Samsung Washing Machine Error Code PC
Call a professional
What this code means
PC: Clutch position not detected (top-load models)
On top-load models with a clutch motor, the washer cannot confirm the clutch has moved to the right position for washing or spinning.
Also shown as: PE
Common causes
- Clutch motor failure
- Loose clutch connector
- Control board fault
What to check, in order
- Restart the machine once after switching the power off for a minute.
- If the code returns, the clutch motor circuit needs professional testing; there is no user adjustment for it.
Safety first. Switch the machine off and unplug it before cleaning filters or moving hoses. Expect water to come out when you open a pump filter; keep a tray and towel ready. If you are not comfortable with any step, stop and call a technician.
