- If you are having Samsung Front load Washer problems, then this video will help you gather info and ideas on how to fix the problem. At the end of the video, I have the official Samsung Washer Error Code list as well as how to fix them as per Samsung.
Entering the Samsung Washer Diagnostic Mode isn't entirely easy - the button presses are simple, but sometimes it doesn't connect properly, which I mention at the end of the video. However, once you enter the various modes including the Samsung Washer Test Mode, you have some REALLY POWERFUL features to help you understand what exactly is going on with your machine, and hopefully get some ideas on how to fix it.
The code list starts around the 5:13 mark, and include:
- Samsung Washer 1E Code
- Samsung Washer 3E Code
- Samsung Washer E3 Code
- Samsung Washer NF Code
- Samsung Washer ND Code
- Samsung Washer AE Code
- Samsung Washer DS Code
- Samsung Washer DL Code
- Samsung Washer LO Code
- Samsung Washer HR Code
- Samsung Washer OE Code

Thank you Ben. My washer was locked with a load inside. I followed your test instructions, it unlocked the door, I confirmed the drum still had water. I put it in spin test. It drained and spinned. Pushed the start button at the end of the test and door unlocked.
I guess I don't have to wheel this Samsung to the curb tonight.
Thank you my girlfriend moms washer died! This is the first video I found and wanted to say thanks for the great content! To the point and no bs is greatly appreciated!!
Thanks Ben! Our washer was overloaded and it got stuck and we couldn't figure out how to reset it or get the error code back. You saved me from calling a repair person!
One of the best if not best troubleshooting videos. Just changed my ECM for a fail to complete spin mode. I’m gonna try to clear all codes, reset water level and whatever else I can do to create a flawless running machine.
Ben this is a wonderful and helpful video, if you ever decide to reshoot it and include water tests that would be awesome. Also, small 'flick flub' the first test mode you put the machine into you say hit the 'soil level' button after getting the machine into 'd' mode but you clearly hit 'spin' to get into the next mode. keep up the good work!
Thanks so much for this video!!! I bought one of these at a yard sale recently, and I never would have figured out how to go into diagnosis mode without you!!!
Three years ago and still helpful, this really helped a lot 🙏
Glad it helped!
Thank you! It helped a lot💙
Thanks for the Video ,
Just need your advice , I have same washer which has AE 6 and 7E 14 . Any suggestions?
Sir , Thank you so very much sharing your knowledge.
This is great stuff. Thank you for sharing
This vid helped immensely. Thank you.
Hello Ben love the video it has been very helpful when I can get it to stay on long enough to get through it. The problem I am having is that it will turn off and back on several times throughout the cycle. Now I can hardly get it to stay on long enough for me to get to test mode. Any suggestions?
If you’re having an issue with the 4E code, take the hoses off of the back of the washer and get a pair of needle nose pliers and pull that little filter out of the threaded plastic piece and clean that really well. I was having that issue and this seems to have solved it. The screen on the filter is really fine so it don’t take much to slow the water flow down and throw the code.
How do you take the hose off? Im guessing you mean the drain tube of course. Its all internally integrated inside of the washer.
I don’t have any of the codes he mentioned on the washer except the d. I have d, - -, dE1,dE,3E2. This youtube video is almost a joke because he doesn’t actually have a broken/overused washer. His washer isn’t even hooked up in the video. I don’t understand how this guy thought he could make an informative youtube video. Not hating just speculating.
I have the same exact model of washer as he does in the video.
Im pretty sure the problem is just the filters being clogged from overuse and not cleaning once a month like your suppose to. But i really have no clue it could be multiple issues I wouldn’t know. Anyways the video did inform me on a-lot about it actually.
@@burberryducks6481 stop being mean
Very helpful thank you 👍
Perfect video, I have that s exact machine. I got mines used, it works great!
Im dog sitting and don't know how to use the machine... It had a de code... However after watching your video I did get it to start... Thank you
Thank you!! You saved me a few hundred bucks. You the man 🤛

