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 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
What Samsung Says to Check First
- Dishwasher not drying. Use rinse aid, open the door slightly after the cycle (AutoRelease models do this automatically) and confirm hot water at 120 to 149°F. Source: Samsung US - Samsung dishwasher does not dry dishes
- 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
