Samsung appliances are designed for performance and reliability, but they still face recurring faults. This troubleshooting guide covers Samsung error codes, failures, and repair strategies.
Common Samsung codes include:
OE – Drain error (washer, pump blocked)
LE – Motor error / hall sensor fault
dE – Door not locked (washer)
UE – Unbalanced load detected
HE – Heater error (washer)
SE – Sensor error (washer)
5E – Drain pump error
FE – Overflow/overfill detected
tE – Thermistor/temperature sensor fault
PE – Water level sensor error
CE – Current error (motor/inverter)
PF – Power failure error
SE – Key short (microwave)
SE – Communication error (fridge)
88 88 – Display/control reset needed
84C – Compressor locked rotor (fridge)
39C – Ice maker error
22E – Evaporator fan error
41C – Touch screen/control fault
83E – Inverter error (AC/board)
C-d0 – Cooktop communication error
C-21 – Cooktop overheat
C-26 – Cooktop induction module error
Q1: Why is my Samsung refrigerator not cooling? A1: Likely condenser coils, fan, or thermistor. | Q2: What does F6E4 mean on a Samsung dishwasher? A2: Float switch error. | Q3: Should I repair or replace my Samsung oven? A3: Repair is typically cheaper for sensors or igniters.
Repairing Samsung is usually more economical. Replacing pumps, igniters, fans, or sensors restores function at a fraction of replacement cost, extending lifespan significantly.
Samsung integrates high-end electronics with mechanics. Refrigerators use inverter compressors and thermistors, ovens use igniters and relays, washers employ pressure switches, and dryers depend on heaters and fuses.
Professional repair is required for Samsung when error codes persist, sealed systems or compressors fail, gas ignition malfunctions occur, or electrical burning odors are detected.
