Samsung business has actually released a range of versions of cleaning machines. Although their mistake codes are normally standard, the mistake indicators differ substantially. It is a simple thing in modern-day cleaning makers geared up with a screen: an alphanumeric error code is presented. Still, the display screen plans of earlier versions included the patterns of burning and also blinking LEDs (signs). In this article, we will try to inform you concerning the majority of them, consisting of those used in old models.
Samsung washing machines generally make use of the same mistake codes. So first this write-up provides the most total summary of the error codes (currently we take into consideration the screen versions). After that you’ll find some web links to the initial table in the lists of the mistakes offered for each and every of the screen plans and model collection.
What is the order of description? Initially, we offer a summary of all feasible error codes of the display screen washers. Then– the certain sets of mistakes of the private collection of the screen washers, as well as ultimately– the errors of the washing machines without the screen. You see, the schemes are plentiful, as well as the article is long. So for simplicity of navigation, there are web links to the description of all plans below:
The error codes of the Samsung screen cleaning equipments
This table consists of the codes of all models of the Samsung display screen washing machines so practically every mistake has several codes showed. The complying with sections of this write-up will certainly supply specific codes for some lines of washing machines. The error codes beginning with the letter E were used in old models of Samsung washers.
Please also note that and the same mistake numbering system might have a number of codes for one malfunction. As an example, the HE, HE1 and also HE2 codes make a single group defining a water home heating problem in the bathtub. Still, the specific sources of the malfunction may vary. This is done for reducing the description of the many error codes. Additionally, the details of the mistakes still mean little to an average customer. The handyman you are most likely to call has some more detailed technological descriptions.
| Code | Description | Troubleshooting |
| 5E (SE) 5C E2 | The system is failing to drain dirty water: the water in the tub has not gone down to a certain level during the required time | The reasons are as follows:Something is stopping the water from leaving the washer: a defect or clog of the drain hose or the clog in the hydraulic system of the drain pump. You can fix all these things yourselfThe wiring is damaged or the contacts are disconnected. We mean the contacts of the circuits containing the controller and the pump or the pressure switch. A similar problem may occur in the power circuit of the pump motorThe drain pump or its impeller has failed. You need to call a specialist for checking and replacing the coil or the entire motorThe water level switch is faulty. It requires a diagnosis and subsequent replacementThe controller is malfunctioning. The professional diagnosis and replacement is required if the board is faultyIt is a kind of exotic situation, but anything can happen: the washing machine was kept in a cold place and the water froze in the tub |
| H1, H2 HE, HE1, HE2 HC, HC1, HC2 E5, E6 | The water in the tub is heated slowly or is not heated at all, or, conversely, is overheated | There are many reasons for that, here are some of them:The mains voltage is too low. If the voltage is too low in fact – you need to call an electricianFirst, make sure that the wiring between the temperature sensor or the heating element and the controller is functioning. Check if all the contacts and connectors are connected securelyNo signal from the temperature sensor may indicate its malfunction. You need to replace the faulty sensorThe relay of the heating element got “stuck”. It needs replacement as wellThe heating element has burnt out, for example, because of the thick layer of the scale accumulated on it. The heater is beyond repairA power circuit of the heating element is open. Check the wiring and the contactsOddly enough, the heating period may be too short for the water temperature to increase if the washer is located in a cold place. It’s a rare case, but it happensThe electronics is not functioning: the temperature sensor, the relay, and the controller |
| DE, DE1, DE2 DC, DC1, DC2 DOOR ED | The controller is getting no signal that the door is closed or, conversely, the door won’t open | As a result, the electronics is controlling the start of the cycle. The possible causes are the following ones:First, the most obvious thing is to close the door tightlyThen make sure that no obstruction prevents you from closing the door. If the error is still there, then something is brokenThe connection is broken between the control triac of the locking assembly and the controller. You need to check the circuit with a multimeter and check the contactsSomething is faulty in the lock assembly, for example, the lock or the hinges got loose. In principle, you can repair the lock yourself. Still, the lock assembly is a complex part including electronics, so you’d better contact the service centerThe door look sensor is defective.

| 1E (IE) 1C (IC) E7 | The controller is not getting a signal from the water level sensor | What are the causes of the error and the usual actions, when the faulty sensor warning is displayed? First, you need to make sure that the circuit between the part and the controller is functioning; all the contacts are fixed and are not oxidized. Then check the actual sensor. If it is damaged, it needs replacement. Complete the troubleshooting by checking the controller. You’d better contact specialists for its diagnosis and replacement. |
| OE (0E) OF (0F) OC (0C) E3 | The tub is overfilled | The main reasons are bad draining, sensor failure, and some wrong detergent.If you are using a powder not suitable for this washing cycle, try changing the detergentIf you have exceeded the required portion of the detergent for one washing cycle, try reducing the portion the next time you start the cycle.The water drain is poor. See the description of the 5E errorThe pressure switch is broken or its circuit is open. You need to check the circuit with a multimeter, check and replace the switchThe same is true for the inlet filling valveThe controller is malfunctioning. Call a handyman. |
| Uc 9C 9E1, 9E2 | The mains voltage level is not meeting the specifications of this washer model | Call an electrician to check and repair the wiring. If it doesn’t help, then the device itself is malfunctioning, and this time you will have to contact the service center. |
| 2H 3H 4P | The code is the remaining time to the end of the washing cycle (it is not an error code!) | The owners of the washing machines with small two-character displays can see such a code during a long cycle. These displays cannot show a three-digit number of remaining minutes. Here “H” stands for “Hour” while the number indicates the remaining hours. “2” is 100-180 minutes, “3” is 180-240 minutes, “4” – more than 240 minutes; the code will disappear when 99 minutes are left. |
