Before you book,
in this order.

Each step comes from Samsung's own guidance for 1E on its dishwashers. Follow it to the end: the last card says whether this is a visit.

Switch the breaker off for 30 seconds and back on.

02

Empty the dishwasher, fill the detergent drawer and start a Normal cycle.

03

If 1E appears again, book a visit.

Still there?

It usually turns into heating and drying repair. Book with the code and the model number.

What not to do

Do not start cleaning filters for this one. On Rotary models the problem is temperature, not blockage.

In Samsung's own words

Rotary models: The temperature inside the dishwasher is too hot.
Samsung US support: dishwasher is displaying an error code

Every code on this site is taken from the manufacturer's documentation, never from a forum or a parts listing. Rotary models only; on Waterwall models 1E points at the filter instead.

Questions
about 1E.

Can I clear 1E myself?
Switch the breaker off for 30 seconds and back on. If it comes back, it needs a visit.
Should I clean the filter when my Samsung Rotary shows 1E?
On Rotary models 1E has nothing to do with the filter; it reports that the tub has gotten too hot. The first step is 30 seconds with the breaker off.
How do I check my Samsung Rotary after resetting a 1E?
Unload the dishes, fill the detergent dispenser and run a Normal cycle on the empty machine. A second 1E during that run is the sign to book service.

Still showing 1E?

Book with the characters exactly as shown, the full model number, and whether any water is on the floor — for a code, that is where the diagnosis begins.
