Error code tE
Appliance Dishwasher

On the US page from Samsung, tE stands for a fault in the temperature sensor. The dishwasher is getting a wrong reading for how warm it is inside.

Samsung’s sequence

  1. Unload everything from the tub.
  2. Put detergent in.
  3. Run a Normal cycle.
  4. Should tE stay, turn the power off at the breaker and request service.
