Samsung dishwasher code OC: too much water (overfill)

What it means

The dishwasher has more water inside than it expects.

What to try

Unplug the dishwasher before any step beyond a quick look, and turn the water off before touching hoses.

1. Cancel the cycle and check the floor for water.
2. Make sure you used dishwasher detergent, not hand dish soap, which foams and can overflow.
3. Clean the filters and run a drain or short cycle.
