Samsung lists OE and 0E as overflow warnings. This page uses Samsung U.S. guidance. Match the full display and model before choosing a repair.
Identify the display
Stop the cycle and record the water state from a safe position. If water is escaping, stay away from wet electrical controls and arrange help. Do not repeatedly restart a washer to see whether it overfills again.
Choose the relevant observation
- Water is still entering unexpectedly: close an accessible supply valve only if safe and obtain service.
- Filling has stopped: keep the warning and observations for the applicable assessment.
- The brand or full code is different: do not transfer this Samsung meaning. LG OE is a different reference.
Decide what to do next
Preserve the distinction between the reported condition and its cause. A valve or level-sensing part needs separate evidence before replacement.
