Know Your Samsung Dishwasher
What a Samsung Dishwasher Technician Deals With
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 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 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
- 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
