Samsung Wasmachine Storing Lc1 |top| Jun 2026

The LC1 error is triggered by the (rotor position sensor) on the motor. When the control board sends power to the motor but receives no feedback indicating rotation (or excessive resistance), it halts operation and displays LC1.

| Cause Category | Specific Issue | Likelihood | | :--- | :--- | :--- | | | Foreign object (coin, bra underwire, sock) stuck between the inner drum and outer tub. | High | | Overload | Laundry load exceeds the machine’s capacity (e.g., >9 kg in an 8 kg machine), jamming the drum. | Medium | | Motor Failure | Open or short circuit in the stator winding; seized motor bearings. | Medium | | Hall Sensor Failure | Faulty rotor position sensor (no feedback signal). | Medium | | Clutch Issue | In top-load or some front-load models with a clutch mechanism: clutch fails to disengage or engage. | Medium (Top-load) | | Main PCB Fault | TRIAC (power transistor) on the board blown, causing no power to motor. | Low | samsung wasmachine storing lc1
