Samsung front-load washer error codes are a useful feature to help diagnose and fix problems with your Samsung washer. Of course, there is no point in getting an error code if you don’t know what it means and what you need to do to fix the issue. So here’s a list of what the error codes mean with instructions to resolve the error code.
Note that the 5 and the S symbol in a Samsung error code can appear similar, as can the 3 and E.
WF206ANSXAA, WF206ANSXAC, WF206BNWXAC, WF209ANWXAA, WF210ANWXAA, WF218ANBXAA, WF218ANWXAA, WF219ANWXAA, WF328AAWXAA, WF330ANB/XAA, WF330ANBXAA, WF330ANW, WF330ANWXAA
The above Samsung washer error codes mean that moisture, indicating a leak, has been detected where it shouldn’t be. However, the error code is also sometimes triggered by a faulty water level sensor.
What to do:
If you get any of the above Samsung washer error codes, either the water supply to the washer is turned off, the water inlet valves are clogged, or the water inlet valve has failed electrically.
What to do:
If you have failed to find the problem:
Whether or not the water inlet valve passed the multimeter test, your next best course of action is to either:
The above error codes usually mean the hot water line has been connected to the cold water inlet connection on the washer. Reversing the water lines should fix the issue.
Most Samsung front-load washers have an accessible pump filter on the lower-left hand corner of the washer. Cleaning the filter and draining the washer through the pump filter hose will often fix the above error codes.
What to do:
If the error code still remains:
If the hoses or pump are damaged, or the pump fails the continuity test, the component will need to be replaced.
The above error codes are usually caused by a faulty water inlet valve. If the inlet valve is not responsible, the water level sensor may be defective.
Follow the cleaning and testing instructions above (error codes nF, 4C, 4E, and 1 4C) to fix the problem. If the water inlet valve is working correctly, replace the water level sensor.
As a safety feature, the washer will not operate if the door is not closed and locked. The door switch on the washer signals the control board that the door is properly closed.
If you have any of the above error codes, the door switch has likely failed and needs to be replaced. Before replacing the door switch, make sure the door lock assembly is not damaged and that the strike can engage the latch.
What to do
The above error codes either mean the washer has too much washing or the load has bunched up on one side and it needs to be rebalanced.
Make sure the detergent drawer is closed to clear the error code. Cleaning detergent residue from around the drawer may also resolve the issue.
Excessive suds have been detected in the washer. The washer will try to add water to clear the suds. If the washer cannot clear the suds, you will need to remove the suds yourself. Remove detergent residue build-up in the tub or dispenser, or don’t use too much detergent to prevent the issue.
The error codes above either mean a key on the control panel is stuck or the control panel is defective. If you cannot stop the key from sticking or unplugging the washer for two minutes does not resolve the error code, the control panel likely needs to be replaced. A Samsung technician is required to diagnose the issue.
If unplugging the washer for two minutes does not resolve the error code, a technician or electrician is required to diagnose the issue.
Any remaining issues not covered in this guide will likely be control board or component issues that require a Samsung technician to diagnose and fix the issue.
