Samsung's appliances are quick to flag trouble with a specific error code rather than a generic warning light. Below are the codes our technicians run into most, translated into plain English.
Samsung Refrigerator Error Codes
- 5E / SE: The defrost sensor circuit has failed — expect either icing or a warm interior.
- 22E: Freezer fan motor is down. The freezer may hold its temperature while the fridge side climbs.
- 41C: The ice maker has lost communication and will stop making ice.
- PC ER: Ice pipe heater circuit is open, which lets the fill tube freeze shut and jam the ice maker.
Samsung Washer Error Codes
- UE / U6: The load is unbalanced — spread it out evenly. Recurring UE codes can point to worn bearings.
- 4C / 4E: A water supply problem — check the inlet hose and confirm the taps are open.
- 5E / E2: A drain pump fault — start with the pump filter behind the lower access panel.
- dC / dL: Door latch issue — the machine isn't sensing the door as closed.
Samsung Dryer Error Codes
- dC / dF: Door switch fault — the dryer doesn't register the door closing.
- HE / HC: The over-heat safety has tripped — check the vent run for a blockage first.
- tS / tO: A failed thermistor, the component that senses drum temperature.
Samsung Dishwasher Error Codes
- OC / 0C: Overfill — either the water level sensor or a stuck-open inlet valve.
- LC / LE: The base leak sensor has tripped, often from even a minor drip.
- 5C / 5E: A drain fault — the pump isn't clearing the tub.
