Stop the cycle and note which program was running when the code appeared. If it comes back, it needs a visit. ### Is 0C written with a zero a different code from OC on my Samsung? No, Samsung uses OC, 0C and oE for one and the same problem: too much water in the tub. The shape of the first character depends only on the display. ### What is worth noting down when OC shows on a Samsung? Record the program that was running at the moment the code appeared, since that helps whoever looks at it. Samsung's error page links to drain and overflow checks for each model, and a tub that keeps overfilling needs service. --- **[Read on the site: Samsung dishwasher showing OC | DishwasherRepair.center](https://dishwasherrepair.center/error-codes/samsung-oc/)** **[Book a visit with DishwasherRepair.center](https://dishwasherrepair.center/schedule/)**
