Quick answer
6E is listed as a water heater fault on one Samsung table. The advice is to contact support.
Model compatibility: Samsung reuses codes across series and model years, so 6E 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
Water heater not functioning (Levant page; conflicts with 6E jammed button on US models).
Samsung’s Levant code table lists 6E as water heater not functioning. That page covers current and legacy codes, and meanings may differ by model. On US models 6E is treated as a jammed button code instead, so the same display can mean two different things.
What Samsung says to do
For 6E on the Levant table, the instruction is simply to contact Samsung support.
Related codes
Other 6-series codes are 6C6 for the detergent level sensor and 6C7 for the softener level sensor on combo units. For temperature of the supply water, see 4E1 and 4Ed.
