1C Samsung Dishwasher Error Code

DIY

What does 1C mean?

The dishwasher fails to start or stops early and keeps trying to drain even when there is basically no water inside (low-water-level condition).

Common causes

The manufacturer support page points to these conditions for this code:

  • A blocked or dirty filter
  • Debris or a blockage in the water path

What to check first

  1. Check whether the filter is clogged, make sure dishwasher detergent is used, ensure the load is even, and turn the dishwasher off and back on after 5 minutes.

Safety

  • Unplug the appliance before opening the filter, pump cover, or drain area, and expect water to come out.

When to call a professional

If the code persists after the checks above, contact Samsung service.
