If the smartphone fails to recognize the error code more than twice, please enter the error 

code displayed on the display panel of the washer manually into the Smart Check app.

Downloading the Smart Check app

•  Download the Samsung Laundry App into your mobile phone from the Android market 

or Apple App store. (Search word : Samsung Smart Washer/Dryer)

Precautions when using Smart Check

•  If light from a light bulb, fluorescent bulb, or lamp is reflected on the display panel of 

the washing machine, the smartphone may not be able to recognize the panel or error 

message easily.

•  If you hold the smartphone at too large an angle relative to the front of the display panel, 

it may not be able to recognize the error code. For best results, hold the smartphone so 

that the front of the panel and the smartphone are parallel or nearly parallel.
