Use the Auto door open function on your Samsung dishwasher

Last Update date : 2023-03-29

You won’t need to worry about opening your dishwasher’s door after a cycle has completed as it can be done automatically. Just set the dishwasher to automatically open the door after each cycle for the best drying results.

Use the Auto door open function on your Samsung dishwasher

Note: On some dishwasher models, the Auto door open function is activated by default after all cycles have been completed. It will improve drying performance by discharging internal steam after washing, rinsing, and drying cycles are finished. We do not recommend turning off the Auto door open function.

Keep in mind the instructions for turning on the Auto door open function will differ depending on your dishwasher model. This feature is not available on all models. For steps specific to your model, check your user manual.

Notes:

 • Once the door opens in Auto Release Dry mode, the door cannot be manually closed for the next 2 minutes.

 • Disabling Auto Release Dry mode can affect the drying capabilities. Enable Auto Release Dry for better results.
