Samsung dishwasher codes Error E08/E16/E30/E35/E47 typically point to a drain or circulation pump malfunction. When your dishwasher displays one of these codes, it’s signaling that water cannot properly move—either because the pump is jammed, blocked, or failing completely.
Safety First: What You Should Do
Unplug the machine or turn off the breaker before touching anything inside.
Disconnect the water supply if you’re opening the lower panel.
Only attempt repairs if you’re comfortable working with electrical parts and water systems.
DIY Troubleshooting Steps
Inspect and Remove Debris
Open the bottom drawer/filters and take out stray food particles, utensils, or grit.
Clear out the sump area and filter screen beneath; a lodged shard or fragment can jam the pump impeller and trigger an error.
Check the Drain Hose
The common cause for an E30/E35 code is a clogged or kinked drain hose.
Detach the hose (after turning off the water) and blow through it or run clean water to check for blockage.
Test the Pump Impeller
Access the pump motor by removing the base panel.
Carefully remove the cover and confirm the impeller can spin freely by hand.
A stuck or stripped impeller means the pump needs replacing.
Examine the Water Circulation Pump
Codes like E08 or E16 may mean the circulation pump is failing.
If you hear a humming sound with no spinning, or if the motor doesn’t run at all, the component is likely defective.
Electrical Checks (Optional, for Experienced DIYers)
Use a multimeter to test continuity across the pump motor terminals. A lack of continuity usually indicates burnout.
Inspect wiring connectors and the control board in transfer to ensure no loose or burnt wires.
When to Call a Professional
If, after cleaning and inspection, the issue persists—or if you’re not comfortable poking around internal wiring—it’s wise to call a certified technician. Trying to fix a pump issue improperly can lead to further damage, water leaks, or void your warranty.
