Know Your Samsung Washer
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
What Samsung Says to Check First
- 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 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
What Samsung Washer Codes Mean
| Code | What it means |
|---|---|
| LE / LC / 1E / 1C | Water level or leak error: moisture where it should not be, or a faulty water level sensor. Source: Samsung US Support - Samsung washing machine information and error codes |
| 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 |
| 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 |
