I would remove and examine the wash arms to see if any of the holes are plugged with food or mineral deposits. Clear any food with a paper clip. If you have mineral deposits, remove the deposits with Lime Away or CLR cleaner. Hope this helps you.

Hello

Your dishwasher has been designed to use a liquid rinse aid. Pouring a liquid rinse aid into the proper recepticle in your dishwasher when you add dish detergent greatly improves drying performance. You can further improve drying performance by selecting the Sanitize option, in addition to the other options you've selected, and increasing the water temperature.For Best Results, use Jet-Dry Turbo

Spots and film form in your dishwasher's rinse cycle, when detergents are already down the drain. FINISH® JET-DRY® Rinse Agent works in the rinse cycle, lowering the surface tension of water and causing it to sheet. Better rinsing results in less spots and film.

If these recommendations do not improve drying time, please contact Samsung Customer Care

I'm getting the same message too. I turned it off for awhile and I had a technician come out and take a look. My drainage pipes are all clear (SE code can mean that drainage is not working properly). He suggested that I get a "Samsung" tech out to take a look at the circuit board/electrical issue. Want to know the crazy thing? This is my second dishwasher that Samsung replaced....all the same electrical issue.....and just last week someone called me to see if I wanted to buy an extended warranty on it. Hmmmm.....do they know that this a piece of junk? It was an expensive dishwasher too.....doesnt clean any better than my cheap model did and it sure has a lot more problems in this first year than the whole 5 years that I had my other dishwasher. Can you tell im disgruntled?
I would love to hear if there is a simple fix to this SE problem.

Pressing and holding the Heated Dry key for 3+ seconds toggles the Control Lock (on if it is off, off when on). This is useful if you are using a delayed wash cycle (so no one turns it off) or to keep the dishwasher from being turned on when you clean the front panel.

I hope this helps.

The manual is no problem you can download it from this site.
The problem you are experiencing will not be described in it.

The door switch is either faulty or door latch is not closing properly. This prevents the power from reaching the controller and other parts.

The layout of the components involved can be seen here.

In case you were planning to investigate yourself, make sure the main power cable to dishwasher is taken out as the panel is live.

Hope this helps. Post a comment to confirm what you find.

I had the same problem. On the bottom of the unit is a tray the catches any water that leaks from the tub. In the tray is a sensor that shuts off the unit and water if it get wet. Take the tray off and see if water is in it. If so, you have a leak somewhere. You might be able to dry off the sensor and get it to work but if you have a leak, you want to know. Best way to check is put the dishwasher up on two milk crates, leave the tray off and turn it on the rinse cycle and see if any water drips.
On my first unit, the rubber seal was installed wrong at the factory. They replaced the seal, but the error came up again. When checked out, the tub was leaking too. The dishwasher was replaced with another one. After one wash, the same problem occurred. LE error. I took it back and got a different Samsung model. It just stopped working after only two weeks. Evidently the touch pad sensors are bad because it will not turn on. Needless to say I'm getting tired of installing dishwashers. I think I will go for a different brand.

Hi, this is a very common problem and can be sorted out easily, rather than explain it here i include some weblinks that explain it all in detail. plus my favorite below.

Here is one that takes the smells, hard water stains etc out of your dishwasher and plastic and glass ware. Fill up dishwasher, with plastic glasses, glass ware, dishware. No metal, of any kind! anything you want sparkly and clean.

No detergent! Fill up a small bowl at the Bottom of the dishwasher with vinegar, 1 cup of white. Run the cycle, do not dry. Fill up with 1 cup of bleach, run again. This takes care of all hard water stains, germs that are causing smell etc. Also check for food at the bottom of the dishwasher.
The site below explains WHY you get those smells.

Samsung changed the way they seal the lettering now. You need another brand new control panel

Is there a chance the dishes are moving when the machine is on? Cound the water jets(spraying the door and sides) be the cause of the noise. Is the sound insulating blanket on the outside of the machine? Try running empty on a shor cycle to help diagnose the problem.

The 9 was the minutes left in the rinse cycle. I solved the problem noticing that the door fastener had moved slightly to one side and as soon as I straightened it by hand the door closed and I could cancel the cycle. It is working fine now.

I had this problem and you have probably resolved it by now but I thought i would respond so that anyone else searching would get some help!!!

If program 2 and 4 are flashing it means that the filter is clogged and needs to be cleaned. Switch the dishwasher off - take out the filter and clean it and ensure all debris removed from in the filter housing. Pop it back in and switch back on and now the machine should work.

Mine is now running good as new!!

the problem is hard water i bet. there is a new product out that actually filters the water going into your dishwasher. this i think is awesome becasue who knows whats in the water cleaning the dishes you eat and drink with. my dishes use to be white and spotty and after the first load with the filter they came out spotless. you can get it at www.dishwasherfilter.com. you will be glad you did. oh it goes under the sink and is small and affordable.
