Quick answer
PH1 and Plo are older power error codes equal to 9E1 and 9E2. Samsung's reset is 30 seconds at the mains.
Model compatibility: Samsung reuses codes across series and model years, so PH1, Plo 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
Legacy power error codes: PH1 equals 9E1 and Plo equals 9E2.
PH1 and Plo are legacy power error codes. PH1 is the older name for 9E1, and Plo is the older name for 9E2. They come from Samsung’s Levant support article, which lists current and legacy codes side by side, so this is an older series of washer and the meaning may differ by model.
Reset at the mains
Switch the washer off at the mains and wait 30 seconds. Switch it back on and start a new programme. If the problem persists, contact customer support.
If a power error keeps coming back on your older Samsung washer, call (310) 896-4231 to talk about washer repair in Los Angeles. Share the code shown, the model number and how the mains reset went.
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.
