Why Homeowners Choose Appliance Repair Pros for Samsung Repairs
Choosing a service provider for Samsung appliances is about finding someone who keeps up with technology. You need a technician who knows how to navigate a service menu on a touchscreen.
Brand Specific Diagnostics and Testing
Samsung appliances are packed with sensors. A “broken” fridge might just be a sensor thinking the door is open. We use brand appropriate testing methods, including accessing the hidden engineering modes on the display, to read real time data from the appliance. This allows us to pinpoint if a fan is actually failing or if the control board is just not sending power.
Experience Across Bespoke, Chef Collection, and Family Hub
A Samsung Bespoke fridge has different panel attachments and venting requirements than a standard unit. We have experience across all Samsung sub lines. We understand the precise calibration needed for Chef Collection ranges and the software quirks of the Family Hub tablets. This breadth of knowledge allows us to service every appliance in your kitchen or laundry room regardless of the specific series.
Respect for the Home and Clean Work Habits
We know that inviting a technician into your home requires trust. Our team is trained to work cleanly and efficiently. We use protective mats for tools and take care to prevent scratches on your floors or cabinetry. When the repair is complete, we clean up the work area so your home looks exactly as we found it.
Dependable Scheduling and Clear Communication
Waiting for a repair is stressful. We strive to offer convenient appointment times that fit your busy life in Tewksbury. We provide clear arrival windows and keep you informed throughout the process. You will never be left wondering when we are coming or what is happening with your appliance.

Common Problems We Fix in Samsung Appliances
Samsung appliances are innovative, but certain systems are prone to specific failures. We see a consistent set of issues with these models in local homes. Here is how we address them.
Samsung Refrigerator Ice Maker Not Working
This is the number one issue we see. The ice maker in the fridge compartment freezes over, forming a solid block of ice that jams the auger.
- Air leak in the ice room compartment
- Defrost heater failure in the ice maker
- Ice maker motor failure
- Water inlet valve leaking
How we diagnose it: We inspect the ice room for frost buildup, which indicates warm air is getting in. We check the seal of the ice box and test the defrost loop. Samsung has released specific service bulletins for this issue that we follow carefully.
What you can do right now: If you see frost, try to defrost the ice maker manually using the “Force Defrost” mode if you know how, or use a hair dryer on low heat carefully (do not melt the plastic).
Samsung Washer Not Spinning (UR/UB Code)
The washer tries to spin, slows down, and tries again repeatedly. It eventually throws a “Unbalanced Load” error.
- Worn suspension rods (Top loaders)
- Failed Hall sensor
- Loose drum nut
- Damaged shock absorbers (Front loaders)
How we diagnose it: On top loaders, we press down on the tub. If it bounces like a pogo stick, the suspension rods are shot. On front loaders, we check the rear rotor bolt and the shock absorbers.
What you can do right now: Redistribute the wet clothes evenly. If washing a heavy item, add a few towels to balance the weight.
Samsung Dryer Not Heating
The dryer runs, but the clothes come out wet. On Samsung dryers, the heating element coil is often the culprit.
- Heating element burnt out
- Thermal cutoff fuse blown
- Thermistor (temp sensor) failure
- Motor centrifugal switch failure
How we diagnose it: We test the heating assembly for continuity. Often, the heating coil sags and touches the housing, shorting out. We also check the ventilation, as a clog causes the fuse to blow.
What you can do right now: Check the circuit breaker. Sometimes one leg of the 240V power trips, leaving the motor running but no heat.
Samsung Dishwasher Not Draining (5C, 5E, or SC Code)
You see water standing in the bottom of the tub and an error code on the display.
- Clogged drain pump
- Drain hose kinked
- Failed drain pump motor
- Check valve stuck
How we diagnose it: We remove the drain pump cover and check for debris. Glass shards and popcorn kernels are common blockages. We also test the pump windings to ensure the motor is strong.
What you can do right now: Clean the filter at the bottom of the dishwasher. Check the connection to your garbage disposal.
Samsung Oven Temperature Issues
The oven says it is at 400 degrees, but your food is undercooked. Or, the broiler works but the bake element does not.
- Weak igniter (Gas)
- Hidden bake element burnout (Electric)
- Temperature sensor drift
- Relay board failure
How we diagnose it: We use a digital thermometer to track the actual temperature vs. the set temperature. We test the resistance of the sensor and inspect the igniter for proper amperage draw.
What you can do right now: Make sure the oven door is closing tightly. A loose hinge lets heat escape and confuses the thermostat.
