Safe checks for 3C
- Turn off the dishwasher
- Try to start the cycle again
Safety firstSwitch the dishwasher off at its breaker before you reach into the base or remove a filter or cover, and let the tub and water cool after a cycle. Watch for sharp debris. Pump, heater, valve and control-board repairs belong to a qualified appliance technician.
Capacitors can hold a charge after the power is off. Safety terms.
When to call a pro
If the error still occurs, Samsung says to request service through its Support Center. Not the same as Samsung washer 3C, which is a motor error. Not the same as dishwasher 3E, which is a high temperature water supply. Read the characters on the display.
