Samsung Dishwasher Lines and Features
How Samsung Dishwashers Are Built
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
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 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

Around Richardson
Most dishwasher calls in Richardson come down to the same handful of parts: the filter and drain path, the drain pump, the inlet valve, the door latch and the heating parts.
Texas has no separate appliance repair license; under the Plumbing License Law, appliance dealers and their employees may install and service appliances (other than water heaters) without a plumbing license when hooking up to existing openings with a code-approved appliance connector, while other gas or water piping work generally requires a plumbing license. Source: Plumbing License Law, Tex. Occ. Code ch. 1301, §1301.053 (Texas State Board of Plumbing Examiners)
In Texas, you can check a license with the Texas plumbing Public License Search or report a problem to the Texas Attorney General, Consumer Protection Division.