Samsung Microwave SE or 5E Error
The microwave beeps and shows an SE or 5E code. This usually means a “Keypad Short” error.
- Touchpad membrane failure
- Control board failure
- Stuck button due to grease buildup
How we diagnose it: We disconnect the ribbon cable connecting the keypad to the control board. If the code clears, the keypad is bad. If it stays, the board is bad.
What you can do right now: Clean the keypad thoroughly with a degreaser. Sometimes surface grime causes a button to stick.
Our Samsung Repair Services by Appliance Type
We tailor our repair approach based on the specific type of Samsung appliance you own. Each category has unique engineering quirks that we are trained to address.
Samsung Refrigerator and Freezer Repair
Samsung fridges use Twin Cooling systems, meaning the fridge and freezer have separate airflow. This keeps food fresh but adds complexity. Issues with the defrost system in the fridge compartment (causing a noise like a card in bicycle spokes) are common.
- Loud buzzing fan noise (ice hitting fan)
- Ice maker jamming or freezing up
- FlexZone drawer not changing temp
- Water leaking under crisper drawers
- Display showing partial digits
- Compressor not running
How we approach the repair: For fan noise, we relocate the defrost sensor and install a secondary heater kit to prevent ice buildup. For ice makers, we often seal the ice room with food grade silicone to stop air leaks.
Samsung Washing Machine Repair
Samsung washers are high performance machines. Top loaders are prone to suspension wear, while front loaders can develop mold or drain pump issues. The “VRT” system is sensitive to any imbalance.
- Washer vibrating violently
- UR or UB unbalance codes
- nd or 5E drain errors
- Washer fills but won’t wash
- Door boot seal mold
- Lid lock broken
How we approach the repair: On top loaders, we replace all four suspension rods as a set to ensure balance. On front loaders, we check the spider arm on the back of the drum for corrosion.
Samsung Dryer Repair
Samsung dryers are efficient but sensitive to airflow restrictions. The heating element assembly is a common wear item. We also fix issues with the idler pulley, which keeps tension on the belt.
- Dryer runs but no heat
- Drum not spinning
- Loud rumbling noise
- Control panel buttons hard to press
- Vent blockage sensor error
- Timer jams
How we approach the repair: We disassemble the unit to access the heater box. We inspect the coils for breaks. We also check the idler pulley wheel, which can melt if the bearing seizes.
Samsung Dishwasher Repair
Samsung dishwashers are very quiet, but they rely on a complex “WaterWall” or rotary spray system. Leakage sensors in the base pan are very sensitive and will stop the machine if even a few drops of water are detected.
- LC or LE code (Leak Check)
- Dishes not clean
- Not draining
- Top rack slide rail broken
- Soap dispenser failure
How we approach the repair: If there is a leak code, we dry the sensor and run the machine with the panels off to find the source. It is often a loose hose clamp or a case brake seal.
Samsung Oven Range and Cooktop Repair
Samsung ranges offer features like dual doors and air fry modes. Common failures include the touch panel becoming unresponsive or gas burners failing to ignite due to spark module issues.
- Oven not heating
- Burners clicking nonstop
- Touch screen freezing
- Convection fan noise
- Hot surface light staying on
How we approach the repair: We test the main PCB relays. If the oven has a “divider” for dual cooking, we check the switch that detects if the divider is inserted.
Samsung Microwave Repair
Countertop and over the range models share similar components. Samsung microwaves are generally reliable, but door latches and high voltage diodes can fail.
- Microwave turns on but no heat
- Sparks in the cooking chamber
- Turntable jerking
- Display is dark
How we approach the repair: We discharge the capacitor for safety and test the magnetron. We also check the waveguide cover for food splatters that can cause arcing.
Brand Notes for Bespoke, Chef Collection, and Family Hub
Samsung categorizes its appliances into specific lines, each with different features and service needs. We are experts in all of them.
Samsung Bespoke Service and Repair
The Bespoke line allows for customizable door panels. These fridges often have the Beverage Center hidden inside the door.
- Door panel alignment issues
- Internal water pitcher not filling
- Flex zone temperature calibration
Why correct diagnosis matters: The Beverage Center has its own specific valve and sensor. If it leaks, it can damage the door insulation. We know how to access these hidden components without scratching the custom panels.
Samsung Chef Collection Service and Repair
This premium line features commercial grade performance. Ranges often have higher BTU burners and precise control knobs.
