Warranty
What Samsung's warranty covers
Samsung's home appliance warranty page describes a 1-year manufacturer's warranty, with refrigerators adding 10 years of parts coverage on the digital inverter compressor and 5 years of labor on the sealed system, and washers and dryers adding 10 years on the digital inverter motor, with other parts following the standard warranty (Samsung). Its refrigerator warranty page describes the 5-year sealed system warranty as covering parts and labor for the condenser, evaporator and compressor, and the 10-year compressor warranty as the compressor part only (Samsung). Warranty repairs go through Samsung's authorized technicians; check your coverage with your serial number on Samsung's registration page.
Model number
Where to find the model and serial number
Samsung asks for the serial number to look up warranty status. For washers and dryers it suggests a flashlight and a phone photo for labels in awkward spots, and the user manual or purchase paperwork as a backup (Samsung). See the model number guide for where tags usually sit by appliance type.
Error codes
What Samsung error codes mean
Meanings are Samsung's own wording, condensed. Codes vary by model, so confirm against your manual.
| Code | Appliance | What Samsung says it means |
|---|---|---|
| 4C, nF, 4E | Washer | Not filling error: water is not entering the washer correctly. Check both supply hoses and that the valves are fully open. source |
| 4C2, 4E2 | Washer | Hot/cold error: the supply hoses are swapped. Samsung says this code does not indicate service is needed. source |
| 5C, nd, 5E, SE, SC | Washer | No drain error: water is not draining at the correct speed or at all. source |
| OE, OC | Washer | Overflow error: there is too much water in the washer. source |
| LE, 1E, LC | Washer | Water level or leakage error: moisture is detected where it does not belong, or a sensor issue. source |
| dC, dS, dE, dL | Washer | Door error (on some models dC is an unbalanced load error instead; check your manual). source |
| UE, Ub, Ur | Washer | Unbalanced load. Ur means the washer is retrying to balance and is not a fault. source |
| SUd, Sd | Washer | Excessive suds. Samsung says this is a detergent issue, not a service issue. source |
