Error code1E, IE
ApplianceDishwasher
One code, two dishwasher types
Samsung’s US guide gives 1E, which can also read IE, a different meaning depending on whether the machine is a Waterwall or a Rotary model. The guide also cautions against wiping a code away before troubleshooting, because the underlying cause stays and the error can come back.
Waterwall models
The code says water is not passing through the filter. Follow your user manual to clean the fine filter at the bottom of the tub. Request service if the code shows up again afterward.
Rotary models
Here 1E is a high temperature heater error: the interior is too hot. Samsung’s sequence:
Turn off the power at the circuit breaker, leave it for 30 seconds, then turn it on.
Take everything out of the dishwasher.
Put detergent in the drawer and run a Normal cycle.
Request service if the error returns.
Codes to compare
1C: a low-water level check that also begins with the filter.
For 1E on a Samsung dishwasher in San Francisco, start with Samsung dishwasher repair or phone (415) 969-6153. Tell us whether it is a Waterwall or Rotary model, along with the code and what you ran.
Model compatibility: Samsung reuses codes across series and model years, so 1E, IE may mean something different on another appliance or generation. Confirm this against your model’s documentation and record your full model number before acting.
Plain language
What this code means
1E (IE) is a clogged filter on Waterwall dishwashers and a high temperature heater error on Rotary dishwashers.
Important safety warning. Do not attempt repairs involving electrical components, gas, water lines, refrigerant or sealed systems. Unplug the appliance if it is safe to reach the outlet, and leave internal diagnostics to a qualified technician.
