Sixteen Samsung washer codes are decoded here, and one of them names an installation mistake outright: 4C2 means the water arriving is too hot, because the hot and cold hoses are reversed or the cold inlet is fed from a hot line. 4C is no fill at all, OE an overflow, 1C the level sensor, and 5C the drain. LC is a leak caught by the base sensor, DC and dE are the door, 3C the motor or drive board, HE the water temperature, tE the thermistor, Sud foam, UE imbalance, 9C1 overvoltage, AE communication, and bE a stuck button.
The guides use the pairs in this list to keep a reader from ordering the wrong end of a problem. 4C2 and HE both look like a temperature complaint, and both can be settled by checking which hose is on which inlet before a valve or a thermistor is suspected. 1C, OE and Sud all depend on the same pressure switch and hose, so a disconnected hose is eliminated first. UE and Sud end at load balance and detergent dose, and 9C1 ends at the circuit rather than the machine.
LC is the stop-and-look code: the base sensor has found water from an internal hose, a cracked dispenser, or a split door boot, and running another cycle adds to it. The drive board and motor carry line voltage behind the same panel as the water path, while the drain filter, the hoses and the levelling feet are ordinary owner ground. No gas and no refrigerant appear here. EasyBear repairs Samsung washers across Sacramento and the Bay Area.
