How to fix a DE error on a washing machine
The owners of Samsung and LG washing machines are often faced with a combination of letters on the display as a combination of DE. But not everyone knows that this combination is not dangerous for the device? Masters say that this code signals a loose door. This means that the user should not worry about the performance of the unit. In most cases, opening and then closing the boot lid solves the problem. But, there are also exceptional situations, which professionals will tell you about.
Samsung washing machine error codes

These are the most common fault codes for Samsung washing machines. The error code is displayed in the form of a numeric code, exactly as it is given on the site below.
If the pressure sensor marks a frequency lower than (25.20kHz) in 10 minutes after the start of draining, this error occurs. This error code is very common, it can also be read as SE or 5E depending on the state of the digital display.
Reset the error by pressing the “Start/Pause” button, after which the washing machine will restart and try to drain again.

Error codes of washing machines Samsung
How to decipher the error of washing machines Samsung
In new generation Samsung washing machines, the error codes are displayed on the screen. In washing machines that do not have a display, the error is calculated by the glow indicators of temperature mode selection, in addition, all the washing mode LEDs are blinking. At first let’s consider the SM, which has a display, the fact is that in these washing machines, the codes are much more, that is, the function of self-diagnosis, is already more modified and therefore more accurately displays the error on the scoreboard, that is, we start with the difficult and end with the simple. It is also necessary to take into account that with the development of progress the washing machines get more and more new functions, for example AquaStop mode. By the way in my practice, there was more than one case where the owner of the washing machine, paid to repair the housing to a neighbor who lives under it, because of the flooding. So, such protection as AquaStop, protects you and your washing machine from unauthorized water leaks from under the nozzles or tank, and in the case of a leak, it automatically stops the washing. Now you can begin to read the error codes and their deciphering
Error codes for the washing machine Samsung with a display
Did not drain the water for a certain period of time. For more information about this I explained here
- First of all it is necessary to clean the filter, for this unscrew the plug, take a flashlight and dedicate to the impeller of the pump, very often different small objects fall under it. If you can get to the impeller with your finger, then try to turn it
- It is necessary to blow out the drain hose, do not immediately do this. First you have to unscrew the pump filter and only then blow into the hose. The point is that in the pipe that runs from the tank to the body of the washing machine pump, is a plastic ball, so if you blow into the drain hose and do not unscrew the filter, this ball can fly from its seat
- It is necessary to clean the pipe which goes from the tank to the pump housing
- Check how the pump turns on, it is better to remove it, sometimes threads get wrapped around the impeller and interfere with its rotation. Be sure to look at the play on the impeller, if it is big, then it is possible that the water does not drain, because of this
If all of the above has not helped, call the master, rarely, but there are problems with the control module
In general, I wrote about this problem in detail in this article
The washing machine tank has not been filled for a certain period of time
- Unscrew the hose from the washing machine, dip it into a basin and check the pressure
- In the valve body there is a filter, a small sieve, it should be taken out and blown and also check the mesh on the filling hose, if it is cleaned too
- Blow out the pressostat hose
- Check the pressostat
- Check how the valves work
You can read about all of this, but in more detail, in this article
The temperature of the water that is poured into the machine exceeds 50 O C
As the saying goes, “there will be no more cinematography.”. Going out on a call I have very often seen that the owners connect the water to the washing machine, from the gas water heater. Now ended lafa, if the module will see that, in the tank receives water over 50 degrees, he will stop washing. As you know, when you turn on the water heater, it is almost boiling at first, and only then the temperature stabilizes. In general, now Samsungs are not suitable, in order to connect them to the water from the gas boiler
Too much foaming in the tank
From my observations, such a failure is observed when people wash small portions of laundry, like the powder is the same, and a lot of foam. In general, you need to change the powder or put a little less. If you look at all modern washing machines, I do not mean just Samsung, then we see that they are stuffed with all sorts of crap that I personally wonder how they can wash
No even distribution of laundry in the drum
