Samsung Washing Machine Cb / C6 error code

Difficulty: Easy · Cost: $0 · Duration: 1–3m

Cb or C6 is not an error code. It means the washing machine is running Calibration mode — a process that recalibrates the drum's weight detection system which is used to automatically adjust water levels per cycle. Calibration mode runs for 1 to 3 minutes and ends by itself. For calibration to work correctly the washing machine must be completely empty. If there is laundry inside remove it and run Calibration mode again.

Common causes

Calibration mode was initiated at the end of installation as part of the setup process
Calibration mode was manually activated

How to fix it

1

Make sure the washing machine drum is completely empty
2

Allow Calibration mode to run — it takes 1 to 3 minutes and ends automatically
3

If there was laundry inside when it started remove it and run Calibration mode again to ensure accurate calibration
