Model symptom

Samsung dishwasher shows LC or LE leakage code

Samsung documents LC and LE as leak-sensor moisture codes, so the safe response is leak inspection and avoiding repeated restarts.

Applies to

Samsung Dishwasher; United States. This page is not a brand-wide diagnosis.

What this symptom can indicate

The dishwasher may show LC or LE, run by itself, attempt to drain, or indicate moisture/leakage around the unit.

Checks that do not require disassembly

Check for visible water around or under the dishwasher.
On Waterwall models, check whether the water reflector is blocked.
Do not keep restarting the dishwasher while a leakage code is active.
