Your Samsung washer can display many different error codes. No matter what the error code, you can try to reset the Samsung washer to erase, clear, or remove the error code by simply removing power to the washer. This can reset the main control board or whichever washer component that is causing the error code to appear. At times an error code is not truly an error, it may be just a “glitch” that has randomly appeared. Because of this, resetting the washer by removing power is the first thing to do.
How To Reset A Samsung Washing Machine When You Get An Error Code
To reset your Samsung washing machine you need to simply disconnect the washing machine from power for 5 to 10 minutes. (Unplug the washer from the wall outlet or flip the breaker in the breaker box for the washing machine). Once the 5 to 10 minutes has passed, connect power to your Samsung washer and run a test wash load to see if the error code has cleared. If not, see below…
Newer digital Samsung washing machine error codes appear as a 2 digit code on the display screen, they can appear as letters or numbers or even both. When a code appears on your Samsung washer and you have already tried the unplug reset, you need to identify the error code to fix the washer.

Error code AE6, control board needed replaced, bought new one and replaced it. Still having same error code on machine. Disconnecting from power for any length of time makes no difference. After unplugging washer, the last wash setting shows on display and will not let you change anything. When you push any of the settings, the machine just makes a chime noise. After it’s been plugged in for about 30 mins., the AE6 error code displays. Not sure what to do at this point.
