Samsung DW80F800UWS/AA-00 dishwasher Parts

Yes. Your Samsung DW80F800UWS dishwasher uses a self-cleaning filter system that keeps food waste inside while the dishwasher runs, then drains it out automatically with the wash water. For care and cleaning details, follow the steps in the DW80F800UWS owner's manual.

What “self-cleaning filter” means on this model

A self-cleaning filter reduces routine filter maintenance, but it does not eliminate it. If you notice poor cleaning, grit in the tub, or drain issues, we recommend checking the filter area and sump for debris.

• Scrape heavy food from dishes before loading
• Keep labels, glass shards, and bones out of the tub
• Run hot water at the sink briefly before starting a cycle (helps wash performance)
• Clean the tub and spray areas periodically
• If draining is slow, inspect the drain path and hose routing

Quick check: when to inspect the filter area

Use this as a simple guide for DW80F800UWS symptoms.

What you notice	Most common cause	What to do next
Grit or food bits left behind	Debris recirculating in sump area	Inspect and rinse the filter area; clean the tub
Dishwasher not draining well	Clog or kink in drain path	Check hose routing; clear blockage
Cycle stops with a drain-related error	Drain restriction or pump issue	Clear drain path; then retry cycle
Odor	Food residue buildup	Run a cleaning cycle; clean interior surfaces

Related troubleshooting that often gets mistaken for a “bad filter”

If the dishwasher will not drain, the issue is usually in the drain path, not the filter itself. Start with the basics:

• Check for a kinked or crushed drain hose
• Confirm the sink drain or disposer inlet is not blocked
• Look for standing water and remove any visible debris
• If you need a replacement hose for DW80F800UWS, use the correct part such as the dishwasher drain hose DD67-00059A

For step-by-step help, use dishwasher not draining video.

Why it matters

A clear filter and drain path protects the wash pump, improves cleaning results, and prevents drain errors. Keeping food scraps out of the system also helps your Samsung dishwasher run quieter and more efficiently.

For the Samsung DW80F800UWS dishwasher, the built-in diagnostics are accessed from the control panel using a specific button sequence. We recommend following the exact steps in the DW80F800UWS owner's manual so you enter the correct test mode for your panel style and read any information codes correctly.

Before you start (quick safety and setup)

• Make sure the dishwasher door is fully closed and latched.
• Remove standing water from the tub if the unit previously stopped mid-cycle.
• Use Cancel/Drain first if the control is showing an information code.
• Keep the tub empty for testing unless the manual says to add detergent for a functional test.
• If you need to stop a test, use Cancel/Drain and wait for the drain to finish.

How diagnostics relates to information codes

On this model, the control panel displays information codes to tell you what the dishwasher is sensing (water supply, drain, leak, heater, temperature, communication, and button errors). When a code appears, the standard first step is:

1. Select Cancel/Drain.
2. Follow the troubleshooting steps for that specific code in the manual.

If you want a faster way to interpret what you see on the display, use our Samsung dishwasher error codes reference alongside the manual.

What to check based on what the test shows

What you observe	What it usually points to	What to check first
Won’t fill or fill-related code	Water supply issue	Supply valve open, inlet screen/line clear
Won’t drain or drain-related code	Drain path restriction	Drain hose routing, sink/disposer connection
Leak-related code	Water in base or leak detection	Check for suds, loose hoses, water in base pan
Heater/temperature-related code	Heating circuit or water temp	Incoming water not excessively hot, cycle restarts

Parts that commonly relate to diagnostic results

If diagnostics or an information code points to one of these areas, these are common replacement parts for DW80F800UWS:

• Water fill problems: dishwasher water inlet valve DD62-00084A
• Drain problems: dishwasher drain hose DD67-00059A
• Leak detection: dishwasher leak detector sensor DD94-01062A

Why it matters

Running diagnostics the right way helps you avoid replacing the wrong part. On Samsung dishwashers, the information code you see after a failure is often the most direct clue to whether the issue is fill, drain, leak detection, or heating.

For the Samsung DW80F800UWS dishwasher, the most reliable “hard reset” is a power reset: turn the dishwasher off, cut power at the breaker (or unplug it) for 5 minutes, then restore power and start a cycle. If the controls are locked, unlock Child Lock first.

Hard reset steps (power reset)

• Press Power to turn the dishwasher off.
• Turn OFF the dishwasher circuit breaker (or unplug the power cord, if accessible).
• Wait 5 minutes.
• Restore power.
• Select a cycle and press Start/Drain, then close the door to begin.

If it still will not start (common causes)

The DW80F800UWS can look “frozen” when it is actually locked out or not meeting a start condition.

• Child Lock is on: hold Child Lock for 3 seconds to unlock.
• Door not fully latched: close firmly until it latches.
• No cycle selected: choose a cycle before pressing Start/Drain.
• No power: reset the house breaker and confirm the dishwasher has power.
• Water supply off: verify the shutoff valve is open.

Cancel and drain (useful after an error)

If the dishwasher is mid-cycle or showing an information code, canceling and draining can clear the current operation.

• With the door open, hold Start/Drain for 3 seconds to cancel and drain.

Quick reference table

What you want to do	What to press/do	What it fixes
Hard reset	Breaker OFF 5 minutes, then ON	Control glitches, stuck logic
Unlock controls	Child Lock 3 seconds	Locked control panel
Stop current cycle	Start/Drain 3 seconds	Clears a running cycle and drains
Diagnose codes	Check the DW80F800UWS manual info codes section	Points to water, drain, leak, heater issues

Why it matters

A true power reset clears the control board’s temporary state. If the issue is a start condition (door latch, Child Lock, water supply) or an active fault, the dishwasher will act “not reset” until that condition is corrected.

