What could be the problem on my Samsung DMR57LFS dishwasher with an E9 error after the low-level sensor is cleaned but the error still exists?

I have a Samsung dmr57lfs Dishwasher and I am getting the 9E code shortly after it begins any cycle. I have removed and cleaned the low-level sensor (DD97-00131A), there was not much gunk in it. I removed all the hoses and cleaned them. I tested the continuity of the micro switch and it is functioning. Testing power-to-ground at the sensor I get 18VAC incoming when the DW is filling and 18VAC outgoing when the arm engages the micro-switch. I removed the flow meter (DD32-00004A) and checked it for blockage and I removed the water valve and cleaned a piece of something out of the inlet screen. I reassembled and still get an error. I have not checked for water pressure but the water supply shot water about 14ft across the kitchen and into the dining room when I turned it on and it wasn't disconnected. I found these instructions on the internet: Press the following buttons at the *same* time: DELAY START--NORMAL--POWER(button) The word "ALL" appears for 3 seconds followed by "t1" (NOTE: Test #1 checks the functions of the INLET VALVE--FLOW METER--LOW LEVEL SENSOR) Press the DELAY START button---the DRAIN MOTOR will run for 45 seconds. Then---water will enter the tub. When the PULSE COUNT (on the display) reaches "660" or greater---press the NORMAL button four times. A flashing "t5" will be displayed & water will drain for 30 seconds. After 30 seconds---the "t5" will stop flashing. Press the NORMAL button again---"t6" will be displayed. The word "OFF" should appear in the control panel display---indicating that the LOW LEVEL SENSOR SWITCH is in the correct position for *No Water* in tub. I started this procedure but as soon as the "pulse count" reached 660 The DW flashed 9E again.

I have a Samsung stainless steel tub dishwasher and only 2 months after we had it installed we had all sorts of issues with it. We were lucky it was under warranty and turned out parts needed to be changed - upgrades from Samsung that were not done i nthe store where we purchased the dishwasher.. You may want to check with Samsung with your Mode land Serial Number you never know, there might of been a recall. Good Luck!

I’m happy to help further over the phone at https://www.6ya.com/expert/charles_6bf94c079488b145

What could be the problem on my Samsung DMR57LFS dishwasher with an E9 error after the low-level sensor is cleaned but the error still exists?

This is an exhausting procedure you have described here. Have you checked the float in the low water reservoir is actually working.

Low water level

I have a Samsung DMT400RHS and I started getting the low water level error ('Normal'+Heavy'+Smart Auto' LED blinking). The error started intermittently a few weeks ago, but the the last day or two the problem was solid, and simply restarting the cycle no longer worked.
I looked of the code in the dishwasher user guide and it said 'low water level.' Searched the internet and located the repair manual at tradebit.com for $15. The manual was well worth the $15.
The manual suggested: 1) loose level sensor connector 2) Faulty Assy case sensor or stuck floater aka 'remove foreign matter' 3) Bad Main PBA assy.
Since we do 10+ loads a week for the last 18 months the stuck floater seemed to be the most likely cause.
Go to Samsung DMT400RHS Low Water Level Error ('Normal'+Heavy'+Smart Auto' LED) (new link is https://photos.google.com/album/AF1QipNtp1neOR7icVG8cSs71bLpxQD5k_xljiWcJD2P click the i on each picture to see the caption - DM 04/17/2016) to see the pictures and read the captions documenting what I did. Do this at your own risk. You must turn off and disconnect the electric power and turn off the water supply before you begin.

Samsung Dishwasher (DMR57LFS): Error code oE. Fills...fills some more...then drains.

Samsung Dishwasher 0E Error - We had other appliances on that circuit. We believe when those appliances were turned on it created an undervoltage condition in the dishwasher, causing another sensor to send the high level error code 0E. We believe this is the problem because it only started after we added the new hot water dispenser on the same circuit. The problem went away when we leave it off for the whole dishwasher cycle. I'm guessing it could also be caused by brown-outs and other large electrical loads cycling in the same household. That's the theory anyway. The folks who sold us the dishwasher suggested turning off the breaker, to reset the computer. Good idea, but not for our particular case.

Low water level error with a new samsung dishwasher. Only 3 months old. What could be the problem?

Do you hear the washer draining (into the sink drain) after it fills and should start washing? Check that nothing (sound deadener, etc.) is interferring with the drain valve lever arm.

Unable to reset after LE problem.

LE is a Leak error, the leak sensor is on the very bottom of the machine. you can let it sit for a while till the water dries and it will start again. If it happens again then you'll have to call for service, that or pull out the unit yourself.. prob. not recomended.
