Quick answer
OE and its variants are overflow errors: the washer has too much water in it. Samsung points owners to its overflow guide.
Model compatibility: Samsung reuses codes across series and model years, so OE, 0E, OC, 0C, 1 OC, 1 0C may mean something different on another appliance or generation. Confirm this against your model’s documentation and record your full model number before acting.
Plain language
What this code means
Overflow error: there is too much water in the washer.
OE on a Samsung washer is an overflow error, which means there is too much water in the washer. The display can also read 0E, OC, 0C, 1 OC or 1 0C, and all of them describe the same condition on every Samsung washer that uses them.
What the manual tells owners
Samsung’s code list gives the meaning and then refers owners to its overflow guide for the next steps. Because there is standing water involved, switch the washer off and unplug it before you look at anything around the tub or hoses.
