Samsung Error Codes

Pick the code your Samsung appliance is showing. Each page explains what the code means, the most likely causes ranked by probability, and which fixes are safe to try before calling a technician.

Samsung Washer Codes

• 4C Your Samsung washer isn't getting water — usually a closed tap, kinked fill hose, or clogged inlet screen rather than a broken machine.
• 5C The washer can't drain — nine times out of ten the culprit is a clogged debris filter or a blocked drain hose, both of which you can clear yourself.
• UE The load inside the drum is unbalanced, so the washer stopped before spinning at full speed — usually fixed by rearranging the laundry, not by repairs.
• dC The washer thinks its door is open or not locked — most often a bit of laundry trapped in the door seal or debris in the latch, occasionally a failed door lock.
• LC The washer's base-pan sensor detected water where it shouldn't be — sometimes a genuine leak, but quite often just oversudsing or a recently moved drain hose.
• SUD The washer detected too much foam and paused to let the suds break down — almost always caused by too much detergent or the wrong (non-HE) type.

Samsung Dishwasher Codes

• LC Moisture reached the leak sensor in the dishwasher's drip pan — sometimes a real leak, but false alarms from a recent move, a spill, or even high humidity are well known.
• 4C The dishwasher isn't receiving enough water — start with the shut-off valve under the sink and the supply line before suspecting any failed part.
