If you’re staring at error code E05 on your Samsung dishwasher, it’s more than just a flashing number—it’s your machine telling you it’s having trouble with the water temperature. The good news? You might be able to fix it yourself. The better news? If not, our local Express repair team is always ready to help with same-day service.
Error code E05 signals a water temperature error, usually caused by one of the following:
Your dishwasher needs the right temperature to properly clean and sanitize your dishes. When the water isn’t hot enough, the system throws this code to prevent further cycles.
Before anything else, run the hot water in your kitchen sink. Does it get hot quickly? If not, your home’s hot water supply could be the issue.
Pro Tip: Try starting the dishwasher after running hot water at the sink for a minute or two.
If the water supply is hot but you’re still seeing E05, the internal heating element may be the culprit. It’s responsible for maintaining proper water temperature during the wash cycle.
If you’re handy, you can check this with a multimeter. But be cautious—dishwasher components can be tricky and delicate.
The thermistor (temperature sensor) monitors how hot the water is. If it’s giving false readings, your dishwasher could mistakenly think the water is too cold.
This part is usually located on the bottom of the tub and may need professional diagnosis.
Sometimes, a simple reset clears the error. Disconnect the dishwasher from power for 5 minutes, then plug it back in. If the error persists, deeper troubleshooting is likely needed.
