Why does my Samsung washer show PoF error code?
The PoF error code indicates your washer experienced a power failure or interruption during a wash cycle. This can be caused by power outages, loose connections, tripped circuit breakers, or electrical issues in your home.
Will I lose my wash cycle when PoF error appears?
No, Samsung washers have memory protection that saves your cycle progress. When you press Start after a PoF error, the washer will resume from where it was interrupted, so you won't need to restart the entire cycle.
Can I prevent Samsung washer PoF errors?
You can reduce PoF errors by ensuring stable electrical connections, avoiding overloaded circuits, and using a surge protector. However, you cannot prevent errors caused by external power outages or utility issues.
