Fast Fixes for Samsung Washing Machine Error Codes

Before scheduling a service with your local RightFix, there are three quick and easy solutions you can try to resolve some of the most common Samsung washer error codes:

Rebalance your laundry load to make sure clothes are distributed evenly inside the washer.
Reset your washer by unplugging it, waiting for about 10 seconds, and plugging it back in.
Check your drain hose to ensure it’s not bent or kinked, which can cause drainage and leakage problems.

If these quick fixes don’t solve the issue, it may be time to call in a professional from RightFix.
