LGWasher · Front-load washer

Water is not draining

Documented display: OE

LG uses OE for a washer drainage issue. Start with the visible drain hose, then use the exact model manual before any filter cleaning.

Filter access and drain procedures differ across LG washer models. Use the model number from the rating label to open the matching owner's manual.

Water is not filling to the expected level

Documented display: IE

LG describes IE as a water-inlet condition: the washer did not reach its expected water level in time. Check visible supply conditions and the model manual.

LG notes that its guide may show images or steps that differ from a particular product. Use the model-specific owner manual for any procedure beyond checking the visible tap and hose.

WhirlpoolWasher · Front-load washer

Drain time is longer than expected

Documented display: F9 E1

Whirlpool describes F9 E1 as a long-drain condition on supported front-load washers. Hose routing and model-specific drain guidance are the first things to verify.

Whirlpool's page is for front-load washers. Installation dimensions and filter access are not universal; use the manual that matches your model number.

Water-protection system is active

Documented display: E15

Bosch associates E15 with its water-protection system. Treat this as a stop-and-contact-support condition rather than a reset or disassembly project.

This entry follows Bosch's E15 support guidance. Do not infer that every dishwasher with an E15 display uses the same system or procedure.

LGDishwasher · Dishwasher

Water is not reaching the expected level

Documented display: IE

LG describes IE on supported dishwashers as a water-inlet error. Confirm the household water supply and use the manual for the exact dishwasher model.

LGWasher · Washer

The load is not balanced for spinning

Documented display: UE / Ub

LG uses UE or Ub for an unbalanced-load condition on supported washers. The display describes the load or spin condition, not a confirmed machine fault.

LG's code list covers multiple washer families. Spin behavior and load limits vary by model, so do not treat another washer's cycle advice as universal.

SamsungWasher · Washer

The door is not detected as securely closed

Documented display: dC / dE family

Samsung groups dC and several dE-family displays as washer door errors. Exact variants differ by model; a code alone does not identify a failed latch.

Samsung lists many visually similar door-code variants, and some apply only to certain product families. Match the full model number and complete display before using a procedure.

The leak sensor has detected moisture

Documented display: LC / LE

Samsung identifies LC and LE as leakage-related codes. The sensor can detect moisture even when a floor leak is not visible, so treat the display cautiously.

Samsung notes a WaterWall-specific interpretation for some models. Display behavior and leak-protection procedures are not universal across the brand's dishwasher range.

A drain-related condition was detected

Documented display: E24 / E-24

Bosch lists E24 as a drain-related code with more than one possible explanation. It does not, by itself, prove that the drain pump has failed.

Bosch's guidance presents multiple E24 possibilities and steps. Pump-cover access, drain routing, and owner-serviceable components vary by model; do not treat one procedure as applicable to every Bosch dishwasher.

LGDryer · Electric dryer

The dryer reports restricted exhaust airflow

Documented display: d75 / d80 / d90 / d95

LG describes the d75, d80, d90 and d95 family as exhaust-duct restriction indicators. The displayed percentage is a warning level, not a precise measurement of the duct.

This entry is intentionally limited to LG electric dryers. LG says the interpretation can differ on gas models, and vent layouts vary by installation. Use the exact manual and professional guidance for your setup.

The door or latch is not detected as secured

Documented display: dC / dE / dF family

Samsung groups dC, dE, dF and similar displays as dryer door-related codes. They describe a door-state condition, not a confirmed latch replacement.

The code list includes multiple variants, including 1 dC and 1 dF. Models without a digital display may show blinking lights instead; the manual explains that model's indicator pattern.

SamsungDryer · Dryer

An abnormal heating or temperature condition was detected

Documented display: HC / hE / HC4 family

Samsung describes HC-family displays as heating errors and says temperature or airflow can be involved. The code is not an instruction to open the dryer or test its wiring.

Samsung notes that some HC-family codes can relate to different conditions depending on model and power type. A general page cannot verify voltage, airflow, or heater operation in your home.

A temperature sensor or temperature-reading issue was detected

Documented display: tC / tE sensor family

Samsung groups tC and tE variants with dryer temperature errors. A displayed sensor code does not identify a replaceable part without model-specific diagnosis.

Samsung lists multiple temperature-code variants and recommends service when they persist after its model-appropriate checks. The exact display format depends on the control panel.

SamsungRefrigerator · Refrigerator / freezer

The freezer fan is not reporting expected rotation

Documented display: 21E

Samsung describes 21E as a freezer-fan error. Its code page warns not to unplug or clear refrigerator codes unless instructed, so this guide does not suggest a reset.

The refrigerator fan is not reporting expected operation

Documented display: 22E / 22C

Samsung identifies 22E and 22C as refrigerator-fan codes on supported models. Cooling and food-safety decisions need the manufacturer or an authoritative food-safety source.

Samsung groups 22E and 22C together but cautions that codes depend on product model. Its own error-code page recommends preserving the display for diagnosis unless a procedure tells you otherwise.

A refrigerator defrost-sensor error was reported

Documented display: 5E

Samsung includes 5E among its refrigerator defrost-sensor codes. The company's public list is not exhaustive, and the code alone does not establish cooling performance.

Samsung's public error-code page says its commonly received code list is not complete. We include 5E only as a short, source-linked identification entry and do not infer additional checks from other models.
