Questions people ask
- What does BE mean on a Samsung dishwasher?
- The control panel thinks a button is being held down. No, but this is one of the least alarming codes on the machine. Nothing mechanical has failed. The panel is reporting a key it believes is pressed, and until it stops believing that, nothing else can be selected. Start here: press every button once, deliberately.
- What does BE mean on an LG dishwasher?
- The machine has detected far more foam than a wash should produce. Yes, once the foam is gone, and unusually for an error code this one is almost always free to fix. Nothing has broken. The machine stopped because suds stop water circulating properly and can push their way out of the door and into the base. Start here: work out what went into the dispenser.
Do not see your machine? We publish a brand only once its codes are confirmed against manufacturer documentation and a second independent source. That is slower than guessing, and it is the whole point of the site.
This is not a coincidence of one code: we compared every code that appears on more than one brand and found that several mean the opposite depending on the badge.
