If the hoses or pump are damaged, or the pump fails the continuity test, the component will need to be replaced. Error Codes: OE, 0E, OC, 0C, 1 OC, 1 0CProblem: Overfill error (too much water in the washer)The above error codes are usually caused by a faulty water inlet valve. If the inlet valve is not responsible, the water level sensor may be defective. Follow the cleaning and testing instructions above (error codes nF, 4C, 4E, and 1 4C) to fix the problem. If the water inlet valve is working correctly, replace the water level sensor.

The washer will try to add water to clear the suds. If the washer cannot clear the suds, you will need to remove the suds yourself. Remove detergent residue build-up in the tub or dispenser, or don’t use too much detergent to prevent the issue. Error Codes: E2, bE2, 6E2, BE2, 8E2Problem: Jammed button errorThe error codes above either mean a key on the control panel is stuck or the control panel is defective.

A Samsung technician is required to diagnose the issue. Error Codes: 9C1, 9C2, PF, 3E, 2E, 9E1, 9E2, UC, 19C1, 19C2Problem: Voltage errorIf unplugging the washer for two minutes does not resolve the error code, a technician or electrician is required to diagnose the issue.
