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 HC/IE error code. In this article, we will provide a comprehensive guide to the Samsung Dishwasher HC/IE 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 HC/IE error code appears when the control panel is unable to communicate with the rest od the dishwasher. Turn odd the dishwasher and try to start it again.

 

What Causes the Samsung Dishwasher HC/IE Error Code?

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

 The HC/IE 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 HC/IE Error Code

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

The HC, 1E, or IE error code appears when the temperature inside the dishwasher is too hot (Rotary models). Switch the power to the dishwasher off (30 seconds) and then on again, at the circuit breaker. Empty the dishwasher, fill the detergent drawer, and then start a normal cycle. 

 

Prevention of Samsung Dishwasher HC/IE Error Code

Some steps you can take to prevent the HE/IE 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 HC/IE 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 HC/IE 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 HC/IE error code. Check the heating element for any damage or malfunction and replace it if necessary.
