Samsung Bespoke DW80B7070 (DW80B7070US / AP) dishwasher: quick sheet

Covers: Samsung Bespoke 24 in DW80B7070* built-in dishwashers (US stainless and AP panel-ready variants with Bespoke color panels), StormWash+, Smart Dry with AutoRelease door. Samsung 'B' (2022) generation.

Cross-checkedBrands: Samsung8 components

A 42 dBA, 15-place-setting Samsung with stainless tub, three racks, StormWash+ with a rotating spray jet, Wi-Fi, a digital leak sensor and AutoRelease, which pops the door open near the end of the cycle to let steam out. Many 'not drying' and 'door won't stay shut' calls on this model are about AutoRelease settings, leveling or cabinet clearance.

Safety first

  • Breaker off before panels come off.
  • Close the water supply before valve work.
  • Let the heater area cool.
  • Do not force the door shut while the AutoRelease rods are extended.

How it works

Wash: StormWash+ uses upper, middle and lower wash arms plus a rotating spray jet for heavy soil. Programs listed: Auto, Normal, Heavy, Delicate, Express 60, Pre Blast and a downloadable cycle; options include Hi-Temp Wash, Sanitize (NSF), Lower Rack, Delay and Control Lock.

Heat: Samsung lists an 1100 W heater, a 60-100 W circulation motor and a 35 W drain pump on the spec sheet. Supply water should not be hotter than about 176 °F; Samsung flags overly hot supply as a code.

Smart Dry with AutoRelease: warm air is circulated and, during the last 5-15 minutes, an actuator pushes the door open about 5 inches. The setting must be on. While the rods are extended, forcing the door shut can damage the mechanism, and some Samsung manuals say the door cannot be closed for about 2 minutes after release.

Protection: a leak sensor in the base reports LC/LE; the control also watches fill (flow meter), drain and temperature and shows two-character codes.

Diagnostic guides for this appliance

Guide · Dishwasher

Dishwasher detergent dispenser won't open (detergent left in the cup)

First rule out blocking dishes, caked detergent and an unfinished cycle. Then test the dispenser actuator (a wax motor or bimetal/solenoid on most units) for an open circuit, and check whether the control sends 120 V to it during the wash. A cup that opens but leaves detergent behind is a wash problem, not a dispenser problem.

Gritty or sandy residue on dishes after washing

Grit is usually redeposited soil: a clogged filter, a drain that cannot clear (air gap, disposer, hose) or detergent that did not dissolve. Hard water causes white film rather than grit. Work from the filter outward, then check the drain path and the wash motor.

Dishwasher completely dead: no lights, no response (supply, door switch, thermal fuse)

Prove supply voltage at the junction box with a meter before blaming any part. Then check the door switch circuit and, on units that have one, the one-time thermal fuse near the control. Replace the control board only after these pass.
