Samsung Dishwasher OC code: Overfill error

The dishwasher detected too much water in the tub. Samsung handles this the same way as a drain problem.

Most common causes

  1. Water not draining between fills because of a clog
  2. Inlet valve not shutting off completely
  3. Faulty water level sensor
  4. Too many suds from the wrong detergent

What you can safely check yourself

  1. Clean the filter and sump area.
  2. Check the drain hose for kinks and make sure the sink drain is clear.
  3. Use only automatic-dishwasher detergent.

Unplug the appliance before moving or cleaning anything. Do not open panels, touch gas connections or bypass safety switches.
