Do a hard power reset

You need to unplug your Samsung washing machine for about 5 minutes as this will normally reset most of the electronic glitches or any other issues with software that may be present. Make sure that you leave it unplugged for several minutes. This also helps the capacitors get discharged on the control board. There is a high possibility that the IE code will go away.

Ensure proper wire connection

1E errors can also be a result of a loose wire connection or even a shorted wire. You simply need to ensure that the connection is tight and also look for contacts which are on the Molex connector. There may be instances where the end of the wire harness will build up corrosion which will lead the connector to not make proper contact. You have to clean the end of the pressure switch wire harness with the help of a wire cleaner and ensure proper wiring connection on the pressure switch and the PCB.

Replace the pressure switch

If the above actions don’t fix the issue, you may have to replace the pressure switch. You need to remove the hose and blow through it in the direction of the tub. If it’s clear, you must replace the pressure switch to fix the problem.

If troubleshooting does not help rectify the 1E error code, you should contact a Samsung’s repair person.
