Samsung Appliance Error Codes Explained

That cryptic code on your Samsung display isn't scary once you know what it means. We decode the most common ones for washers, dryers, and fridges.

Samsung appliances display specific error codes when something goes wrong. Here are the most common ones and what they actually mean.

  • 5E / SE: Defrost sensor circuit failure. The fridge may ice up or run warm.
  • 22E: Freezer fan motor failure. Freezer may stay cold but fridge warms.
  • 41C: Ice maker communication error. Ice maker stops producing ice.
  • PC ER: Ice pipe heater open circuit. Ice fill tube freezes and blocks ice maker.

Samsung Washer Error Codes

  • UE / U6: Load imbalance. Redistribute the load. If persistent, may indicate bearing wear.
  • 4C / 4E: Water supply issue. Check the inlet hose and water supply.
  • 5E / E2: Drain pump issue. Check the pump filter (behind the lower panel).
  • dC / dL: Door latch fault. Door not detected as closed.

Samsung Dryer Error Codes

  • dC / dF: Door switch fault. The dryer doesn't detect the door as closed.
  • HE / HC: Over-heat protection triggered. Check vent for blockage.
  • tS / tO: Thermistor fault. Temperature sensor has failed.

Samsung Dishwasher Error Codes

  • OC / 0C: Overfill — water level sensor fault or inlet valve stuck open.
  • LC / LE: Leak sensor in base triggered. Small drip may be the cause.
  • 5C / 5E: Drain fault — pump not clearing water from tub.
