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 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
- Dishwasher odor. Clean the interior, including the filter, drain area, nozzles and door seal, then check that hot water reaches the unit. Source: Samsung US - Samsung dishwasher has an odor
