The Ed sign on the washing machine informs the owner of problems with the door. Often the cause of the error is not in the breakdown of the equipment, but inattention when using the washer and inaccurate handling of the door.
It’s usually possible to set up a washing machine by yourself.
Symptoms of a Problem
The Ed code is rarely seen on washing machines. This designation was used in equipment manufactured before 2008. In the modern lineup, the Ed error on the Samsung washing machine has been replaced by De characters.
The code can be supplemented with numbers, a complete list of possible errors:
- De;
- De1;
- De2.
Some Samsung models use error codes with the additional letter “c”:
- Dc;
- Dc1;
- Dc2.
On some Samsung washing machines, instead of fault codes, a full verbal designation is used - door error or just door.
In cars that are not equipped with a display, blinking diodes and the illumination of all water temperature indicator lamps at once indicate similar failures.
What to do if the washing machine fails and displays one of the symbols shown on the display, we will try to explain.
Possible problems with Ed
When Ed is lit on the Samsung’s display panel, a number of difficulties can arise with the technique:
- the hatch cannot be closed;
- if the unit generates an error Ed at the end of washing, the door cannot be unlocked;
- the washing machine closes, but the lock does not work.
Depending on the behavior of the washing machine, the malfunction may be minimal, and requiring professional repair.
How to identify a malfunction
If Samsung launches an Ed error while washing, do a simple diagnosis before calling the wizard.
Basic check
For an initial inspection of equipment:
- make sure the washing machine is tightly closed;
- Check for a foreign object blocking the hatch between the door and the Samsung housing.
In both cases, the answer to the question “how to fix the breakdown” is obvious - just remove the blocking element and close the hatch tightly. If no solution is found, check for more complex causes.
Electronics Check
Ed on the scoreboard may also indicate problems with the electronic unit of the Samsung washing machine. Try to make the washer “reboot” by unplugging it from the wall for a few minutes. If this method also did not help to remove the error, the problem is with the door lock mechanism.
The table will help you figure out what De error means in the Samsung technique and how to fix the problem.
Malfunction | Possible reasons | What to do |
The hatch is not blocked, on the Samsung technique, Ed or an analogue was highlighted. After washing, the door cannot be opened. | Problems with the sunroof mechanism. | Do not do without a new electronic lock and call a specialist. |
Ed is shown at the start of the wash. | A malfunction in the microcircuit regulating the operation of the unit - the display module. | What the error means will be precisely determined by the master. Often enough block repair and soldering resistors. If the processor burns out or the module is irreparably damaged, a replacement part will be required. |
The hatch does not slam: the hole in the case does not match the lock. | The door of a Samsung washing machine is worn or mechanically damaged. | It is necessary to change the door (sometimes hinge updates are enough). |
When you close the door, you don’t hear a click, it does not physically come out to slam the hatch. | The problem with the main lock. | The part needs to be repaired or replaced. |
Errors are reset, but after a while, the Samsung unit again lights up the Ed indicator. | Broken or worn wiring between the lock and the electronic module | Replacing the loop or restoring the conductivity of the current (twisting the wires) will help. |
Minor physical problems in the operation of Samsung technology can be fixed independently. It is better to involve a specialist in a complex repair of electronics.
