Reading bE and 6E
Samsung names both displays a motor speed sensor error and does not restrict the listing to one model or series. The lowercase b matters: it separates this code from the button codes that begin with bE.
First move
Shut the machine down, wait 2 to 3 minutes, switch it on and begin the cycle again. When bE or 6E remains, request service.
Samsung washer repair for sensor codes in San Francisco
If the sensor code returns after the restart, call (415) 969-6153; we answer for the San Francisco Bay Area. You can read about Samsung washer repair first. Keep the code, model number and restart steps within reach.
Model compatibility: Samsung reuses codes across series and model years, so bE, 6E may mean something different on another appliance or generation. Confirm this against your model’s documentation and record your full model number before acting.
