Quick Answer

Samsung front-load washers (WF series) use self-cleaning technology and VRT vibration reduction.

Samsung front-load washers (WF series) use self-cleaning technology and VRT vibration reduction. Front-load specific codes: DC = door not locked (the door latch has failed or the door is not fully closed - press firmly until you hear a click). 4C = no water supply (check both hot and cold valves are open, check inlet screens for debris). 5C/5E = drain error (clean the pump filter behind the lower front panel door). LE = water leak detected (the leak sensor in the base pan detected water - check the door boot seal fold for debris). Samsung front-loaders have a self-clean cycle that should be run monthly with no clothes and no detergent to prevent mold in the boot seal. The pump filter on Samsung front-loaders also has a small emergency drain hose for controlled water release.
