Error code9E1

Quick answer
9E1 is a power error (legacy PH1). A 30 second mains reset is Samsung's first step.
Model compatibility: Samsung reuses codes across series and model years, so 9E1 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
Power error (legacy PH1).
9E1 is listed on Samsung’s Levant page as a power error, with PH1 as the legacy code. That page mixes current and legacy codes and meanings can differ by model.
Reset first
Switch the washer off at the mains, wait 30 seconds, switch it on and start a new programme. If it persists, contact support.
Important safety warning. Do not attempt repairs involving electrical components, gas, water lines, refrigerant or sealed systems. Unplug the appliance if it is safe to reach the outlet, and leave internal diagnostics to a qualified technician.
