Samsung Samsung DW80R5060US StormWash 24 in. Dishwasher 7E Error Fix: Water Reflector Error (WaterWall Models)

The WaterWall reflector panel is not moving correctly. This applies only to Samsung WaterWall dishwashers (DW80H, DW80J, DW80M series) that use a linear wash bar instead of traditional spray arms. The reflector panel moves back and forth to direct water flow. If the panel is jammed, the motor has failed, or the position sensor is not reading, 7E appears. Check for obstructions on the reflector rail. Clean the rail guides.
