FAQs About Samsung Washing Machines Error Codes

01 My Samsung washer shows code 5E - do I need a technician right away?

Code 5E can usually be fixed in 10 minutes — clean the bottom debris filter at the front of the washer. If the code persists, call Samsung service at 16062. Expected cost: price after inspection depending on whether it is just the filter or the drain pump.

02 Code UE keeps appearing on my Samsung washer - what is the cause?

UE means drum imbalance. If it appears once, simply redistribute the laundry. If it persists, the cause is usually improper loading (heavy items alone) or worn shock absorbers. Call 16062 for inspection.

03 How much does Digital Inverter motor replacement cost on Samsung washers?

Digital Inverter motor has a 5-year (or per-model) manufacturer warranty from Samsung. If under warranty, replacement is free through the authorized dealer. Outside warranty, cost is price after inspection plus labor. But in 90% of cases, motor-related codes (LE/dE) have simpler causes.

04 My washer keeps showing Sud code - is this a fault?

Sud is not a fault! It is a warning of excess foam. Solution: use HE detergent (for automatic washers) at half the recommended amount. Modern washers need far less detergent than the package indicates.

05 Are Samsung washer error codes different between models?

Core codes are unified across all Samsung washers (4E, 5E, UE, dE, LE). Smart models with SmartThings show descriptive messages alongside codes. All codes above apply to WW80T, WW90T, WA14, Bespoke, and all Samsung washer lines.
