Know Your Samsung Dishwasher
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 drying. Use rinse aid, open the door slightly after the cycle (AutoRelease models do this automatically) and confirm hot water at 120 to 149°F. Source: Samsung US - Samsung dishwasher does not dry dishes
- 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
