As a result, instead of adequately performing the selected mode, the machine notifies you of a malfunction and displays a combination of characters tE / Ec / tc on its display. Sometimes such a combination is not displayed immediately after launch. First, the device pumps water, after which it starts to rotate its drum, but, having failed to complete the task, it stops and reproduces the tE problem on the screen.This malfunction is typical for devices that are additionally equipped with the laundry drying function and do not have it.

The Samsung unit, in which the manufacturer does not provide a screen, will notify you of its malfunction using the characteristic LED illumination: the LEDs for the washing functions blink and the temperature LEDs at 60 ° C and 95 ° C (Bio 60 ° C) light up.

Please note that such a problem can also be displayed using the special character combination tE1 / tE2 / tE3.

Fault value

Problems tE, Ec, tc in Samsung units indicate that the temperature control sensor or the electric heating element itself is faulty.

As a result of such a breakdown, the control board does not receive information about the temperature of the water in the tank. The device cannot control (regulate) the temperature of the water in order to carry out the current washing mode. Therefore, the unit does not see another solution to such a malfunction, such as stopping the selected mode and displaying a breakdown.

Be careful! Samsung units, which are additionally equipped with a drying function, display not only the breakdown of the water temperature control relay in the tank tE, but also the malfunction of the additional controllers - tE1, tE2, tE3. Such sensors inform about a malfunction immediately after spinning or during drying of the laundry in the drum.

• Failure tE1 - the device does not receive information from the sensor responsible for adjusting the temperature during the drying process, or transmits false information that does not correspond to the actual temperature.
• Failure tE2 - the machine cannot determine what condition the fan is in. The controller does not inform the brains (control board) about the temperature on its case.
• The abbreviation tE3 - informs the device that the temperature sensor (condensate flow) that is formed during drying of laundry does not work. The sensor does not work correctly, so the machine cannot complete the process, it stops and displays a malfunction.

It should be noted! The abbreviation tE is displayed after you run the selected program. The combinations of characters tE1 / tE2 / tE3 are displayed in a completely different mode, after the spin process is completed and before proceeding to the drying mode.

• Banal software crash. To resolve this error, you must perform a forced reboot. Disconnect the device from the power supply for plus or minus 15 minutes. Restart the machine. After resetting current programs, it should start to work adequately.
• Violation of the integrity (open) of the contact circuit. Examine the density of the loopback connections that could disconnect due to transportation, reinstallation, or operation without observing the machine's operating requirements set forth in the instructions. Disconnect and reconnect all connections. The machine should reset the breakdown and make money safely.
• Incorrect temperature controller information. Perhaps special sensors transmit incorrect information; they cannot determine the actual temperature. To do this, you need to reset the available reading information using a special device located on the corresponding temperature sensor. As a result of the reset, reliable information will come from the sensors on the control board, which will be able to determine and control the temperature.
