Rarely, a Samsung washing machine gives an error 3E just like that - most often such code appears at specific stages of washing, which means a certain regularity. The washing machine gives a problem when the code 3E, 3E1, 3E2, 3E3, 3E4, 3C, 3C1, 3C2, 3C3, 3C4 is lit, with:

• Spin the drum when the program starts;
• Rinse clothes;
• Spin when the machine turns the drum a little and gives an indication of 3E.

What does the

error mean? If Samsung SMA showed 3E, 8E, EA on the display of the SMA, then most often this indicates a malfunction in the tachometer or the engine. Analogs of code 3E are deciphered as follows:

• EA is similar to code 3E, simply displayed on the display of early models of Samsung machines;
• Error 3E1, 3E2, 3E3, 3E4, 3C, 3C1, 3C2, 3C3, 3C4 also indicates a faulty tachogenerator;
• Code 8E, 8C, 8C1 indicates problems in the operation of the vibration sensor, which is present in modern models of Samsung styralok;
• 3С indicates that the power of the motor of the washing machine is reduced.

To solve this problem, you need to understand the reasons for highlighting the code 3E and its "brothers".

error occurs. The typewriter may show an error 3E with:

• Excessive loading of the drum with things;
• Hit objects between the tank and the drum;
• Temporary failure in the control module;
• Failure of the tachometer;
• Failure of the vibration sensor;
• Weakening of the drive belt;
• Reducing engine power, which is possible due to worn brushes or punched winding;
• Control module faults.

How to fix the

problem After analyzing the reasons for the fault codes popping up on the display of the washing machine, it is important to learn how to fix the problem yourself. Here is what you need to do to clear the error:

1. When reloading the washer, turn it off and pull out the extra laundry. Then start the machine again.
2. When jamming the drum to remove foreign object through the hole for the heater. To get the heater, you will need to remove the front wall of the washer.
3. In case of temporary control failure, turn off the machine by removing the cord from the network for a few minutes, and then turn it on again.
4. Change burnt tachometer to a new one.
5. Check the motor brushes and, if necessary, also change them.
6. If the connection with the tachometer is lost, check and clean the element.
