Samsung Dishwasher takes too long
If your Samsung dishwasher takes too long, the problem is often tied to weak water movement inside the tub, not just a slow cycle. A damaged wash impeller is the most likely cause, since worn or missing fins can’t push enough water through the wash arm, which can make the dishwasher run for hours or seem like the dishwasher cycle is too long. Next, check the filter assembly, filter, screen filter, and strainer in the sump. If any of these are clogged with food debris, water flow drops and wash performance suffers, which can also make a Samsung dishwasher long wash cycle more noticeable. If those parts are clear, the circulation pump may be failing. A bad pump motor may hum, stay quiet after filling, or struggle to move water properly. On some models, the wash impeller can be replaced separately, but others require a full pump and motor assembly. Enter your model number on RepairClinic.com to find the exact Samsung replacement part that fits your dishwasher and fix a dishwasher that takes too long with confidence.
01 - Samsung Dishwasher Wash Impeller
The wash impeller is a small plastic blade that forces water up through the wash arms. If the impeller is broken or is missing some of its fins, it might not generate enough pressure to force the water up through the wash arms. On most models, you can replace the wash impeller independently of the pump and motor assembly. Search for your model number to determine if your impeller is replaceable. If the impeller cannot be replaced separately, you will have to replace the entire pump and motor assembly.

Highly Likely
06 - Samsung Dishwasher Circulation Pump
The circulation pump uses a motor and impeller to force water up through the wash arms. If the circulation pump is defective, the dishes won’t be cleaned properly. If the motor isn’t making any noise or is just making a humming sound after the dishwasher has filled, the motor may be burned out. First, ensure that power is getting to the motor. Second, to ensure that the impeller can turn, check the pump housing for debris. If power is getting to the motor and the pump is clear of debris, the motor might need to be replaced.
