# Samsung dishwasher error code PC

### What PC means on this make

Zone Wash concentrates pressure on one part of the rack, and it has its own valve to do it. This code belongs to that mechanism and to nothing else, which is a useful thing to know: the rest of the machine can be entirely healthy and it will still show this whenever the feature is asked for.

### 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

- Switch the machine off and start the cycle again.
- Try a normal cycle without Zone Wash and see whether the machine runs cleanly.
- If normal cycles are fine and only Zone Wash reports, the diverter valve is the repair.

### 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.
