Most searched Samsung dishwasher codes
| Code | Meaning |
|---|---|
| 3C | Wash motor (circulation pump) error — the main wash pump is not running correctly. |
| 4C | Water supply error — the dishwasher is not filling (or filling too slowly). |
| 5C | Drain error — the dishwasher did not drain in the allowed time. |
| 7C | Water-level / wash-system error on WaterWall models — the WaterWall reflector (vane) movement is not being confirmed. |
| LC | Leak error — the dishwasher's leak sensor (in the base tray) has detected water. |
| OC | Overflow error — the dishwasher has detected too much water entering / an overfill condition. |
| OE | Over-level water error (overflow) — Samsung groups the spellings OC, 0C and oE as one code: there is more water in the dishwasher than there should be. It is not the drain code; Samsung's drain error is 5C (also SC, 5E, SE). An earlier version of this entry defined OE as the drain fault, and Samsung's published lists contradict that — corrected here. |
| PC | Zone Wash / dividing-valve check — Samsung reports PC when the Zone Wash function is not operating correctly; in Samsung's other documentation the same code is the dividing (distribution) valve check, displayed when the dividing valve that controls water distribution is defective. (Corrected 2026-10-28 against Samsung US + Samsung AU/Gulf support and the DW80B-series and DW50R4040BB manuals: the earlier entry's PC1/PC2 display variants, position-switch narrative and DIY distributor-motor replacement procedure appear in no Samsung source and have been removed. Samsung's documented owner remedy is a functional check — turn the dishwasher off and on again — then service if PC continues.) |
| SC | Drain check error — the dishwasher is not draining properly (display variant of the 5C drain fault family). |
