What Makes Samsung Dishwasher Repairs Different
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
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
