When to call a pro
If tE returns after that cycle, switch off power at the circuit breaker and request service through Samsung's Support Center. HE is also a detection error: Samsung says the inside temperature is being detected incorrectly, and HE's steps start the same way (empty the dishwasher, add detergent, run a normal cycle) before the same breaker-off and service request. HC is different. Samsung says HC means the temperature inside is too hot, and HC's steps start with a 30-second breaker reset. 3E is a hot water supply above 176°F. LG dishwasher tE is a different brand's temperature sensor code. LG sends that one to a technician and does not publish this cycle.
