Updated
Short answer
What OE (OC, 0E) means
In Samsung's words, condensed: there is too much water in the washer (an overflow error) (Samsung).
What Samsung says to try
- Samsung's guide for no-drain and overflow errors: check the washer is level, the drain hose position and condition, and (front-loaders) the pump filter.
- Turn the washer back on and start a cycle to test.
Unplug the appliance or switch off its breaker before reaching into any part of it. Codes and steps vary by model, so check your manual too.
If the code comes back
If it repeats with correct drainage, the water inlet valve and the water level sensing are the next things a technician checks. A washer water inlet valve runs $120 to $250. (Angi, washing machine repair cost (updated Jul 31, 2026))
