Fault Indication - "Over Flow"

TIP 1: Most error codes that display are related to installation, maintenance, and general use such as washer not being level, not cleaning the debris filter, not cleaning the inlet water supply mesh filters, and using too much detergent.
TIP 2: If your Samsung washer will not start, be sure the Delay Start function has not been activated. When the Delay Start is in use the display will show a number followed by an H (1H, 2H, 3H). The Delay Start icon will be illuminated. (The Delay Start Icon looks like a stopwatch)

SAMSUNG WASHER FAULT CODE: nd
SAMSUNG WASHER ERROR DEFINITION = no drain
If "nd" is showing on the display, it is an indication of a no drain condition.
HOW TO REPAIR/CLEAR ERROR?: This is caused by the debris filter being clogged or the drain hose installed improperly. Make sure the drain hose is not pushed too far into the drain/stand pipe. A unit that is not level, unbalanced, or overloaded may not drain properly also. Drain pump could be faulty. (nd error code repair here)

SAMSUNG WASHER FAULT CODE: nF
SAMSUNG WASHER ERROR DEFINITION = washer not getting enough water
If the machine is not getting enough water, a "no fill" (nF) error code will be displayed after 16 minutes of trying to fill. This does not mean there is a defect in the unit.

The E20 error code indicates a problem with water drainage. Inspect the drainage hose for kinks that could impede the drainage flow. This frequently occurs when the machine is pushed up against the wall without allowing room for the hoses. If there are no kinks, the hose is probably clogged. Carefully detach the hose from the machine, and use a garden hose to force water through it. If the water doesn't pass through, use a plumber's snake to clear the clog. If there is no clog, inspect the drain pump for clogs. Unplug the machine, and open the small rectangular door towards the bottom of the front of the machine. Drain the pump through the emptying hose into a container until the water flow stops, and rotate the pump impeller to clear any foreign objects. Close the pump and restart the cycle. If the problem persists, contact a service center.

F02 error is related to drain pump block.If the drain pump gets blocked or the drain hose is blocked the error comes up,this is indication of cleaning the drain pump and drain hose.If the drain pump and drain hose checked ok then its faulty drain pump,its not draining the water so the error f-02 is showing up. error F-02 is a slow drain problem. Remove the wide tapering pipe from the drum to the pump. Inside there is a non return ball valve. Clean this and see if that helps. Take the front bottom panel off and open the drain trap,and see if there is any thing got stuck up,like coins,nails,socks or any small cloth etc etc.--------------While removing the drain pump and drain hose for cleaning,please keep thick towel with you.As you disconnect the drain pump from its connection,lot of water will flow towards you,if your machine is filled with water.So keeping this towel with you will help to control this water flow towards you.This should help.Thanks.Helpmech.

Make sure drain hose from dishwasher is higher than water inlet if not it will do just like a washing machine if the drain hose is lower than water level it will empty while filling.

you may have an inefficient or partially blocked water pump remove drain hose and check if there is an obstruction if so clear it and re attach hose try draining machine listen to water flow if strong ok if not you still have an obstruction or faulty pump if no flow at all pump or control failed on final drain hope this assist you

hi, to empty water manualy, lift the hose from the stand pipe, keep it above the water level, place a bowl on the floor and lower the hose into it, the water should drain out, to stop the water flow lift the hose above the drum and empty bowl, continue until empty, hope this help, thanks for using fixya

ck to see if fill hoses are connected correctly and you have good water flow through BOTH hoses to washer connection..if control senses slow fill it will f20..do not try to use cold water onlyauto temp will try to use hot to adj prest temps and will fault if no water flow detected if ok ckd screens in washer end to be sure they are clean ..also ck to see if drain hose is proper height and not in stand pipe too tight ..water may be siphoning out and washer will not fill in allowed time

I solved this problem this morning, after several months with intermittent "water outlet fault" error messages.

Our pin trap was cleared many times over the months. The propellor turned freely. However, the problem persisted.
So I unplugged the machine, removed the back panel (8 or so hex screws) and located the point where the drainage hose meets the water draining pump. I then separated the hose from the pump and found 2 United States 10-cent pieces lodged together with gunk that effectively blocked the drainage hose. 10-cent pieces ("dimes") are the perfect diameter to get stuck there and not appear in the pin trap where you could easily see and remove them.

Three loads later, the machine is working according to spec. Hope this helps.

problem may be to with using very hot water which has dislodged sludge. fault may cure itself.at top of machine is a usually round device with 3 to 7 wires to it depending on type used. also connected is a small diameter hose. trace this hose to bottom of machine and it is connected into an air chamber. check air chamber is not clogged with sludge and if it is, clean it. remove small diameter hose and check not clogged as well and that there are no splits with it. there is really no need to clean appliance at all unless you are using liquid detergent which over time leaves a smell like drains. if you are, recommmend using powder
