Samsung Washing Machine 9C1 / 9C2 / PF / 2E / 9E1 / 9E2 / UC / 19C1 / 19C2 error code

Difficulty: Easy · Cost: $0 · Duration: 5m

These codes mean your Samsung washing machine detected an irregularity in the electrical current being supplied, or that power was interrupted during a cycle. A PF code specifically means power failed — either from an outage, the washer being unplugged, or a tripped circuit breaker. Models used outside their country of origin may also display these codes as power grid specifications differ between countries. Confirming the washer is on its own dedicated circuit resolves most cases.

Common causes

  • Power outage or interruption occurred while the washer was running
  • Washer was accidentally unplugged during a cycle
  • Circuit breaker tripped during operation
  • Washer is sharing a circuit with other appliances causing voltage irregularities
  • Extension cord is being used instead of a direct wall connection
  • Washer is being used in a country other than where it was sold

How to fix it

  1. 1

    Make sure the washer is connected directly to a dedicated wall outlet — do not use an extension cord

  2. 2

    Check that the washer is on its own circuit and not sharing with other high-powered appliances

  3. 3

    If the power went out reset the circuit breaker and restart the cycle

  4. 4

    If the code continues arrange professional service
