Samsung Washing Machine Error Code UC
DIY checks first
What this code means
UC: Power supply voltage problem
The washer detected voltage that is too high, too low, or unstable, and stopped to protect its electronics. The problem is usually with the supply, not the washer.
Also shown as: 9C1, 9E1
Common causes
- Voltage fluctuation or brownout
- Washer plugged into an unstable circuit or extension lead
- Faulty wall outlet
What to check, in order
- Unplug the washer, wait a few minutes, and plug it directly into a wall outlet.
- Avoid running the washer during storms or known power problems.
- If the code appears often with no supply issues at home, the board's voltage sensing may be faulty.
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.
