How Samsung Dishwashers Are Built
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
On AutoRelease models the door opens automatically in the last 5 to 15 minutes of the cycle, and an unlevel unit or a blocking cabinet can stop it from opening. Source: Samsung US - AutoRelease door does not open automatically