- Virtual Flame LED failure
- Precision knob sensor issues
- Dual convection fan synchronization
Why correct diagnosis matters: The “Virtual Flame” (blue LED lights on the cooktop) is a cosmetic feature but relies on magnetic sensors in the knobs. We can troubleshoot the lighting system without replacing the entire cooktop surface.
Samsung Family Hub Service and Repair
These are the famous “fridges with a tablet.” Issues here can be mechanical (cooling) or digital (screen/software).
- Touchscreen black or frozen
- Wi-Fi connection drops
- Speaker failure
- Cooling system diagnostics via screen
Why correct diagnosis matters: We can use the Family Hub screen to access deep diagnostic menus that standard fridges do not display. This gives us a history of temperature fluctuations and error codes.
Understanding Common Samsung Error Codes and Warnings
Samsung codes can be confusing because they sometimes use letters that look like numbers (like ‘b’ looking like ‘6’).
- 5E, SE, or 5C: Drain Error. The machine is not draining water.
- 4E, 4C: Water Supply Error. Not filling with water fast enough.
- dE: Door Error. The door is not sensed as closed.
- UE, Ub, Ur: Unbalanced Load. Washer cannot spin.
- LE, LC: Leak Error. Water detected in the bottom pan.
- HE, HC: Heating Error. Water or air is getting too hot or not hot enough.
- 3E: Motor Error. Defective motor or hall sensor.
- PC: Zone Error. Communication issue between the main board and a component.
Maintenance Tips for Samsung Owners in Tewksbury
A little care goes a long way with Samsung appliances. Here is how to keep them running smoothly.
Defrost the Ice Maker: If you have a French door fridge, inspect the ice maker monthly. If you see frost, defrost it immediately to prevent the “ice block” issue.
Clean the Condenser Coils: Vacuum the back of your fridge every six months. Samsung linear compressors are efficient but dislike heat buildup.
Run Calibration Mode: If your washer is vibrating, run the calibration mode (usually holding two specific buttons and power). This resets the weight sensors.
Clean the Dishwasher Filter: Samsung dishwashers rely on clean filters. Rinse the metal mesh filter weekly.
Check Dryer Vent: A clogged vent will kill a Samsung heating element very quickly. Keep the duct to the outside clean.
Update Software: For Family Hub and smart appliances, keep the software updated via Wi-Fi to fix bugs and improve performance.
Wipe the Door Seal: Keep front load washer seals dry to prevent mold. Samsung seals have drain holes that clog easily with lint.
Level the Fridge: Proper leveling is critical for the doors to close automatically and for the ice maker to fill correctly.

Frequently Asked Questions About Samsung Appliance Repair
Why does my Samsung ice maker keep freezing up?
This is a known issue with the design of the ice room in the refrigerator section. Warm air leaks in and turns to frost. We can install a service kit that includes a better seal, new drain clips, and a software update to reduce this problem.
Is it worth repairing a Samsung washer with a UB code?
Yes, usually. The “Unbalanced” code is often caused by worn suspension rods in top loaders. Replacing these rods is a straightforward and cost effective repair that restores the machine to like new operation.
Do you service Samsung Family Hub refrigerators?
Yes, we do. We can handle both the cooling system repairs and many of the hardware issues associated with the screen and interface.
My Samsung dryer heats for a minute then stops. Why?
This often indicates a restricted vent. The dryer overheats rapidly and the safety thermostat trips. Or, the motor centrifugal switch is failing. We can determine the exact cause.
Can you replace the glass top on my Samsung range?
Yes, if a heavy pot cracked your glass cooktop, we can replace the glass assembly. It is a safer option than trying to use a cracked top which can shock you or damage the internal wiring.
Why is my Samsung dishwasher blinking “LC”?
LC stands for Leak Check. The sensor in the bottom pan is wet. Do not run the machine. Turn off the breaker and the water supply and call us. It could be a loose hose or a seal failure.
I need Samsung appliance repair near me. Do you have parts?
We stock common Samsung parts like heating elements, drain pumps, and suspension rods. Because Samsung parts are specific, we try to diagnose the model accurately before arriving.
Why is my Samsung oven fan running when it is off?
It is normal for the cooling fan to run after the oven is turned off to cool down the electronic control board. However, if it runs for hours, the relay or thermal sensor might be stuck.
Do you work on Samsung FlexWash machines?
Yes, FlexWash units have a small top washer and a large front washer. They are complex with two drainage systems, but our technicians are trained to service them.
My microwave buttons don’t work. Is it the board?
It is often the membrane keypad itself rather than the main computer board. Over time, the silver traces inside the sticker wear out. Replacing the keypad is a common fix.
