Error codeCb / C6
ApplianceWasher
Quick answer
Cb and C6 show while a Samsung washer recalibrates its weight detection. It runs 1 to 3 minutes and stops by itself.
Model compatibility: Samsung reuses codes across series and model years, so Cb / C6 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
Calibration mode: the washer recalibrates weight detection and stops by itself.
Cb or C6 on a Samsung washer is not a fault. It is Calibration mode, which recalibrates the weight detection of the washer. Weight detection adjusts the amount of water used per cycle, and calibration is typically a step at the very end of installation. The listing applies to all washers.
What happens and what to do
Calibration mode rotates the tub or drum back and forth for 1 to 3 minutes and then ends by itself. It will not calibrate correctly unless the washer is empty. If something is inside, remove it and run Calibration mode again with the washer empty. Your user manual gives the instructions for running the mode.
If the code keeps returning on an empty washer, call (310) 896-4231 for Samsung washer repair in Los Angeles. See washer repair for more. Have the code and model number ready, and say that you ran the mode empty.
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.
