This code means the dryer’s internal components are unable to “talk” to each other. Turn off the dryer for 1 minute and turn it back on again.

Samsung Dryer Frequency Errors = 1 FC, FC, FE
These codes mean that there is an power source frequency issue. Restart the cycle to fix this issue.

Samsung Dryer Voltage Errors = 2E, 9E1, 9C1, 9E
This code appears when the voltage is abnormal being supplied to the dryer.

Samsung Dryer Jammed Button Errors = bC2, 6E, 6E2, 6C2, bE, bE2

  1. I have a samsung smart care dryer it’s reading code 3c I looked it up didn’t get much help by what I can do as far as unplugging it or flipping the breaker so I did a little more research and it said something about a pda what is that or where is it at or how can I fix my problem

  2. Samsung dryer model #DV393ETPARA/A1 – overheated, I replaced thermistor & all related to the heating element. Now getting flashing light when ‘start’ hit. Flashing control knob light & flashing sensor icon. Dryer won’t start & the timer icon is lit. Stays like this for a little while then counts down like it’s in a cycle but will ‘end’ with the tones going off. I can’t find anything covering this. What can this be & how can I fix it?

  3. Prashant Bhardwaj

    Hi there – I am getting 9C1 error code on my Samsung dryer, which seems to be related to Voltage. My old Frigidaire dryer was working fine on the same switch, but the replacement Samsung dryer keeps flashing 9C1 as error. I have tried to shut off power to dryer from the panel and restart, however same issue. Need urgent help. Many thanks in advance

  4. Mike Fiorentino

    I have a Samsung dv365etbgwr/a3 that is all of a sudden giving the he code. I took everything apart, checked the resistance and inspected the heating element and the two other parts on the side (forget what they’re called!) and checked the voltage on the thermistor. Put everything back together and get the he code after 10 seconds. Any other suggestions?

  5. Jeremiah F Sheffler

    Samsung dryer with 07 9L code too. Anyone find information on what it means?

  6. I’m having the same problem with the 9L-07 code. I called Samsung, who said it was an electrical supply issue (it’s not – I tested the plug). Were you able to find out anything different?

  7. I have the same model that’s flashing 07 and 9L after I somehow managed to force it into diagnostic mode. Did anyone find what it was? I can’t find reference to either of those codes online.

  8. Mine is doing the same thing, only it flashes 9L and 07. Can’t find anywhere that says what 9L means.

    I have a samsung dryer model dv50f9a7e. Yesterday when started it would dry for several minutes then suddenly display 1 minute left and stop. Today it displayed a code that was a rectangle. I have checked the vent and even though it didn’t need cleaning, I vacuumed everything out from lint filter to the outdoor vent. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks so much.

  10. I’m having the same issue. The lint sensor light comes on and dryer shuts off. Checked the vent in the back and checked the lint trap. Nothing has fixed this issue. Did you find a solution?

  11. I have a Samsung dryer that starts and then stops about 15 seconds after it starts I cleaned and replaced vents front and back still same people lem

  12. So, did any repairs work for the HC2 error message? Just got a new samsung flexdry dyer (gas model), and on the first day, got the message.

  13. Hi, I have a Samsung electric dryer, model: DV45H7000EW/A2that powers on but won’t start. I hear a faint click when I press start. There is no error code unless I use the troubleshooting mode I see code: nG. I can’t find this code explained anywhere. Thanks!

  14. I came across this message looking for causes of my own “HC” code on a multi steam Samsung dryer. The dryer had been stopping within a few seconds after starting and sometimes without showing any codes and sometimes flashing “tC” (usually on the 3rd try, and indicating a hot temperature). In taking it apart, I found that the tensioner wheel was broken and that one of the bearing wheels was not spinning, so the dryer drum was not spinning properly leading to it stopping. After fixing these issues with new parts the panel always flashed “HC” indicating a hot temperature upon starting the dryer and it would stop after 3 seconds. This even happened after a power reset and I didn’t even start the dryer. The dryer was then unplugged for a few days while I did other chores. Here’s the thing, it worked fine after that, so I guess it took much longer than 20 minutes to clear the code and to let the unit cool down after fixing the wheel and bearing. I hope this may help a future DIYer in the future.

