What does PE mean on a Samsung dishwasher?

Before booking a repair
- Confirm the displayed error code and your appliance model number.
- Check relevant external issues such as a blocked filter, kinked hose, open door, interrupted power, or restricted airflow.
- If a power reset is appropriate for the appliance, turn it off safely and restart it once.
- If the code returns, avoid repeated resets and arrange diagnosis.
Safety note

Do not open sealed, gas, high-voltage, or refrigerant systems unless qualified to service them.
