Samsung Washer ND Error Code
No drain—water still in tub
What this error means
ND is Samsung's No Drain fault—the drain pump ran but the water level sensor still detected water after the drain phase. The washer stops before spin to avoid sloshing a full tub.
Common causes
- Drain pump filter clogged with coins, lint, or hair
- Drain hose kinked or pushed too far into standpipe
- Blocked house drain or shared sink clog
- Failed drain pump motor humming without moving water
Step-by-step fixes
- 1Open the small access panel at the front bottom, drain into a pan, twist out the filter
- 2Straighten the drain hose with an air gap at the standpipe
- 3Run the kitchen disposal 30 seconds if sharing a drain line
- 4Retry Spin Only after filter cleaning
When to call a technician
Clean filter with pump humming but no water movement needs drain pump replacement.
