Samsung Washer Error Code PHr

PHr is a power failure notification on Samsung washers. It appears when the machine was idle and a power outage or interruption occurred. The code is informational only and does not indicate a mechanical or electronic fault with the washer itself.

Yes, the PHr code can typically be cleared by pressing the designated button on your control panel, often Start or a dedicated OK button, to acknowledge the notification. You can also unplug the washer for about one minute and plug it back in. The code should not return unless another power interruption occurs.

PHr is a notification code and typically requires no parts or professional repair. If the code appears repeatedly and points to a wiring or outlet problem in your home, an electrician's service call could range from around 75 to 200 dollars depending on your location and the scope of the electrical work needed.

In most cases, you simply acknowledge the notification by pressing the Start or OK button to clear the display. Confirm that your home's power supply is stable and that the outlet and circuit breaker are functioning properly. If the code clears and the washer operates normally, no further action is needed.

Yes, it is safe to use the washer after PHr appears. Because the code only displays when the machine was idle during the outage, there is no unfinished cycle, no standing water from an interrupted drain, and no mechanical issue to resolve. The washer is ready for normal use once the code is cleared.
