Often, most owners of Samsung washing machines are faced with the appearance of error codes - 5E, 5C and E2. These errors are very easy to eliminate if you know at least the structure of the household appliance and the basic rules for care.

You can solve the problem by pressing the “start / pause” buttons. With this technique, the machine will try to drain the water again. If such a method is ineffective, check drain hose and filter for blockages. Additionally, it is recommended to check the water pressure sensor.
- 5C - notifies that water is not draining from the washing machine. The cause of the malfunction may be a blockage in the drain filter or in the drain pump. Remove debris and foreign objects as soon as possible. To do this, disconnect the device from electrical power and drain the water through a special emergency drain, and then carefully clean the filter or pump from contamination.
Important! These errors can be prevented by the proper and timely care of the automatic washing machine. On our site you will learn tips on how to conduct washing machine prevention.
Drain filter clogging
Blockages and contaminants in the drain filter entail a lot of various malfunctions in the washing machine. Skilled professionals distinguish between two types of blockages: natural and mechanical.
Important! The principle of the appearance of both types of blockages is the same. The only difference is that some appear faster and others appear slower:
- Mechanical blockage in the drain filter is formed by the ingress of small foreign objects (coins, buttons, toothpicks, small pieces of linen).
- Natural clogging involves the accumulation of pile and wool during the washing process.
In order to avoid clogging, it is necessary to prevent it in advance:
- Before loading the laundry into the hatch, you need to check the pockets of clothes or simply use special bags for washing.
- It is also recommended that you check the drain filter several times a month and clean it.
Clean as follows:
- It is necessary to remove the filter.
- Rinse it under running water.
- Check the installation site of the filtration system, most often all the dirt is collected there.
- If limescale deposits appear on the filter, replace the part with a new one.
Important! After all the procedures performed, you need to check the operation of the automatic washing machine. To do this, connect it to the power supply and set the necessary function.
Defective drain pump
One of the weak points of the Samsung washing machine is the drain pump. Due to its malfunction, the machine cannot drain and collect water, thus, its overall performance is disrupted.
To solve this problem:
- You must first drain the water from the washer through an emergency drain. The main thing - with this manipulation, you need to drain the water by tilting the machine a little. Water can flood the floor and this will cause many inconveniences.
- Then you should unscrew the back wall of the washing machine, since in that part there is a drain pump.
- Next, you need to disconnect all the contacts and wires from the pump, get the engine with the impeller.
- It is necessary to reduce the diameter of the impeller using scissors or a knife (about 1 mm, not more).
- After that, collect all the parts in their original form and check the operability of the household appliance.
Important! This method is very effective and tested on more than one hundred washing machines of various modern brands. If this method does not resolve the situation, then it is recommended to consult a specialist or simply replace the drain pump.
