Samsung Washer Error Codes: Complete Reference Guide

Quick Answer

Samsung washers display two-digit and three-digit error codes on the LCD panel. The most common codes are 4C (no water supply), SC/5C (drain failure), UB/UR (unbalanced load), DC (door open), and 3E (motor fault). Most codes resolve with a 60-second power reset or a simple mechanical fix. Codes like 9C8, 3E, and AC6 indicate electrical faults requiring part replacement.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I clear a Samsung washer error code?

Unplug the washer for 60 seconds, then plug back in. If the code reappears, the underlying fault must be fixed before the code will clear permanently.

Where is the error code displayed on a Samsung washer?

On front-load models, the code appears on the LED display panel on the door frame. On top-load models, it shows on the top control panel display.

What does it mean when my Samsung washer shows letters I don't recognize?

Some Samsung models rotate between two display formats. For example, SC and 5C are the same drain fault on different firmware versions. Check both code formats in this guide.

Can I run a diagnostic mode on my Samsung washer?

Yes. Hold Temp + Delay End + Spin simultaneously for 5 seconds on front-load models. The display will cycle through stored error codes. Top-load models: hold Start/Pause for 5 seconds.
