Washing machine: error codes ("Samsung"). Decoding and Troubleshooting

In the courtyard of the XXI century, and every day there are new models of household appliances that facilitate the life of modern man. For today, the units are produced with large and small electronic displays, which reflect the parameters of operation and possible malfunctions. However, no matter how qualitative and modern the technique is, it has one negative property - to break down. The washing machine will not escape this fate. Error codes "Samsung", displayed on the displays of household appliances of this brand, are very worried about their mystery. Will the user be able to quickly find out if he can solve the problem on his own, or will he have to spend money on the call of the repairman?

The washing machine broke. Error codes "Samsung"

Almost every modern washing machine is equipped with an auto-diagnostic system. This means that the machine itself determines where and what it "hurts" and informs the owner about it.

If a fault has occurred in the set washing mode, or if a fault has been detected, the error code must be displayed on the display of the automatic machine. Before contacting the service department, try to solve the problem yourself. To do this, you need to use the instruction manual, which, as a rule, has decoding codes and ways of troubleshooting. Most often, everything that is displayed on the machine's display, does not speak of a breakdown, but of the improper use of a household appliance. Let's look at the most common codes and possible solutions.

Error "DE"

"DE" or some models "DOOR" - the most common and, most often, quickly removable error. So what should you do if the washing machine "Samsung" produces an error "DE". This code is displayed if you have an open or insufficiently tightly closed loading hatch. Usually, to eliminate such an error is simple - you need to open and again very tightly close the door of the hatch. If such manipulation did not result in the result, you should check the integrity of the hook on the door - it may have been twisted or somehow damaged. Everything is fine? The next check point should be an electronic controller. It is unlikely that you will be able to correct it yourself, so you will have to call a specialist.

Yes, by the way, if the error "DE" has been displayed during the washing process with boiling or at its end - do not be frightened, this can be the reaction of the machine to the pressure difference that arises due to the temperature difference. Just wait a bit, the water will cool down, and the error is most likely to disappear by itself.

Error "LE"

If the water level in the system spontaneously fell at least four times, then the degree of breakage will depend on the speed with which the Samsung washing machine responds. The error "LE" is just for this and is programmed. This code (in other models "E9") stops the machine so that the heating element does not turn on and does not burn out without water. In such cases, it is necessary to detach the drain hose from the sewage pipe and fix it, for example, on the toilet. Continue to follow the work of the machine - if the error is no longer repeated, then you need to check the correct connection of the hose, perhaps it should be lengthened or raised. If the error repeats - call the master, otherwise you risk burning the heater.

Error "UE"

Consider another failure, which breaks down the washing machine "Samsung". Error "UE" - means a failure in the drying mode, of course, if there is one. Sometimes such a malfunction is coded with the letters "EE". The ways of solving this problem are described in the instruction manual, but, most likely, you will have to contact the service. Of course, this mode is not every washing machine "Samsung". A "UE" error for most models of automatic washing machines that do not provide a drying mode for laundry can mean the same as the "E4" code.

Problems "3E" and "E3"

A "3E" error indicates that the tamper switch has been disconnected, or the motor winding has shorted. At the same time, there may be more numbers next to each other - they specify exactly what happened:

• 3E1 - probably, you have loaded a lot of laundry, and the engine can not cope with the drum of such weight. Damage to motor contacts or failure of the tachometer itself is also possible.
• 3E2 - intermittent signal means that the tachogenerator contacts go off.
• 3E3 - most likely the defective tahodatchik.
• 3E4 - very similar to 3E3, clarity can only make a specialist.

But the error "E3" (sometimes "OE" or "OF") means that there was an "overflow" of water. Most likely your level sensor has broken down, or the pressure switch clogged up. If you do not know where it is - call a repairman.

Errors "4E" and "E4"

One of the codes that shows the washing machine "Samsung" is the error "4E". This code indicates a malfunction that occurred when the water was supplied. Most likely, this is due to the lack of pressure in the supply system or damage to the suction nozzle, which has a washing machine "Samsung". The error "4E" in some models can be displayed as "E1", and it is eliminated in the same way. You should check the condition of the water suction tube - it may be bent or somehow squashed, which hinders the good pressure of the water. Also, you need to see if the water supply hoses are hot and cold. If everything is in order, check the head in any tap in the apartment - probably the pressure in the central water supply system has dropped.

