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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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!!!!!

I’m getting the same error code (upside down F, then E OR like LE but with one more line) same as described by Kelly Myers.
I replaced the heating element – and also the thermostat and limit switch since I had it apart. Error code did not go away. Can anyone diagnose this?
Model # DV210AEW/XAA
I am having the same problem as Kelly Myers. My dryer is a Samsung DV210AG gas. Message is giving me what looks like an E without the top line, followed by a regular E.
