Samsung Dishwasher Lines and Features
What Makes Samsung Dishwasher Repairs Different
Samsung dishwashers use one of three filter setups (a removable fine filter, a twist-lock cylindrical micro filter, or a non-removable filter), and an incorrectly reassembled filter can cause drain or overflow errors. Source: Samsung US - How to clean your Samsung dishwasher
Samsung Dishwasher Symptoms and First Checks
- 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

Dishwasher Notes for Medford, MA
Most dishwasher calls in Medford come down to the same handful of parts: the filter and drain path, the drain pump, the inlet valve, the door latch and the heating parts.
Massachusetts does not issue a separate appliance repair license; running fuel gas piping to appliances and installing their vent piping is gas fitting work that requires a license from the Board of State Examiners of Plumbers and Gas Fitters.

In Massachusetts, you can check a license with the Massachusetts Division of Occupational Licensure eLIPSE license verification portal or report a problem to the Massachusetts Attorney General's Office, Consumer Advocacy and Response Division.
