I’d love to try that diagnostic mode but never eared of something like that. My machine is a recent Samsung (EU).

They also document the error codes:

But as mentioned most big appliances usually have a small service manual tucked inside the chassis somewhere. Those will have these instructions and the table to decipher the error codes, along with some basic troubleshooting steps. It might also include official part numbers to replace components which might have failed. This is often true for washing machines, dryers, fridges, dishwashers, stuff like that.
On my GE units it even stores recent codes in case it experienced multiple different issues while running. You can cycle through the history in the maintenance mode.
I do agree though, in the end you still probably need the table to decipher the error codes.
That’s great thanks! Your post is in my favorites for future references.
Glad I could be helpful. It's good to empower people to solve their own problems and keep things working instead of replacing at the first sign of trouble. Always be open to opening up an appliance and looking for a service manual, they're often zip tied somewhere in there.
Computerized gadgets should help us diagnose and fix issues, not hinder! Good luck on your future wrenching on your own stuff :)
