When your Samsung dryer flashes the Error Code FE4, it’s trying to tell you something important: there’s a problem with the exhaust filter system. Fortunately, this issue is often easy to diagnose—and in some cases, even fix on your own. In this guide, we’ll walk you through what this error means, what steps you can try at home, and when it’s time to call in a local expert for a fast, same-day repair.
The FE4 error code stands for “Exhaust Filter Error.” Essentially, your dryer is detecting poor airflow or a blockage in the exhaust filter. This could be due to:
Your dryer is designed to stop working in this condition to prevent overheating or even fire—so don’t ignore it.
Before calling a technician, you can try these DIY fixes:
Safety first. Always disconnect the dryer from the power source before doing any maintenance.
Pull out the lint filter and remove any visible lint. Then rinse it under warm water and scrub it with a soft brush to remove residue from dryer sheets or fabric softener.
Follow the hose from the back of the dryer to where it exits your home. Make sure it’s not kinked, crushed, or clogged. Use a vacuum or a dryer vent brush to clean inside if needed.
Go outside and make sure the vent flap is opening properly and free of lint or debris.
Once everything is clean and connected properly, plug the dryer back in and try running a cycle. If the FE4 error is gone—great! You’ve fixed it.
If you’ve followed the steps above and your dryer still shows the FE4 code, the issue may be internal—like a faulty sensor, motor, or control board. That’s where we come in.
