Samsung Washer 5E Error Code
Water is not draining from the washer. The machine stops or pauses because it detects water still inside.
Common causes
- Clogged drain pump filter
- Kinked or blocked drain hose
- Faulty drain pump
How to fix it
- Unplug the washer and check the drain hose for kinks or blockages.
- Clean the drain pump filter (usually behind a small door at the bottom front).
- Ensure the drain hose is not inserted too far into the standpipe.
⚠ When to call a pro: If the drain pump filter is clean and the hose is clear but the error persists, call a technician.
