  1. 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

  2. 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.

  3. 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!

  4. 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.

    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

  7. 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.

    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.
