oE Error Samsung Dishwasher

Thanks for the repair. I have a Samsung DW80F800 and after about a year, it started giving an oE code. I found the code went away if the sensor on the bottom of the Case Brake was disconnected. I found the sensor probes were showing about 250K ohms instead of showing open.

I poured some acetone into the sensor entry port and filled it until it was coming out of the sensor wire area. Swished it around for a couple minutes, drained and rinsed with water. The sensor then showed open on the ohmmeter and now the oE code is gone. Just did it this morning, so we’ll see how long this will work, but I see no reason why it shouldn’t.

I would assume the sensor probes and Brake had some kind of buildup allowing some conduction, which the washer took as a high water level. Rinsing with water didn’t work, but I’m sure there are other cleaning fluids besides acetone that would work.
