Samsung dishwasher error codes at a glance
Samsung dishwasher error codes at a glance: these are not manufacturer-name substitutions. Every Samsung dishwasher record maps a real displayed code to its documented meaning, applicable checks and stop condition.
Samsung dishwashers show codes such as 5C for drain, 4C for water supply and LC for a leak. For a drain code, check the filter at the bottom of the tub and the drain hose for kinks and clogs, and run the garbage disposal if the hose connects to one. The spray arms and filter need cleaning regularly; a dishwasher that leaves residue usually needs filter and spray arm care rather than a repair.

Open recordTroubleshooting a Samsung dishwasher
Load dishes so water can reach them, use detergent suited to your water hardness and clean the tub with a dishwasher cleaner now and then. If a leak code appears, stop and look for water in the base before running it again; a blocked drain can overfill and trip the leak sensor.
Samsung dishwashers show codes such as 4C for water supply, 5C for drain, LC for a leak and HC for a heating problem. For a supply or drain code, check the tap, the hose and the filters, and for a leak code look under the unit and at the door seal. A dishwasher that stops mid-cycle can often be reset by turning off the breaker for a minute.
Clean the filter regularly, use the right amount of detergent and rinse aid and run the hot tap before starting. A leak or heating code that returns needs a technician, since it involves electrical and water connections.
Samsung dishwashers with a hidden control panel show codes on a small display or through the top edge lights. A water supply or drain fault is the most common reason a cycle stops. Check the water tap behind the dishwasher, the inlet screen and the drain hose, and clean the filter assembly in the tub. Models with a leak sensor stop if water collects in the base, so dry the base before restarting.
What does the LC code on a Samsung dishwasher mean?
The leak sensor has found water in the base; check for leaks and dry the base before restarting.
What does LC mean on a Samsung dishwasher?
LC is a leak code. Turn the water off, check under and around the unit, and call for service if you find one.
Where is the filter in a Samsung dishwasher?
In the bottom of the tub, under the lower rack. Twist the filter assembly out and rinse the mesh and the cylinder.
