Stop the cycle and turn off the water supply valves. If it comes back, it needs a visit. ### On a Samsung washer, is OE the same as OC? Yes. Samsung lists OE and OC, with 0E and 0C, as the same overflow message; the O and the zero are different ways the display draws it. ### Should I keep running my Samsung washer after an OC code? No. With too much water in the tub, turn the supply off and have the washer checked before the next load. --- **[Read on the site: Samsung washer showing OC | WasherRepair.center](https://washerrepair.center/error-codes/samsung-oc/)** **[Book a visit with WasherRepair.center](https://washerrepair.center/schedule/)**
