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.

Samsung Error Code DC means you have an unbalanced load. Move the clothing around to be sure clothing is not in one area. Spread it out and test to clear DC error code.
For an example, the Samsung Washer OE error code means the washer has detected an overfill situation. This may mean the water inlet valve is faulty or the water level sensor is faulty. Troubleshooting is needed for some error codes.
Other Samsung washer error codes simply need the door to be shut, the door switch changed, the water inlet valve replaced, or the drain pump filter to be cleared and or cleaned, etc…

My Samsung ecobubble stopped washing mid wash, the error code 3E , call for service, came up on the digital screen. The machine is about 4 years old and used about once a week.
I can manually set it to spinn and therefore allowing cycle to end.
Can this be rectified without an engineer ?
My Samsung washer was given me a SE code, So I checked the bottom and remove the water and unscrew the knob and the was a piece of paper in there. I removed it and the machine start working. However, the timer goes out before the cycle is done. Everything else working, but the timer finish before the cycle is done.
Hi. I am having the same problem but stuck my washer stuck at 11 min on the rinse cycle or starting the spinning cycle. No matter what program I choose always stops at 11. I try to clean all the filters I moved and disconnect and also leveled again. Nothings works. Did you have an answer for this? Should I called the service department?
