How Samsung Washers Are Built

Samsung Washer Symptoms and First Checks
- Washer leaking. Samsung says to check the water supply hoses, their connections and o-rings first, then look for hair or debris in the door gasket and make sure the door closes fully. Source: Samsung US Support - Fix a leak in your Samsung washer
- Washer odor. Samsung says a sewage smell can mean the drain hose is pushed too far into the drain, while a mildew smell calls for an empty spin to clear standing water before cleaning the washer. Source: Samsung US Support - Samsung washing machine or laundry smells bad
Reading a Samsung Washer Error Code
| Code | What it means |
|---|---|
| 9C1 / 9C2 | Voltage error; the washer should be on its own circuit with no extension cord. Source: Samsung US Support - Samsung washing machine information and error codes |
| OE / OC / 0E / 0C | Overflow: too much water in the tub. Source: Samsung US Support - Samsung washing machine information and error codes |
| 4C2 / 4E2 | Hot water is coming in on the cold side, usually because the inlet hoses are swapped. Source: Samsung US Support - Samsung washing machine information and error codes |
