# Samsung dishwasher error code 9E

### What 9E means on this make

The machine filled, measured, and found too little. It sits next to the water supply error and the two overlap: a slow fill can present as either. Where they differ is that this one can also be a leak that is losing water as fast as the machine adds it, which is worth ruling out early because a slow leak into a cabinet is expensive in a way a service call is not.

### Where this appears, and why not to clear it

On the appliance’s own display. Samsung reports errors two ways: machines with a digital display show a code, and the same machines without one blink their cycle lights instead. Both are published by the maker and both are on this site. Photograph what the panel shows before cutting the power — Samsung asks for this itself on its refrigerator and dishwasher pages, and it is the one thing that makes a first visit more useful. A code that has been reset is information a technician no longer has.

### What to do about it

- Empty the machine, add detergent and run a normal cycle to see whether it repeats.
- Check under and behind the machine for any sign of water.
- Confirm the supply valve is fully open and the hose is not kinked.
- If it repeats with good supply and no leak, cut power at the breaker and have it measured.

### Where this goes next

The job this usually becomes is [dishwasher wash performance service](/services/dishwasher-wash-performance-service/), and that page carries a starting figure and the reasons that move it. If it turns out to be nothing — and on this make a real share of these are modes, reminders and settings rather than problems — the visit ends there and you pay the diagnostic and nothing else, or call [(305) 506-1256](tel:+13055061256) and describe what the panel is doing before booking anything.
