Samsung Dishwasher Parts Guides — Complete Parts Guide

Twelve parts guides, and one of them is named for a job most dishwasher parts lists ignore: the drying fan. Drying is a subsystem in its own right here, made up of that fan, the heating element and the thermostat. The filter guide covers cleaning as well as replacement. The rest are the drain pump, the wash motor, the water inlet valve, the door latch, the door gasket, the switch, the sensor and the control board.

Because drying has its own parts, it deserves its own diagnosis rather than being folded into the heating element. Dishes that come out wet while the wash is otherwise fine point at the drying fan and the thermostat before the element, and rinse aid affects the result as much as either. Dirty dishes are a different subsystem: filter, spray path, then the wash motor. Standing water is a third: filter, hose, then the drain pump. Each of those starts with something free to check.

This appliance has no gas supply and no refrigerant circuit, so the two stopping points are the junction box, which stays live with the door open, and the control board. The breaker is what makes the machine safe to open, not the cancel button. EasyBear services Samsung dishwashers throughout Sacramento and the Bay Area when a part is confirmed but the access is the expensive half.
