How to Fix Samsung Washer Error E1

Error Code: E1 Difficulty: Moderate

Problem: The machine is not filling with water fast enough. Check for kinked hoses or clogged screens on the water inlet valves. If water pressure is good, the valve itself may be broken.

How to Fix E1 Error

• UNPLUG washer immediately. Remove standing water under unit with towels or wet/dry vacuum.
• Tilt washer forward carefully (with assistance) to access base pan. Locate moisture sensor pad under tub.
• Dry sensor pad thoroughly with lint-free cloth. Allow 60 minutes air drying time.
• Inspect door bellow gasket for tears, cracks, or mold buildup. Stretch gasket to check entire circumference.
• If bellow damaged, replace using OEM part DC64-00110A: remove spring clamp, extract old bellow, install new bellow ensuring lip seats fully in tub groove, secure with new clamp.
• If bellow intact, check tub weld seams, pump housing, and hose connections for leaks. Tighten loose clamps.
• If sensor remains triggered after drying and leak repair, replace moisture sensor using OEM part DC34-00060A.
• Reassemble. Run fill/drain test cycle with panels off to confirm no leaks before final reassembly.
