Hello,
This means that the Dishwashers has detected a condition it needs to check.
Press "Cancel" to clear the display and to stop the beeping sound, then
try turning the Dishwashers off and on again.
If you still see the "SE error code," turn off the power to your Dishwashers and wait five
minutes before turning it on again. If you hear the beep or see the "SE error code"
when you try to washing again, please call your authorized
provider for service.
Hope this help?.
thanks for visit.

That is the PDF (copy link into your browser). I got the dreaded SE. Took off all the hoses (see PDF above) and found a plastic piece stuck in one of the drain pump returns. This plastic broke off of the upper tray assembly (a very common problem, as you will see if you Google SE errors and samsung).
This video explains what I mean. Those tabs break off and block your hose.

Took out the plastic bit. Voila. Problem fixed. The hose was only accessible once I took out the DW. I promise you, the SE is 99.9999999% due to a blocked hose, and that hose is blocked because Samsung decided to save a few cents per unit using plastic when they should have used metal. Shame on you Samsung. Saved myself 100's of dollars on repairs/technician visits. CHECK YOUR HOSES. THEY ARE BLOCKED. FOR SURE!!!
Don't even consider replacing the motherboard, or drain pump at first. Forget that. Be patient, and look in all of the hoses. You will see that there is something stuck (plastic no doubt). Remove. Done. The PDF linked above tells you exactly how to disassemble your DW. It's not hard. I did it, and I am in no way a "handy man".

SOURCE: I have the same SE error message on my Samsung dishwasher.
An "SE error" indicates a drain problem. The first time I saw this error on my DMR78AHS, I experimented with different scenarios and cycles involving my washer for about a week... to no avail. Finally I pulled it out and found that the contractor who installed it had accidentally crushed the attached drain hose against a 2x4 inside the counter when they pushed it back under the counter. I had to cut off the crushed part of the hose and reconnect it the drain line with some hose clamps (this is not ideal). If it was recently installed, you could explore this option or you could simply try to snake the line, starting from where the drain hose attaches to your sink's drain. You may also want to get a professional to help such as a plumber or a dishwasher specialist.
SOURCE: i am recieving an SE
I have the se problem...only one year old. Since then change Samsung drain hose (theres a one way check valve inside) and replaced with a universal one from home depot (no check valve). At the same time bought correct hose being shipped from china so took awhile to get here to America. To simplify my point in telling you, depot hose flows better, less resistance, and bigger openning; like 1/2 to 3/4 difference. Guess what? No drain issue and se is back before I even install correct hose. Well warranty is up next month so now service tech can make the call as my warranty runs out....sure he will fix it for a month or two but problem will come back and stuck buying another model. Samsung has since stop making this stainless steel model for a reason. What a expensive piece of junk and in the interest of someone like myself who has all Samsung ss kitchen should give me another knowing theres a known issue. So I wont be happy with patch as only so much that can be done with **** product. This is what I think is real issue. The electronics of this machine cant handle the one way check valve limited drain flow so although corrected their issue with bigger hose its already too late unless was done from beginning. From reading online complaits clothing or dish washer same issue error code SE (not real issue) and wont work. If I seem a little angry cause previously owned worked better and lasted 8 years without any ANY problems.
