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

  1. Unplug the washer and check the drain hose for kinks or blockages.
  2. Clean the drain pump filter (usually behind a small door at the bottom front).
  3. 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.
