--- title: "Samsung washer: Other light combinations" description: "Samsung washer other light combinations — samsung washer: Other light combinations: samsung washer — reported by blinking lights rather than by a code." url: "https://samsungmiami.support/error-codes/washer-lights-other/" date_modified: "2026-09-04" Appliance type: "Washers" --- # Samsung washer: Other light combinations ### What the appliance is actually reporting Samsung publishes a short list of further combinations — hot with cold or Eco Warm for the motor, warm alone for communication, hot with tap cold or cool for the Mems sensor, hot with medium or mid for the heater — and says plainly that the list is not complete, because the machines differ. Where the combination is not published, the honest answer is that the machine is reporting something in its sensors or electronics and that a measurement is what identifies it. ### Where this appears, and why not to clear it On the cycle lights, on a machine with no digital display. Samsung publishes what each combination means, and on those models the combination is the entire diagnosis — it disappears the moment the power is cut. Write it down or photograph the panel before switching anything off. Samsung adds one caution of its own and it saves service calls: on some models the lights blink to show cycle status, so treat it as an error only if the machine is misbehaving as well. ### Which machines this one applies to Models with no digital display, which report by blinking their cycle lights. Samsung itself flags that several of its codes mean two different things depending on the model — *dC*, *3E* and *BE2* on washers, and *1E* on dishwashers — so the model number is what settles which reading applies to your machine. It also publishes nothing at all for freezers, ice makers and range hoods, which is why those appliances have symptom pages here and no code pages. ### What to do about it - Write down exactly which lights are blinking before you switch anything off. On these models that is the entire diagnosis and it disappears when the power does. - Power the washer off for two to three minutes, power it back on and restart the cycle. - If the same combination returns and the machine is still misbehaving, it needs measuring. - If the machine is working normally, Samsung’s own advice is that blinking lights alone are not necessarily an error. ### 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.
