I have a there year old SamsungDMT800RHS dishwasher that is throwing a “oe” (drain blockage) code.

It’s not blocked. The disposer it drains to is not clogged either. The sink drains also.

Any ideas what I can do?
I’ve already tried letting it sit for ten minutes w/o power....

Have you been through this site, explaining the codes? There are a few other reasons the ‘OE’ code comes on.

Samsung is garbage.
Bought a new one 3 weeks ago.
Been serviced 4 times now.
They're garbage.


There is a part on the left side of the machine that needs replacing.
I don't think it's a blockage but the sensor isn't moving.

Our Samsung was a piece of crap as well. It lasted 4 years and had multiple problems. SC hit the nail on the head. That fricken sensor went out twice and it is a major pain in the ass to replace. Recently replaced it with a KitchenAid and we're very happy with it so far.

Our Samsung lasted about 2 years. Replaced with a Kitchenaid, I'm pretty sure they're rated as most reliable dishwasher now. Haven't had any issues at all with it in a couple years.

Took it out of it's cave,

took the white plastic water maze thingy,

blew thru the drain piping,

put it back together,

test run...

Bingo

no blockage,

no stuck water level sensor,

just magic I guess