    My Samsung dryer – dv210aew/xaa shows an E9 when I turn it on.
    It doesn’t seem to work properly since this error.

  16. Michael leite

    Gas Samsung dryer, shuts off while in any dryer setting. Gets hot and starts to dry the close and then will shut off. Plugged it into different outlets on a different electric circuit and also remove the dryer vent to ensure it was not clogged. Still same issue. Not seeing any errors codes. Once it shuts off if I hit power button it turns right back on. Had a repair man come out but he wasn’t sure what could cause this. Told me to go buy another control board but wasn’t sure if that was the issue. Need help

  17. Deborah a tate

    The electric dryer is heating fine except on the Perma press cycle. I’m getting the he code before it’s through the entire cycle, when I open the door it’s really hot so I do believe it’s not getting to the cooling down cycle.

  18. ALLEN VETTER - DIY Repair Assistant

    Diane,
    Samsung dryer displays the hourglass symbol, what does it mean?
    The hourglass symbol on your Samsung dryer shows that the number currently displayed on the control panel is the time remaining in the wash cycle.

  21. Hi, were you able to resolve the problem? I’m having the same one. My thermal fuse keeps blowing. I have replaced the heating element (broken wire) and thermal fuse (2x)

    The dryer will dry continuously when not hooked up to the duct (4 or 5 days) but blows thermal fuse on second attempt.

    Would appreciate any feed back.

    Thanks!!

  23. Model DV395GTPARA/A1
    Samsung Dryer

    Runs for about 3 seconds then stops and will not run again until power off. Then it will do the same thing. Lint filter fits securely and is clean. Once I compressed the two buttons simultaneously and got an error 68. After that there was no error code, just 0000.

    It is not exactly level but it has been working for months in the position it is in now.

    Any ideas? Thanks

The only”code” is a picture of a tee shirt that is flashing with an arrow to another tee shirt that is not flashing and has two wiggle lines going to the middle like maybe it is drying.

  38. My Samsung dryer keeps stopping and shows a DE error code. We open then shut the door and sometimes it works until end of cycle and sometimes it does it again.

  39. DIY Repair Help Tips

    Lonnie Olson,
    Can you give us the model number of your Samsung dryer?
    Also, could the error code be dO instead of 60 or bO?

    Does the door shut completely, is the door having an issue?
    To test what may be wrong – Push lightly on the door when the dryer is running and see if anything changes.

    We can assist once we have the model number.
    Thanks.

  40. I have a Samsung dryer approximately 10 years old. The dryer will start but after about 8 minuets (on permanent press) I get a code of 60, it could be a code of b0 the 6 or the b is broken. When I use timed dry it will go about 15-20 minuets. I can power off and it will start again but then I get the same message error. I always clean the lint filter after each use. It will show that it is still drying but it is not tumbling.

    Samsung HE or hE Error Code = Heating error (electric dryer)
    See if a house circuit breaker for the dryer is tripped; the dryer won’t heat if a leg of the 240 volt power supply is off. Unplug the dryer and check the wiring connections on the heating element.
    Reconnect any loose wires and replace the wire harness if damaged.
    Check the heating element for damage and replace the heating element if defective.

    Samsung HE or hE Error Code = Heating error (gas dryer)
    Make sure the gas supply cut-off valve for the dryer is fully open.
    Unplug the dryer and reconnect any loose wiring connections on the gas valve coils.
    Replace the wire harness if damaged.

  68. I have a Samsung DV42.
    The dryer will run and will dry but neither the timed programs or the moisture sensing programs will stop it automatically.
    If we don’t set a timer to open the door to manually stop it, the dryer eventually will error out and result in the “He” code.
    Any thoughts on a fix? Thanks in advance.

  69. The reset worked great.
    Just need to hold the two buttons down while you power off and power on. DE code comes up .release buttons and power off and on again.
    Problem solved.

  70. My Samsung multi steam vent sensor is giving “HC” message. Any idea what is that? The dryer stops within few seconds of running and gives an HC message on the panel.

  71. Hello Tobie, what did you do to resolve this issue? having same problem with our brand new dryer and it is not even used once.