hi Ben
thank you so much for the tip and you always have a good video for every appliance
thanks again for eveythings
What does the dE error mean?
Excellent video. You know your stuff.
Brilliant. Thanks for the info and help
Shows 3E2 after all spins untill the D. I assume that's a motor driving error... Sounds expensive.
Hi Ben. Great video. Can you help me try and repair my Samsung WF45K6500AW/A2 front load washer? The washer went dead during a wash and circuit breaker snapped off. The front door was locked water was in the tub. I turned on the breaker and it immediately snapped off. I changed the inverter board and it no longer snaps the breaker but it’s dead. I ordered the PCB. No change. Where should I check?
Thank you. Sure helps
Thank you for sharing. 🙏
Great info, thank you. I'm want to find out what the ICON of the T-shirt mean? It comes up on the monitor now and then. THANKS
Thanks for the video!

Front load washer. its same one as yours
Hi, i have a samsung 12kg washer which has been working fine until today. I put in a small load in today and found that the drum would not turn. This morning it was fine. After putting it into diagnostic mode, the washer displayed an error 3c2. The drum is now also hard to turn, something has locked. Any ideas please?
Hi is it the same for the compact washer ww22k6800aw/a2?
Yeah on the Samsung front loader BRT model I believe it was the same when you do the video I have an E4 error code can you tell me what that one is
Thank you!

