Exact questions

Questions that only have an answer for the Samsung DW80B6060 dishwasher

Each answer below uses this model’s own published figures. The same question asked about a different model in the line has a different answer, which is why it is answered here rather than on a general page.

My Samsung DW80B6060 shows an LC or leak code.+

LC means the leak sensor in the base pan has detected water. Even a small amount trips it and stops the wash to prevent damage. Check under and around the dishwasher for a leak — common sources are the door gasket, a loose hose clamp, or overfilling from too much/wrong detergent (excess suds). Once the base is dried out and the leak fixed, the code clears. Do not ignore it; it is protecting against a flood.
