What a Samsung Washer Technician Deals With
Samsung washers have a Calibration mode that resets weight detection and water-per-cycle settings, recommended after installation or adjustments and as a spin test with an empty drum. Source: Samsung US Support - Washer installation and calibration
The washer will not run until the door is detected as closed and locked, and a latch problem or laundry caught in the door triggers the dC/dE/dS/dL/FL door codes. Source: Samsung US Support - Samsung washing machine information and error codes
Samsung Washer Symptoms and First Checks
- Washer not spinning. Samsung says to clean the pump filter on front loaders, check that the drain hose sits at the right depth and height without kinks, and then run Calibration mode with an empty drum. Source: Samsung US Support - Samsung washer won't spin
- Off balance, shaking. For UE/Ub unbalance codes, Samsung says to spread the laundry out, close the door and restart, and to follow the won't-spin steps if it keeps happening. Source: Samsung US Support - Samsung washing machine information and error codes
What Samsung Washer Codes Mean

|---|---|

| dC / dE / dS / dL / FL | Door error: the door is not detected as closed and locked (on some models dC can also flag an unbalanced load). Source: Samsung US Support - Samsung washing machine information and error codes |