And then everything is OK? Then exactly the water filter that is installed at the entrance to the system is guilty - it is clogged and it must be cleaned, and it is best to replace it. Another reason why a "4E" error might appear is an incorrect selection of the temperature mode, for example, if a t˚C is set to more than 50˚C during a delicate washing.

But the error "E4" means quite different - this is an incorrect distribution of laundry in the drum. You probably downloaded too much or, on the contrary, too few things. In order to fix the situation, the laundry will have to be redistributed manually. If the machine door does not open, try turning the machine off for 5-10 minutes. Does not help - perform an emergency drain of water.

"5E" and "E5"

Another rather popular issue is the "washing machine" Samsung ", error 5E". In other models, this code can be encrypted as E2, which means a malfunction that occurs when the water is drained. The reason for this may be several factors:

• The sensor determining the water level has broken;
• Damaged pump, more precisely, its impeller;
• The electronic controller is damaged;
• The drain channel is jammed with foreign objects - matches, paperclips, coins, lighters, nuts, cogs and other trifles.

Since often mistresses forget to carefully check the pockets of clothing before loading the device, this code is the most common mistake that the washing machine "Samsung" gives. The error "5E" is corrected very simply - first of all it is necessary to remove all foreign objects from the drainage path and to clean the drain filter. How to do this, is written in the instruction manual. If in the troubleshooting section you did not find such encoding, then look at what model your Samsung washing machine is. The "SE" error in some modifications means the same as "5E".

If the E5 code lights up on the machine's display, you have problems with heating the water. There is such an error in those cases when the temperature in the tank changes too quickly when the heating element is turned on - more than 40˚C / 5 minutes - or too slowly - less than 2˚C / 10 minutes. The same means "E6" and "HE1" errors. Most likely, you have to replace the heater or clean it of scale.

"5D", "Sud" or "SD"

Let's consider one more mistake that negligent housewives admit, and the washing machine "Samsung" responds quickly. Error "5D" - the presence of enhanced foaming. Such an error occurs when the hostage masters use a powder for the automatic machine, which is suitable only for manual washing, or simply breaks the dosage. To eliminate this error, the master will not be required, however, you will have to be patient. While the foam does not settle, the machine will not continue to work, so this process can drag on for a long time. We'll have to wait, and at the same time, and re-read the instructions - how much and what powder can be used for washing.

Miscellaneous Errors

There are many more errors that the washing machine encodes. Error codes "Samsung" are often described in detail in the instructions, but there are a few rare ones. For example, if there are problems with the control panel, then, most likely, you will see the code "BE" or "AE". This means that the control buttons or the display have overheated due to a short circuit. Or just loosened the control relay.

Error "1E" indicates that the monitoring sensor can not determine the water level, or it is inadequate. The reasons for this error can be different:

• The water supply hose is bent or bent;
• Low pressure in the water supply system;
• Damaged valves that allow water to pass through;
• The sensor itself is defective.

A "8E" error clearly indicates a motor failure, and "FE" means problems with the fan. In general, without the participation of a specialist, I can not understand this.

Samsung Diamond

Unfortunately, not all washing machines can boast exhaustive operating instructions. This includes the washing machine "Samsung Diamond". Errors that are described in the instructions to this machine are unlikely to help you understand what happened. Among the information codes, only the "DE", "4E", "5E" and "UE" described above are listed, and the "CE / 3E" error recommends contacting the service center. If you find any other codes, and if you fail in trying to fix things yourself, you will also have to contact technical support.

Perhaps you can use any other instruction to the machines of the brand "Samsung", it is unlikely that the error codes for them are very different. For example, the flashing of the "UC" code in almost all models indicates the operation of the "Voltcontrol" system. This means that there was a power surge of more than 20% in either direction. As soon as the voltage in the mains returns to normal (deviation not more than 15%), ie it becomes at least 187V or does not exceed 265V, the execution of the specified washing program will continue automatically. If this problem occurs frequently, you will need to acquire a voltage regulator.

And if nothing comes out

Here you are a little and figured out what to do if the washing machine does not want to work. Error codes, "Samsung" is also slightly dismantled. But what to do if the code you did not find, or the above recommendations did not lead to the desired result. The answer is simple and obvious: of course, you can use the "call a neighbor" option, but it's best to contact your nearest Samsung service technician, especially if your washing machine is still under warranty.
