting water however its not throwing any codes… it will startup and you can hear clicking but no water… I checked the water supply and screens, all good, I ohm out the water inlet valves. All good, I checked the coin filter, all clean..
and you can’t turn it off, it just keeps running like it’s waiting to fill with water. It has to be unplugged to turn it off.. I left unplugged over night and it still does the same thing. Powers up, starts the cycle however no water.
I did pull the cover off the control board and there is a red flashing light on the board however I don’t know if that’s a problem with the board or if the board is indicating a problem somewhere else in the system.
Samsung washing machine, every wash flashes ERR from the start continuously. Sometimes the wash still goes ahead regardless, other times it stalls and sits there. No error code, just ERR and constant beeping. Pressing pause can change the time of the wash for no reason. Tried unplugging but it just reverts to same. Hate any electronic washers for this reason.
Julius,
You most likely have a faulty door locking assembly.
Here is a page to show you what to do in your situation about the Samsung washer DC error.
To open the Samsung washer door if stuck or locked and the mechanism is faulty, Samsung front loaders have a small door located near the base that you can open and inside you should find an emergency pull release for the machine door.

My Samsung washing machine is not opening, it keeps on making the lock sound repeatedly until it will show DC1 error. it’s been like that for over a week now. I couldn’t retract the fabrics within. Please is there a way I can open it manually. Please reply ASAP.
I have Samsung washing machine model-WA80V9.
The machine is not operating and error code shows t01 also “spin” led glows.
Some time machine is working, after long time switch off the machine.
I have a wa48j7700a top load
And it is not supplying water and now it shows the code pc, what does it mean?
Carl C,
Error Code PE on Samsung washer means = The control board is not detecting that the clutch motor is working properly.
Usually there are not many control boards bad and the clutch motors are reliable.
The problem is MOST LIKELY in the wiring.
You will need a multi-meter to check the ohms and continuity.
Test voltage going to the clutch.
Voltage should be 120 vac.
Check resistance through wiring harness to be sure the wiring is secure and not damaged.
DO THIS:
Unplug the washer.
Check the wire connections between the clutch motor and the main electronic control board.
Check for loose wires or replace the wire harnesses if damaged.
If the wires check good then disconnect the clutch motor wire harness and measure the resistance between terminals 1 & 3.
It should measure around 2,000 ohms.
If you measure infinite resistance then replace the clutch motor.
If the clutch measures infinite resistance it is broken.
Parts that need checked or replaced: clutch motor & wire harness.
