Samsung DW70H83YETRAA Repair

The machine in brief

The DW70H83YETRAA is a current Samsung dishwasher. The DW prefix identifies a dishwasher. For a built-in unit like this, the questions that matter most at the start are where the water is going and where it is coming from.

Leak or drain trouble?

Puddles at the toe kick and a tub that still holds grey water at the end of a cycle are two different problems, though one can cause the other. A leak sensor reaction is described on the LC leakage page, while a drain message is on the 5C drain page. A pump that struggles only briefly appears on the 5C2 page.

Likely causes in plain language

• Food debris in the filter or at the drain screen.
• A drain hose with a kink or a loop that is too low where it joins the sink drain or the disposal.
• A door seal worn or pushed out of its channel.
• A pump that hums but does not move water.

Kitchen details in older buildings

In San Francisco apartments the dishwasher often shares a drain with a disposal that has an unopened knockout, or a trap that clogs behind a cabinet. A new kitchen sink drain run can also route the hose in a way the machine dislikes. We look at the hookup as well as the dishwasher.

What you can do

1. Remove the lower rack and clean the filter you can see.
2. Look into the sink; run the disposal clear if you have one.
3. Wipe the door gasket and check it lies flat.
4. Dry the floor and note whether water appears while filling, washing or draining.

If water reaches the floor again, close the supply valve and stop using the machine.

What the visit looks like

The technician starts by asking when you first noticed the problem, then watches a cycle if it is safe to do so. A built-in dishwasher is pulled forward only after the water is shut off and the power is isolated, and the floor underneath is inspected for damage. You then receive a written estimate that explains the cause, and nothing proceeds without your agreement. Having the sink cleared and the cabinet under it emptied makes the visit shorter for everyone.
