My dryer is showing a square with a smile in it I have cleaned everything check now none of buttons want to work and can’t change big dial to any other position Model #Is dv42h50000ew/a3
Samsung Dryer is reading dE error code?
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. :-)
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.
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!
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.
My Samsung dryer keeps going off with a display message SE.
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?
