If you are getting the ND error code on your Samsung washer, this means it will NOT DRAIN. This error occurs when the washer cannot drain or at times it cannot spin properly. It is most commonly called: Water Does Not Drain From Washer. The information below will show you how to correct and reset the washer to clear the ND error code.
Samsung washer ND error code
When your Samsung Washing Machine will not drain or spin AND the “nd” error code is shown… Do the following to fix the washer yourself…
1 – Make sure the wash size is not too big.
2 – Be sure the clothing in the washer is balanced.
(If the tub is overfilled with clothing, the wash tub cannot spin at faster speeds, the washer may shut off if this is the case)
3 – Make sure the washer water drain hose (the drain hose from washer to wall) is straight and has no bends.
Washer drain hose – Make sure it is not bent or clogged
Make sure the washer drain hose is not pushed far into the draining pipe.
NOTE: A siphoning effect will happen if the drain hose is pushed in too far… thus causing water to come back into the washing machine.
Be sure washer drain hose is not in drain pipe too deep
1 – Make sure the washing machine door is completely closed.
2 – Be sure the pump filter is clean and not clogged or blocked in any way.
(The washing machine will not drain or spin if the pump debris filter is clogged. Here is info for How To Clean The Filter On A Front Loading Washer.)
3 – Make sure the washing machine is completely level. Use a level and put it on top of the washer to be sure it is level on the ground. If you find the washer not to be level, use the legs on the washer to level it.
Is the washing machine door locked? Clean the pump filter out as this will lessen the water level and unlock the door lock.

Front loaders inherently hold water even after the cycle is ran due to the design that is normal after every load you should leave the door open
Top load Samsung washer.
Discharge pump housing bracket broken.
Reattached hose and housing with zip ties, but had to go back and reattach terminal that came loose.
Housing designed for breakage.
First trouble listed in tech manual is nd (no drain).
My guess is i’m not the first with this problem, but maybe the first to not have whole pump replaced for a faulty bracket.
Also the short discharge hose inside cabinet was twisted.
From factory.
Overall a good machine, but this seemed like failure by design to me.
This thing vibrates like crazy, so make sure your electrical connections are good and not subject to being worn.
I have a Samsung WW22K6800AW/A2 washer and dryer combo inherited last Fall from a home I just bought.
At first the washer and dryer worked great but I now get a no drain error every load of laundry I do.
I cleaned the filter, have manually drained the hose, checked the hose and back of the washer and leveled it.
Still have the errors which are annoying and also caused a minor flood in my basement last night.
Why is this happening?
Nothing appears plugged and its a brand new washer.
I have a WF316LAW model front-loader. I have taken it apart and checked all the drain lines. I replaced the drain pump. I ran a rinse and spin and it worked. Put in a load of laundry and the nd code came back on. Manually drained it 5 times to finish the load. The pump turned on once when manually draining it. Is this likely an electrical issue?
Our Samsung front load washer (model WF218ANB/XAA 01) is getting the nd (no drain) error code. We have checked hoses, cleaned filter, and have made sure it will balance and still no luck. Could the pump possibly need replaced? Or something else?
Our washer is coming up with the ND code. My husband took it apart and found there was no clog,. When he plugged it back in, it started spinning, but then when he washed a load of towels, the code came up again! What should we do?
I have a Samsung Front Load WF448AAP/XAA. Got a no drain error, cleaned out the filter, which didn’t solve the problem. I then opened the machine and removed the complete pump assembly and cleaned (had dirt and pet hair buildup, but nothing completely clogged). Put it back together and attempted to run a “normal” cycle. The machine ran for about half of the cycle, but then came back with the same error. I noticed that I could get it to partially drain a few times if I unplugged it for a while and started again. Next, I replaced the pump moron (the black side of the pump assembly), hoping that would solve the problem. When it was back together, it started a wash and did the initial drain, but then the error came back. At a loss for what to do next (short of buying a new machine – which I want to avoid!). All the hoses looked clog-free upon visual inspection, but I did not check the entire length of them.
I have a Samsung model WF448AAP/xaa washing machine. I keep getting no drain message popping up. Clean filter then replaced with a new pump. Still have the same problem. The cycle will go about 2/3s through and then flash that message.
Thanks. Our drain pump was bad too. I found one on Amazon (Prime) for 18 dollars and we replaced it ourselves. Saw a video on YouTube that walked us through the entire process. Now the washer works like a champ again!
Turns out the drain pump is no good. Its around a hundred dollar part..
