Quick answer
Samsung dishwasher PE: half load function error; AU page lists a dividing valve check.
Model compatibility: Samsung reuses codes across series and model years, so PE 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
Half load function error (US); dividing valve check (AU).
PE is a half load function error on Samsung’s US page: the half load function is not performing correctly. The Australian page lists PE with PC as a dividing valve check.
Steps
Empty the dishwasher, add detergent and run a half load cycle. If PE appears again, switch off power at the circuit breaker and request service.
