What LC means
On the Samsung WD53DBA900H-series Bespoke AI Laundry Combo, such as the WD53DBA900HZA1, LC means the unit detected a water leak. The leakage sensor reports water where it should not be. Possible places include the heater connection, air hose, tub bolts, foaming, the detergent drawer hose, the drain pump filter cover, the drain hose and the duct and condenser connections. You will see LC on the display and the cycle stops.
Common causes of LC
- Drain pump filter cover not seated or loose
- Excess foam from too much detergent
- Hose connection at the drawer, drain or air hose
- Leakage sensor
- Condenser duct connection
1. Turn the unit off and look for water on the floor, at the front and at the back. 2. Check that the drain pump filter cover is closed firmly. 3. Wipe up water to prevent slipping. 4. If you see a lot of suds, use less detergent next time. 5. If water came from inside the unit, keep it unplugged until it is inspected.
- The leakage sensor shows only that water was detected, so we trace the path to the source.
- We check each hose and cover connection before pointing to a part.
- Before we fix a leak path you approve a written price, and our workmanship is warranted for 30 days.
Other Washer-Dryer Combo codes
Can foam trigger an LC code?
Yes. Too much detergent makes foam that can reach the leakage sensor. Use the amount marked for the load and a suitable detergent. Rinse the drawer area as well, because leftover detergent can build up and foam again.
Is it safe to run the unit with LC showing?
No. Water can reach the floor or electrical parts. Turn it off and have it checked. Even a small amount of water at the base can spread under the unit, so wipe it up quickly and keep children and pets away from it.
How do you find the leak?
We check the filter cover, hoses, drawer connection and condenser duct one by one, then test the sensor so the code does not return. We also look at the door seal area and the drawer, then dry everything before the test run.
Still seeing LC?
A technician diagnoses it on site and gives you the price in writing before any work starts.
