What a Samsung Dishwasher Technician Deals With
On AutoRelease models the door opens automatically in the last 5 to 15 minutes of the cycle, and an unlevel unit or a blocking cabinet can stop it from opening. Source: Samsung US - AutoRelease door does not open automatically
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
