Codes referencing drainage or drain time (common across Samsung, Bosch, and similar brands) almost always point to a clogged drain hose, a blocked filter basket, or a failing drain pump — check the filter at the bottom of the tub first, since it's the easiest thing to clear yourself.
A code referencing water fill or supply usually means the water inlet valve isn't opening fully, or the water supply to the dishwasher has been shut off at the valve under the sink — worth checking before assuming a part has failed.
These typically point to a failing heating element or a thermistor that's reading temperature incorrectly, both of which affect how well dishes actually get cleaned and dried.
If the dishwasher won't start a cycle at all, a door or latch code usually means the door sensor isn't registering the door as fully closed and latched, which is a safety feature working as intended, not a random glitch.
Error codes vary by manufacturer and sometimes by model year within the same brand, so the same code can mean different things on different machines. A technician cross-references the exact code against your model's service documentation rather than a generic list.
Most dishwasher error codes fall into four categories — drainage, water supply, heating, or door latch issues — and checking the filter basket and water valve first solves a surprising number of them.
