Samsung Dishwasher Error Codes and Solutions

Samsung dishwashers are equipped with a set of error codes that help diagnose specific issues within the machine. Each error code corresponds to a particular problem, allowing users to identify and address the issue more effectively. Here's a list of common Samsung dishwasher error codes and their explanations:


1. 1E (or IE) - Water Supply Error

  • Explanation: This error indicates that the dishwasher is not receiving water, or the water flow is insufficient. It could be due to a closed water supply valve, a kinked or blocked water inlet hose, or a clogged inlet filter.

2. 3E - Pump Operation Error

  • Explanation: This error occurs when there is an issue with the circulation pump or the drain pump, preventing proper water circulation or drainage. It might be caused by blockages, pump malfunctions, or damage.

3. 4E (or 4C) - Water Supply Error

  • Explanation: Similar to the 1E error, this indicates that the dishwasher is not filling with water properly. It suggests problems with the water supply line, water pressure, or the water inlet valve.

4. 5E (or SE) - Drainage Error

  • Explanation: This error signals that the dishwasher is having trouble draining water. It might be due to a clogged drain hose, blocked filters, or a malfunctioning drain pump.

5. LE (or LC) - Leakage Error

  • Explanation: The dishwasher has detected a water leak or excessive moisture inside the unit. This could be caused by faulty door seals, leaking water hoses, or a damaged tub.

6. HE - Heater Error

  • Explanation: This error occurs when there is a problem with the dishwasher's heating element, which is responsible for heating the water during the wash cycle. It could be due to a malfunctioning heating element or a faulty temperature sensor.

7. bE - Button Error

  • Explanation: This error is related to a stuck or malfunctioning button on the control panel. It indicates that one or more buttons are not responding correctly, potentially due to dirt, moisture, or physical damage.

8. tE - Temperature Sensor Error

  • Explanation: The temperature sensor, which monitors the water temperature, has detected an abnormal temperature or is malfunctioning. This error suggests the sensor might need to be checked or replaced.

9. oE - Overflow Error

  • Explanation: This error occurs when the dishwasher overfills with water, indicating a problem with the water inlet valve, the float switch, or possibly an unlevel dishwasher that allows water to accumulate in excess.

10. PE - Sensor Error

  • Explanation: This error typically relates to issues with one of the sensors inside the dishwasher, such as the turbidity sensor, which monitors water cleanliness. The sensor may be dirty or faulty.

11. 9E - Low Water Level

  • Explanation: The dishwasher has detected an abnormally low water level during operation. This could be due to a problem with the water supply or an issue with the water level sensor.

12. CE - Communication Error

  • Explanation: This error indicates a communication problem between the dishwasher's main control board and other components, possibly due to loose connections or a faulty control board.

13. AE - Auto Release Door Error

  • Explanation: This error occurs when the auto-release door mechanism, which opens the door slightly at the end of a cycle to aid drying, malfunctions. It could be due to a mechanical or electrical issue with the door release system.

These error codes are designed to help users identify and address specific issues within their Samsung dishwasher.