  72. Samsung dryer DV419AGWX/AA. Error Code does not show, but dryer will turn on, little red tee-shirt will blink showing it is drying, but machine does not start and run. I have no error code to show me what may be wrong. The Error Codes work, because it comes on when the door is opened and when wrinkle free symbol comes on, or run time can also be changed. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

  73. I have the same DC error on a pretty much new unit. Same problem with no documentation on what a dC code is. I find that it is listed for washers but not dryers. They Dryer is a Model: DV50K8600GV/A3. Thanks for any help in advance.

  74. I have a Samsung dryer model DV419AGU/XAA that is showing a bE error code. I tried depressing all the buttons and that didn’t fix it so I bought a new User Interface Control. Put it in and unplugged it and replugged it in to clear the code and it will run for 20 seconds and than the bE code pops up again. I don’t want to call the appliance guy and my wife is ready to kill me if I don’t get this dryer fixed. Any help is welcome. Thanks

  75. I have experienced the HE error code on my Samsung dryer.
    Model: DV70F5E0HGW
    First when this code appeared, Samsung sent an engineer out, who replaced the PCB board.
    The second time it happened, the guy pressed a few buttons and it reset the code.
    It happened again today and the guy gave me the instructions over the phone.
    Hold anti crease and delay end button together.
    Now while these buttons are pressed down.
    Hold the power button.
    The dryer will turn on and the HE code will be replaced by a DE code.
    Now switch off the dryer by pressing the power button, now switch it back on.
    The display should return to normal and the dryer should be usable.
    My dryer is still under warranty and if I contacted Samsung, they would have sent the independent engineer out, who would of carried out the same instructions and charged Samsung for it.

  76. For Jeremy and Debbie and any others who are having problems with Samsung Dryers… I did not have exactly the same code as what you have (I had an HE error code.) But in any event you can do a ‘reset’ of the dryer by pressing and holding the ‘Mixed Load Bell’ button while turning on the dryer. This got rid of the error code for me, and subsequently the dryer is working fine. If that doesn’t work, try it again, and if not you can also try holding the ‘Lamp’ button while turning on the dryer.

    You’d think Samsung might include this information in their manuals, or online, or tell you about it when you call and beg for help, but of course they don’t. It was actually another kind user on this forum who told me about it, so thanks to him, my dryer did not end up in the bin… where it was destined for.

  77. I have the same issue as another individual there are no codes other than the smiley face and a square symbol and no buttons will do anything the dial will not switch settings.

  78. My Samsung dryer is flashing the code dE???? What does this mean ??? The dryer will start when I close the door even if I do NOT push any button on the dryer panel! Help!!!!!

  84. Thanks for the tip. We had the HE error once before and had a tech out. He reset via a code. We had the problem again, but I was not able to find what he did anywhere on the internet until now… thanks, it worked like a charm… we are back up and drying. :-)

  85. Samsung DV422EWHDR- no heat. Checked incoming power, vents are clean, replaced heating coil assembly. Not sure where to look next. When I run a timed cycle, it runs for the complete time, but no heat. Cooling light is always lit, not sure if it should be or not.

  86. Samsung dryer dv422. No error code that I have seen. It won’t heat, replaced the whole heating element assembly, had the incoming line checked, no issues there. Is the some key sequence to press to check for error codes? Not sure what my next step should be, the cooling light is always on, can’t quite figure out if it should be or not, if I run a timed setting it runs the full time but never heats. Not sure if I should try replacing the thermistor on the blower or the main control card. Just want my dryer back!

  87. Our Samsung Dryer, model #DV50F9A7EVW/A2, may have taken a power surge. After a storm, the dryer will not shut off. The display shows normal, with no error codes. The dryer runs without heat. It stops when the door opens, but not when the power button turns off the display off. We have unplugged the dryer for days with no change.

    Kelly Myers,
    Can you give us the model number of your Samsung Dryer?
    The first digit looks like an upside down F, and the second digit is an E?
    Like LE but with one more LED line showing?
    -RR

  89. My Samsung Dryer error code is not listed. It looks like EE but the e at the beginning is missing the top, it is like an upside down F?

