Samsung Dishwasher 1E (IE) Error Code

VERIFIED

Error code 1E, IE
Appliance Dishwasher

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:

  1. Turn off the power at the circuit breaker, leave it for 30 seconds, then turn it on.
  2. Take everything out of the dishwasher.
  3. Put detergent in the drawer and run a Normal cycle.
  4. Request service if the error returns.

Codes to compare

  • 1C: a low-water level check that also begins with the filter.
  • 3E: incoming water that is too hot.
