How Samsung and Dacor appliances are built and what fails
Storms can set off Samsung refrigerator codes. A power surge or brownout during a storm can show as 83E, 85E or 86E. Tell us the code when you call.
A cold garage can stop a Samsung washer from running. Samsung washers need an ambient temperature above 32°F to operate.
A Samsung dryer in a garage has to sit off the floor. In a garage or other non-climate-controlled space, Samsung calls for the dryer to sit at least 18 inches up on a platform or pedestal.
French-door refrigerators with in-door ice makers, the Bespoke AI Laundry Combo and standard front-load and top-load washers, dryers, Waterwall and rotary dishwashers, slide-in electric ranges, and over-the-range microwaves
- Refrigerator
Frost in the ice room means warm air is getting in. On Samsung refrigerators with the ice maker in the door, frost or slushy ice in the ice room means warm air from the refrigerator is getting in. Samsung warns against melting it with a hair dryer, which can damage the refrigerator.
- Washer
The Laundry Combo cannot be tipped past 45 degrees. Samsung warns against tipping the Bespoke AI Laundry Combo 45 degrees or more, in a move or during installation, since that can let oil into the sealed system.
- Dryer
A built-in vent check. Many Samsung dryers measure how clogged the vent is and show it on the display.
- Dishwasher
LC or LE means the dishwasher found a leak. The leak sensor detects moisture and turns the dishwasher on by itself, refusing to shut off while it tries to drain the water away.
Professional, Contemporary and Transitional collections — French-door and column refrigeration, the DRZ18980 column freezer, the DRW24980 wine column, DDW24 dishwashers, dual-fuel and induction ranges with steam, wall ovens, cooktops and rangetops, and Microwave-In-A-Drawer and over-the-range convection hood models
- Oven and range
Steam is built into several ranges and wall ovens. 36- and 48-inch dual-fuel ranges (DOP36…, DOP48…) and 30-inch double and combination wall ovens add steam cooking, alongside a separate induction range. Tell us which cooking mode is acting up when you call.
- Refrigerator
iQ Remote View and a hidden control panel. Dacor column refrigerators have iQ Remote View with two cameras, Push-To-Open Door Assist, and a touch control panel at waist height.
- Refrigerator
Panel-ready units carry two model numbers. Model numbers starting DRR, DRF, DRW, DDW or DRZ also have a separate panel kit model number (RAC, RAW, RAF, RAT, DW) — have both ready when you call.
- Microwave
Two very different microwave builds. Dacor makes a Microwave-In-A-Drawer and an over-the-range convection hood microwave.
- Freezer
A standalone column freezer. The DRZ18980 is Dacor’s standalone column freezer, sold separately from its refrigerator and wine columns.
- Wine cooler
A three-zone wine column. The DRW24980 wine column cools three zones separately.

Samsung and Dacor repair questions
Are you part of the Samsung or Dacor service network?
No. SUNTECH is an independent repair company with no tie to Samsung Electronics America. While a unit is under the maker’s warranty, only companies Samsung or Dacor approved can do covered repairs.
My Samsung refrigerator shows OF OF, O FF or AP — is it broken?
No. OF OF, O FF and OFF OFF mean the fridge is in Cooling Off (Demo or Shop) mode, often left on after a trip; it will not cool, but no service is needed. AP means the unit is in Wi-Fi setup mode. Call if the display shows anything else.
What does the service call cost?
We tell you the fee when you call. If you go ahead with the repair, the service call fee is waived.
What warranty do I get?
3 months on labor for all appliances except high-end. On high-end appliances, parts are covered for 1 year.
