I can't access my word docs and in trying to fix it in the control panel I get an error code 0x80070070. What does this mean and how do I fix it?

How to fix a Samsung Washer nd washer error code. You can make this repair your self and in most cases without parts.
Let me explain what the nd on a Samsung washer control panel means exactly. The nd error code stands for No Drain.
When this washer error code comes up the washer will not spin either.

To fix this issue you will need to slide the unit forward to access the pump if there is no access panel on the lower front.
If the clean out access panel is on the lower front bail the water from the washer and twist the filter head counter-clockwise.
If the front panel does not have the access panel the washer will need to be slide forward.
With the washer pulled out the back access panel can be removed. With the panel removed, the drain pump will be visible.
Remove the two hoses on the pump followed by the two 7/16 bolts that mount the pump down. With the pump off, you can now remove the debris inside.

Put the washer back together and test for proper operation.
If the error code comes back this means that the pump is clogged again or the pump has failed and would need to be replaced

The F70 and F71 error codes on this model of washer indicates a communication problem between the user interface control board and the central control unit (main control board). These error codes can sometimes be caused by a power surge or glitch through the electrical lines. Try unplugging the washer to completely disconnect electrical power. Wait 1 minute and then plug the washer back in to the see if the fault code clears. If it does, then the washer may work normally.

If the code reappears, then you could have a wire harness connection problem, a failed user interface control board or a failed central control unit. I recommend calling a service technician to properly diagnose and repair this type of problem so that the correct component can be replaced.


Be sure your unit is plugged into a 3 prong grounded outlet as well.


F71 is a "heatbeat failure" which means that your front interface control board is shorted and will need to be replaced. it's actually fairly easy to replace and can definitely be done by yourself. To access the part, just pull the unit forward and remove the 3 screws coming in from the back of the top panel. Remove the top panel by pulling it back, up, and off. Then remove all the screws going into the top of the control panel. Remove the dispenser drawer and remove the screws coming in through the dispenser. Remove the screws coming from the inside of the dryer going forward into the control panel, then remove the control panel (it's just clipped in on the bottom. After that you can disconnect the wire harnesses to the front interface control board and replace that part.

F11 and FH are two completely different error codes. "F11" is a Serial Communications error between the Central Control Unit (CCU), the Motor Control Unit (MCU) and/or door latch. The "FH" error is a No Water Detect error code that means the CCU is not detecting ANY water or INSUFFICIENT water during the fill cycle. The following two links explain each error code and some things to look for to diagnose your problem:

Read through the information provided and let me know if you have any questions. I hope this helps you.


NOTE: There is a technical data sheet inside the washer that explains all diagnostics procedures, troubleshooting tips, error code explanations and wiring diagrams. To access, remove the lower toe panel under the door by locating and removing the screws under the bottom front edge. With the screws removed, the panel will drop down, then come off. You can prop the two front feet of the washer up for better access to the panel screws (a 2x4 works well for this). The tech sheet should be located directly behind the panel, or affixed to one of the cabinet interior walls. I hope this information is helpful.

If your appliance is newer than 1996 F0 error code is a stuck key pad .
To verify turn off power and access the control panel and remove the ribbon connector that goes from key pad to control board .
Now restore power.
If the F0 code goes away you'll have to replace the key pad .
If it stays it means the control board is bad.

Your washer needs to be serviced by a professional. That error code means there is a communication error between the Control Unit and the EEPROM; the CCU needs to be replaced. Check to see if your product is still under warranty.

Refer to page 2 of this service manual:

https://www.servicematters.com/docs/wiring/Tech%20Sheet%20-%208540259.pdf

Go to http://www.servicematters.com/docs/wiring/Tech%20Sheet%20-%208567036.pdf

It shows what the codes mean. It's been fixed by people (when machines are out of warranty!) by taking the control panel, and reseating wires on it and the motor.

You are by no means the only having the problem:
