Don&#8217;t worry, this is a problem that you can fix yourself without the need for a costly service call and we\u2019re here to help you do it!<\/span><\/p>\n<p><em><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The error code information provided in this article may not apply to your specific appliance model. The disassembly information is based on models starting with DW80R9. While we strive to offer helpful advice for DIY appliance repairs, variations in models and configurations can lead to differences in troubleshooting steps, error codes and part replacements. For the most accurate guidance, we strongly recommend consulting the technical sheet for your specific appliance model.<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Potential causes<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Error code 3C on a Samsung dishwasher indicates an issue with the circulation pump. Specifically, it means that the main control board is receiving a circulation pump speed signal that is less than 2000 rpm for at least 3 seconds.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The circulation pump is responsible for circulating the water during the washing and rinsing cycles. If the pump is not able to maintain a minimum speed of 2000 rpm for a sustained period, it suggests a problem with the pump or the electrical connection to it.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Some possible causes of this error code include:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Faulty circulation pump: The pump motor may be malfunctioning or worn out, preventing it from reaching the required speed.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Clogged or blocked pump: Debris or food particles can get stuck in the pump, causing it to work harder and fail to reach the minimum speed.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Electrical issues: Problems with the wiring, connections, or the main control board itself can lead to the pump not receiving the proper electrical signal to maintain the required speed.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Bad main control board: A faulty or malfunctioning main control board can also cause issues with the circulation pump speed signal, leading to the 3C error code.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Safety precautions<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">When working on any appliance, remember to keep safety first. Here are some tips to keep in mind:\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Always power off and unplug your appliance or switch off the circuit breaker before attempting any maintenance or replacement work. This keeps you safe by preventing any risk of injury from electric shock.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Wear insulated work gloves to protect your hands from sharp metal parts, pinching hazards and debris.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Take your time and don\u2019t rush while working to prevent accidents and personal injuries.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Work in a well-lit area so you can clearly see and access the interior parts.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Clear your workspace of clutter and other obstacles. Keep children and pets away from the work area.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Never work on internal parts with bare wet hands. Make sure the work area is completely dry.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Check your user manual to see if there are specific installation or safety instructions for your part or appliance.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Be gentle when handling or removing parts. Excessive force might damage the appliance or cause injury.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Wear safety glasses when working with chemicals, dust or cleaning large debris to prevent injury.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">If the appliance has recently been used, give it plenty of time for any heating parts to cool down before working on it.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Take pictures or make a note of wiring terminals or other connections before disconnecting to prevent any problems with reassembly.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">When working with wires, avoid touching any exposed wires or terminals. If you need to touch a wire, use a non-conductive tool or wear insulating gloves to prevent electrical shock.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Turn off the water supply at the outlet before beginning repairs to any appliance parts that hold water. Have towels ready for any residual water in the system when removing parts.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Troubleshooting steps<\/span><\/h2>\n<ol>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Disconnect the water supply and drain connections to the dishwasher.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Disconnect the power supply to the dishwasher.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Remove the dishwasher from the cabinet by unscrewing it from the surrounding cabinetry.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Carefully lay the dishwasher on its back to access the base cover.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Remove the base cover to expose the circulation pump and wiring connections.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Check the circulation hose and pump for any foreign material or debris. Remove any obstructions found.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Visually inspect the circulation pump for any signs of damage or wear.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Check the wiring connector for the circulation pump.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">If any of the connections are loose, reconnect them properly.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">If the wiring appears damaged, replace the wiring harness.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Test the circulation pump<\/span><\/h3>\n<ol>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Disconnect the wiring connector from the circulation pump.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Use a multimeter to measure the resistance across the pump terminals.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The expected resistance should be approximately 5.8 ohms.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">If the resistance is outside the normal range, replace the circulation pump.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Check the main control board<\/span><\/h3>\n<ol>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Locate the main control board at the bottom of the door.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Check for a red LED light below the door with power reconnected to the appliance. This LED indicates the status of the main control board.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">If the red LED is off, the main control board is faulty and needs to be replaced.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Additional information<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Thank you for reading!
