Samsung Dryer Error Codes: Complete Guide to Every Fault Code

Samsung dryers display error codes on the control panel to identify specific faults. DC and DE indicate a door sensor issue. HC, HE, TC, and H01 point to heating system failures often caused by a clogged exhaust duct. CL and CL9 are lint filter reminders, not fault codes. 3C signals a motor fault. 9C1 and FE indicate a power supply frequency problem. TE means the exhaust thermistor is out of range. Most codes clear after fixing the root cause and power cycling the dryer.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I clear an error code on my Samsung dryer?

Unplug the dryer for 60 seconds, then restore power. For soft faults like CL9 or CL, hold the Start/Pause button for 3 seconds. Codes caused by a broken part will return until that part is replaced.

What is the most common Samsung dryer error code?

DC (door check) is the most frequently reported code and is usually resolved by firmly closing the door until it clicks. HC and HE heating codes are the next most common and typically trace back to a blocked exhaust duct.

Do Samsung dryer error codes mean the dryer is broken?

Not always. CL and CL9 are routine reminders to clean the lint filter and are not fault codes. DC can be a false trigger if the door was not closed firmly. True fault codes like HC, 3C, or TC require diagnosis before the dryer should be run again.

How do I enter diagnostic mode on a Samsung dryer?

Hold the Dryness Level button and the Wrinkle Prevent button simultaneously for 5 seconds. On older models hold Temperature and Signal for 5 seconds. Stored error codes will scroll on the display.
