Today, I learned how to get around saving money on repairing or replacing our Samsung DMR dishwasher by using an electric fan. Over 3 years ago, I took the chance on the Samsung dishwasher from Lowes. The amount of dishes it holds and the silence of the machine is true to its hype. I also like how well it cleans the dishes, even without much pre-rinsing or pre-scrubbing. (Perfect for lazy owners and a setup where the kitchen, dining room and living room all share one great space.) However, I'm irritated with the front-facing buttons that are so sensitive that it turns on/off when someone gets any close to it. As much energy I'm saving from this machine, I feel I'm spending multiple from all those accidental start and stop.
Last night, the LE error showed up when I turned on the machine. What does this mean? I looked it up online and most of the posts I ran into were mostly complaints about Samsung's awful customer service, cost of getting it repaired by repairmen who can't really fix it, and what a scam Lowes is. The most important piece I learned is that LE means LEAK. Luckily, there didn't seem to be a leak. I conclude this because everything is dry around the dishwasher and under my sink. The hose looks clean and barely touched by anything.
Instead of calling Samsung or a repairman, I grabbed a small electric fan, placed it inside, and faced it to the center base of the dishwasher. (I removed the bottom rack.) I fanned it for about 4 hours... and BAM! Fixed!
Good luck on yours!
