Power supply voltage error. What it means, which models show it, and how to clear it, easiest fix first.

SamsungAll Samsung washer codes

9C1
Moderate DIY

The washer is getting unstable or out-of-range electricity, such as a supply voltage that is too low. Extension cords, shared circuits, brownouts, or a washer built for another country's voltage are common causes. PF simply means power was cut during a cycle, for example by unplugging or a tripped breaker.

Also shown as

Also shown as 9C2, 9E1, 9E2, UC, 19C1, 19C2, PF, 2E, or 3E on some models. On other models 3E means a motor error and 2E an internal control board fault, so check your manual. 9C6, 9C7, and 9C8 are separate circuit faults that need service.

Difficulty

Start with the safe checks below; a worn part may need replacing.

Safety first: unplug the washer (or switch off its breaker) before touching filters, hoses or panels. If you smell burning or gas, or see water near the outlet, stop and call a professional.

How to fix Samsung 9C1

  1. Plug directly into the wall

    Unplug any extension cord or power strip and plug the washer straight into a properly grounded outlet.

  2. Give it a dedicated circuit

    Make sure the washer is not sharing a circuit with other heavy appliances such as a dryer, space heater, or freezer. If you are not sure, a licensed electrician can check.

  3. Reset the power

    Turn the washer off, then unplug it or switch off its circuit breaker for about 2 to 3 minutes. Restore power and start a new cycle. A one-time glitch often clears this way, so note whether the code comes back.

When to call a technician

If the code continues with the washer on its own outlet and circuit, call a technician or electrician to check the outlet voltage and the washer's control board.
