How to Calibrate Your Samsung Washing Machine
If your Samsung washing machine is vibrating excessively, showing an unbalanced load error, or failing to spin correctly, a calibration cycle can often resolve the issue. This process resets the internal sensors to accurately detect the weight of your laundry.
Step-by-Step Calibration Mode
- Empty the drum completely and ensure the washing machine is powered on.
- For Top-Load Models: Press and hold the 'Temp.' and 'Delay End' buttons simultaneously for 3 seconds until 'Cb' appears on the display.
- For Front-Load Models: Press and hold the 'Temp.' and 'Spin' buttons simultaneously for 3 seconds until 'Cb' appears on the display.
- Press the 'Start/Pause' button to begin the calibration process, which usually takes 1 to 3 minutes.
- The drum will rotate back and forth, and the machine will power off automatically once the calibration is complete.
Safe Steps to Try Before Calling a Technician
- Check that all four leveling feet are firmly touching the floor and the lock nuts are tightened.
- Ensure the machine is placed on a solid, level surface; avoid placing it on thick carpets or uneven tiles.
- Verify that the laundry load is not overloaded, as this prevents the sensors from reading the weight correctly.
Always disconnect the power plug before inspecting the underside of the machine or moving it to avoid the risk of electrical shock.

Frequently Asked Questions
How often should I calibrate my Samsung washing machine?
You only need to calibrate the machine after it has been moved to a new location, after a major repair, or if you notice persistent vibration or balance errors.
What does the 'Cb' code mean on my display?
The 'Cb' code indicates that the machine is in Calibration Mode, which is a standard diagnostic cycle used to calibrate the weight sensors.
Can I put clothes in the drum during calibration?
No, the drum must be completely empty. Any items left inside will interfere with the sensor readings and result in an inaccurate calibration.
What if the calibration cycle fails to fix the vibration?
If the vibration persists, the issue may be related to worn-out suspension rods or shock absorbers, which require professional inspection.