Greetings Ben & Everyone.
I have the same washer and dryer. Zero problems. Except I accidentally leaned on the control panel and pressed some funky combination of buttons and now when I select anything other than the shortest cycle it stops prematurely.
For instance, if I select the 40 min cycle, it'll dry for about 10 mins then stop.
My question is, if I unplug the dryer cord 🔌 & wait for 1-5 mins then plug back in, will it reset my dryer to factory settings?
*Believe it or not* I've had this set for almost 10 years. I love it so much! Not a single service call.
Gratitude for your time.🙂
It should help solve that yes. Likely, you've set some sort of forced auto-dry thats timing out too quickly
I got a JOOF code what does that mean
Hi,
Thanks for the great info. I am getting Error code d,.....SE,.. DE, d. Do you have any suggestions for this codes? I appreciate your help.
SE=5E=no drain error code, DE=door error code, D=diagnostics mode
Hi, hoping you could help me with a little advice.
I have this machine, and the original fault was a burnt out DC92 board. I bought a new one and replaced it. Once the machine was back together I now have an AE6 error code and the drum won't spin, it just judders a quarter turn very slowly then stops. It repeats this over and over. I checked the connections, and all appears good. What am I missing here? Please help as it's already cost me $322 for the one board.
Hello Ben great video, Wash starts and then get to rinse and code SE or SUD comes up.I did the test as you explained and im getting a code that is not on your list 7t 14. Please help a girl out thank you.
Ben, Thanks for the video but I can't even get my machine into diagnostic mode. I was hoping you might be able to help. My Samsung WF45N5300AW washer stopped mid-wash and generated an AC6 error code. I understand this is an error when the exchange of data between the control module and the information display board has an issue. The display panel is illuminated but not responding when I try to put the machine into diagnostic mode or even change wash cycles. I had to manually drain the drum and open the door. So I replaced the display board, and that did not fix the condition. Next, I replaced the display panel, and still no joy. The machine remained unresponsive although the panel was displaying a time and the wash selector was illuminated, but I couldn't change the wash selection. Can you think of anything else I can do before I replace that expensive control board?
Any luck resolving this issue? Mine is doing exactly this!
hello I have a samsung washer wf42h5200ap which displays an error code that I do not understand 9E2 thank you for helping me
Ben, seems like sammy is having lots of problems as usual, which brand is the most reliable these days? Thanks.
I have the Samsung front loader the panel looks just like the one you have but it would not go in diagnostic mode. it sounds like he’s trying to get call for water but the numbers on front or bouncing back-and-forth and up and down just 4 lines.
How to enter the diagnostic mode on model wf220anw/xac?
which control board should I replace if my error code reads "AE6" & "dE"?
Thanks for info. Got door opened, and got it going again.
My washer just beep when I push the main button, but it doesn’t start. If I keep trying it eventually starts, but can take as long as 30 tries. What do you think I should do to fix that?
I have an AE6 code. I don’t see any loose wires and I have changed out the Samsung Washer Main Control Board DC92-01803D but I still get the error. Any advice?
Thanks 🙏
What does 4E mean? Washer beeps and have to start over several times.
Hi Ben. This is super helpful. I've changed the motor on the same washer on this video and I still have the same issue. It stops mid cycle. I only gotten e3 error code a couple of times. Still trying to figure out what to do before I spend money on a new one. Thanks again.
Check wiring to the stator and in the general area to make sure none are broken.
Having same prob too. Tech mentioned the motor was defective :/ too bad extended warranty just expired
Hello, i was running the spin mode test on , it doesn’t got passed 40-50 then i tried it again and doesn’t even move anymore. Prior to all this i did get a code dE and now it doesn’t show any error code. What can it be? Thanks
On my WF42h5200aw, it doesn't finish cycles, but never displays an error code. I followed your instructions (Holding Delay and Soil), and then pressed 'soil' once after it entered D mode. It instantly displayed J0 and blinked between it and the number 12. Turning the dial did not look like it was trying to cycle through different error codes. I printed a service manual and it doens't mention "J0". Any ideas? Thanks in advance!
Hey Ben just wondering have you ever seen a Samsung eco bubble front loader washing machine have a chunk of the door seal missing before
Which part? Very bottom of the gasket on the front where it'd kind of seal with the door glass?
@@bensappliancesandjunk do you have a website
Thanks
Im getting code 3E2 I didnt see that on your list what can it be washer starts washing then stops and wont complete its cycle at times it will only work only in rinse and spin
What about the fabric softener doesn’t empty out from tray each use ????
I need this for the dryer.....
I have 1 that is showing NF after it starts to over fill with water, what would you suggest?
Valves could be bad on washer - sticking open. I'd check the valves w/ a multimeter and see what you get.
What does the 5r code mean? How can I fix it?
Hi ive been trying to fix a samsung front loader washer WF1104XBC It has a door lock error Problem have replaced control board and the door lock after around 30 mins of washing it throws up a DE error and stops 2nd set and seems to stuff the lock and the control board shows DE error in any other machine it go's into would be awesome to have any ideas how to solve this
Its definitely a door lock/pcb error. HOWEVER sometimes it'll throw that signal if the drain pump connection/drain pump is bad. I'd check and verify its connections are good and everythings' operating well with it.
Is it necessary to fit a voltage stabilizer for this model
Hey Ben, I have 5E and have drain issues on my Samsung washer. Any advice?
Make sure the drain hose isn't buried too far into the standpipe that'd cause back flow. Make sure the drain hose isn't linked/pinched anywhere. Make sure there isn't anything stucked in the pump or hose.
If none of those things work, the drain pump may be bad. If its super noisy, or you find that its not really draining much at all despite no obstructions.
I had this problem yesterday. In addition to getting the 5E code, I got a SUDS sensor error saying my washer was foamed up (it was not). Mine has an access panel on the front bottom left for a filter that was jammed FULL of dog hair - clearing that and then leaving the washer unplugged for half an hour cleared it and resolved the problems.
Good video. I got a 3E5 code. But can't find out what it means.
Its a drive motor error
So what does it mean when try to go to quick test mode and shows a "JOOF" MESSAGE?
What does it mean if the whole front panel lights up?
I'm trying to get thru the Rinse cycle now.
I had seen SE said it was a drain when googled is this right
Just so you know you say press the "soil" button to enter the diagnostic mode when you meant "spin" button. Ate up some of my time wondering why i wasnt getting any codes
Bravooo 👍👍👍👍👏👏👏👏👏👏😉
Wawwwwwwwwwwwwwwww thank you so much👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Ben, do you have more videos related to the model. Mines has a 3E2 error. I replaced RPS No spin. When I ran the diagnostic after replacing RPS error was gone but it still doesnt spin and error returned. How do you test the windings and RPS? Thanks for video
Not YET. I do plan on making 3-4 more in the near future. From quick glance, thats a control board / motor control error, more than an RPS sensor error. I'd check to see if you're getting any outgoing voltage. I've had a few Samsungs lately where the boards were just totally shot due to random issues.
@@bensappliancesandjunk Thanks for the quick response. I will keep looking around for more details and check back. Thanks again
@@bensappliancesandjunk I’m still getting a 3E and 3E2 error even after replacing the motor and the pcb board.
I have the same no spin issue. Replace ROM sensor and still no spin. 3E2 and dE error codes now display in diagnostic mode.
Other codes in Quick test mode:
004F (Heavy Duty dial position)
254 (Bedding)
JO13 (Normal - I think this is software version)
Any suggestions.
WE42H5200 model, turns on and all lights stay lit, main control makes a few clicks then shuts itself off. Checking codes, segment display doesn't display full segments, Looks like gibberish. So, not sure if there's one or two boards that have failed??
This worked when I got the washer but now it won’t go into any kind of mode by pressing certain buttons.
What does c6 error code mean and SE ? My washer is not spinning and now it’s not even washing
Do you fix my wf42h5200ap/a2 check for codes no codes appear I did trouble shooting but nothing averting since to process good but when I put it to wash it dosnt do anything any chanse you can come and check it
I have this same washer. The washer itself does Not Fill with enough water to saturate/wash the clothing properly. We find ourselves doing small/tiny loads of laundry or washing a load multiple times just to get things clean. Any advice in what could be going on? Is there an eco mode setting that could have been turned in when it was installed? Any ideas or advice would be much appreciated! 4 kids and a farm with this washer is not going well...
Are you on well water or city water? If well water, the water valve filters at the back of the unit may have sediment buildup not allowing for enough water to go into the unit.
@@romarioflores863 we are on well water. I will check that this weekend. Thank you for replying!

