When AE3 keeps coming back, dial (415) 969-6153 and mention it is a Samsung washer in San Francisco or the wider Bay Area. Samsung washer repair is explained on its page. Say that you already did the power-down.
Model compatibility: Samsung reuses codes across series and model years, so AE3 may mean something different on another appliance or generation. Confirm this against your model’s documentation and record your full model number before acting.
