@chadleatherby3309 That's an excellent question. It might be possible, perhaps, to access this part from the back of the unit if you were to rotate it around after pulling it out of the cabinets. However, it might be challenging to really access the impeller or troubleshoot the drip pan sensor. If you are able to do it, please let me know. Did you end up figuring out what the issue was with your unit?

The impellor waa clean, but the pan had water in it for some reason that was tripping the sensor, the error message went away we'll see how it works

Yea its working good now just had to drain the pan on the bottom fingers crossed

​@chadleatherby3309 I'm glad you got your system working. That's interesting that the impeller looked ok. If the drip pan continues to fill up and trip the sensor, another part you might want to examine is the water inlet valve. Should that part be defective, please check out another video I have on my channel for how to replace it. If you need help troubleshooting, feel free to let me know and I'll be happy to help.

@@karatefox its still working for thanks

@04gtno Oh dang, I've been wondering whether or not that part was from the system. It may be worth noting that my water inlet valve also failed around this time and I ended up replacing that part. I wonder if it might be from there? Thanks for the information, hopefully we can eventually identify what that part does. Since doing my repairs, my dishwasher has been working great so hopefully the part isn't super necessary.

@@karatefox that's great to hear that yours is still working. Maybe that part isn't crucial to normal operation. I just put mine back in, but I'm a little concerned that it might come out again. I can't think of any good reason for that part to pop out, but I did blow compressed air through the back end of the drain tube to see if there was an obstruction, so I'm assuming when I did that it popped that piece out. Did you do anything like that also?

@04gtno Interesting, I didn't try clearing out tye drain tube, but during a different troubleshooting adventure I do remember being a lot of buildup inside the tube, which made me want to replace it-definitely recommend replacing those things every couple years 🤢. It's possible tye part was knocked loose from normal wear and tear from the system vibrating.

@Doreenmurphy-j9y that's awesome, Doreen, well done for troubleshooting it and finding the root cause. Thank you so much for leaving a comment, it's a great feeling knowing that I was able to help someone navigate through the process 😃

I'm happy you were able to get things working. Let me know if you need help troubleshooting in the future.👊

@michellesmall7527 Interesting. Is it like that after running a cycle, or do you find that condensation is accumulating even when the unit is not running? My first thought is that you might want to check the air vent on the front of the door of your dishwasher. The opening might be blocked, and is preventing moisture from properly venting.

@jangosquad4908 excellent, that's awesome you got it fixed. Thanks for stopping by to leave a comment 🙂

@jonathangray5350 Outstanding, happy you were able to get it working. Likewise thanks for leaving a comment. I read them all, and it always brightens my day knowing I've helped someone.👊

Thanks for checking it out, glad it was helpful.

That's awesome you got your system working. Was it a piece of plastic jamming the impeller?

Dang that's crazy. Were you able to just slide the impeller blade back on? Did you have to do anything else to make it stay on? Thanks for checking out my video.

I'm happy the video helped. Were you able to figure out the specific issue? Was it a piece of plastic jamming your impeller?

Thank you for taking the time to share a comment. It always makes my day when I hear that my video helped someone. Also, that's crazy how quickly time flies. Seems like it was just yesterday that I was troubleshooting it. Anyway, thanks for checking out my video, and I'm happy it helped 👊

That's outstanding, well done for successfully troubleshooting it. Also, thank you for taking the time to leave a comment. It really makes my day knowing I was able to help someone 👊

Excellent, I'm happy you were able to get things working. Just out of curiosity, what did you find blocking it? Was it glass or hard plastic?

@@karatefox it was a plastic piece

@jwylde7 Interesting, it seems like hard plastic fragments are fairly common. Once again, excellent work for getting your system working again. Feel free to reach out if you need help troubleshooting in the future 👊

Thank you so much for checking out my video. Just out of curiosity, was the impeller jammed?

@zackery773 oh dang, that seems to be a common failure mode for these systems. Well, if it happens again in the future, it's nice having that peace of mind knowing that you can get it fixed on your own. Thanks for checking out my video, I appreciate you leaving a comment 👊

Yes, tye blades should be able to freely rotate and move-this is normal. The blades are attached to a rotating circular plate which is connected to the motor. As the circular metal plate rotates, the blades are able to loosely chop into any foreign material in the drain without the blades sustaining damage from the impacts. If the blades collide with a hard object like glass or hard plastic, they can move slightly to lessen the impact to the blades and preserve the integrity of the system from wear and tear.