Common problems we see with the Samsung DW80F800UWS dishwasher are not draining, poor cleaning from blocked spray nozzles, and drying issues tied to loading and rinse aid use. Many symptoms trace back to clogs, a kinked drain hose, or dishes blocking spray arm rotation; see the DW80F800UWS owner's manual for model-specific troubleshooting steps.

Most common symptoms and what usually causes them

• Won’t drain or drains slowly: drain path clogged, drain hose kinked or folded, or debris in the pump chamber.
• Not cleaning well: nozzle holes clogged with food particles, or a dish/pot blocks the spray arm so it cannot rotate.
• Not drying well: rinse aid empty, items loaded in a way that traps water, or unloading order causes water to drip onto lower-rack dishes.
• Leaks or water in the base: a leak condition can trigger safety shutoff; checking for standing water and obvious drips helps narrow it down.
• Lights flashing or error codes: often tied to fill, drain, or functional errors; use the code list to pinpoint the system involved.

Quick checks we recommend first (safe, no tools)

1. Remove lower rack; spin spray arms by hand to confirm nothing interferes.
2. Clean spray nozzle holes (food and mineral buildup are common).
3. Inspect the drain hose routing for kinks and high-loop/air-gap issues.
4. Run a cleaning cycle: place a glass with about 8 oz of vinegar upright in the lower rack and run Normal with the dishwasher empty.
5. Confirm rinse aid is filled (liquid rinse aid improves drying).

Symptom-to-part areas (helpful for diagnosis)

Symptom	Most likely area	Example part for this model
Won’t drain	Drain hose, pump area	Dishwasher drain hose DD67-00059A
Not filling	Water supply, inlet valve	Dishwasher water inlet valve DD62-00084A
Leaking/shuts off	Leak detection circuit	Dishwasher leak detector sensor DD94-01062A

Why it matters

Catches like a clogged nozzle or kinked drain hose can make the DW80F800UWS seem like it has a major failure, but correcting water flow (fill, spray, drain) restores cleaning performance and prevents repeat error codes.

For code-specific guidance, we use the Samsung dishwasher error codes reference to match the displayed code to the most likely system.

Most Samsung dishwashers, including the Samsung DW80F800UWS, typically last 8 to 12 years with normal household use. Consistent cleaning, correct detergent use, and fixing small problems early help you reach the longer end of that range; hard water and heavy daily loads shorten it.

What affects lifespan the most

• Water quality: Hard water speeds up mineral buildup on the spray system and internal seals.
• Cleaning and maintenance: Regular cleaning reduces clogs and strain on the drain system.
• Loading habits: Overloading can block spray arms and increase wear on racks and rollers.
• Drying and venting: Keeping the vent path clear supports better drying and reduces moisture issues.
• Early repairs: Replacing a worn seal, hose, or sensor prevents bigger failures.

Quick maintenance checklist (best ROI)

Use the steps and intervals in the DW80F800UWS user manual.

• Run a dishwasher cleaner cycle periodically to reduce grease and odor.
• Check the bottom area for debris after heavy soil loads.
• Keep the door sealing surfaces clean and wipe standing water.
• Confirm the drain hose routing is not kinked or crushed.
• Use rinse aid if you see spotting or poor drying.

Common “wear items” and what they usually cause

Wear item	Typical symptom	Why it matters
Door switch	Won’t start or stops mid-cycle	The control must sense a fully latched door
Drain hose	Not draining, leaks under sink	Poor draining strains the pump and leaves dirty water
Water inlet valve	Slow fill, no fill, weak wash	Low water level reduces cleaning performance
Leak detector sensor	Stops and drains, may show leak-related behavior	Protects the base from overflow damage

If you’re troubleshooting a no-start condition, follow the checks in the dishwasher wont start video.

Why it matters

A dishwasher that is maintained and repaired promptly cleans better, runs quieter, and avoids secondary damage to the pump, control board, and tub components. That is the difference between replacing a small part now and replacing a major assembly later.

If your Samsung DW80F800UWS dishwasher is holding water in the bottom, it is usually caused by a drain problem (a clogged or folded drain hose, a blocked sink/disposer connection, or an incomplete cycle that left water behind). Use the checks in the DW80F800UWS owner's manual to confirm the drain path is clear.

Quick checks that fix most “water in the bottom” issues

• Cancel the cycle and let the unit drain; water left after an interrupted cycle is common.
• Check the drain hose under the sink for kinks, pinches, or a sharp bend.
• Make sure the hose is routed high (a high loop) and the connection at the sink/disposer is not blocked.
• If you have a garbage disposer, confirm the dishwasher inlet plug was removed.
• Clean out any food debris at the bottom of the tub and around the sump area.

What to inspect (and what it points to)

What you see	Most likely cause	What to do next
Water remains after every cycle	Drain hose clogged or folded	Inspect and clear the hose; replace if damaged
Water only after you stop a cycle early	Incomplete cycle	Run a full cycle and verify it drains
Slow drain and sink drains slowly too	Sink/disposer restriction	Clear the sink drain/disposer inlet
Standing water plus a drain-related code	Drain error condition	Follow the troubleshooting steps in the manual

Parts that commonly relate to draining

If the hose is split, soft, or won’t clear, replacement is the reliable fix.

• Dishwasher drain hose dd81-02331a
• Dishwasher inner drain hose DD81-01502A

Why it matters

Standing water can redeposit soil on dishes, create odors, and trigger drain errors. Restoring a clear drain path helps the pump move water out quickly and keeps wash performance consistent.
