Know Your Samsung Washer
How Samsung Washers Are Built
Samsung washers require HE detergent, and the company warns that regular, organic or natural detergents can damage the machine. Source: Samsung US Support - Detergent usage
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
Common Samsung Washer Problems
- Washer not filling. For the 4C/4E/nF codes, Samsung says to confirm the hot and cold hoses go to the right inlets, are not bent, and that the supply valves are fully open. Source: Samsung US Support - Samsung washing machine information and error codes
- 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
Samsung Washer Error Codes
| Code | What it means |
|---|---|
| Sud / Sd | Too many suds; the washer pauses to let them settle, and Samsung says this alone does not mean service is needed. Source: Samsung US Support - Samsung washing machine information and error codes |
| 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 |
| 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 |
