What Makes Samsung Washer Repairs Different
Samsung top loaders are leveled by checking that the pulsator sits centered under a shallow fill of water, while front loaders are leveled by rocking the cabinet and adjusting the feet. Source: Samsung US Support - Washer installation and calibration
What Samsung Says to Check First
- 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
- 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
Reading a Samsung Washer Error Code

| 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 |
| UE / Ub | The load is unbalanced; redistribute it and restart. Source: Samsung US Support - Samsung washing machine information and error codes |
