Quick Answer

Samsung dryer error codes: tE = thermistor (temperature sensor) fault. dE = door not closed or door switch failed. HE = heater fault (element or relay). bE = button/key stuck on control panel. d80/d90/d95 = vent restriction percentage. clE = child lock active (hold Child Lock 3 sec). FE = power supply frequency error (rare, electrical issue). Samsung dryers use the same tE/dE/HE format across all models.
