Samsung Older Samsung dishwashers, discontinued models fault codes
Not a range but a status. Samsung’s UK range turns over quickly, and the DW60M, DW60R and DW50R machines most owners have are no longer sold, though Samsung UK still list current dishwashers and keep the older manuals and support pages up. Parts availability on an older model is worth checking before paying for a diagnosis.
Codes on the Older Samsung dishwashers, discontinued models follow the same Samsung scheme as the rest of the range. Where a code behaves differently on this generation, the code page says so.