  90. I had the HE error code on my Samsung DV8 dryer.
    After cleaning the filters I took it apart and checked the 2 thermistors (~50k ohm) and they appeared to be ok as well as anything else.
    Put it together again and started it.
    Same HE error code again.
    I then switched the machine off and held the light-button while turning it on.
    The dryer then made a self-test and displayed “b2”.
    I turned it off and on again and the code was gone. Yeeha!
    Hope it works for you too!!!

  91. For the past few days my year-old Samsung dryer DV52J8700E(G) has been stopping before the clothes are dry–both on timed and regular cycles. Finally got a vent clog icon. Cleaned, vacuumed and reattached vent hose and outside vent. Restarted after 20 minutes. Pulled out from wall in case hose was squeezed. Stopped again. Code upside-down FC. Help?

  92. Hi Phil I seem to have a very similar problem. HE error code. My dryer is a DV80H8100HW (heat pump dryer.) If you ever do find a solution to this problem please do let me know! I have replaced the thermistor already as well but to no help.

  93. Yes the Samsung dryer is brand new, but I have taken it overseas, hence the company that sold it to me cannot help me. The model is a DV80H8100HW (Heat Pump Dryer.) Serial number I’m afraid I don’t have right now as I’m not at home. I can get it if it’s really necessary. I have modified the cabinet so that there is much more airflow now so I don’t think that will be a problem in the future. But alas the dryer is still not working and still has the HE code. As mentioned before the thermistor has already been replaced.

  94. I have model DV210AEW dryer. I have replaced and tested every part of the heating side of the system. I am still getting a HE code on the screen. I replaced the thermostat, high temp sensor and the Assy Pcb Main board and tested the heating coil and it was good.

    Geoff Cattrall,
    If the Samsung dryer is brand new, why not call the company that sold it to you and have it replaced or fixed?

    You may have a completely different dryer configuration than we realized.
    Can you give us the full model number and serial number so we can research further?

    And yes, the dryer needs some air flow to be able to run properly, that may or may not cause the HE code.
    How much space does the dryer have inside the cabinet?
    -RR

  96. HI there… yes I am still getting the HE error code even after replacing the thermistor. The dryer will not run – in fact no functions are available. When I turn the dryer on there is an HE code on the screen and I cannot select a cycle, run the dryer, or do anything. The only thing I can do at that stage is turn the dryer off again. I have checked all wiring as far as I can see with the top, front and back off and it looks ok. Please note that this is a brand new unit. Since it was running in a cabinet with poor airflow, I agree there is a good chance it’s a heating element problem of some sort. But this is a Heat Pump dryer – does it even have a heating element? Or is it a compressor? And how can I access this part of the dryer? I’m not sure how to check ‘the element is not shorted’. I don’t see anything that looks like a compressor or heating element on the front of the unit. Any and all advice appreciated thanks!

    If the countdown on your Samsung dryer changes during a dry cycle, usually it means the main control board is faulty.
    Have you inspected the board? Wire harnesses? Thermistor?

  101. Samsung dryer, error message “make sure buttons are not being pressed repeatedly”, then control panel went blank, will not power on

  102. First of all – what a great resource this website is. Thanks guys!
    I have a DV80H8100HW heat pump Samsung dryer. I (stupidly) mounted it in a cupboard with poor ventilation. I also didn’t know about the lint trap at the bottom left front of the unit, and so I never cleaned it. I now have an HE error code.
    I bought a new thermistor and replaced it, but it didn’t work. What is the next step please?

  103. Alfredo Gonzalez III

    My Samsung dryers has a red blinking light when first turned on. Once the dryer is started on Normal Mode, it sets itself to 40 minutes. As it is drying and the countdown begins, it gets down to 38 minutes then resets to 1 minute and starts cooling down. We can not figure out what it is, Can anyone here tell me what is going on or what I need to replace? Model # DV42H5OOOEW/A3.

    No code comes up. You turn it on. It sings. It makes a click noise but it doesn’t do anything after that. No heat. No spin. No codes.
    Any thoughts?

    Angela Venable,
    What is the model number of your Samsung Dryer?
    Check to see if “Wrinkle Prevent” is selected on the display.
    This will tumble your dryer intermittently after the heat cycle is done to assist in preventing wrinkled clothing.
    “Wrinkle Prevent” can be turned ON or OFF by pressing its button on the display panel.

