How the 17 Samsung families here actually differ

These are not marketing tiers. Each group below behaves differently under diagnosis, which is why a procedure written for one does not transfer to another, and it is the first thing to settle before following any fix.

Samsung electronic-control front-load washer; confirm the exact code against the model label.

Dual-compartment FlexWash model; identify whether the upper or main washer is affected.

Dual-compartment FlexWash model; identify the affected washer before interpreting a code.
