Error Codes We Resolve

Drainage & Water Supply Systems
  • The Issue

    The most common fault is the "5E" or "5C" Error, indicating the machine cannot drain water. This is often caused by a failed drain pump, a clogged filter, or a kinked drain hose.

  • The Fix

    The most common fault is the "5E" or "5C" Error, indicating the machine cannot drain water. This is often caused by a failed drain pump, a clogged filter, or a kinked drain hose. Drainage and cleaning issues are assessed using Samsung dishwasher troubleshooting standards for effective and long-term fixes.

Leak Detection & Sensor Failures
  • The Issue

    Samsung dishwashers are equipped with a moisture sensor in the base. If this triggers, you will see the "LC" or "LE" Error Code, and the machine may pump continuously to prevent flooding.

  • The Fix

    This is often caused by a degraded Sump Gasket, a loose hose clamp, or a crack in the Overflow Sensor. We locate the microscopic leak source, dry the sensor pan, and seal the unit with new gaskets.

Cleaning Performance & Spray Mechanics
  • The Issue

    Dishes coming out with food residue or white spots often indicate a failure in the circulation system. This affects both WaterWall™ (linear arm) and Rotary (spinning arm) models.

  • The Fix

    We repair the Vane Motor and reflector assembly on WaterWall models. For standard units, we unclog calcified spray arms, replace the Diverter Valve, and test the Circulation Motor (Wash Pump) pressure.

Heating & Drying Failures
  • The Issue

    If your dishes are wet after a cycle or the machine stops mid-wash to protect itself, you likely have a heating failure (displayed as "HE", "HC", or "tE" errors).

  • The Fix

    We test the high-voltage Heating Element, check continuity on the Thermal Fuses (safety cut-offs), and inspect the Main PCB (Control Board) relay. We also check the Turbofan system to ensure steam is venting correctly.

Door Latch & Safety Switches
  • The Issue

    If the machine has power but beeps three times and refuses to start, the door latch sensor may be misaligned or broken.

  • The Fix

    We replace the Door Latch Switch assembly and align the striker to ensure the unit detects that it is safely closed before allowing water to fill.

Common Issues

Dishes Not Cleaning

If your glassware is cloudy or plates still have food debris, it is rarely just “bad detergent.” It usually points to low water pressure caused by a failing circulation pump or blocked spray arm nozzles. We dismantle the wash arms to remove hard water deposits (calcium buildup) and replace the Varrio Motor if necessary.

Leaking Water

Water pooling on your kitchen floor is a major safety hazard. This is often triggered by a degraded door gasket (seal), a loose internal hose clamp, or a crack in the sump assembly. Our technicians carry replacement rubber seals to fix this on the spot and prevent floor damage.

Not Draining

Dirty water staying at the bottom of the tub causes bad odors and bacteria growth (often the 5E/SE error). We inspect the check valve (which stops dirty water from coming back in) and the drain pump filter for obstructions like broken glass, bones, or popcorn kernels that jam the impeller.

Bad Odors

A foul “rotten egg” or sewage smell typically comes from trapped food particles in the filter screen or a kinked drain hose that prevents full evacuation. We perform a deep chemical clean of the internal filters and sump area to remove bacteria buildup.

Excessive Noise

A dishwasher should be quiet. If you hear loud grinding, buzzing, or thumping, it often means a hard object (like a fruit pit) is stuck in the Chopper Blade area, or the Motor Bearings have worn out. We open the pump assembly to clear debris or replace the noisy motor.

Buttons Not Working

If the “Start” button won’t respond or lights are flashing randomly on the display, moisture may have penetrated the User Interface (UI) Board. We test the ribbon cables and replace the touch panel assembly to restore full functionality.

Detergent Tablet Not Dissolving

If the soap tablet falls out but doesn’t dissolve, or gets stuck in the dispenser, it means the water isn’t getting hot enough or the spray arm isn’t hitting the dispenser door. We check the dispenser spring mechanism and the heating element to ensure proper dissolution.

Your questions answered

FAQs Samsung Dishwasher Repair

This is the most common error code. It indicates a Drainage Failure, meaning the machine cannot empty the water. This is usually caused by a blocked drain filter, a kinked hose, or a failed Drain Pump. We can clear the blockage or replace the pump to fix it.

 This is often caused by Hard Water deposits blocking the spray arm nozzles or a failure in the rinse aid dispenser. It can also indicate that the Circulation Pump isn’t generating enough pressure. We descale the internal components and check the pump pressure.

Yes. Samsung WaterWall™ models use a unique sliding spray bar instead of a spinning arm. Our technicians are specially trained to align and repair the Vane Motor and reflector assembly specific to these high-end models.

 Yes, the LC or LE code means the moisture sensor has detected a leak. The machine may pump continuously to prevent flooding. Turn off the water supply immediately and call us. It is usually a seal failure or a cracked sump.

 Absolutely. We have the tools to safely uninstall built-in units from your cabinetry, perform the repair, and reinstall them without damaging your kitchen skirting or flooring.
