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.

Sud for me typically means it is time to clean out the pump filter. Open the access are door then pull down the drain hose carefully drain the water out by pulling it the plastic stopper.
I usually have a cup a cookie sheet and some towels to catch as much water as possible.
When the water is drained unscrew the filter basket to find the trail within. I’ve had coins dollar bills hair band all covered in sludge. Clean it out put it back together and try again.
Good luck
My Samsung keeps showing SUD. I know it’s suppose to be alerting me to the fact that there was maybe too much soap added but it has been happening with every load and it’s definitely not too much soap. How do I get it to stop showing SUD and interrupting my wash cycle? Thanks.
I have Samsung front loader. I am getting an SC code on the rinse and i have 17 min left. Don’t see on this code book, can you help me out by tell me what this code means?
I have a front loading model # WF210ANWXAA. Have error codes F3 and 2d. Any help would be appreciated!
I have a Samsung top loading washing machine. It’s approximately 6 years old. For the last week, no matter what I wash, it will NOT stay balanced. It keeps stopping and giving an error code of dc. Oddly enough, this only happens during a wash cycle. If I run just a spin cycle everything stays balanced. We have “reset” the machine, ran a clean cycle and have taken a level to the washer to ensure it’s properly level. Any ideas anyone??
Hi I’m experiencing the same problem : red light blinking.
But I my case the door remains locked (with clothes inside!) and Samsung hadn’t presented any clue (after many different tests, reboot etc). Waiting for a specialist visit.
Crazy.
What if there is no error code but instead, every light on the panel and dial blinks with numbers blinkinng 88:88.
