E7 versus 1E
Samsung publishes one table with both generations of washer codes in it. E7 is the entry from the older generation and 1E is the one that replaced it. They name a single problem, a water level sensor issue, though a given model may word it differently.
Samsung’s reset advice
Take the power off at the mains and let 30 seconds pass.
Power up again, then pick a new programme and start it.
When E7 appears a second time, ring Samsung’s customer support team.
E8 covers a water cool-down issue, with the hose on the hot supply.
E9 covers a low water level during the cycle, with drain hose checks.
