Samsung Dishwashers - Page 8 - Answered Questions & Fixed Issues

Hello Randy Lowe, There is an EXPECTED INITIAL failure period on new equipment...!! Use your warranty... Brand new = Take it back & get a GOOD ONE. Carnac the Magnificent

There is no internal fuse that I am aware of, if it will not run then more then likely the control panel is defective.

might be the moisture sensor nxt to the float. They are both located on the left side where the fill tank connects to the outer side of the tub. It requires removing the unit, turning it upsde down, and opening some framework to get to it. there are instructions on the low-level sensor error page here somewhere.

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!

Most likely a pump fault if no external water leak.

I have a Samsung Dishwasher (DMS400THX) which comes up with an F5 error. Can't locate a service manual to find out exactly what the error is. The user manual just says to contact a Samsung service centre. Does anyone know what this could be? Machine is about 5 years old. Thanks for your help everyone.

this issue relates to a temporary power failure (EG: storm knocking out the power or that a breaker has tripped) this can be fixed by pressing the power key on the dish washer and the error code should clear if not contact samsung for a replacement control board

Theres no oil.. probably grease from the drive motor housing. I’m happy to assist further over the phone at https://www.6ya.com/expert/howard_977676954994c5b2

Make sure power is present to the dishwasher from the wall plug, then if that is ok you most likely need to replace the control panel assembly. Cost about $200 US installed on average

Check setting mode in the user manual and look for sound settings. I found it easier to download the user manual and complete a word search for "menu".

There should be a packet on the bottom of the machine that is under the unit, behind the kick panel. It is for technicians to use. Locate that packet and look for diagnostic tests. When a unit like that starts, it goes through several self tests, if one of those tests fails, it stops and usually a light or other indication comes on.

It is not that easy! When you power on the unit, it runs diagnostics on itself. If it doing that you should be able to hear it If you have it wired directly into the power then you need to switch off the breaker and then turn it on again. Listen for the pump etc and see if it makes noise. If you get nothing at all then you need to pull the unit out from under the counter and use a meter to check the wiring. The wires that run to the control panel flex when the door opens and closes, they break. Check the transformer on the control board. http://www.appliancepartspros.com/samsung-assy-pcb-main-dd92-00033c-ap5800462.html that is a picture of the board and the transformer is on the left half. There may be fuses there but they might not look like you expect.

Samsung Dishwasher LE leakage code FIX

This is usually a failed HEATING ELEMENT or HEATER RELAY. Disconnect power & remove the dishwasher from under the counter. The HEATER RELAY is located on the right side of the D/W. A metal panel/shield (on the right side) must be removed to gain access for testing. Testing the HEATING ELEMENT *can* be done from the bottom/front---but is easier if the D/W is placed on it's back---and removing the bottom cover/panel. In many cases I have seen failed HEATING ELEMENTS or RELAYS on Samsung D/Ws---in homes which had an INSTANT WATER HEATER (AKA: Tankless Water Heater). This type of Water Heater requires a minimum GALLON-PER-MINUTE of water flow---before it will *heat* the water. Many dishwashers have a lower GPM flow rate than required---this results in NO HOT WATER at all during water fill. The D/W heating sytem remains "on" for long periods of time---each time the D/W is used. Eventually the HEATING ELEMENT or HEATER RELAY fails

Does the washer complete the cycle but remains on? Do you know that it's supposed to turn off? If it is not completing the cycle, it might be due to a failing water inlet valve, a failing heater, or something similar. -Rod

Yes there is a spring that assists the door on the hinge.