@@karatefoxthank You so much!! I got same brand new garbage disposal and believe it or not my first in my life. I look inside and think about that blades. Now I got it. Thank you again

@profesor245 Mine has been running well since I got it and installed it. I haven't had any issues with it and use it probably once a day, at least. Hopefully yours will give you many years of good use. Thanks for checking out my video and reach out anytime if you have any questions about troubleshooting it.

Thank you for checking out my video 🙂 Did you try making your own ocarina?

@@karatefox Of course! I've already made some, but cannot say their voice wonderful))) Hope you video help me)

That's awesome, did it work? I forget how much I spent for this one, but it was more than $11.

@@karatefox yes it worked. The machine has been up and running for three days now.

@@pete1729 Do you happen to have a link?

@@karatefox I removed the housing you showed and I noticed the house were clogged.

That's awesome you were able to get it working. Thanks for checking out my video. It's a great feeling knowing I've been able to help someone navigate through the process. Hopefully now it'll be easier to troubleshoot if a similar issue happens again.

@@karatefoxthanks for the fast reply. Just ordered the part needed. Hope it continues to work.

It's a wonderful feeling to get something working on your own, and the relief of not having to hand wash so many dishes. Thanks for checking out my video, I'm happy I could help 😀

That's good to know. Perhaps it's like an industry standard to use that part. It's a sturdy little impeller, and mine has weathered a few jam-ups already. Perhaps Samsung should evaluate their drain design and add a better filter to further prevent foreign material from colliding with the impeller. It seems to be a common failure mode.

Good question. I still haven't had any luck identifying it, but others in the comments have reported seeing the same piece. I feel like it may have come from the water inlet valve, which failed around the same time as this issue. Have you seen that part before? I'm super curious.

My similar dishwasher failed, but it is deeper in the guts of it and probably on the drain side. Same error code, impeller was clean. Unit was also damaged in shipping, so going to try and use the warranty.

@MorellioBenoir That's unfortunate that the unit arrived damaged. If the warranty still covers it, sending it back is definitely the way to go-even if it's a time-consuming process. Hopefully the replacement unit will work out. Please keep me posted 👊

Interesting, it sounds like there may be something jamming the impeller from the inside. How old is your system? When was the last time that it was working? What does it feel like once you turn the blades of the impeller? Is there friction after the half turn or does it just feel stuck like something isn't allowing it to make a full revolution?

It might be the magnets in the motor that give fairly stiff resistance every half turn - that's what they are supposed to do? But not rigid resistance. If so I guess one of the plastic waterproof seals has broken. It's fairly easy to dissemble and simply have a look inside. Take off the large grey plastic ring by prising gently with a large screwdriver, then grab the white, plastic seals with some suitable grips and pull.

I'm happy you were able to get it working. Thanks for checking out my video 👊

Thanks for checking out my video. What did you end up finding inside the impeller? Was it a piece of plastic similar to what I found?

Definitely good advice. It's surprising how much water those things can hold. Thanks for checking out my video.

Maybe

@@karatefox Sorry bro I didn't mean it in a negative way. I understand. Just was hard when I kept coming back after skipping thirty seconds and getting an ad while im in the middle of the install. sorry for my cynicism

Your video helped out a ton, actually. Thank you

@LuisGonzalez-zf2qy Never feel bad about speaking your mind. As far as the ad thingy, I recently grew my channel to the point where I can monetize it, which is cool. But I kind of don't fully know what I'm doing yet in terms of over or under-doing the whole ad thingy. It's definitely something to think about though. I appreciate the feedback, and I'm happy the video helped you to get things done 👊

Yes, absolutely. The flange maintains enough pressure to prevent water from leaking out but should be loose enough to be able to rotate the disposer to reattach the pipes. The white drain pipes should also be able to rotate slightly at their joints too.

You can do it 👊 feel free to leave any questions along the way and I'll be happy to help.
