Samsung washers OC error

The washer has detected too much water in the tub.

OC

What this code can mean

Samsung classifies these codes as an overflow condition and directs the user to its water-level and drainage guidance.

Safe first checks

  1. 1
    Stop the cycle and do not open the door while the water level is high.
  2. 2
    Turn off the washer water supply if filling continues and the valves are safely accessible.
  3. 3
    Check the model manual for the documented overflow response without dismantling the appliance.

Possible causes

  • The washer water level is above the expected operating range.
  • The appliance may not be controlling filling or drainage normally.
Stop conditions
  • Stop using the washer if water is leaking, the valves cannot stop the inflow, or electrical areas may be wet.

Use Samsung support or an authorized servicer for an overflow code that does not clear after the water supply is controlled.
