Can I fix Samsung code LC myself?

Start with these safe checks: Turn the dishwasher off at the breaker, wipe up any water and look for a leak along the supply hose and its connections. Check you're using the right amount of automatic-dishwasher detergent, and on Waterwall models make sure nothing is blocking the reflector. Let it dry out for a while, then restore power and see if the code returns. If the code comes back, request service.

When should I call a technician for code LC?

If the code comes back, request service. Unplug it or switch the breaker off before you remove any panel. Don't test or replace wiring, control boards, heating elements or motors under power. If you see scorching, smell burning, or the breaker trips again, leave it off and call a qualified appliance technician or electrician.
