DW80CG4051SR
Samsung DW80CG4051SR Third Rack Repair
Most common issues on this model
- Door release and latch at the end of the cycle
- Top tray rails and the spray that reaches utensils
- Water left in the tub after a cycle
- Heat and rinse stage when dishes stay wet
The DW80CG4051SR is a 24-inch built-in dishwasher from Samsung in a fingerprint-resistant finish, rated at 51 dBA. It combines an AutoRelease door, which opens when the cycle ends so dishes can dry, with a third rack for utensils and small items.
A third rack changes how we look at the wash. Utensils on the top tray rely on a spray that reaches them from the side, so a blocked nozzle or a rack that rides crookedly leaves them dirty while the lower racks look fine. Owners also report that the door sits shut at the end of the cycle, which points to the release latch.
We test the release and latch first, then run a cycle to inspect the top tray spray, the drain and the heat. We check the label for the model and serial before ordering parts, give you a written price in advance, and cover the work with a 30-day warranty.

Error codes this model can show
My utensils come out dirty from the top tray. Why?
The third rack depends on a separate spray path. We check the nozzle, the rack rails and the water supply to the tray, since a blockage there leaves the main racks clean.
What do you check if the AutoRelease door stays closed?
We test the latch, the release actuator and the door switch, and make sure the door is not rubbing. The door should open slightly when the cycle ends.
Is damp tableware a sign of a heater problem?
It can be. On a unit like this, we check the heating element and the rinse stage as well as the door release timing, because dishes dry best with a hot final rinse and an open door.
