Samsung Washer 1C Code: Water Level Sensor Check
Short answer: On the Samsung WF45T6000A* washer, 1C means "check the water level sensor." The manual's fix is to power the washer off, wait 2-3 minutes, power it on and try again. The washer may drain itself first. If 1C keeps returning, it needs Samsung service.
What 1C means
On the WF45T6000A* manual’s information-code table, 1C means to check the water-level sensor. Samsung notes that the drain system may empty automatically, so the controls can be unavailable briefly. This is a model-qualified meaning, not a universal Samsung code rule.
Primary references: Samsung WF45T6000A* user manual, Information codes, and Samsung washer information-code support.
Safe checks
- Stop the cycle and keep clear of the door if water is present.
- Power the washer off, wait two to three minutes, then power it on and try the cycle again, as the manual directs.
- Look only at accessible hoses and the floor for a leak. Do not remove the cabinet or sensor tubing.
- If 1C returns, stop using the washer and arrange Samsung service. A replacement sensor must match the complete model number and should not be fitted from the code alone.
When to stop
Stop immediately for a leak, standing water near the plug, unusual noise or a returning code. The automatic drain behavior can be model-dependent; do not force the door or reach into the tub.
