How Samsung Washers Are Built
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
Common Samsung Washer Problems
- Door won't lock. For door codes, Samsung says to make sure the latch is secure, no laundry is caught and the door is fully closed. Source: Samsung US Support - Samsung washing machine information and error codes
- Washer won't start. Samsung says to confirm the washer is plugged into a grounded outlet on its own dedicated circuit without a surge protector, check the cord and look for a tripped breaker. Source: Samsung US Support - Samsung washer power issues
What Samsung Washer Codes Mean
| Code | What it means |
|---|---|
| UE / Ub | The load is unbalanced; redistribute it and restart. Source: Samsung US Support - Samsung washing machine information and error codes |
| 3C / 3E | Motor error; on some models 3E instead points to a voltage problem. Source: Samsung US Support - Samsung washing machine information and error codes |
