Please do take care to read the information thoroughly as it is there to help you understand fault codes and to keep you safe. There are also some help, tips and hints with a lot of the fault codes published here that you usually will not find anywhere else and, as we learn, we add more information so if you can't find what you need please ask in the forums.

Before using this section please understand that fault or error codes are used as a diagnostic aid, they are not a replacement for diagnostic skill on the part of the person repairing the product and are not in any way usually going to point to the precise component that is faulty. All they do is give you an idea of where to start looking for the fault.

Samsung Washing Machine Error codes

These error code explanations can help you diagnose a problem with your Samsung Washing Machine.

1E

Water Pressure Switch Error

Issue:
Generated Frequency Signal of WATER LEVEL (WIL) SIW (KHz)
Normal Level = Abnormal W/L Frequency
Low Level = 30.00 Khz High Level = 15.00 Khz
If the same signal is detected for more than 5 seconds, it is a PRESSURE SWITCH Error. When this error occurs the drain pump will operate for 3 min. and the display will show 1 E indicating a pressure switch error.
Advice:
We recommend you call our customer service centre to book a Samsung engineer on 0208 226 3633.

3E

Motor tacho fault detected

Issue:

Can also be caused by be main PCB

If the motor tacho signals are inputted less than 2 for 2 seconds after main drive motor started, this error will occur.

  • Check motor
  • Check motor tacho
  • Check all connections and blocks to the motor
  • Check connections on the main control module
  • Check main control module
Advice:
We recommend you call our customer service centre to book a Samsung engineer on 0208 226 3633.

4E

Water fill time out

Issue:

The washing machine has failed to fill with water in a reasonable time.

If there is no higher change in water frequency than 100Hz for 2 minutes during the initial time of water supply and if water level doesn't reach the preset level in 10 minutes, this error will occur.

This error will be released using Start/Pause button, the washing machine will restart and attempt to fill with water again.

  • Check water supply is on, clear and not frozen
  • Check the air chamber and pressure sensor hose for blockages
  • Check water inlet valve
  • Check wiring to water inlet valve
  • Check connections to water inlet valve
  • Check the main control PCB
Advice:
We recommend you call our customer service centre to book a Samsung engineer on 0208 226 3633.

5E

Washing machine has failed to drain the water

Issue:

If water level frequency is still lower than the reset level frequency (25.20kHz) in 10 minutes after starting of water drain, this error will occur.

This error code is very common and can be read as being either "SE" or "5E" due to the digital display as we are often asked what either could mean, they are the same code.

This error will be released using Start/Pause button, the washing machine will restart and attempt to fdrain the water out again.

  • Check pump filter is clear and there are no obstructions
  • Check the drain hose for obstruction
  • Check the drain hose is not kinked
  • Check the drain pump filter and clean if required
  • Check the air chamber and pressure sensor hose
  • Check drain pump
  • Check drain pump rotor
  • Check connections to water drain pump
Advice:
We recommend you call our customer service centre to book a Samsung engineer on 0208 226 3633.

8E

Over Current Error

Issue:
IPM fault signal (this is caused by the overload of the MICOM INTO during motor action).
IPM: Integrated power module. The IPM controls the motor.
If the fault (low signal) happens to be sensed even once during the washing/rinsing stage, the motor stops immediately. However, during the dehydrating stage the signal is to be sensed, when the number of signals reads more than 6 per 500ms during the Washing or Rinsing cycle action.
If the motor stops working, in one direction ten times, “8E” Error is displayed.
During dehydrating, when the overload is sensed, the motor stops working at once and then feeds back to the initial stage of the dehydration unbalance sensing. When the feed back has occcurred twice, Error “8E” is displayed during the dehydrating unbalance sensing, No error happens by overload sensing. When it happens at more than 800rpm, the process is stopped compulsorily. Power Switch OFF can clear the overload error.
Advice:
We recommend you call our customer service centre to book a Samsung engineer on 0208 226 3633.

11E

Water Leakage Error

Issue:
Water Leakage error occurs when the water drains naturally, (by leakage) after the washing program starts.
Advice:
We recommend you call our customer service centre to book a Samsung engineer on 0208 226 3633.

  • Check door lock wiring
Advice:
We recommend you call our customer service centre to book a Samsung engineer on 0208 226 3633.

UE

Washing machine has detected an imbalanced load

Issue:

This error code is more for information purposes than actually a fault as such. What the washing machine is telling you is that it has been unable to sort the laundry load and correctly spin without a risk of damage due to an unbalanced load. This error will clear when you restart the machine but do sort the laundry reduce or increase the load as required and for more information on load imbalances.

