What FE reports
When FE lights up, the washer is flagging a fan error. Unlike the older E-series entries, this one is a current code on Samsung’s washer list, which also carries legacy codes, so meanings may differ by model.
Home fixes
There are none in the manufacturer text. The single instruction is to call Samsung customer support, which means any work on the fan is for a technician.
Fan faults on Samsung washers in San Francisco and the Bay Area go through Samsung washer repair; our number is (415) 969-6153. Please mention FE and the model number when you call.
Model compatibility: Samsung reuses codes across series and model years, so FE Fan error may mean something different on another appliance or generation. Confirm this against your model’s documentation and record your full model number before acting.
