The DC code on a Samsung washer indicates that the washer has detected an imbalance in the load. This can happen if there are too many clothes in the washer, or if the load is not evenly distributed. The washer will automatically adjust the spin speed to try to correct the imbalance. If the imbalance is not corrected, the washer will shut off and the DC code will be displayed.
