Samsung Dishwasher Lines and Features
How Samsung Dishwashers Are Built
Most Samsung dishwashers dry by condensation on the cooler stainless steel tub walls, while some plastic-tub models add a Heated Dry option. Source: Samsung US - Samsung dishwasher does not dry dishes
A leakage (moisture) sensor under the dishwasher triggers LC or LE codes and keeps the drain pump running until the moisture clears. Source: Samsung US - Samsung dishwasher is leaking or has a leakage error code
Common Samsung Dishwasher Problems
- Dishwasher not draining. Samsung says to first clear the sink drain and garbage disposal (removing the disposal cap on a new disposal), then check the drain hose for kinks, crushing and an air gap or high loop. Source: Samsung US - Samsung dishwasher is not draining
- Dishwasher noise. For humming, buzzing or grinding, clean the drain filter and drain pump opening first, since something caught in the pump is the usual cause. Source: Samsung US - Samsung dishwasher is too noisy
