The 5E error code on a Samsung refrigerator indicates a problem with the water filter. This error code can occur for a few reasons, such as a clogged water filter or a water filter that needs to be replaced. Sometimes the 5E error code can also be caused by a problem with the water line that is connected to the refrigerator. If the water line is kinked or damaged, it can cause the water filter to become clogged or cause the refrigerator to not be able to get enough water. If you see the 5E error code on your Samsung refrigerator, you should check the water filter and the water line to see if they are the cause of the problem.
