Samsung Dishwasher Lines and Features
What Makes Samsung Dishwasher Repairs Different
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
Samsung requires the drain hose to have an air gap or high loop, and a unit sitting on its own drain hose is the most common cause of drain trouble after installation. Source: Samsung US - Samsung dishwasher is not draining
What Samsung Says to Check First
- Dishwasher not cleaning. Check first for power loss, an error code or blinking lights, then confirm detergent is dispensing and dissolving. Source: Samsung US - Dishwasher cycle ends before dishes are clean
- Dishwasher leaking. Confirm it is a real leak by wiping up and running a new cycle, then turn off power and inspect the water supply hose, drain hose connection and door seal. Source: Samsung US - Samsung dishwasher is leaking or has a leakage error code

Florida's construction licensing guidance says that paid work such as installing a dishwasher connected to drinking water or replacing a water heater requires a licensed contractor, and that a local business tax receipt or certificate of competency may also apply; it does not describe a separate state appliance repair license.
