Samsung Washer E2, bE2, 6E2, BE2, 8E2 Error Code

Two readings of the same display

A Samsung washer can show E2, bE2, 6E2, BE2 or 8E2 for two unrelated reasons, and which one applies depends on how old the machine is.

• Current machines: a button on the control panel is jammed, so the washer believes it is being pressed all the time.
• Older machines: E2 is the former label for 5E, meaning the water is not draining.

Some models treat BE2 and 8E2 as a Mems sensor error instead of a button fault. Your user manual tells you which meaning belongs to your model.

Freeing a stuck button

1. Switch the washer off.
2. Press one panel button at a time.
3. While pressing it, rock it back and forth so each edge gets touched, then let go.
4. Repeat for every button on the panel.

Ask for service when a button looks damaged or when the code comes back as soon as the washer is powered up again.

If the washer is an older one: no drain

For the legacy E2, Samsung lists the following:

• Clean the drain pump filter.
• Look along the drain hose and the waste connection for kinks or a blockage.
• Start a spin cycle so any leftover water is pumped out.

Contact Samsung support if the fault stays after that. As with all legacy entries, meanings can differ between models.

Nearby legacy codes

• E3 is the older overflow display.
• E4 and E1 cover a water supply fault.
• Ed is the older door code.
