Samsung DW80K5050US user manual

There could be several reasons why your Samsung dishwasher keeps running:
1. Sensor Issues: The dishwasher uses sensors to detect how dirty the dishes are and adjusts the cycle length accordingly. If the sensors are faulty, they could cause the dishwasher to keep running.
2. Timer or Control Panel Issues: If the timer or control panel is malfunctioning, it may cause the dishwasher to keep running.
3. Wrong Cycle Settings: If you have accidentally set your dishwasher to a very long cycle, it might seem like it's continuously running.
4. Low Water Temperature: The dishwasher might keep running if the water temperature is not hot enough to properly clean the dishes.
5. Heating Element Failure: The dishwasher may run longer if the heating element isn't working properly, as it can't heat the water to the right temperature.
Additionally, older models may simply run longer than newer models. Consult the user manual or contact Samsung customer support for further advice.

To get your Samsung dishwasher to drain, you can try the following steps:
1. Check the filter: Make sure the filter is clean and not clogged. Pull out the bottom rack and locate the filter at the bottom of the dishwasher. Twist it counterclockwise to remove it and clean any debris or buildup. Rinse it under running water and reassemble it.
2. Check the drain hose: Ensure that the drain hose is free from any kinks or blockages. If you notice any obstructions, clear them by gently straightening the hose or removing the blockage.
3. Check the garbage disposal: If your dishwasher is connected to a garbage disposal unit, ensure that it is not clogged. Run the disposal to clear any debris or blockages.
4. Cancel any active cycles: If there is a wash cycle in progress, press the "Cancel" or "Reset" button to stop it. Once canceled, the drain pump will activate and begin draining the water.
5. Power reset: If the dishwasher is unresponsive, you can perform a power reset. Turn off the dishwasher at the main power source or unplug it for a few minutes. Then, plug it back in or turn the power back on. This can help resolve any minor software glitches.
If the above steps do not resolve the drainage issue, or if you're experiencing any other persistent problems, it is recommended to consult the user manual or contact Samsung customer support for further assistance.

The LC light on your Samsung dishwasher flashing could indicate various issues. Here are a few potential reasons:
1. Leakage: The LC light may flash if water is detected in the drip pan underneath the dishwasher. Check for any leaks around the base or near the door seals.
2. Blocked Filter: A clogged or blocked filter can trigger the LC light. Clean the filters properly by removing any food debris, residue, or foreign objects.
3. Drainage Problem: The dishwasher may not be draining correctly, causing the LC light to flash. Check for any obstructions in the drain line or garbage disposal connected to the dishwasher.
4. Water Supply Issue: The dishwasher might not be receiving adequate water supply, leading to the LC light flashing. Ensure the water supply valve is fully open and the inlet hose isn't kinked or blocked.
5. Sensor Malfunction: If none of the above issues seem to be the cause, there could be a malfunction with the dishwasher's sensors. In such cases, contacting Samsung customer support or a qualified technician would be recommended to diagnose and resolve the problem.
It's important to consult your dishwasher's user manual or contact Samsung's customer support for specific troubleshooting steps related to your model.
