Quick answer
Samsung dishwasher OC, 0C, oE: more water in the dishwasher than expected.
Model compatibility: Samsung reuses codes across series and model years, so OC, 0C, oE may mean something different on another appliance or generation. Confirm this against your model’s documentation and record your full model number before acting.
Plain language
What this code means
Over-level water: more water than expected is present.
OC, 0C and oE all mean the same thing on a Samsung dishwasher: there is more water in the tub than there should be.
What Samsung says
Samsung’s US page sends owners to its guide for dishwasher drain and overflow errors. It gives no other owner steps for this code, so a repeating display is a reason to request service.
