Error Codes
What the code means and what the repair usually involves. Note the code before you clear it and tell us when you call.
| Code | Appliance | Meaning | Usual fix |
|---|---|---|---|
| 4C / 4E | Washer | No water supply detected | Check both taps are open and the inlet screens are clear; then the water inlet valve |
| 5C / 5E | Washer | Won’t drain | Clean the drain pump filter and hose; replace the drain pump if it still won’t clear |
| UE / UB | Washer | Load out of balance | Redistribute the load; if it repeats, worn shocks or suspension |
| dC / dE | Washer | Door not locked | Door lock or latch, or something caught in the door seal |
| 3C / 3E | Washer | Motor fault | Motor hall sensor or wiring; occasionally the motor |
| HC / hE | Dryer | Heating error | Heating element or thermal cutoff; check the vent for restriction |
| tE / tS | Dryer | Temperature sensor fault | Thermistor replacement |
| 22E / 22C | Refrigerator | Fridge fan error | Evaporator fan; usually the fan has iced up from a defrost fault |
| 21E | Refrigerator | Freezer fan error | Freezer evaporator fan or ice build-up |
| 39E / 39C | Refrigerator | Ice maker function error | Ice maker assembly or a frozen ice room |
| OF OF | Refrigerator | Cooling Off (demo) mode | Not a fault; hold the buttons shown in your manual to exit demo mode |
| LC / LE | Dishwasher | Leak detected | Find the leak (door gasket, hose, float) and dry the base |
By Appliance
What tends to go wrong on each Samsung appliance line, and what the fix normally involves.
On many Samsung French-door models the ice maker sits in the fresh-food compartment, where it is prone to frost. Warm air leaks into the ice room, the auger freezes solid, and the ice maker stops. Chipping out the ice helps for a few weeks and then it’s back.
Usual fix: A full defrost of the ice room, resealing the ice compartment where warm air gets in, and replacing the ice maker if the auger motor has been damaged.
A Samsung fridge that warms up while the compressor runs usually has an iced evaporator: the defrost heater, defrost sensor or control stopped running defrost cycles, and frost choked the airflow. Fan errors (21E, 22E) are the same problem showing up as a code.
Usual fix: Defrost heater, defrost sensor or control board, plus a manual defrost so the fan can run again.
The most-searched Samsung dryer problem. On electric models the heating element and the thermal cutoff fail together: the element shorts, the cutoff blows. A restricted vent is often the reason it overheated in the first place.
Usual fix: Heating element and thermal cutoff/thermostat together, and a vent airflow check so it doesn’t repeat.
Samsung front-loaders report most faults as a code. Supply (4C) and drain (5C) codes usually have simple causes: closed taps, clogged inlet screens, a full pump filter. Balance (UE) codes that keep coming back point at the shocks. Door (dC) codes are the lock.
Usual fix: Clear the simple causes first; then inlet valve, drain pump, shocks or door lock as the code indicates.
Samsung ranges are mostly gas with electric ovens inside; a glowing-but-weak igniter leaves the oven cold while the burners work. Touch controls that stop responding and ovens that won’t go above a low temperature are usually the control board or temperature sensor.
Usual fix: Oven igniter, temperature sensor or control board.
