E2
Easy DIY fix

The control panel is reading one of its buttons as pressed when nobody is touching it. A button may be physically stuck, or dirt and residue may be holding it in. If the button is fine, the display control board may be faulty.

Compatible models

Samsung doesn't publish a model list for this code; it appears on Samsung washers with a digital display. Check your owner's manual.

Also shown as

Also shown as bE2 or 6E2 on some models. 8E2 or BE2 is a stuck-button code on some models but a vibration (MEMS) sensor fault on others, so check your manual. bE or 6E without the 2 is a different code (motor speed sensor).

Difficulty

Most people can clear this one at home with simple checks.

Safety first: unplug the washer (or switch off its breaker) before touching filters, hoses or panels. If you smell burning or gas, or see water near the outlet, stop and call a professional.

How to fix Samsung E2

  1. Power off

    Turn the washer off and unplug it before touching the controls.

  2. Free each button

    Push each button down and release it, pressing lightly near each of its edges to free one that is sticking. If the panel feels sticky, wipe it with a soft cloth that is only slightly damp, and let it dry completely.

  3. Power on and check

    Plug the washer back in, turn it on, and see whether the code clears.

When to call a technician

If a button is visibly damaged or the code returns after you power the washer back on, the display control board likely needs replacement by a technician.
