Possible causes:

• Faulty water inlet valve: 
  • The valve responsible for controlling water flow could be malfunctioning, causing it to stay open and continuously fill the tub, leading to overflow.
• High water pressure: 
  • If the water pressure coming into your home is unusually high, it could overwhelm the machine's ability to regulate the water flow and cause an overflow.
• Blocked drain hose: 
  • While primarily associated with drainage issues, a blockage in the drain hose can also prevent water from properly exiting the tub, leading to an overflow if the water inlet valve continues to fill.
• Faulty water level sensor: 
  • A malfunctioning sensor might misinterpret the actual water level in the tub, allowing the machine to keep filling even when it's already full, eventually causing an overflow.
• Internal issue: 
  • In rare cases, internal leaks or faulty components within the machine could be causing the overflow problem.

Troubleshooting steps for the OE Error Code

1. Turn off and unplug the washing machine: 
   • Always prioritize safety before attempting any troubleshooting.
2. Check the water supply: 
   • Turn off the water supply to the machine at the source (usually a valve behind the machine).
3. Disconnect the inlet hoses: 
   • Disconnect the hot and cold water inlet hoses from the back of the machine and check for any visible leaks or damage.
4. Inspect the drain hose: 
   • Disconnect the drain hose from the drain and check for blockages or kinks. Remove any debris you find and straighten the hose if necessary.
5. Consult your user manual: 
   • Your manual might have specific instructions for troubleshooting the OE error code for your particular model. It might also offer guidance on checking the water inlet valve and water level sensor.
6. Reset the machine: 
   • Sometimes, a simple reset can resolve temporary glitches. Turn off the machine, unplug it for a few minutes, and then plug it back in and restart the washing cycle.
7. Contact Samsung support: 
   • If the above steps don't resolve the issue, contact Samsung support for further assistance or technician recommendations. They can help diagnose the problem based on your model and provide specific guidance, including checking the water inlet valve and water level sensor if necessary.

Additional tips:

• Avoid overloading the washing machine, as this can put extra strain on the water supply system and potentially contribute to an overflow.
• Use the appropriate amount of detergent for your laundry load, as excessive suds can interfere with the water level sensor's readings.
• Regularly clean the drain filter to prevent blockages that could contribute to drainage issues and indirectly lead to overflows.
• Don't attempt to disassemble or repair the washing machine yourself unless you have the necessary expertise, especially when dealing with electrical components like the water inlet valve.

Remember, the exact cause and troubleshooting steps might vary depending on your specific Samsung washing machine model. Consulting your user manual or contacting Samsung support can provide the most accurate information and guidance for your situation.

I hope this explanation helps you understand the OE error code and resolve the overflow issue with your Samsung washing machine!
