How to Fix SE Error in Samsung Washing Machine

Cleaning the Drain Filter

1. Locate the small access panel on the bottom front corner of your washing machine.
2. Place a shallow tray or towel on the floor to catch any residual water, then open the panel.
3. Slowly unscrew the circular drain filter cap counter-clockwise to let the water drain out.
4. Remove the filter completely and rinse it under running water to clear out lint, hair, or small objects.
5. Check the filter housing for any remaining debris before screwing the cap back on tightly.

Safe Steps to Try Before Calling a Technician

1. Check the drain hose located at the back of the machine to ensure it is not bent, kinked, or crushed against the wall.
2. Inspect the end of the drain hose where it connects to your standpipe or sink drain to ensure it is not clogged with sludge or debris.
3. Verify that the drain hose is not inserted too far into the standpipe, which can cause a siphon effect.
4. Perform a quick spin-only cycle to see if the machine clears the error after the filter has been cleaned.
