Samsung Washing Machine Error Code E2: Jammed button error
Applies to Samsung washing machines that show E2 or bE2, 6E2 on the display.
A button on the control panel is detected as stuck or continuously pressed.
What this code means
The panel reads one button as permanently on, so the washer refuses to run. It is usually a physically stuck button rather than an electronic failure.
The manufacturer's checks, in order
- Power the washer off.
- Individually touch every button on the panel, working each one back and forth to reach all its edges before releasing it.
- Power the washer back on and run a cycle.
If any button is damaged, or the code returns after powering on, Samsung says to request service.
