Your actions when the error code 5E appears on the monitor of the washing machine Samsung

Drainage system problems may be caused by a number of reasons, some of which can be corrected independently without involving specialists. First of all, it is necessary to forcefully drain the water in accordance with the instructions and free the drum from the laundry. Then it is necessary to perform the following actions.
- Checking the control module
It is necessary to reset the electronic controller of the Samsung washing machineby switching it off from the mains for 10-15 minutes. If there was an accidental failure of the control module, after switching on, operation will resume normally.
- Checking the contacts of the drain pump
If the washing machine has been exposed to external influences - moved or transported, it is likely that between the drain pump and electronic controller wires connection is broken and it may be enough to correct them by pressing tightly at the point of contact.
- Checking the Drain Hose
The drain hose in the washing machine should not have kinks. It is necessary to install it So that they can not arise during operation. This is especially true for long hoses, they are more difficult to fasten rigidly in the correct position. Also the hose should be checked for blockages.
- Checking the drain filter
To remove a possible clog, you need to flush the drain filter. It is located in the hatch, located usually in the lower right corner on the front of the washing machine. The filter is unscrewed counterclockwise and then removed. In this case, a small amount of water flows out of the formed hole, this is normal.
- Checking the place of connection to the sewer
It is necessary to check and flush the siphon, through which the drain hose is connected to the sewer system. Perhaps the problem lies in the sewer itself. This can be checked by disconnecting the drain hose from it and directing it into a container such as a bathtub, basin, etc. If when you turn on the machine it will work and drain water, then it is working and you need to clean the sewer.
