Samsung Washer ND Error Code: What It Means & What to Check
Q: What does the Samsung washer ND error code mean?
A: On many Samsung washers, ND means the washer is having a no-drain or drain problem.
What This Code Usually Means
ND is one of Samsung’s drain-family codes. It typically appears when water is not leaving the tub as expected during the drain portion of the cycle.
What You May Notice
- Standing water in the tub
- Cycle stops before spin finishes
- Door may stay locked
Safety First
Be careful if the washer recently used hot water. Drain access areas may release hot water.
Quick Checks You Can Try
- Clean the filter if your model has one.
- Check the drain hose for clogs or kinks.
- Make sure the hose height and standpipe setup look correct.
- Run a drain or spin cycle after clearing blockage.
Most Common Causes
- Clogged filter
- Blocked or kinked hose
- Drain pump obstruction
- Drain pump issue
