Samsung DW80M9 Series Dishwasher- FAQs

Why does my Samsung dishwasher beep three times and stop?

If your dishwasher beeps three times and doesn’t start, the issue is likely with the door latch or alignment. Make sure the door is fully closed and properly latched before starting a cycle.

What is the difference between Auto and Eco modes?

Auto Mode: Detects how dirty the dishes are and adjusts the cycle automatically.
Eco Mode: Uses less power and water, making it ideal for cleaning normally soiled dishes in an energy-efficient way.

Why is my dishwasher beeping mid-cycle?

If the dishwasher beeps every 30 seconds or minute, it likely means the door was opened during a wash cycle. Close the door firmly to continue the cycle and stop the beeping.

Should I connect the dishwasher to hot or cold water?

Only connect to cold water. Samsung dishwashers heat water internally to the required temperature using a built-in heater, so a hot water connection isn’t needed or recommended.

Is Quick Wash or Eco mode better?

Eco mode is best for saving energy and water, but takes longer. Quick Wash (1-hour cycle) is faster and great for lightly soiled dishes you need cleaned in a hurry.

What do dishwasher-safe symbols mean?

Dishwasher-safe items usually have symbols like:
1. Plates with water droplets
2. Glasses with spray lines
3. A dishwasher outline
Common dishwasher-safe materials include ceramic, stainless steel, and certain plastics.

Why does my dishwasher stop after 10 minutes?

If your dishwasher runs briefly then shuts off, the problem could be a faulty door latch, motor, or control board. It’s best to have an electrician or technician diagnose the issue.

What is the 1-hour wash cycle?

The 1-hour cycle, or Quick Wash, cleans lightly soiled dishes quickly using more heat and water to shorten the duration while maintaining good cleaning performance.
