First, try to find the source of the leak. Leaks most often appear at the door of the dishwasher or underneath. Leaks can be caused by a number of issues: worn door gasket, water temperature, leaking drain hose, worn gaskets, or a corroded tub. For help identifying the cause and finding a solution, see the troubleshooting chart at Dishwater leaking for more information. Good luck!

Samsung dishwasher error code LC

There is a leak. In the dishwasher there is protection from leaks. If the sensor gets wet, the machine will show you this error. Sometimes leaks may occur due to an oversupply of foam.

Have an LC code on my Samsung dishwasher. There is no leak and the code doesn't stop after I have turned off the power for over 15 minutes

I had the LC code flashing on my Samsung dishwasher and my mom also had the same problem with her Kenmore dishwasher! We tried everything everyone has posted and nothing worked!! Turns out it was an easy fix! Just add jet dry to the jet dry compartment on the inside panel of the door to the dishwasher and it worked!! No more LC code and the dishwasher now works fine!! I thought adding jet dry was an option?? Apparently it is a requirement with these new dishwashers!!

My Samsung AAA dishwasher stop working and give me error report F3 on display

Sounds like a water leak. Could be a good idea to turn off the dishwasher, cut the electricity and water and check for leaks.

If no leaks found, wait a few minutes and turn on electricity & water back on.

Dishwasher is showing an 'LE' error code? What does this mean?

LE on a sumsung dishwasher is a "LEak" warning. There is water in the base of the machine. If you tip the machine sideways 45% the water will run out and the machine will start again. This will not however fix the leak! But it will confirm that you have one

WHY DOES THE MOTOR ON MY SAMSUNG DISHWASHER RUN ALL THE TIME AND THE LIGHT ABOVE HEAVY BLINK?

Yes, you've got a leakage error, which means water has leaked down into the base of the dishwasher. The drain pump runs all the time, trying to get all the water out, but the drain pump can't get to the water down in the base. (Those North Korean engineers/designers aren't too bright.) You'll have to pull the dishwasher out, pull off the side panels, and dry up all the water before that drain pump will stop running. But you still have the problem of figuring out where the leak came from and fixing the problem before you can use the dishwasher. The most common source of leakage in a Samsung DW is the drain pump and/or drain hose.

How do I over ride power button, force shut down

The dishwasher has detected a leak, and is trying to drain all the water out of the dishwasher. The problem is that the water has leaked into the base of the dishwasher, and the drain pump doesn't drain water from there! You dishwasher probably has a 1 or 2 lights on (or flashing), which also, when decoded, would indicate a leak. Basically, you have to pull the dishwasher out and sop up and dry up all the water in the base. That will stop the drain pump from running, but you still have the problem of figuring out where the leak came from and fixing the problem before you can use the dishwasher. The most common source of leakage in a Samsung DW is the drain pump and/or drain hose. Good luck! If this sounds like more work that you feel qualified to do, I recommend you call a professional repairman. For Samsung dishwashers, I recommend calling Sears.

Dishwasher won't stop running

Question what do you mean not stop running. Is it starting the pump and then shutting down like a leak error then restarting or always on. If always on then you may have a bad main board with a stuck relay. I would call Samsung with this issue. But if it is starts stops then starts you may have a leak then either take unit out and find leaking problem or like I said before call 1800 Samsung for there products.
