I am getting an error code when adding a device to smartthings, what can I do?

05-300 is a failure to enter/connect to the Access Point (AP) provided by the device (in this case Washing Machine’s AP).

Try power cycling the phone, the Washing Machine, Reset Washing Machine, Airplane mode with WiFi on (or disable cell data) for phone, or use a different phone and try again would be my advice.

If you need more help, please contact Support@SmartThings.com.
