Samsung Washing Machine Error Codes, Complete with How to Resolve It

One of the most widely used washing machine brands at Samsung. Obviously, the Korean electronics company does have undoubted quality when it comes to washing machines.

The weakness of Samsung washing machines is the error code, but in general it is currently almost all washing machines with digital features, sometimes there are sometimes error codes that appear if there is something wrong with the washing machine. So every time there is a problem, the washing machine will display a certain code that not necessarily every user can understand it.

Well, for that, this article will provide an explanation about the Samsung washing machine error code as well as how to solve the problem that you can use as a reference.

List of Samsung Washing Machine Error Codes and How to Overcome It

The list of error codes that will be presented below is already completed with a solution or how to overcome them. Some error codes are still possible to be handled by themselves. However, some error codes require technical assistance from experts such as the replacement of Samsung washing machine modules. For this one, you are advised to immediately bring it to the nearest Samsung service point.

Here is a list of Samsung washing machine error codes that I know of:

Samsung washing machine error 1E (Water Sensor error)

If your washing machine appears error 1E then the damage that caused the water may continue to fill until it overflows and even if it can stop and start the washing process water sometimes still keeps filling from the tap. Samsung washing machines use a water level sensor (water level sensor) to determine how much water is needed to wash. There may be damage to the water sensor which is usually located next to the tube, it can also be a detachment of the hose to the sensor.

Samsung washing machine error DE (Door Error)

The first error code is DE which stands for Door Error or a problem that occurs in the washing machine lid. This code will appear on the screen if you are not tight enough when closing the washing machine door. The effect, the washing machine does not want to run. To overcome this problem, you can check again, whether the door is closed properly and make sure there are no clothes that block the door.

But on top loading type machines (doors from above) rust sensors often occur so that they do not read contacts that are already connected, following those given a red circle the location of the door sensor on the back of the washing machine.

Samsung washing machine EU error (Unbalance Error)

This code will appear when the washing machine loses balance. That is, the position of the washing machine body may be tilted, or the tube inside it gets an unbalanced load because the washed clothes clot too much. To overcome this error code, you only need to pause the washing process to re-arrange the clothes in it by entering one by one.

Samsung washing machine error 4E (Water Supply Error)

This code refers to problems that occur in the supply or flow of water that enters the washing machine. If the water supply has a problem, either because it is blocked or not flowing at all, then the Samsung washing machine error code will be displayed on the control panel. To overcome this, please double check the hose connected to the water supply or faucet.

You can see whether the hose is bent or if there is clogging in it. This error code will have other variations such as 4C and 4C2. The two codes are still the same relating to the problem of water supply to the washing machine. Especially the problem of appropriate water pressure and cold water temperatures.

Besides this error can also be caused by damage to the water sensor hose so that the water sensor continues to detect that the water is not enough for the washing process even though in fact the water has filled the washing tube.

Samsung washing machine error 5E (Drain Error)

If the 5E code is displayed on the control screen, it means that there is a problem with the drain or drain system in the washing machine. You can check the drain hose, does anyone clog the hose or bend the hose. Make sure if the water output hose is smooth.

This code also has another variation, which is the 5C code. Like 5E, the 5C error code indicates that the water in the washing machine isn't drained out. Samsung washing machine error code problems can be overcome by checking the drain filter, whether there is a clog in it or not.

Samsung washing machine error SUD (Foaming Detected)

Well, this code can appear because the washing machine detects too much foam, both during the washing process and during the drying process. For how to fix a washing machine dryer that has excess foam, you don't need to bother anymore. The code only shows you information. Furthermore, let the washing machine work automatically removes the foam.

Samsung washing machine error UC (Power Error)

Samsung washing machine error code this one indicates that the voltage in your home is not stable. The washing machine will automatically turn off and delay the washing process for a moment until the mains voltage in your home returns to stability. This system is automatically activated to protect other components in the washing machine from damage. For that, you don't need to be confused when this code appears. Just wait and the washing machine will complete the task itself.

Samsung washing machine error DC (Door Dryer is not tightly closed)

If at the beginning of the discussion there was a DE code which indicated that the washer door was not closed properly, then this code applies to the drying tube. If clothes dangle out and cause the dryer door to not close properly, then this code will automatically be displayed on the screen. Immediately rearrange the clothes in the dryer and make sure nothing is blocking the door from closing.

UB (Unstable Tube)

Like the Samsung washer's error code at the start of the EU, this code also shows that an uneven and balanced load in the tube results in the player not running. Once again, you need to make sure that the clothes in the washing machine tube are evenly distributed and that there is no one bias. Also make sure that the washing machine is placed on a flat surface so there is no slope which causes the washing machine to not work.

Samsung washing machine error OE / OF (Overflow Error)

In error this indicator means there is damage to the water level sensor which consequently the water will continue to enter the washing machine supply, if it is possible to open the washing machine sensor part can be tried to clean but because opening it is quite difficult for those of you who are actually better to call a technician.

Samsung washing machine error LE / LE1 (Water Leakage Error)

In this error code there are several possible causes, namely leakage in the washing machine drain hose, drain pump filter that is loose or it could be due to too much detergent.

Samsung washing machine error 4C

Error 4C means the unavailability of water supply entering the washing machine.

Samsung washing machine error 4C

The automatic washing machine must have water and more importantly with sufficient water pressure, but if you are sure there are no problems with the water supply, you can try to overcome it by opening the water tap first, it is clogged due to dirt, or it can also filter the water input hose has too much dirt. For ease, you can try cleaning it with an old toothbrush.

Samsung washing machine error 4C2

This error is also related to the water supply for the washer process, this error arises because the temperature of the incoming water is too high so this is a protection so that the hot water does not damage certain clothing materials. It could also be because there is an error in the water supply, that is, the hot water supply is put into the cold water supply so the sensor reads a high temperature.

Samsung washing machine error 5C

The main cause of error 5C on Samsung washing machines is because in the process of draining the water does not dry out, the solution there are some that can be done namely check the drain hose at the back (for top loading washing machines) and front drain disposal (for front loading washing machines) make sure not clogged and the direction has been positioned in a straight line so that the direction of drainage water is smooth.

Samsung washing machine error LC / LC1

At the time the washing machine will drain water for 3 minutes and this error will appear if the running of the water in the drain hose is not smooth and just information as long as the error still appears then the power button does not work.

The point should be to check the interference caused by the drain hose. Those are some explanations about Samsung washing machine error codes that you can make references and how to overcome them.

As already explained in some error codes above it is generally not a serious problem that requires you to replace a new module where Samsung's washing machine module itself is not cheap. By knowing the code, you no longer need to panic and think that your washing machine is broken.

Hope it's useful.
