Plain language
What this code means
Hardware overcurrent error.
On Samsung washers, 9C7 means a hardware overcurrent error. Samsung gives no dedicated steps for it and says the general ones apply to every generation: a short power-off followed by a new cycle.
Try this
Leave the washer unpowered for 2 to 3 minutes, then turn power back on and begin the cycle again. Request service if the error continues.
Codes that may be confused with it
9C8 is the software overcurrent error, a close cousin. AE3 is a different kind of fault, a DR Ready modem or communication error, and 9H1 is a power error.
