DC Samsung Washer Error Code

DIY

Unbalanced load error.

What does DC mean?

United States

The current load in the washer is unbalanced inside the tub; Ur (unbalanced load retry) means the washer will add water, try to balance the load, and attempt the spin again, which extends the cycle and is not a fault.

United Kingdom

Door issues.

What to check first

  1. Check that the door is fully closed and that nothing is trapped in the door;
  2. check the appliance manual for optimum loading;
  3. see the child lock FAQ if relevant.

Safety

  • Never reach into the drum or pump area while the appliance is running.

Frequently asked questions

Is DC a fault?
No. It is not a fault: the washer adds water, retries the spin to balance the load, and the cycle simply takes longer.

If you see water on the floor, smell burning, or the official page says to call service, stop and contact the manufacturer or a qualified technician.
