The Ed sign on the washing machine alerts the owner to problems with the door. Often the cause of the error is not in the breakdown of equipment, but in carelessness when using the washer and inaccurate handling of the door.
To establish the operation of the washing machine is usually obtained independently.
Signs of a problem
The Ed code is rarely seen on washing machines. This designation was used in vehicles manufactured before 2008. In the modern line, the Ed error on the Samsung washing machine has been replaced with the De symbols.
The code can be supplemented with numbers, a complete list of possible errors:
- Of;
- De1;
- De2.
Some Samsung models use error codes with an additional letter “c”:
- Dc;
- Dc1;
- DC2.
On some Samsung washers, instead of fault codes, a full verbal designation is used – door error or just door.
In machines that are not equipped with a display, similar failures are signaled by the flashing of diodes and the illumination of all water temperature indicator lights at once.
What to do if the washing machine fails and shows one of the symbols shown on the display – let’s try to explain.
Possible problems with Ed
When Ed is on the Samsung washing machine display, a number of difficulties may arise with the technique:
- the hatch cannot be closed;
- if the unit gives an Ed error at the end of the wash, the door cannot be unlocked;
- the washing machine closes, but the lock does not work.
Depending on the behavior of the washing machine, the problem may be minimal or require professional repair.
How to identify a fault
If the Samsung technician shows an Ed error during washing, perform a simple diagnosis before calling the wizard.
Basic check
For the initial check of equipment:
- make sure the washing machine is tightly closed;
- check if there is a foreign object blocking the hatch between the door and the body of the Samsung equipment.
In both cases, the answer to the question “how to fix the breakdown” is obvious – just remove the blocking element and slam the hatch tightly. If a solution to the problem is not found, check for more complex causes of problems.
Checking the electronics unit
Ed on the scoreboard can also mean problems with the electronic unit of the Samsung washing machine. Try to force the washer to “reboot” by turning it off for a few minutes from the outlet. If this method did not help to remove the error, the problem is in the door lock mechanism.
The table will help you figure out what the De error means in Samsung technology and how to fix the problem.
| Malfunction | Possible reasons | What to do |
The hatch is not blocked, Ed or an analogue was displayed on the Samsung technology. Can’t open the door after washing. | Sunroof mechanism failure. | You can not do without a new electronic lock and call a specialist. |
| Ed is displayed at the start of the wash. | Malfunction of the microcircuit that regulates the operation of the unit – the display module. | What the error means, the master will accurately determine. Often it is enough to repair the unit and solder the resistors. If the processor is burned out or the module is permanently damaged, a replacement part will be required. |
| The hatch does not slam shut: the hole in the body does not match the lock. | The door of the Samsung washing machine is worn out or mechanically damaged. | It is necessary to change the door (sometimes updating the hinges is enough). |
| When the door is closed, there is no click, it does not physically come out to slam the hatch. | Problem with the main lock. | The part needs to be repaired or replaced. |
| Error reset occurs, but after a while the Samsung unit again displays the Ed indicator. | Broken or worn wiring between the lock and the electronic module | It will help to replace the loop or restore the conductivity of the current (twisting the wires). |
Minor physical problems in the operation of Samsung equipment can be fixed independently. For complex electronics repairs, it is better to involve a specialist.