It is clear that the first thing to do is to unplug the washing machine and see if the laundry is crotchless. Usually this problem occurs when washing duvet covers, just in the middle there is a hole in which the laundry, which is washed with them. If such cases are more frequent, then it is necessary to look at shock absorbers, that is, they no longer muffle the vibration in the machine
First you need to check how high the drain hose is raised, in general about the formation of a siphon, I wrote a whole article. Which I think you will find interesting to read. In this article we discuss why the washing machine can constantly drain the water
Washing machine does not see the motor shaft rotation
- First of all it is necessary to remove the belt from the pulley of the drum, and try to spin the drum, if it rotates normally, it is necessary to check the following parts
- Check the tachometer
- Check the motor shaft rotation
- It is necessary to check the wires for breaks and contacts for oxidation
- Engine brushes
In general, check everything that is associated with the rotation of the motor, if everything is normal, then call the master, most likely the problem in the module
High or low voltage in the network
Fault is very common, especially in the former Soviet Union, just recently went to the application. In the house where I made the repairs, voltage measurements showed 280 volts in the network, and it is not spikes, and a constant voltage. Got out of it by installing a 3kW stabilizer. It is important to understand that the washing machine consumes about 2.5 kW, so less than that can not be put. The regulator will simply burn out
First you must check the serviceability of the locking mechanism on the hatch itself, that is how the hook springs, which presses the lock mechanism, and pay special attention to the lock LED, when the door is closed it should not flash the same way as when it is open. If everything is alright with the door, then do the following procedure
- Take a screwdriver
- Plug the washing machine into the socket
- Try using a screwdriver to simulate the hook of the door, that is, you must press the lock mechanism so that it snaps into place
- If you hear a click and the water begins to pour, then you need to look for a mechanical problem associated with either the lock or the hook
I draw your attention to safety precautions, all this must be done in rubber shoes and rubber gloves, and in general, if you never did it. better not get involved, and call a master
A lot of water in the washing machine tray
The first thing to do is to check the pipes, it is possible that under them went a leak. You must also pour water into the tank and see if any water leaks from it. In short, check everything connected with the leakage of water from the system. There is another reason, the fact that inherently AquaStop, this is a plastic float, which in the case of a water leak rises and presses the micro switch, which in turn shuts off the washing machine from the water supply. In general, under this float is sometimes clogged, some muck, it is necessary to get to it and see if there is anything under it
You need to check the wiring and contacts on the water level sensor. Of course the best way is to replace the pressostat. Do not forget that this sensor is electronic and to check it an ordinary person, without knowledge of electronics and the right tools is almost unrealistic. On Samsungs, even though the sensors are good, but sometimes they fly. In general, look for any machine Samsung, put there your sensor and check the pressostat on this brand the same
First of all, pay attention to how all the buttons on your CM are pressed, just poke them with your finger. Usually such a state of affairs occurs in consequence of repair works in an apartment or in a house. It often happens that the buttons stick because of the presence of sweet substances such as syrup or sweet tea. In general, such an error is the result of careless attitude to the washing machine
There is no connection between the main control module and the control panel
There is nothing to be done here, you have to call a craftsman. Only an experienced person can deal with this detail, I mean the control module. Almost all the control units on the washing machine Samsung, filled with silicone, and novice masters make a lot of mistakes when they start to pull out the main unit from the case, you can not do this in any case, as a law in such cases, the board is broken, as a result of restoring it is almost impossible
Before draining, the water has an increased temperature
That’s the funniest error I’ve ever heard. Its essence is not clear at all. Perhaps the bourgeoisie had in mind, the high temperature level in the washing machine or untimely switching on the heater. In short, until the water cools and you, it will not drain, this error will hang like an open one. I have never met with such a failure, but I think the first thing to check the thermistor, that is, the water heating sensor, it is possible that this error could be caused by a sticking heater relay. In general, you need to look at the circuit that controls the water heater. And in general, I read somewhere that it can occur as a result of connecting a washing machine to a gas boiler
