Brand new Samsung Gas Dryer delivered today by PC Richards. 1st load is towels. Did not dry as well as would have expected. Error code “dC” is flashing on screen. Code not in manual.
Alfredo Gonzalez III,
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?

Geoff Cattrall,
Are you still getting the Samsung dryer HE error code even after replacing the thermistor?
Does the Samsung dryer run but not heat?
Check all wiring harnesses to be sure they are secure.
Check that the element is not shorted.

Samsung dryer, error message “make sure buttons are not being pressed repeatedly”, then control panel went blank, will not power on
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?
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.
Samsung 7000 series
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.

My Samsung dryer display is showing a circulating rectangle, like it’s in motion going clockwise.
The clothes are getting dry but I can’t find my manual to check it. I don’t know how else to describe it.
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.
