Samsung Dishwasher 5C2 Error Code

VERIFIED

Error code 5C2
Appliance Dishwasher

What triggers 5C2

Samsung’s UK table carries this entry. During draining the pump may never start, may run for only a moment, or may stall midway.

Samsung’s sequence

  1. Try forcing a drain, say by cancelling the running cycle, while you listen for the pump.
  2. Make sure the power is disconnected, and then pull the lower rack and the filter out.
  3. Examine the sump. Objects, food sludge, labels and bones can all jam the impeller.
