Introduction
If your Samsung StormWash DW80R5061 is displaying a LC code and you have ruled out other possibilities through this Samsung Dishwasher LC Code guide, you may discover you need to replace the inner pump hose. This hose, Samsung part DD81-01502A, connects the drain pump to the water panel. This part is normally available online and may take a few days to ship to you.
Since the LC code (Leak Check) will cause your dishwasher to go into a constant drain cycle, you may want to disconnect it from the power source immediately. If your dishwasher is hard wired directly to your home, Step 1 will be different for you. You could refer to the dishwasher's installation guide or other iFixit guides for information on that process.
When you disconnect your dishwasher from the water source and when you tip it over, water may spill onto your floor. Be careful, don't slip! It is helpful to have towels on hand to absorb this water.
