Samsung washing machines display error codes when they detect issues with water supply, drainage, motor operation, or other key functions. These codes are your first clue to diagnosing the problem — often before you need to call a technician. This page contains all 265 Samsung washing machine error codes with their meanings, real-world causes, and both DIY and professional repair steps. The most common washer problems involve water inlet issues, drain pump blockages, door lock malfunctions, and unbalanced loads.
Most Common Samsung Washer Problems
Abnormal voltage detected – the incoming electrical supply voltage is outside the safe operating range for the washer (typically below 176V or above 286V)
Abnormal voltage detected – the incoming electrical supply voltage is outside the safe operating range for the washer (typically below 176V or above 286V).
Water leak detected
Water leak detected. The washer's leak sensor at the bottom of the machine has detected the presence of water where it should not be.
Heater error – the washer's water heating element is not functioning correctly
Heater error – the washer's water heating element is not functioning correctly. The water is not reaching the target temperature within the expected time.
Motor error – the washer's drive motor is not operating correctly
Motor error – the washer's drive motor is not operating correctly. The control board detects an abnormal condition in the motor or its driving circuit.
The control board detected insufficient water entering the tub during the fill cycle
The control board detected insufficient water entering the tub during the fill cycle. The washer cannot reach the required water level within the allotted time.
Samsung Washer Maintenance Tips
- 1Clean the drain filter monthly to prevent blockages
- 2Run an empty hot cycle with washer cleaner monthly to prevent odor and mold
- 3Check and clean inlet hose filters every 6 months
- 4Leave the door open after each wash to allow the drum to dry
- 5Don't overload the drum — follow the manufacturer's capacity guidelines
- 6Inspect water supply hoses annually and replace every 5 years
- 7Level the machine properly to reduce vibration during spin cycles