Hello BenI have a Samsung washing machine here I tried to do the self diagnose it will not go into that program I’ve tried it four or five times and it refuses to go in what am I doing wrong. My unit will fill up with water and drain but there is no movement in the drum whatsoever what’s my problem
We watched your video and nothing is clearing the AC6 error code. The font door will not unlock. An suggestions? Thanks!!
I ve succeed to open the door with removing water with the drain, power off ~ 20min. But the machine seems not responding with the screen.
Just found this: "AC6 error is an error when the exchange of data between the control module and the information display board has an issue.
Recommended Troubleshooting Tip:
Switch off the washing machine and unplug the power cable from the power source and power it on again and start another washing cycle. If after switching on again the washing machine and the error does not appear, please observe as it may be a temporary issue only. However; if the problem persists, then there will be a need for a service visit by a Samsung Service"

Hey Ben I get a LE error code on my front loader. Can you give me a idea of the problem? Wf56H9100 AG/A2
What was the problem?
Hey Ben... I have the exact same model and it’s running into a 5C or SC error code.. didn’t see this error code in your video..saw a couple other videos on this error and I tried to drain the water from the bottom and cleared the filter however it still shows the error code when the washer reaches the Rinse+Spin mode.. any thoughts? Thanks
Looks related to drain pump. There are a few things with that:
1) The pump isn't pumping the water at all (bad pump)
2) The pump is not draining the water efficiently
for #1, you'd replace pump if it had junk in it. Many times, just clearing the filter isn't enough - the pump itself has been destroyed due to the derbis.
For #2, check the drain hose and make sure its not TOTALLY JAMMED in the standpipe where the water drains to.

Would you recommend this washer?
No. Samsungs are generally garbage. The rear bearings may, on average, last 7 years. My reccomendation for a front loader would be a similarly-priced LG. We get WAY less of them than Samsung's garbage.
