Samsung Washer 8E, BE, 8C, BC Error Code

Samsung’s US page lists 8E, 8E1, 8E2, BE, BE1, BE2, 8C, BC, 8C1, 8C2, BC1, BC2, 1 8C, 1 BC, 18C1, 1BC1, 18C2 and 1BC2 as a Mems sensor error. On some models 8E and BE are a vibration sensor error. The code applies to all generations, but another Samsung table reads it differently, as covered below.

US listing: Mems sensor error

Power the washer off for 2 to 3 minutes, power it on and restart the cycle. If the error continues, request service.

BE2 and 8E2 may be a jammed button

On some models BE2 (8E2) is a jammed button error instead. Check the user manual for your model to tell which. For a jammed button, power off the washer and touch every button individually, working each back and forth to reach all edges before releasing. If a button is damaged or the code returns after power-up, request service.

Levant listing: overcurrent

Samsung’s Levant page lists 8E as an overcurrent error. Reset the washer at the mains for 30 seconds, and contact support if it persists.
