Error codebE / 6E

Quick answer
bE and 6E are listed as a motor speed sensor error on Samsung washers, with a basic restart as the first step.
Model compatibility: Samsung reuses codes across series and model years, so bE / 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
Motor speed sensor error.
On a Samsung washer, bE and 6E stand for a motor speed sensor error. Samsung does not limit the listing to one model or series. Note the lowercase b: it is not the same as the button codes that start with bE.
What to do first
Turn the machine off, leave it for 2 to 3 minutes, then turn it on and begin the cycle once more. If bE or 6E persists, request service.
Call (310) 896-4231 if the sensor code comes back after the restart. Samsung washer repair in Los Angeles is outlined on the washer repair page. Please have the code, the model number and the restart steps you took available.
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.
