# Samsung washer error code Cb

### What Cb means on this make

Not an error at all. Calibration is how the washer learns what an empty drum weighs so it can judge how much water a load needs, and it is normally run once at the end of installation. The drum turns back and forth for a couple of minutes and it stops by itself. There is one thing that ruins it: anything left inside. A calibration run with laundry in the drum teaches the machine the wrong number, and every load afterwards gets the wrong amount of water.

### The other ways Samsung prints this one

Cb · C6

Samsung publishes a condition and then every string that can stand for it, and which one your machine shows depends on the panel it was built with. They mean the same thing and they are one page here, so whichever of them you searched for, this is the right page.

### Where this appears, and why not to clear it

On the appliance’s own display. Samsung reports errors two ways: machines with a digital display show a code, and the same machines without one blink their cycle lights instead. Both are published by the maker and both are on this site. Photograph what the panel shows before cutting the power — Samsung asks for this itself on its refrigerator and dishwasher pages, and it is the one thing that makes a first visit more useful. A code that has been reset is information a technician no longer has.

### What to do about it

- Let it finish; it stops on its own after one to three minutes.
- If anything was inside the drum, take it out and run the calibration again empty.
- If the machine has been using visibly wrong water levels since, calibrate it again with the drum empty.

### Where this goes next

The job this usually becomes is [diagnostic visit](/services/diagnostic-visit/), and that page carries a starting figure and the reasons that move it. If it turns out to be nothing — and on this make a real share of these are modes, reminders and settings rather than problems — the visit ends there and you pay the diagnostic and nothing else, or call [(305) 506-1256](tel:+13055061256) and describe what the panel is doing before booking anything.