Simply put, the tachometer is out of order. First of all you need to check it, the best way to do this is to replace the motor. Try to blow out the motor with air, sometimes it happens that water gets on the tahodatch, and as a result it closes. Check the motor pins well, pick up a hair dryer and dry the motor pins. In general, the Samsung motor is located in a place where it is possible to get water on it from all sides. In general, dry the engine well, if you have the opportunity to change it, then try to change it, if it is not possible, it is better to call the wizard
As you understand, this error is designed only for washing machines which have a laundry drying function. It is necessary to stupidly check the sensor, the wire breakage and contacts
As in the previous point, determine the part for serviceability. First of all look at the wiring, contacts, and only then try to supply 220 volts to the fan, if it will work, then most likely it is necessary to look for a fault in the control module. If it does not work, change the fan
Automatic detergent dispenser does not turn on
This error occurs only in those washing machines which are connected to the Internet by means of Wi-Fi. How ridiculous it sounds, check your router and your Internet connection, or better yet, do not use this function
In short, the same as in the previous paragraph, only here more accurately indicated that you need to look at the drive, this damn dispenser. And again, the function is only available on machines connected to the Internet via WI-FI
Samsung washing machine DE error code Door lock fault
High temperature in the drum when drying the laundry
First of all, you need to check the dryer temperature sensor, it is possible that its nominal value does not correspond to the norm. Check the heater relay on the control module, it also happens. In general, this error appears only in those washing machines that have the drying function
Error PoF occurs after the power was turned off during the washing, and after it is turned on, these three letters appear, as a law, usually brains require restarting the program, it is necessary to select a new program and turn on the washing machine again
How to Read an Error Code from a Samsung Washing Machine with No Display
First of all, you should not be intimidated by what you do not know. Here everything is much easier than you can even imagine. The code is read by the glow indicators of washing modes and temperature selection modes. In case your washing machine has generated an error on the control panel, then all the washing machine indicators are blinking and any of the temperature selection LEDs are lit. Pay attention to the photo below, I think it says it all clearly. Some lights are blinking and others are on. It is very important that you understand that any error blinks all the washing mode LEDs. In this case, I will not decipher the codes in detail in the table below, as they are identical to those I have decoded above, if something is not clear, see the table above
Error D3 Samsung washing machine (Samsung)
In different models of washing machines Samsung error codes may vary. Improvement of diagnostic system, constant implementation of new features to facilitate the washing process leads to changes in the programming code of washing machines Samsung. The appearance of the error code d3 on the display informs the owner or a Samsung washing machine repair technician of problems with the loader door. Similar problems that prevent the normal functioning of the appliances can be displayed as DE, Ed, De1, DOOR codes.
Ed code is rarely seen on washing machines. This designation was used in machines produced before 2008. In today’s line, the Ed error on a Samsung washing machine has been replaced by the symbols De.
The code can be supplemented with numbers, the full list of possible errors:
Some Samsung models use error codes with additional letter “c”:
On some Samsung washing machines instead of fault codes use the full verbal notation. door error or just door.
In machines not equipped with a display, similar failures are signaled by flashing diodes and backlighting of all the water temperature indicator lights.
What to do if the washing machine fails and shows one of the above symbols on the display. we will try to explain.
Possible problems at Ed
When the Samsung washing machine’s display lights up Ed, a number of difficulties can arise with the technique:
- the hatch cannot be closed;
- If the machine gives an error Ed at the end of the washing, the door can not be unlocked;
- the washing machine closes, but the lock does not work.
Depending on the behavior of the washing machine, the problem may be minimal or require professional repair.

Explanation of error se
If the machine Samsung Diamond, Sensor gives out a code se, in some models, this code is comparable to 5e and it means that there is a problem with the water drain. This code appears on the display as soon as the washing program is almost finished.
Soapy water must be drained off for the rinsing and wringing process to begin. But for one possible reason, the control board receives a signal that this step is not possible and the device shows this code.
