Introduction

Samsung dishwashers are a popular choice for homeowners who are looking for high-quality, reliable, and efficient appliances. These dishwashers are designed to make cleaning dishes easy and convenient, with features like adjustable racks, multiple wash cycles, and efficient energy use.

However, like all appliances, Samsung dishwashers are not immune to issues, and one of the most common issues that homeowners may encounter is the Samsung Dishwasher AP error code. In this article, we will provide a comprehensive guide to the Samsung Dishwasher AP error code, including what causes it, how to troubleshoot it, and how to prevent it.

If your dishwasher isn't draining, make sure the issue is not due to your home's sink drain or an incorrectly installed drain hose. Also make sure you're keeping the filter and drain area inside the dishwasher clean of food and debris.

The AP error code appears when there is not enough water in the dishwasher. Empty the dishwasher. Add detergent, and then run a normal cycle. If the error still occurs, switch off power to the dishwasher at the circuit breaker.

 

What Causes the Samsung Dishwasher AP Error Code?

The Samsung Dishwasher 9E error code indicates a problem with the dishwasher's water supply or heating system. Some of the most common causes of the Samsung Dishwasher 9E error code include:

 The AP error code appears when the reflector is not able to move correctly. If you have recently unboxed the dishwasher, verify the packing tape has been removed from the waterwall reflector, allowing it to move. Check that the reflector is installed in the correct position and is not blocked.

 

‍Troubleshooting the Samsung Dishwasher AP Error Code

If you are experiencing the Samsung Dishwasher 9E error code, there are several steps you can take to try to resolve the issue:

  1. Check the water supply:  Ensure that the inlet valve is not clogged, that the water supply hose is not kinked, and that the water inlet valve is functioning properly.
  2. Clean or replace the filters: If the filters in your Samsung dishwasher are clogged, clean or replace them. This restores proper water flow and can resolve the AP error code.
  3. Check the circulation pump for blockages or damage: If the circulation pump is clogged or damaged, it can cause the AP error code to appear. Check the pump for any blockages or damage, and clean or replace it as needed.
  4. Check the heating element for damage or malfunction: If the heating element is damaged or malfunctioning, it can cause the AP error code to appear. Check the heating element for damage or malfunction and replace it if necessary.

 

Prevention of Samsung Dishwasher AP Error Code

Some steps you can take to prevent the AP error code include:

  • Clean the sensor and the float switch.
  • Test the water inlet valve if it’s working correctly.
  • Make sure that the drain hose has a high loop.

The Steps:

  1. Regular cleaning and maintenance of filters and circulation pump: Helps prevent clogs and ensures proper water flow, reducing the risk of the AP error code.
  2. Regularly inspect the water supply and inlet valve: This can help to detect any issues before they become serious enough to cause the AP error code. Check for any kinks in the water supply hose and ensure that the inlet valve is functioning properly.
  3. Proper loading of the dishwasher: This can help prevent clogs in the filters and circulation pump. Make sure to load dishes in a way that allows water to circulate freely and avoid overloading the dishwasher.
  4. Proper usage of dishwasher detergent: This can help to prevent clogs in the filters and circulation pump. Follow the manufacturer's instructions for the amount and type of detergent to use and avoid using too much detergent.
  5. Regular inspection of the heating element: This can help to detect any issues before they become serious enough to cause the AP error code. Check the heating element for any damage or malfunction and replace it if necessary.
