How to Use the Auto Door Open Function on Samsung Dishwashers

Enable the Auto door open function on your Samsung dishwasher to enhance drying performance and reduce internal steam buildup after each cycle.

The Auto door open function on your Samsung dishwasher automatically opens the door after a cycle completes, improving drying results by releasing internal steam. This feature is enabled by default on many models but can be customized based on your preferences. Follow the steps below to ensure optimal performance.

1. Why Use the Auto Door Open Function?

The Auto door open function enhances drying efficiency by allowing steam to escape after the wash, rinse, and dry cycles. This feature is especially beneficial in humid environments where moisture retention can affect drying results. We recommend keeping this function enabled unless specific circumstances require otherwise.

2. How to Enable the Auto Door Open Function

The steps to enable the Auto door open function vary depending on your Samsung dishwasher model. Below are general instructions for most models:

1. Open the dishwasher and locate the control panel.
2. Press the "Options" or "Settings" button to access the menu.
3. Navigate to the "Auto Door Open" or "Auto Release Dry" option using the arrow keys.
4. Select "On" or "Enable" to activate the feature.
5. Wait 5 seconds for the setting to save before closing the dishwasher.

For model-specific instructions, refer to your user manual or the manufacturer's website.

3. Additional Things to Check

- Ensure the dishwasher door is fully closed after enabling the feature to prevent interruptions during the cycle.

- If the door does not open automatically, verify that the feature is enabled and the cycle has completed.
