What the appliance detected
Detected condition
The Zone Wash function is not operating correctly.
What may contribute
Possible causes
- The dishwasher detected that the Zone Wash function did not operate correctly.
- An internal wash-distribution, sensing, control, or wiring condition may require qualified diagnosis if PC returns.
Start conservatively
Safe preliminary checks
Work in order and stop whenever a step is not supported by the documentation for your model.
Confirm the model actually has Zone Wash
- Record PC and confirm the full model number.
- Use the exact Samsung manual to verify the Zone Wash feature and normal control operation.
Try the Samsung-documented restart once
- Turn the dishwasher off, then try to start the cycle again once.
- If PC returns, stop troubleshooting at the user controls.
Escalate a persistent PC code
- Request Samsung service if the code remains or returns.
- Leave internal wash-distribution, pump, valve, sensor, and wiring diagnosis to a technician.
Actions not recommended
- Do not access or force internal diverter, pump, valve, or spray-system parts.
- Do not run hidden service modes or bypass sensors.
- Do not replace parts based on PC alone.
When to stop and request service
- PC returns after the single documented restart.
- Zone Wash does not operate normally or unusual noises/leaks accompany the code.
- Any next step requires internal water-distribution, sensor, wiring, or control access.
