Samsung dishwasher would start then stop after about 5-min. I had two lights blinking. ((Smart auto & normal)) I replaced another part but then I asked Ryan @parts dr. To look up the problem he found that it was the temperature sensor. I got the part in a couple days put it in & it works fine.. Parts Dr. Is a Great place to buy parts & get the help you need..I highly recommend them..

Screwdriver, wrench.

This part is located on the bottom of the dishwasher((for my model)) but very easy to install. It took longer to get the dishwasher out than it did to replace the part.

Dishwasher would not drain error code: 1e

Pliers, screwdriver

My Samsung dishwasher kept giving a 1e error code when we tried to wash dishes. In addition, the dishwasher would collect water at the bottom. Checked sump and everything was clear. So I read online that the sensor needed to be changed. Had to enter through the right side of dishwasher and remove old sensor. I have big hands, so I had to solicit the help of my wife and she was able to turn and remove it. However, we had a little trouble getting it back in as it required more hand strength. As a result, I held the sensor with pliers and replaced it.

The dishwasher would drain, fill, begin it's wash cycle then shuts down & flash an error code. (Two blinking LED's)

Lineman's pliers, screwdriver, and small pair of pliers.

Shut off the circuit breaker. Removed two screws from the dishwasher base plate. Removed the screw and cover from the electrical connection box on the bottom right of the dishwasher. Disconnected the electric cable from the dishwasher. Disconnected the drain hose from the sink basin. Noted that I has sufficient slack to the water hose for the dishwasher. Removed screws from the side of the door well that keep the dishwasher stable to the counter/cabinet wall. Pulled the dishwasher out from under the counter being careful of the electrical cable, the drain hose and water hose. Put down towels to catch the water as I tipped the dishwasher on it's side to expose the bottom plate. Removed two screws from the bottom plate exposing the old sensor. Separated the electrical connector for the existing sensor. With a small pair of pliers gently twisted the sensor and using only my fingers pulled the existing sensor from the socket. Placed the new O ring on the new sensor, wiped the O ring with a thin film of dish soap to allow it to slide int the socket a bit easier. Using only my fingers re installed the sensor in it's socket. (This took about 5 minutes using a bit of time pressure an finesse. The sensor has to line up with the existing slots on the socket and pushing the o ring in to seat the sensor had to be done by feel.) Once the sensor was set, it takes a slight twist to lock it in place. Reconnected the the sensor electrical connector. Replaced bottom plate. Re-installed base plate retainer screws. Slid dishwasher back under the counter, guiding the drain hose and water hose back to sink basin and keeping the electrical cable following the channel beneath the dishwasher. Reconnected the drain hose. Reconnected the electrical cable. Replaced the electric connection plate and screw. Replaced the base plate. Centered the dishwasher in the cabinet opening and re-secured the screws from the door well that keep the dishwasher stable to the counter/cabinet wall. Turned on the circuit breaker. Tested the dishwasher and it worked fine.
