For the Samsung Washer families covered by the source set, **0E** means **overflow / excessive water error**. The first useful step is to preserve the exact characters and model number before power cycling the appliance. The exact stage when the code appears can be as important as the characters themselves. Note whether it happens at startup, during fill, heating, cooling, draining, spinning, drying, or after a power event. The recorded display form is **0E**. Search normalization stores it as **0E** while preserving the characters a homeowner actually sees.

Quick answer
Overflow / excessive water error.
Model compatibility: Samsung can reuse or reformat codes across series and model years, so 0E may mean something different on another appliance or generation. Confirm this against your model’s documentation and record your full model number before acting.

Signs
Symptoms you may notice
The 0E display becomes more meaningful if the appliance may enter a protective drain or stop condition.
A symptom that fits 0E is that moisture can be present inside a base pan even when no puddle is visible outside.
One clue that supports the 0E diagnosis is that the code can return after a fill, drain, defrost, ice-making, or water-dispensing event.
On affected Samsung washing machine models, 0E appears during the washer stage associated with overflow / excessive water error.
A symptom that fits 0E is that the cycle can pause, stop, retry, drain, or refuse to advance until the condition is cleared.

Before you call
Safe checks you can make
These are simple, non-hazardous checks only. If anything is unclear, stop and contact a technician.
The next non-invasive check is to stop use if water is near electrical parts or leaving the cabinet.
Before requesting service for 0E, inspect only visible user-accessible hoses, filters, doors, gaskets, and water connections.
To rule out an accessible cause, check for excess suds where detergent is involved.
With 0E recorded, do not defeat or dry out a leak sensor repeatedly without locating why moisture reached it.
Before requesting service for 0E, record the code and the cycle stage where it appears.
As an external check for 0E, check owner-accessible water supply, drain hose/filter, load balance, door, detergent, or power only when relevant.
Important safety warning. When working around a washing machine that shows 0E, keep the checks external and non-invasive. Disconnect power and stop use for active leakage near electrical parts, smoke, burning smell, or repeated breaker trips.

When to request repair service
Persistent leak/overflow detection needs the moisture source corrected. Internal leak tracing, valves, sensors, pumps, or wiring may require service. In a service visit for 0E, model-specific testing should follow the overflow / excessive water error circuit rather than treating the code as proof of one failed part.
Book your repair
Seeing this code on your Samsung appliance?
Book a specialist visit for a clear estimate and approval before any repair.
A single documented power reset can help after an external condition or power event is corrected. If **0E** returns at the same stage, repeated resets only erase useful evidence and do not repair the cause.
Continue only if the appliance is otherwise safe and the owner-level checks are appropriate. Stop for leakage near electrical parts, smoke, burning odor, arcing, gas concerns, repeated breaker trips, uncontrolled heating, or unsafe temperatures.
Treat **0E** as a starting point, not a replacement instruction. Wiring, feedback signals, operating conditions, and electronic controls can mimic a failed component.
The same-looking code can be reused on another Samsung appliance family or reformatted by region/model year. Match the appliance type and exact model before applying a meaning. This page therefore keeps **Washer 0E** separate from same-looking codes used by other Samsung appliance families.