  • Reload the washing machine and attempt to spin again
  • Check the installation of the washing machine for level and balance
  • Check for small loads as small loads will cause an imbalance error
Advice:
We recommend you call our customer service centre to book a Samsung engineer on 0208 226 3633.

bE

Motor triac short error

Issue:

Can be a short circuit to motor or PCB

If the motor tacho signals are inputted more than 300 every 1sec in the operational interval less than 90RPM, this error will occur.

  • Check mains supply
  • Check main control module
  • Check main drive motor
Advice:
We recommend you call our customer service centre to book a Samsung engineer on 0208 226 3633.

OE

Washing machine has detected an overfill situation

Issue:

This error code can be caused by overfoaming which is a result of overloading or by overdosing or, incorrect detergent as the pressure sensor will falsely read that there is too much water in the washing machine.

Also check the pressure sensor and that the machine has not actually overfilled with water.

If an abnormal water level frequency is sensed (for occurrence of Over Flow :21.00kHz), Auto Power Off may release this error and continuously progress water drain until the frequency reached 25.00kHz.

If Over Flow is also sensed even after the following check of water level frequency indicating that error, the washing machine will attempt to drain the water from the tank.

  • Check for overfoaming or over soaping
  • Check the air chamber and the pressure switch hose
  • Check water level sensor
  • Check wiring to water pressure sensor
  • Check connections to water level sensor
  • Check main electronic controller
Advice:
We recommend you call our customer service centre to book a Samsung engineer on 0208 226 3633.

LE

Water leak detected

Issue:

If more than 4 times of water supply and safe water level of Heater are sensed for each course, this error will occur.

  • Check for any water leaks
Advice:
We recommend you call our customer service centre to book a Samsung engineer on 0208 226 3633.

HE

Water heating error detected

Issue:

For this error code you need to check both the water heater or element and thermistor, basically the washing machine is reporting a fault on the heating circuit with this fault code but it is not capable of identifying exactly where the fault actually lies.

This error will be released by turning off power switch.

Display : “HE1"(Over Heat), Display : "HE2", indicating no operation of the heating element.

  • Check water heating element 
  • Check heater for contunuity
  • Check thermistor or temperature sensor
  • Check the thermistor resistance
  • Check wiring to water heating element
  • Check connections to water heating element and temperature sensor
Advice:
We recommend you call our customer service centre to book a Samsung engineer on 0208 226 3633.

tE

Water heating sensor error detected

Issue:

If thermistor circuit is abnormal, this error will occur. If the thermistor is lower than 0.2V or higher than 4.5V, this error will occur. This error will be released by turning off Power S/W.

  • Check thermistor or temperature sensor
  • Check the thermistor resistance
  • Check wiring to water heating element
  • Check connections to water heating element and temperature sensor
Advice:
We recommend you call our customer service centre to book a Samsung engineer on 0208 226 3633.

IE

Water level sensor fault

Issue:

This fault code is fairly self-explanatory and tells you that the washing machine has detected an error with the pressure sensor or pressure switch.

If the above frequency signals are displayed longer than 5 seconds, it indicates pressure switch fault.

The washing machine will drain the water for 3 minutes for this error, and turn OFF water drain pump.

  • Check water level sensor
  • Check wiring to water pressure sensor
  • Check connections to water level sensor
  • Check main electronic controller
Advice:
We recommend you call our customer service centre to book a Samsung engineer on 0208 226 3633.

Smeg Dishwasher Error codes

These error code explanations can help you diagnose a problem with your Smeg Dishwasher.

E1

Aquastop floating intervention - Water Leak

Issue:
If your Smeg dishwasher is showing an E01 or an E02 error code on the display, the possible cause may be that water is leaking in the base of the machine. This alarm is generated when the floater switch of the anti-overflowing system is kept “closed” by the water in the tray. In this situation, the drain pump is connected till the switch returns in the “open” position. It is necessary to check if there are leakages of water coming from the tank, the aquastop pipe or the components located in the base ( washing pump, drain pump, defalcator turbine…).
Advice:
if there is not water in the tray, check that the floater keeps closed the switch for a wrong positioning. Build up of water in the base that may be causing an overflow - check this by tipping the machine slightly to one side, allowing excess water to flow away onto the floor. Ensure there is no holes or damage to any of the internal parts causing the leak into the base. A combination of error codes may be displayed or by a resounding tone, which will indicate the anti-flood switch being turned on due to leaks.

