A:Answer LC1 and LC1 problem:
I read a previous response and then tried it. It WORKED
After reading the manuals and trying various fixes, one response said to
"tip your washer forward for 2 minutes" and it will clear out your codes. Sure enough it worked.
The errors disappeared and My Samsung flex wash is working now.
To tip the machine forward you have to get behind it. There is no way to "pull it forward".
When I tipped it forward a small puddle of water appeared.at the base.
I thought I was wasting my time trying this because never adds "softener" to her wash.
I thought I would be wasting my time unless I let the machine dry for a few hours after tipping it over. The maching worked immediately after tipping it over. it seems the sensor wasn't just wet, it had been in a puddle of water.
But why did the problem develop if Lyn never uses water softener and used the SAME amount of detergent the 100 times she has used the upper washer.
The problem was probably this: she didn't close the lid tightly!
You might be thinking, "if you don't close the lid tightly, it won't run to begin with. Probably not true.
After 100 washes the lid closing sensor gets fooled.
It senses the lid is closed tight when it actually isn't closed tight, and let's you start the wash.
After the wash starts the lid opens a tiny bit more and produces a pool of water around the 1LC1 and LC1 sensors.
I provided this thorough response as a show of gratitude towards others who have taken the trouble to help, to my benefit.
Being persistent paid off today.
Bye and thanks.
