Samsung washer code OE: too much water (overflow)

What it means

The washer has detected more water inside than it should have.

On models without a display, Samsung signals this with: Tap Cold, Cool, Medium or Mid light blinking.

What to try

Unplug the washer before any step beyond a quick look, and turn the water off before touching hoses.

1. Stop the cycle and check the floor for water.
2. Make sure the drain hose is placed correctly and not blocked, since a drain problem can leave water sitting in the tub.
3. Turn the washer off for 2 to 3 minutes, then start a drain or rinse and spin cycle.
