What to do to make the FE error disappear on a Samsung typewriter

Sometimes the washing machine gives an FE error and refuses to dry the laundry – drying either does not occur, or the washing machine interrupts the process and shows the FE, FC codes on the display.

It is important here to figure out how to fix the problem on your own and make the machine work normally.

What does the error mean and why does it occur

The FE error in the Samsung washing machine indicates a malfunction in the drying fan. It does not rotate, as a result of which the drying of things stops or simply does not start, and the FE error is on the display.

It happens only for those Samsung SM models that are equipped with a drying option.

Often the FE fault code cannot be resolved on your own – it is better to entrust this to a professional craftsman who knows what to do.

But still, you can try to take some actions that will allow you to return the machine to a working state. This is possible only with a short-term failure of the washing machine self-diagnosis system, when there is no problem at all.

How to fix the error yourself

If FE is displayed on the display of the washing machine after washing, when drying has begun, then the easiest thing to do is to “reboot” the washer:

  • Turn off the washing machine with the on / off button;
  • Remove the plug from the socket;
  • Wait for the washing machine to “rest” for a few minutes;
  • Turn on the washer again and start the drying process.

Here’s how to fix the problem and remove the FE error if it is associated only with a temporary failure in the self-diagnosis of the Samsung washer.

If the washing machine no longer shows the error, then everything is fine with it. But if such a solution to the problem did not lead to a solution to the problem, and the code is again displayed on the scoreboard, then professional help is needed.

Breakdowns requiring a call of the master

When an FE error appears on the display and drying stops, it is often necessary to call a wizard who can repair the washing machine. FE appears on the display if:

  1. There is a problem with the drying fan. Its impellers may jam due to debris, the starting capacitor may fail, the drive belt or fan motor windings may break. Repair depends on the type of damage. You will either need to replace the starting capacitor, or install a new belt, or clean the impeller from debris. When the fan motor burns out, this element must be completely replaced.
  2. Loss of communication in the fan circuit. This happens when the capacitor “left” the socket, the contact of the capacitor with the connector is loosened, there is a break in the fan wiring. Bad wires must be changed, and the jumped-out capacitor should be reinstalled.
  3. The control module is faulty. It may fail due to damage to the processor or radio elements. All damaged parts must be replaced with new ones.

Malfunctions in the drying fan – this is what the FE error means in the Samsung washing machine. Only a master can quickly troubleshoot problems, who will diagnose to determine the correct cause of the breakdown.
