Error code6C / BE Stuck button
ApplianceDishwasher
Quick answer
6C (also BE) on a Samsung dishwasher means the control senses a key that is permanently pressed. Checking each button is the first step.
Model compatibility: Samsung reuses codes across series and model years, so 6C / BE Stuck button 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
The control detects one or more keys permanently pressed, a stuck button.
A Samsung dishwasher showing 6C, or BE on some displays, is reporting that the control senses one or more keys held down all the time. The dishwasher may beep, ignore commands, pick options by itself or refuse to start. The code belongs to the current dishwashers that have a digital display; models without a display use blinking lights instead.
Confirm it at the panel
Power the dishwasher on and watch the panel without touching it. A cycle option that lights up at once and will not deselect, or constant beeping as if a key were being held, points to a stuck key.
Check every button
Press each physical button one by one. Each one should move freely and return to its original position. Look for any button that feels stuck in the down position or has poor travel. If the code keeps coming back, contact Samsung Support.
Codes that look alike
6C1: a fault with the detergent dispenser motor, easy to mix up with 6C
7C: the dishwasher tries to move the bar, then stops, with no spray action
5C: a drain error where the dishwasher cannot drain
