What a Samsung Washer Technician Deals With
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 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
What Samsung Washer Codes Mean
| Code | What it means |
|---|---|
| OE / OC / 0E / 0C | Overflow: too much water in the tub. 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 |
| 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 |