  107. DIY Project Help Tips

    Sherri Ferguson,
    Do a visual on the element.
    Are the wires secure and in place on the element?
    Are the wires tight and no signs of damage?
    Then check it with a meter using OHMS.
    If it reads bad, remove and replace the heating element on your Samsung dryer.

    Check out this page for some more details and what may be wrong with your Samsung dryer.

    First, I wanted to say I really appreciate you taking the time to respond to me. The dryer is now running without shutting down. I unplugged the dryer for a bit and plugged it back in. The cc code went away, but now the dryer has no heat. :-). I am assuming that I need a heating element. Do I test that with the ohms meter as well? Or how should I replace the heating element? Again thank you.

    Sherri Ferguson,
    The Samsung Dryer error code CC is not in our database….
    Try fixing the tS error first….

    SAMSUNG DRYER ERROR CODE tS = Thermistor is faulty = Shorted Out.
    TO FIX = Unplug the dryer and use a volt/ohm meter to test the resistance of the thermistor.
    If the resistance is more than 40,000 ohms then replace the thermistor.
    If the resistance is 10,000 ohms then replace the wire harness if you find it to be damaged.
    If the wire harness is good then replace the electronic control board.

  114. DIY Project Help Tips

    Shelby Hamilton,
    Samsung Dryer Error Code showing an upside down F and 0 means = The code you see indicates a problem in the thermistor circuit.
    This may also be caused by a clogged lint screen or restricted vent system.
    This type of diagnosis will require using an ohmmeter to check the thermistor and circuit.

    Check that the lint screen is not clogged first…. then look to see if the venting system is clear of lint build-up

    Scott klingman,
    Error t0 is an open thermistor on Samsung dryers. Thermistor should measure 10,000 ohms at 77 degrees fahrenheit.
    Check it at the blower with one side disconnected and if OKAY, check it at the plug on the control board.
    -RR

    Samsung Dryer code is showing tO. Don’t know if that’s any different. Didn’t have an ohm meter but continuity is positive. I was assuming if the dial was stuck open there would be no continuity.

  119. DIY Project Help Tips

    Tara Blackburn,
    First, be sure the dryer door is properly closed and the lint filter is properly installed…
    The Samsung Dryer Eg Or E9 Error Code is not actually an error code. It is a code displayed when the dryer is in the test mode used on the production line. This error can appear when certain buttons are pushed at the same time or in a certain sequence. To exit this and clear the E9 error, unplug the dryer from power for 10 seconds and then plug back in. You can also flip the breaker to the dryer if it is difficult to access the plug.

    Jose,
    DE Error on Samsung dryer means that “door is open”. The dryer thinks the door is open. It is probable that power is not getting passed from the door switch to the control board. Check the door switch assembly to be sure the wire harness is connected and that it is not damaged. If damaged, replace it with an OEM part.

    Samsung dryer has Error Codes, but dryer will turn on, little red tee-shirt will blink showing it is drying, but machine does nothing. I have no error code to show me what may be wrong. The Error Codes work, because it comes on when the door is open. The wrinkle free symbol comes on, but that is it.

    Pascual,

    Samsung Dryer Error Code E3 could be a few different faults:

    1 – Motor overload error (Let motor cool down for 1 hour)
    2 – Vent is blocked (Clean out vent to prevent overheat)
    3 – Thermistor error (Remove and replace dryer thermistor)

    Sometimes the wire harnesses on the dryer control board comes loose. Resecure the electrical contacts and wire harnesses and the error code should clear.

    The Samsung Dryer manual shows E5 error code is a temperature control error.

    TO FIX:
    Disconnect the unit from the vent to see if you still get the error. If not then clean the vent.
    OR
    Check for a grounded element.
    Unplug the unit and both wires at the heater.
    Measure across the heater.

  129. At a loss with my Samsung dryer! Giving code DO, took it apart and checked wiring harness. Didn’t see any damage or loose wires, so i bought a new door switch. Installed it, turned dryer on and pressed start. It ran for half a second and flashed DO error code again. Rechecked all wires, nothing… Any advice on what to do next? Everything else works and comes on so i don’t think its the board… Just frustrated!! Model number dv218aeb.
