Samsung washer Cb: Calibration mode is selected

THE SHORT ANSWER

Calibration mode is selected.

Cb identifies calibration mode. An empty drum is needed for a meaningful calibration.

First safe check

Remove laundry and any other objects before starting the calibration.

Applies to

Samsung washer families covered by the cited US guidance. Match the full model number and exact display; this is not an exact-model compatibility claim.

Before you start

Keep hands clear of a moving drum. Do not force a locked door or work on live wiring. Stop if water reaches an electrical connection.

How to interpret this result

Do not assume every panel uses the same pair of buttons. The objective is to calibrate load detection after setup, not to erase an unrelated error already displayed.
