Too much water
An overflow error is what Samsung calls it when the washer holds more water than it should. Six readouts carry the same meaning: OE, 0E, OC, 0C, 1 OC and 1 0C. No single washer series owns them.
Where Samsung sends you
The code table states the problem, then points owners toward Samsung’s overflow guide rather than listing steps of its own. With water standing in the machine, power it off and pull the plug first, and only then go near the tub or the hoses.
LE1 means a low water level was detected during the cycle.
Washer repair help around the Bay Area
For an overflowing Samsung washer in San Francisco or the Bay Area, Samsung washer repair is the page to start from, or call (415) 969-6153. Mention the exact display, the model number and that the power was switched off first.
Model compatibility: Samsung reuses codes across series and model years, so OE, 0E, OC, 0C, 1 OC, 1 0C may mean something different on another appliance or generation. Confirm this against your model’s documentation and record your full model number before acting.
Plain language
What this code means

Important safety warning. Do not attempt repairs involving electrical components, gas, water lines, refrigerant or sealed systems. Unplug the appliance if it is safe to reach the outlet, and leave internal diagnostics to a qualified technician.
