Samsung Washer code **OF** is associated with **overflow / excessive water error**. The display identifies the system or condition the control detected, but it does not by itself prove which individual part should be replaced. Samsung uses overlapping code conventions across model years and regions. This page keeps the appliance context attached to the code so a same-looking string from another product family is not misapplied. The recorded display form is **OF**. Search normalization stores it as **OF** 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 OF 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
Depending on the exact model, the appliance may enter a protective drain or stop condition.
Depending on the exact model, moisture can be present inside a base pan even when no puddle is visible outside.
A symptom that fits OF is that the code may return after a fill, drain, defrost, ice-making, or water-dispensing event.
Depending on the exact model, oF appears during the washer stage associated with overflow / excessive water error.
While OF is active, the cycle may 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.
Before opening any service area, stop use if water is near electrical parts or leaving the cabinet.
Before opening any service area, check only visible user-accessible hoses, filters, doors, gaskets, and water connections.
Before requesting service for OF, check for excess suds where detergent is involved.
Before opening any service area, do not defeat or dry out a leak sensor repeatedly without locating why moisture reached it.
As an external check for OF, record the code and the cycle stage where it appears.
With OF recorded, 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 OF, 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
If the owner-accessible checks do not clear OF, Persistent leak/overflow detection needs the moisture source corrected. Internal leak tracing, valves, sensors, pumps, or wiring may require service. The repair should confirm the monitored function and its feedback before any board or component is condemned.

You can try the one reset Samsung documents for the model, but **OF** returning afterward means the condition still exists. Note the operating stage instead of cycling power repeatedly.
That depends on the accompanying symptom. A code with no safety hazard may allow a short diagnostic check, but **OF** should not be ignored if performance is deteriorating or the display keeps returning.
No. **OF** tells you which condition or check the control detected. The same display can result from the named component, its wiring, a connector, a supply/airflow/water condition, or the control that reads it.
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 OF** separate from same-looking codes used by other Samsung appliance families.
