Error codes 5E (SE) OR E2 in the Samsung washing machine

They collected the dirty laundry and put it in the drum of your home assistant. Set the required mode and run it. And instead of adequate operation, you found a 5E / E2 combination on the display. Such symbolism notifies the absence of a drain. A malfunction is displayed without a certain pattern, both during washing and rinsing.

It should be noted! Do not forget to carefully study the displayed characters. Distinguish between 5E and E5. These are completely different problems. The abbreviation E5 is inherent in units of the first models equipped with a display, and means a malfunction of the electric heating element.

If the device is not equipped with a display, then the failure is displayed using a characteristic LED illumination: the LED indicators responsible for all washing programs and the temperature LED 40 ° C blink (second indicator light, count down from the top).

Fault value

This abbreviation SE / 5E / E2 indicates that the machine cannot drain. After unsuccessful attempts to pump out dirty water, the machine pauses the current mode and displays a trouble code on its display. Drain does not work.

Note! The abbreviation E2 is inherent only in Samsung typewriters with a display that were produced up to and including 2007.

SE or E2 malfunction, how to solve it without resorting to professional intervention

In order to establish the reason for the lack of discharge, you will need to manually drain the accumulated water from the device. Then open the porthole and remove wet, unwashed laundry. We performed the drain, then we begin to search for the cause of the highlighted combination of breakdown 5 E / E 2.

• The filter does not cope with its purpose. Open the hatch located on the lower front panel, remove the filter (first place a rag on the floor to avoid leakage of water accumulated in the hatch). Then remove foreign objects, then rinse the filter itself under the pressure of running water. Then put it back and close the hatch. As a result of such manipulation, your machine should work safely.
• The presence of a foreign object in the sewer system (at the inlet of the drain hose to the sewer). To eliminate such a breakdown, you need to disconnect the drain hose and rinse it with running water, eliminate foreign objects that are in the hose or in the sewer system (pipe). After that, restart the machine, let it pump and drain the water. If it worked in the normal mode, it means that you fixed the breakdown.
• Low drain hose capacity. Inspect the hose for bends. If the hose is bent, then remove the bends and align it. As a result, the hose will be able to safely pass water and adequately drain.
• Software crash. You must perform a forced reboot. To do this, disconnect the device from power for a period of plus or minus 15 minutes. After stopping, reconnect the machine, it should start to work adequately.
• Violation of the integrity (open) of the contact circuit responsible for the operation of the drain pump. Examine the contact connections responsible for the connection between the control module and the drain pump. Very often, such a problem is displayed as a result of reinstallation or after transporting the machine. It is necessary to disconnect and reconnect the loops of contacts.After which the device should work in normal mode.
