Error 6E (Eb, bE, bC) indicates problems in the electronics of the Samsung washing machine. Codes vary depending on the production date of the equipment.
We will tell you what to do when the symbol 6e is lit on the screen of the typewriter, how to fix the malfunction without calling the wizard, and in which cases you will have to resort to professional advice.
Error codes in old and new cars
Until 2007, Samsung used the designation Eb in Samsung washing machines, although it is more correct to read the code as bE. In devices without an electronic display, the problem is indicated by the illumination of temperature indicators for cold water, 40 and 60 degrees at the same time.
A complete list of designations, the analogue of which is error 6 e in the washing machine:
- bE with extra digits (bE1, bE2, bE3);
- sometimes the order of letters changes - on Eb;
- some models use bC (or bC2) encoding.
Causes of Failures
Error 6e signals difficulties with starting the equipment. There are three common reasons why the washer shows an error BE:
- the triac switch is out of order;
- there are problems with the control buttons themselves;
- a failure occurred in the electronic controller of the Samsung washing machine.
Before repair, try to clarify in which particular unit of the device a malfunction occurred. It is easier for owners of washing machines with a three-character screen to solve this problem:
- the b1 sign indicates a problem with the power button;
- bE2 (b2 or bc2) pays attention to problems with other keys of the typewriter;
- if lit E3 - there is a problem associated with the control unit.
Let us consider in more detail what means the appearance of one of the given trouble codes and whether it is possible to solve the problem on your own.
Solving problems without calling the wizard
LY on the board can be displayed at any stage of the washing machine - and at the start of washing, and just before the end of the process.
When codes of this group appear, it is rarely possible to remove an error independently.
The reason for the software failure
Samsung washing machines are equipped with many sensors, each of which may fail. To reset errors, it is enough to restart the electronics by turning off the equipment from the network for several minutes and turning it on again.
Socket Outage Faults
Power outages can drive Samsung's subtle electronics crazy. This happens if the contact of the plug with the outlet is not tight enough or the household network is overloaded.
To eliminate the error, you need to tidy the electrician, which means replacing the socket, plugs of the washing machine or repairing the wiring.
Buttons do not perform their functions
If the machine generates an error 6E, there is a possibility of insufficient contact of the buttons or their sticking after pressing.
Try holding the key down for about a minute or pushing it several times. Helps and loosening the fasteners of the front panel of the washing machine.
When do you need a master
If it was not possible to cope with the problem on your own, the technician displays the same error on the display - the table will help you to understand what this behavior means.
Malfunction | Possible reasons | What to do |
6E (bC) was displayed after the start of the program. The washer rotates the drum, as if spinning. The equipment starts in normal mode, but it does not cope with the release - it freezes. | Closing the contacts led to the breakdown of the triac. | It is necessary to replace the unit, possibly together with diodes and relays. |
The CMA drum spins to the limit, then Eb appears on the scoreboard. | The Hall sensor is broken, resulting in a failure of the control triac. | It is necessary to diagnose the tachogenerator. With insufficient contact, the fasteners are improved, the burned-out part is replaced. |
The wash does not start, after a couple of minutes the 6E indicator or the like lights up. | The motor relay is damaged (after poor repair, as a result of contact oxidation or otherwise). | Soldering troubleshoot problems with legs or relay contacts. A burnt part must be replaced. |
6E lights up periodically. | Insufficient contact between the wires (they are worn or frayed). | To restore the operation of the machine, the contacts are checked, cleaned and reconnected. In difficult cases, a complete loop change is required. |
