The following may happen with your Samsung washing machine: after a while of washing, you notice that you don't hear water filling the drum, and you notice an error code (1C, 1E, or, on models produced before 2007, E7) flashing on the display. Perhaps the error message appeared during the spin or rinse cycle during the previous wash, but you didn't notice it at the time. However, 10-20 seconds into the new cycle, the error message reoccurs, causing the machine to stop working.
If there is no display on the control panel, you will identify this error by the hot water wash indicator lights and the 60 and 40 degree temperature indicators being lit, while the other indicators are flashing.
Be careful! Don't confuse this with error E1, which means something completely different and is related to water ingestion.
Explanation of errors
Samsung appliances contain a component called a pressure switch. In other words, it's a water level sensor. When the sensor malfunctions, it produces a frequency that doesn't correspond to the wash cycle, draining the water and displaying error codes 1E, 1C, or E7. This most often indicates a faulty pressure switch, but it's recommended to first try to resolve the issue yourself.
What to do if error code 1E appears on your Samsung washing machine monitor:
You may be able to fix this problem without calling a technician. To do so, follow these steps:
- Checking the control module.
Unplug the appliance and wait at least 5 minutes before plugging it back in. Resetting the controller will likely restore the washing machine's functionality.
- Checking the contacts at the pressure switch and the control board.
It's possible that one of the connectors on the control module board or pressure switch has come loose. All contacts need to be inspected and repaired if possible.
- Checking the pressure switch tube.
You need to check whether the sensor tube that connects it to the pressure sampling chamber has become disconnected or whether it has become kinked. It's designed to activate the pressure relief valve when the tank fills, stopping the water flow. If the line is kinked or disconnected, error code 1E (E7, 1C) will be displayed. This can be easily fixed.
If the above steps do not help, unfortunately, this means that the breakdown is more serious and requires the participation of a home appliance repair specialist.
