Samsung Washer Dryer Error
Samsung Washer Dryer Error codes can vary slightly from washing machine codes so let’s take a closer look.
For some reason we are inundated with requests to diagnose Samsumg washing machines and at the moment appears to be the only topic people want to talk about. I’m no expert on Samsung but as a rule, faults are pretty much the same across all makes of appliances.
I mean let’s face it, what does a washing machine do other than take water on, heat it up, turn the drum and then dump the water.
So we shall take a look at Samsung Washer Dryer Error Codes
| Code | What it Means | What To Do |
|---|---|---|
| bE | A button is stuck or pressed down for more than 75 seconds. | Check the buttons to make sure that none of them are stuck or jammed. |
| dF | Door circuit failure | Check the Door Lock. |
| do | The door was opened while the dryer was running. When the door is open, the dryer will not operate. | Close the door tightly and restart the cycle. |
| Et | EEPROM failure. | You need a Service Tech. |
| FE | An abnormal power frequency was detected. | You need a Service Tech. |
| hE | Heater error. | Make sure that the fluff filter is not clogged, and that the dryer has adequate venting. |
| od | The dryer has been set to run for more than 240 minutes. | Change the settings to reduce the overall drying time. |
| tO | Dryer thermistor open. | Make sure that the fluff filter is not clogged, and that the dryer has adequate venting. |
| tS | Heater temperature control problem. | Make sure that the fluff filter is not clogged, and that the dryer has adequate venting. |
If any of you Samsung owners can elaborate on any of those codes then do please add a comment below. After all you the user will know your machine far better than I will.
Good luck.

How To Fit a Washing Machine To A Kitchen Sink Waste
Some one asked me a question today ‘How Do I Fit a Washing Machine To A Kitchen Sink Waste‘
Now if you have never done that before I guess that has got to be a bit of a poser.
You might move into your house and find the washing machine is already fitted so you have no reason to question it, not until it breaks down that is and you decide to replace it with a new one.
So first off let’s come with a sketch or two to describe what we intend to do.

Washing Machine Error Code
What is Washing Machine Error Code
Finding the right Washing Machine Error Code for your model can be quite a task as the codes vary quite a lot between manufacturers.
Typically your codes would be A1 through A12 or E1 through E14.
To try and list all the error codes would be such a task to undertake I wouldn’t get time to do anything else.
So let’s just take some examples of the most common washing machine error codes and try and decipher what they mean and how we go about fixing them.
OK I’m going to take the most obvious Error Code E1.
This is possibly one of the most easiest codes to fix. In most washing machines this code E1 referrs to time out on fill.
Simply put this would mean that the water solenoid valve has failed. Although the inlet valve might still be energised it might not be taking water in.
This is probably because the valve plunger has stuck due to limescale build up or just general wear.
One thing to remember is, if your machine gives an error code E1 or in the case of washing machines with out a display a beep or flashing light, it may not necesserily be the inlet solenoid that is at fault. Over looking the obvious thing here could prove costly so always check that the water is turned on fully don’t just look at the isolating valve and assume you have good water flow, check it physically.

If you have ever experienced a Bosch built in Dishwasher that trips the mains fuse then you might want to consider that the heater is at fault.
Samsung Washing Machine not Spinning
My Samsung J845 is not spinning properly.
This article is written in conjuction with a previous Samsung Error articles.
Please read that for further help.
One of our readers wrote to us recently to explain about some machine function test they carried out and kindly agreed to have that article published here.I can confirm that Test mode works for Samsung J845 (and most likely J1045) as described above, plus extra tests. On this model do the following.
1. Power off.
2. Hold down Temperature and Rinse buttons and power on via power button.
3 All lights come on, then ‘t1′ shows on display.
4. Press ‘Start / Pause’ button to start the test or press ‘Delay Start’ repeatedly to scroll through the various tests. t1 – t7. t1 & t2 = tests as described above. t 3 – t7 are various wash cycles of the machine. Press Start / Pause button starts the test on display. Note: once started, test will keep repeating until you power off.However, I also discovered another feature using similar to above which can be used to make the machine spin.
1. Power off
2. Hold down Rinse and Spin buttons and power on via power button.
3 All lights come on, then ‘J 08′ shows on display.
4. Press Start / Pause and a ‘U’ with an extra horizontal line half way up displays. Moments later the machine will start filling up. This is one of the 4 tests. Press Power button to stop.
5. Pressing Start / Pause button will take you through ‘U’ as described above, -> ‘UH’-> ‘L’ -> ‘S’
6 ‘S’ will drain the machine if any water and then spin the machine.
***Be Warned: This spin cycle seems to over ride any unbalance mechanism and regardless of load, the machine will gradually spin all the way up to 800 rpm and stay there until Start / Pause is pressed again or Power switch is pressed. This will put strain on the machine but if used wisely will get around the issue where the machine gets hung up on the Spin cycle of the machine, leaving clothes dripping wet. I would not let the machine spin for more than 2 – 3 minutes, or turn off immediately if machine is out of balance. Note: If Start / Pause button is pressed to stop the spin cycle, the ‘U’ as described above will appear again and once machine finally stops spinning, will start to fill up with water again. Pressing power button takes you out of both of the modes described above.
I have not tested fully all the tests mentioned here so please don’t ask me what the tests t3-t7 do (they appear to be wash cycle tests only) or the other tests ‘UH’ or ‘L’. I’m not a washing machine mechanic. I’m just someone with a machine playing up who tried Spare Parts Pro suggestions at the top of this Thread and thought I’d share my observations for others to benefit from.
Thanks.
Please leave a comment in relation to this article has I am sure there is more than a few of us who could learn a thing or two about our Samsung Washing Machine.
