I have a Samsung Top load I am not getting 0E,6E and 1E error codes on my machine but the moment the power is turned on the drain pump comes on and tries to drain. If I put it on a wash cycle the water keeps running and is drained out immediately. I have cleaned out the filter but that does not change anything. Any ideas?
We get an oe error code on our samsung front loading washer. We change the pump and pressure switch it didnt work. Also the water keeps filling the washer when it shouldn’t. What can I do?
Our front load Samsung error codes,OC. It doesn’t matter the cycle. I have changed the water level sensor, cold water valve and we barely put any soap in. It still shows up.
When the code comes on we turn it off and set it to the short rise/spin cycle to finish.
I’ve purchased the other hot water value which I haven’t switched yet. What are the odds it the hot water sensor. Is there anything else I can do?
Thanks for you help.
