  • 1E - On WaterWall models, 1E indicates the filter is clogged and restricting water flow. On rotary spray arm models, 1E indicates the water temperature has risen above safe operating limits or the high-temperature heater is faulting.
  • 3C - The dishwasher's wash pump has failed or is not operating within normal parameters. The pump is responsible for circulating water through the spray arms during the wash cycle. When 3C appears, the pump cannot move water and the wash cycle stops.
  • 3E - The incoming water supply to the dishwasher exceeds the safe operating temperature limit (above 176°F / 80°C). Samsung dishwashers heat their own water and are designed for a cold or warm supply — not a supply that is already at high temperature.