E2

Safety pressostat intervention

Issue:

This alarm is generated when the safety level (PRS1) intervenes, both when there is or there is not the full tank signal (PL0). In this situation, the programme is not immediately stopped, but however the tank is emptied and then filled. The water quantity, in this case, is decreased. This situation can happen max 3 times consecutively in a washing programme, after these 3 times the programme stops signalling the anomaly.

This defect can be caused by:

  • Defective pressostat level
  • Difficult to connect the pump or faulty washing pump
  • Water in the safety pressostat pipe
  • Filling solenoid valve with high flow rate
  • Electronic card which does not read the “full” signal
Advice:
We add more information as we learn so if you can't find what you need please ask in the Repair forums. Alternatively you can book a repair online or call us on 0208 226 3633 to arrange an engineer visit. We offer fixed price Smeg Dishwasher Repairs in London.

E3

Heating Element - No heating

Issue:

This alarm is generated when the heating system is not enough quick (less than 1.5°C 20min).

This defect can be caused by:

  • Defective heating resistance
  • The temperature sensor is not properly positioned
  • Faulty washing pump (water does not flow)
  • Sprayer\s does not\ do not freely turns\ turn.
  • Electric connections are not prope
Advice:
Check the wash load as this may be a good indication that the heater has not come on during the drying phase. Check the heating element is working by using a multimeter.
We add more information as we learn so if you can't find what you need please ask in the Repair forums. Alternatively you can book a repair online or call us on 0208 226 3633 to arrange an engineer visit. We offer fixed price Smeg Dishwasher Repairs in London.

E4

Temperature Sensor - Temperature sensor disconnected

Issue:
This alarm is generated when the machine starts and when the temperature sensor is disconnected. The NTC sensor in your dishwasher monitors the water temperature, which allows the control board to administer the water heater. If the sensor fails and its resistance is outside the normal limits the control board will recognise this and show this error.
Advice:
It is uncommon that this fault appears “spontaneously” as it usually happens after an intervention concerning wiring (change of the electronic or the detergent dispenser). If this appears, check the electric connections in the temperature sensor and in the electric card. If the fault persists, please arrange an engineer visit. We offer fixed price Smeg Dishwasher Repairs in London, you can book a repair online or call us on 0208 226 3633 to arrange an engineer visit.

E5

Solenoid Inlet Valve - No filling - Water fails to fills

Issue:

The E05 error code is usually associated with a water filling issue. This alarm is generated during the filling phase if the foreseen filling is not reached within 7 minutes.

This defect can be caused by:

  • Water tap turned off.
  • Drain pipe closed or obstructed
  • Defective solenoid valve
  • Electric connections are not properly connected
  • Defective electronic card
Advice:
Check the solenoid valve flow meter for any signs of damage. Remove the fill hose. Carefully remove the small filter from the inside of the valve or the hose seal filter if fitted and inspect for blockages. If the filter is clear, the solenoid valve is likely to need replacing.
We add more information as we learn so if you can't find what you need please ask in the Repair forums. Alternatively you can book a repair online or call us on 0208 226 3633 to arrange an engineer visit. We offer fixed price Smeg Dishwasher Repairs in London.

E6

No drain - Defective Drain Pump

Issue:

This alarm is generated during the drain phases if empty (PL0) is not reached within max 3 min; drain is tried 3 times and each attempt lasts 1 min, after these 3 times the machine points out the defect.

This defect can be caused by:

  • Defective drain pump
  • Defective pressostat level (the contact remains on full)
  • The drain pipe is not properly positioned, is closed or is obstructed
  • Electric connections are not properly connected
  • Defective electric card
Advice:
Always check that the most recent program has finished - and not ended mid-way through a cycle. Glassware can break while being washed in the dishwasher. When this occurs the broken fragments may become lodged within the pump. To check for glass, or any other objects blocking the pump, you need to access the pump and carefully remove any debris. However, do remember that broken glass may be causing the blockage and so please take care in removing it - to avoid injuries. If there is no blockage then, unfortunately, you could be facing a faulty pump. If this is the case then a replacement would need to be fitted.
We add more information as we learn so if you can't find what you need please ask in the Repair forums. Alternatively you can book a repair online or call us on 0208 226 3633 to arrange an engineer visit. We offer fixed price Smeg Dishwasher Repairs in London.

E7

Flow Meter - Defective turbine functioning

Issue:

This alarm is generated when the timer card does not detect the signal comig from the turbine.
