Samsung Dishwasher OE Error Code

What this error means

OE reports the water level above the safe threshold—often inlet valve stuck open, failed float switch, or suds mimicking high level. Samsung stops fill and may run drain to protect the kitchen floor.

Common causes

• Inlet valve solenoid stuck open after power surge
• Float or pressure sensor hose disconnected
• Excess detergent creating foam that reads as high water
• Drain failure leaving water from prior cycle plus new fill

Step-by-step fixes

1. 1Turn off the supply valve under the sink immediately
2. 2Cancel and run drain-only to lower the level
3. 3Inspect the float assembly in the tub bottom for free movement
4. 4Retry with half the recommended detergent on the next cycle
