When your Samsung dryer suddenly stops working and flashes cryptic error codes, it can be frustrating. Luckily, many of these issues are straightforward to diagnose. Below, you’ll find detailed explanations for the most common Samsung dryer error codes, along with tips to resolve them quickly.
Indicates the dryer door isn’t properly closed. Ensure the door is securely shut. If the Error Code dC persists, the door latch might be faulty.
Error Code FE indicates that there is a problem with the dryer’s exhaust system, particularly that the exhaust filter may be clogged, the airflow is restricted, or the moisture sensor system has detected poor air circulation.
Samsung Dryer Error Code HE stands for Heating Error. It appears when the dryer is unable to generate the necessary heat during a drying cycle. This usually means there is a problem with the heating element, the thermostat, or temperature sensors inside the machine. If unsure, it’s wise to call for fast and local dryer repairs to avoid further damage.
These error codes indicate sensor issues. This sensor is responsible for monitoring and regulating the dryer’s internal temperature during the drying cycle. Error Code tS or Error Code tO can mean your thermistor or temperature sensor is malfunctioning. Cleaning or replacing these components typically resolves the problem.
This code points to door switch issues. Error Code DE occurs when the dryer detects that the door switch is malfunctioning. Confirm the door switch is operational or seek professional help if necessary.
The bE error code stands for “Button Error” and typically indicates that one of the buttons on your dryer’s control panel is stuck or continuously being pressed. In some models, you may see variations of this code, such as:
bE1 or bE2 – Specific button-related faults (e.g., start button stuck).
bC2 – Another model-specific code related to button issues.
The Et error code stands for “Dry Time Error”. This typically appears when the main control board detects an issue with the internal timing mechanisms of your dryer. Typically, a technician will need to examine and replace the board.
Error Code hE or HE2 typically indicates that the dryer’s heating element has failed or isn’t functioning as expected. This error generally appears in electric Samsung dryer models and points to the system’s inability to generate or regulate heat properly.
The OE error code on a Samsung dryer stands for Outlet Error. This code typically appears when the dryer detects that it’s not able to vent air properly through the exhaust system. Preventative maintenance is key to avoiding the OE error and ensuring your dryer works efficiently for years.
The TE error stands for Thermistor Error. The thermistor is a sensor that monitors the temperature inside the dryer drum and ensures that it does not overheat. Replacing this component often fixes the problem swiftly.
