dC / dE Door code on some models; dC may also mean imbalance. Samsung Washer Model-specific · check exact US model

Model or meaning confirmation needed. A US OEM support source is available; a complete model/series match has not been established. Source review: . This is not a diagnosis.

Samsung’s US guide lists dC with door errors on some models and with unbalanced-load errors on others. The model, not letter case alone, determines the meaning. dE is listed among door errors.

Common causes
  • Door not fully closed.
  • Laundry caught in the door.
  • Latch, lock, or wiring issue.
What you can safely check
  • Check the exact model’s manual before treating dC as a door error.
  • If the manual identifies a door error, check for trapped laundry and close the door normally.
  • Do not force or bypass the door or lid lock.
Call for service when
  • The door/lid is closed but the washer will not start.

dc / Ub / UE / Ur Balance codes; dC/dc depends on the model. Samsung Washer Model-specific · check exact US model

Model or meaning confirmation needed. A US OEM support source is available; a complete model/series match has not been established. Source review: . This is not a diagnosis.

Samsung lists Ub, UE, Ur and dc among unbalanced-load codes. It also warns that dc can be a door error on some models. A lowercase display alone does not distinguish the condition. Ur may indicate the washer is attempting to rebalance the load rather than a failed part.

Common causes
  • Single bulky item.
  • Small mixed load.
  • Washer not level or load bunched to one side.
What you can safely check
  • Check the model manual to distinguish a balance code from a door code.
  • For a confirmed balance code, pause safely and redistribute the load as the manual describes.
  • Do not force the door or bypass its lock.
Call for service when
  • Normal balanced loads still trigger the code.
  • The washer shakes violently.
  • The washer cannot complete high-speed spin.

Model scope: Samsung US washer guidance. dC/dc can describe imbalance or a door condition depending on the model.

Model or meaning confirmation needed. A US OEM support source is available; a complete model/series match has not been established. Source review: . This is not a diagnosis.

Samsung’s US guide lists 3C and 3E among motor errors, but also identifies 3E as a voltage error on some models. Confirm the model manual before using either interpretation.

Common causes
  • A motor-related condition on models that use this mapping.
  • A voltage-related condition on other models displaying 3E.
What you can safely check
  • Record the code and model number for service.
  • Use only the owner-manual steps for that model. Do not test live voltage, open the cabinet, or repeatedly reset a returning code.
Call for service when
  • The code returns or the model-specific meaning is unclear.
  • The drum does not rotate normally.
  • There is overheating, a burning smell, or visible electrical damage.

Model scope: Samsung US washer guidance; 3E is explicitly model-dependent (motor or voltage).

LE / LE1 / AE LE: rotation issue; AE: leak alert. Check the exact model. LG Washer Model-specific · check exact US model

Model or meaning confirmation needed. A US OEM support source is available; a complete model/series match has not been established. Source review: . This is not a diagnosis.

These codes are not interchangeable. LG’s US front-load guide describes LE as a rotation or motor-lock condition and AE as a possible internal leak. LE1 applicability has not been confirmed for the same model family.

Common causes
  • LE can relate to restricted drum rotation or an overloaded load.
  • AE can indicate water detected inside the washer; this is a different condition.
What you can safely check
  • Record the exact display and model number.
  • For AE or visible leaking, stop using the washer and arrange service. Do not run another cycle to test it.
  • For LE, use only the checks in the owner manual for the exact model; do not open the cabinet.
Call for service when
  • AE appears or water is leaking.
  • LE returns after the model-specific owner-manual checks.
  • The exact code or model does not match the manual.

Model scope: LG US front-load guidance distinguishes LE from AE. LE1 and other model families require their own documentation.
