Heavy and Express 60 \u2013 Unable to Heat<\/h3>\n
The dishwasher must heat the water in the washer for it to operate properly. If this does not happen with your dishwasher, then you need to request service by calling the customer support desk. A qualified technician needs to diagnose and fix the error.<\/p>\n
Before you jump to any conclusions, you need to make sure that the heavy and express 60 error code you receive is accurate. You may get this code by mistake so it’s best to make sure.

There are a few reasons why your heating element will be malfunctioning with the most common one being issues with your water heater. If your water heater is tankless, then the minimum flow rate might cause problems for your dishwasher – that’ll cause the heating systems to activate but your dishwasher still won’t be able to get any hot water. If you run the dishwasher, this could cause the heater element and heater relay to fail.<\/p>\n
If you use an instant water heater aka a tankless water heater, the heating element in your Samsung dishwasher could instantly break down.

This will happen each time you use your dishwasher and it could cause the heater really to eventually fail.<\/p>\n
