For the Samsung Washer families covered by the source set, **9H1** means **power / voltage error**. The first useful step is to preserve the exact characters and model number before power cycling the appliance. Samsung appliances monitor whether a function reaches an expected state within a certain sequence. When that check fails, the control can store or display a code even though the root cause may sit elsewhere in the same circuit. The recorded display form is **9H1**. Search normalization stores it as **9H1** while preserving the characters a homeowner actually sees.

Power / voltage error.
Model compatibility: Samsung can reuse or reformat codes across series and model years, so 9H1 may mean something different on another appliance or generation. Confirm this against your model’s documentation and record your full model number before acting.

These are simple, non-hazardous checks only. If anything is unclear, stop and contact a technician.
Important safety warning. Disconnect power and stop use for active leakage near electrical parts, smoke, burning smell, or repeated breaker trips. For 9H1, stop troubleshooting immediately if the symptom crosses into a safety hazard rather than a normal diagnostic condition.
Persistent power/voltage codes need the household supply and appliance power/control circuits checked safely before parts are replaced. A repeatable 9H1 event is more useful diagnostically than repeated resets, because it shows when the power / voltage error check is failing.

Power / voltage error.
A single documented power reset can help after an external condition or power event is corrected. If **9H1** returns at the same stage, repeated resets only erase useful evidence and do not repair the cause.
That depends on the accompanying symptom. A code with no safety hazard may allow a short diagnostic check, but **9H1** should not be ignored if performance is deteriorating or the display keeps returning.
Treat **9H1** 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 9H1** separate from same-looking codes used by other Samsung appliance families.
