8E Error is a over current error. Switch off the appliance at the mains then wait 30 seconds. Switch appliance back on again and start a new program. Try this and let us know the results. Matt Ace technician

the unit will go through full cycle till it gets to spin then shuts down. Rinse and spin the same thing ,gets to spin and 8e code comes up .Can it be the lower harness with doing lots of web searching
-
Yes. Lower harness is a good possibility. To test this you would have to check for continuity through the wires at each end of the harness. You can visually check for loose or damaged wiring as well.

HI. It looks like the 8E error code has to do with the MEMS sensor.I found this forum online about the 8E error code. This might be for a top load washer however. http://appliancejunk.com/forums/index.php?topic=15432.0 that I thought would help you. The issue has been found to be a problem with the lower wire harness. This is not on your exact model number but could be the same thing. I also found some info about the error code being an issue with the motor or control board. Does the basket on the washer spin freely? You can also check for continuity in the wire harness or check for broken wires or loose connections. Also, check out this link that has a description of the 8E error code as well. http://www.appliancehelponline.com/samsung.html I am unable to locate a tech sheet on this unit at this time.
