In this article, I will give examples of the codes and tell you what they mean.
I will also detail how to troubleshoot these errors.
The indicators (lights) will blink to indicate the error code.
Valeriy Artamonov
A metal mesh filter is installed in front of the pump that pressurizes the dishwashing water.
The purpose of this filter is to trap food residue.
Occasionally, this filter becomes clogged and needs to be cleaned.
Remove the filter, rinse with hot water, and reinstall; the error should go away.
Error code 3C, Samsung dishwasher
This error indicates a malfunction of the dishwasher water pump.
look to see if there is food residue in the pump; I had this happen once.
I did not roll out the filter properly; an apricot seed got into the pump and jammed it.
Error code 3E, Samsung dishwasher
The dishwasher can be connected to both cold and hot water.
If hot water is used, the washing cycle is shortened.
The dishwasher is designed to operate with water temperatures up to 176F (80 C).
see if the water supply tap is not closed.
The error appears if the tank does not fill with water 4-5 minutes after the start of the cycle.
Error 4E indicates that the temperature of the water supplied to the dishwasher is not correct.
The water temperature may be very low.
You will see a particular error 3E if the water is very hot.
This fault usually happens when the drain pipe is clogged.
Ive had this problem with my sewer line.
Sometimes, this problem occurs if you last used your dishwasher long ago.
Depending on the model of the dishwasher, there may be different codes.
It is corrugated and can stretch and bend.
If the problem is in the drain, clean the drain.
Then, run a wash cycle with maximum temperature and detergent to flush the drain pipe.
Error code 7E Samsung dishwasher
Code 7Eappears when the water wall mechanism cannot move.
If the dishwasher is new, remember to remove the adhesive tape securing the mechanism during transportation.
If the dishwasher has already been used, peek if something has fallen to the bottom of the dishwasher.
This error often triggers when the water jets cause something to fall and block the mechanism.
Remove the dishes and start the wash cycle without loading.
If the error occurs again, the dishwasher must be repaired.
Error code AP Samsung dishwasher
AP error is not an error; its a status indication.
If you cannot connect the dishwasher, turn the power off and on again to reset the dishwasher.
Error code bE, 6E Samsung dishwasher
This error comes up whenever a button is stuck.
It appears when a button is pressed for more than one minute.
To reset the error, disconnect the dishwasher and press all buttons individually.
Unfortunately, there is no indication of which button is stuck.
Pay attention to how the buttons are pressed; perhaps some button is broken.
If so, you must repair the control panel and replace the entire panel or the button.
Error code CE/EC Samsung dishwasher
This error codeCE/ECoccurs when a button is stuck.
It appears when a button is pressed for more than one minute.
To reset the error, disconnect the dishwasher and press all buttons individually.
Unfortunately, there is no indication of which button is stuck.
Pay attention to how the buttons are pressed; perhaps some button is broken.
If so, you must repair the control panel and replace the entire panel or the button.
This error occurs if the heating element overheats the dishwashers water.
Suppose it is not a failure that can be attempted to reset by starting the wash cycle over again.
Suppose the temperature changes abruptly or varies widely during the program run.
The dishwasher detects this condition as a faulty temperature sensor (thermistor).
In 90% of cases, it is defective and needs to be replaced.
The possible cause is scale build-up on the sensor, preventing it from correctly detecting the temperature.
Try removing the dishes, add detergent, and start the wash cycle at the maximum temperature.
If this does not help, the dishwasher must be repaired.
The following are the possible causes of the LC error.
Unplug the dishwasher and let it stand for some time, such as 24 hours.
Then, turn the dishwasher back on and see if the error disappears.
If the error persists, disassemble the dishwasher and check for leaks.
Error code LE Samsung dishwasher
Error LE appears in dishwashers with a water wall.
The water wall deflector has become blocked during operation.
The remedy is quite simple: check that the cookware is positioned correctly.
Typically, the problem occurs in the upper spray arm, which is located on the upper dish tray.
Error code PE Samsung dishwasher
Some dishwashers have a half-load function.
This is to save water and energy.
When the half-load mode is selected, the upper spray arm is switched off in such dishwashers.
Dishes can only be placed in the lower tray.
The error happens when the upper spray arm is switched on and only when washing half-load dishes.
The possible cause is a faulty valve that cuts off the water supply to the upper spray arm.
Try several wash cycles without dishes, necessarily with detergent.
If the error persists, there are two options: repair the dishwasher or use complete load cycles.
The temperature sensor check circuit performed a test and detected a mismatch in the sensor parameters.
Samsung recommends running the dishwasher several times without dishes.
If the error persists, the temperature sensor must be replaced.
Error code HC2, HC4 Samsung dishwasher
HC2, HC4 heating element malfunction or overheating.
Fault the heating element has failed and has crapped out.
Overheating is usually brought on by limescale.
You probably have tough water with a lot of minerals.
It can also happen if you use your dishwasher without salt.
The dishwasher has an ion exchange plate that softens the water, and impurities settle on it.
Salt binds these impurities and cleans the plate, preventing them from forming scale.
The other errors are clear, and so and need no explanation.
In dishwashers without a display, the errors are similar to those described above, e.g.
blinking of the Normal button is an LC error, water leakage detection.
