Samsung Dishwasher bC3 (bE3) Error Code

VERIFIED

Error code bC3 / bE3
Appliance Dishwasher

Symptoms of bC3 and bE3

  • Constant beeping
  • Cycle options that light up unprompted
  • Taps the panel ignores

The trigger is frequently a damp wipe-down, a spill, steam, or shifting and refitting the dishwasher, according to Samsung.

Samsung’s remedy, step by step

  1. Wipe the touch area bone dry with a cloth that leaves no lint.
  2. Kill the power at the wall or breaker for half a minute or more and then restore it.
  3. Afterwards, favour quick taps over long presses.

Compare with

  • bC2: a button pressed beyond 30 seconds
  • bE: the panel finds a stuck button
  • CE: the panel and dishwasher cannot communicate

Model compatibility: Samsung reuses codes across series and model years, so bC3 / bE3 may mean something different on another appliance or generation. Confirm this against your model’s documentation and record your full model number before acting.
