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 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 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
