Is Eno Enough?

So, when we were in Arizona visiting Kasey, I asked Husband Jim to turn the water off in the laundry room. Yesterday, when I went to do some laundry, I turned the knobs back the other way and threw a load in. The washer started up, and then several minutes later stopped, giving me some sort of error message, which meant that it wasn’t filling. Hmm. So if Jim shut the water off, and I turned the knobs the other way, that would mean I had turned them on, correct? Well, in any case, I turned them back the way I found them, and the washer filled just fine. . . That really has nothing to do with the next part of the story, except setting the stage for a strange error message that appeared on the washer yesterday.

An hour or so after I started the washer, I heard its melodic tune that means it’s done, so I went to put the clothes into the dryer. But when I approached the washer, I noticed the error code, “Eno.” I opened the door, and it appeared that the clothes had been washed. They weren’t sopping wet. They smelled good. Hmm. So I put the clothes in the dryer and another load in the washer hoping I wouldn’t see that code again and thinking it might have something to do with the water.

As you might expect, the same error code, “Eno,” appeared for the second load. This meant I had to investigate the issue. I wondered what the code could mean. Enough? Did I fill it with too many clothes? No, I’ve stuffed it tighter than that before.

So, I opened the little drawer under the washer where I assumed I kept the instruction booklet for it, but it wasn’t there. No problem, I had my Droid with me, so I could look it up that way. But on the Samsung site, there was no such code. In fact, all the error codes only had two characters, not three, except for one that looked nothing like Eno. That meant I had to hunt down the instruction book, because clearly, my model had the ability to give the error code, Eno.

I finally found the booklet in the binder upstairs that has all the instruction booklets in it. Amazing. But strangely, the booklet didn’t have this code either, just the two-character codes and the long one, having nothing to do with my code.  I thought I might have to call the support number.

Shaking my head, I went back to the laundry room, and my brain cells decided to wake up, or at least to do their job. The washer indeed has a problem, because one of the little bars on the display is missing. Can you guess which one it is? Yes, it’s the top of the lower case letter, “d.” The washer was displaying just what it should at when it’s done with a cycle. “End.”
