Samsung DMR57LF Builtin Dishwasher - Answered Questions & Fixed issues

Samsung isn't the greatest dishwasher oem, and a lot of their sensors have not had proper real-world testing. I had a water sensor get wet and it kept thinking it was flooding s it would drain before starting a wash. Could ber food or plastic stuck in the drain area. I would buy a new seal for the pumpo compartment before removing it, or just a new housing. once you remove the torx screws from the bottom and lift that civer off, the rubber seal will be very difficult to replace because the rubber ends up being oversized for the channel and will have excess somewhere. i cut mine but not sure that's the best option. Glad mine was a sidewalk find, but now I know why. It was set upside down and developed mold inside. That's why my sensor was all messed up and getting to it was a huge ordeal. There was as lot of stuff in the bottom of the garbage disposal area. A metal pin was sticking through a housing wall. Various broken plastic parts were in there. If I had known all the problems, I would not have picked it up. It is nice and quiet though. But that's not good if it doesn't work!

First, are you using Rinse-Aid (Jet-Dry)? If not, that is your problem. New dishwashers (as part of this green, ecological, environmentalist-wacko movement) have cut back on the heating during the dry cycle, as a consequence, it is now imperative that you use rinse-aid to help with the drying.

The E3 error code is not a defined error for this dishwasher. If you are sure it is E3 then best option is to give the controller a reset. This is done by Press the Delay Start + Normal + Power keys at the same time for two seconds to enter Service Inspection Mode. - "ALL" is displayed for the first three (3) seconds and then "t1" is displayed. Press OFF at this stage. Do not attempt to run the inspection as this could damage the dishwasher unless you are familiar with the what each mode does. If the Error E3 keeps coming back then call the Samsung technician.

The problem on my Samsung was not the spray arm but the part it hangs from. This part is a small grey socket with a part number of POM it costs about $12 including shipping from here:http://www.searspartsdirect.com/partsdirect/part-model/Samsung-Parts/Dishwasher-Parts/Model-DMT300RFWXAA/1482/0130000/50037802/00005?blt=06&prst=&shdMod=After the spray arm falls off or you remove it by pulling it down and off... take a butter knife and pry the small grey plastic clips off the left and right side of the small part the sprayer arm hangs from. You will see it may have significant wear. Just pop the new part on and clip the sprayer arm back on. The part in the above link is no. 5If the aboe link doesnt work... go to www.searspartsdirect.com and search Holder PART NUMBER: DD61-00228AHope this helps.Charles

I would suggest you try starting a cycle on the dishwasher, then activating the Cancel and Drain option by pressing the Heavy and Delicate buttons simultaneously for 3 seconds.

Hi

The issue seems to be with the plastic part located on the connector that clips into the arm that is falling, if that is broke you have to replace it, in a 19 months old dishwasher I don't think that the arm can go bad. Hope this helps...please post back for further assistance.

Take out the top rack and inspect the pipe nipple that the rack slides onto. Make sure that there isn't any debris stuck in it. Next pull the wash arm in question off (it just pulls off) check for debris (toothpicks are the biggest culprits and food particles (sometimes glass so be careful). You should find something in there. The wash pipe goes from the bottom to the top of the unit, if the bottom one works and the top one works then your clog HAS to be in the middle wash arm. The water clearly makes from point A to point C so C has to have an obstruction or the wash arm is sticking and not spinning freely. Try to spin it my have but really inspect it for debris. Good Luck.

F1 fault code is an indication that you have a water leak. Before calling in a professional, try to troubleshoot the problem on your own. Many times it can be something as simple as a leaky hose, a broken seal or a blocked drain hose causing the F1 error.

Hope helps.

ost common error codes that are caused by installation errors are:

• 5E. If your dishwasher is displaying error code 5E, It can be caused by a kinked drain hose. A good indication that the drain hose is kinked is excessive water in the bottom of your dishwasher after a cycle has been completed. If your dishwasher is displaying error code 5E, your dishwasher will have to be removed to inspect the drain hose for kinks. If your dishwasher was professionally installed, contact the installer to remove the dishwasher and inspect the drain hose. If you installed the dishwasher your self, the dishwasher will have to be removed for drain hose inspection.

First things to try: 1. Unplug the fridge and move it away from the wall. 2. Inspect the power cord for damage. Replace the power cord if it is damaged. 3. Plug the fridge back into the wall outlet. 4. Set the temperature control to the desired level. 5. Push the "Reset" button, located near the temperature control panel, to reset the temp control settings. The Reset button is usually red in color. 6. Move the fridge back to its original position.

If your dishwasher is stuck in the drain cycle and the lights are flashing, it may be due to a faulty drain pump. You should check the drain pump and hose for any blockages or clogs. If these parts are clear, then the next step is to check the wiring between the dishwasher and the drain pump. If there is a loose wire or a broken connection, then this could be causing the issue. If the wiring seems fine, then the issue may be with the control board or the drain pump itself. If this is the case, then you will need to replace either of these parts to get your dishwasher back to working order.

It sounds like there may be an obstruction in the glide track that is preventing the third track from moving freely. Here are some steps you can take to try and resolve the issue:

1. Check for obstructions: Take a close look at the glide track where the third track is getting stuck. Look for any debris or objects that may be blocking the track. You can use a flashlight to help you see better. If you find any obstructions, carefully remove them.
2. Clean the glide track: Even if you don't see any obstructions, the glide track may be dirty or have accumulated debris. Clean the glide track with a soft cloth and a non-abrasive cleaner to remove any buildup that may be causing the third track to get stuck.
3. Lubricate the glide track: If the glide track is clean and free of obstructions, it may need to be lubricated to help the tracks move more smoothly. Use a silicone-based lubricant, such as WD-40 Silicone Lubricant, to lubricate the glide track. Apply a small amount of lubricant to the track and use a soft cloth to spread it evenly.
4. Check the glider tracks: If the above steps do not resolve the issue, the glider tracks may be damaged or misaligned. Check the glider tracks to see if they are bent or damaged in any way. If so, they may need to be replaced. If the glider tracks are misaligned, adjust them so that they are straight and parallel to each other.

If none of these steps resolve the issue, it may be worth consulting with a professional technician or contacting the manufacturer for further assistance

The clearance is governed by two things The height of the shelf and the height of the spray bar. Pull out the basket and check the screws holding the rails to the body. Remove the spay Bar and check the bushings and whatever dictates the height. It should spin, but shouldn't wobble.
