First of all check your drain filter (at the bottom on the left side) to make sure it’s not clogged.
You might need to drain water from the drum manually first and only then open the drain filter.
If you hear kinda rattling noise coming from the pump, that’s mean drain pump coming to the end, because drain motor impeller coming off from the motor shaft and slipping off.
In this case, only one solution is to change the drain pump.

Any idea what JO (or J0) 12 error is? Previously got AE6 and replaced the main control board but not i get this new error. Thanks.
Dont know, sorry
I just got the same thing on our Samsung front loader – J0 12 Called Samsung and they have no info it is not listed on their end. Sending service.
Our washer has a 3E error code that comes up. Under it it says A motor problem. too many suds are detected during the wash session. the unit if put on hold until the amount of suds have been reduced. The unti will then go back to operating. when it finishes washing the’End’ and ‘suds’ codes will blink in turn. We did some googling and 3E says that the halls sensor could be the culprite so we replaced that but it didn’t make a difference. we try any wash cycle and it will start, it will drain water out, it will pump in water, start to aggitate the cycle and then just stop. It will sit for a few minutes then get the error code. The motor seems to work becuase it does aggitate and the drum moves easily and freely. We have tried flushing a ton of water through the drum as the pump will pump out.
We are wondering if its the water level pressure sensor? Or can we check something else for detergent build up?

Hi
Help!!!
Samsung ecobubble WF80F5E5U4X/EU turns off, can get it restarted by turning off and leaving, but turns off shortly afterwards. Managed to get the error code as 29- 1F, if flash on the screen from 29- followed by – 1F.
Call Samsung – not a great experience!
Any idea what the code is – main board?
Thanks
Mike
I think so, or wiring issues between UI board and main control board
Hi what seems to be the problem yesterday my automatic samsung washing machine works normal and just the next day there is no lights on touch screen
Did you check power breaker? If there is power but no lights, 1) Power button failed 2) Control board failed
Our top load activewash machine stopped in the middle of a cycle. I couldn’t get it to do anything. So I powered it off and now it won’t come on at all or unlock the lid to get laundry out. HELP!!!!!
If machine getting power but not powering up, it is the main control board issue
Hi Eugene
I have replaced the inter door lock on a samsung washing machine wf431abp after it was displaying the error code de1, however the code still shows.
On the original interlock I opened it up and everything looks OK.
I have tested it on a multi meter against the new part and the readings are the same.
I have also checked for damaged or burnt wires at the door lock end and they look fine.
What else shall I look for ?
Many thanks
Did you check the continuity of wires coming from the control board to the lock? If everything ok, one thing left.. Control board
Thanks Engene
I will check and keep you posted
8C error code still showing after replacing hall sensor and vibration sensor. What else could it be? Samsung MODEL WA52J8060AW/A2
Wiring to the vibration or hall sensor?
My Samsung washing machine shows a t2E error. What could be the problem?
I know tE2 error code (temperature sensor problem), but not t2E
Sounds like you know your stuff. I have a Samsung VRT Model #WF210AMW/XAA. It doesn’t fill with enough water. I checked inlet lines, inlet valves for continuity and blew through water level sensor hose. Is there a way to test water level sensor or just replace it
