Samsung Washing Machine Error Code bE: Motor speed sensor error

Applies to Samsung washing machines that show bE or 6E on the display.

Quick answer

The sensor that reports motor speed is faulty, so the washer cannot control or verify drum rotation.

What this code means

Without a trustworthy speed signal the drive shuts down. This is an internal sensor fault, not a loading problem.

The manufacturer's checks, in order

  1. Power the washer off for 2–3 minutes.
  2. Power it back on and restart the cycle.
Where you stop

If the error continues, Samsung says to request service.
