Hi -
During the spin cycle, our Samsung washer threw error code 9C8, or it could be 9CB. It's only 6 months old. Model # WA55A7700AV.
I spoke with someone from Samsung who said it's a software update issue, but all updates have been done. Turning the unit off and on, unplugging and plugging it back in didn't work. There's not much online about this code. One search turned up a possible voltage issue, but that doesn't make sense. Power source hasn't changed. Just for fun we tried another outlet and it still throws the code. Unit doesn't respond at all to pressing other buttons.
We have a tech coming out, but the first available appointment is a week from today. 😞
Anyone else have this code and know what the problem could be?
TIA for any insight.
Sarah

Hey, Everyone! Although the reset does take away the error code, it does not address the reason for the error 9C8/7/6. You may need an update on your washer. Please try the following troubleshooting steps: https://www.samsung.com/us/support/answer/ANS00091762/
If you continue to have this error afterward, or cannot update, please call 1-800-726-7864 to speak with an agent directly to insure that the unit doesn't require service.
When calling, make sure to have the full model code and the serial number of the device, as well as your best contact phone number, name, and email available to provide to the agent.

Our tech is coming out on the 30th. If you happen to remember to check back in here, would love to hear what they ended up doing to fix.

Currently dealing with the same issue. It seems like we all had this happen all on the same day

Found a solution to the problem!
Need to do a network reset on the washer. The new update caused problems with us all. Working again

I did the same thing...
Hopefully didn't ruin my chances of fixing this myself.
Crazy to have a tech come out just for a software issue...if that's what this is. I just want it to wash clothes. lol!

I had just put a load of blankets in the washer when it stopped before the spin cycle. I'm just thankful the washer is still under warranty.

I'm guessing this might have something to do with it?

Let me try going through the steps that I did. I pressed Temp spin Rinse spin and it took me to a different screen on the washer. I then pressed the temp and rinse buttons to get the numbers to change from 01-98 and pressed them through and hit start on some of them. I then did a network reset by pressing and holding Smart Control for 3 seconds then temp for 7 seconds. Also try these options while the washer is off. I don’t know exactly what I did to fix it while I was trying everything but doing all that seemed to reset the washer network settings. Also try taking off your washer from smart things that was another things I also did. Disconnect it from smart things. Sorry I didn’t see the new posts earlier was opening presents
