Common Samsung faults
What goes wrong with Samsung dryers
HE / heating errors
Samsung dryers report heating problems on the display. On electric models it is often the element or a thermal fuse; on gas models, the igniter or gas valve coils. Airflow is always part of the check.
Squealing or grinding
Worn drum rollers and idler pulleys are a known Samsung wear item, especially on heavily used front-load dryers.
Thermistor and sensor faults
tE-type codes point to the temperature sensor circuit. We test the thermistor and wiring before replacing anything.

Samsung dryer error codes — what they mean
Codes and wording vary between models and years. Use this as a guide, and tell us exactly what your display shows when you call.
| Code | What it means | Likely cause | Who fixes it |
|---|---|---|---|
| HE / HC / hE | The dryer is overheating or heating abnormally. | Clogged lint screen or vent; low voltage on electric models. | Try first |
| tE / tS / tO / tC | Temperature or temperature-sensor problem. | Clogged lint screen or vent, or a failed thermistor. | Try first |
| dE / dC / dF | Door, latch or door-sensor problem. | Door not fully closed, item caught, or faulty latch / switch. | Try first |
| 9E / 9C1 / 9E1 | Abnormal power supply voltage. | Shared circuit, extension cord or incorrect supply voltage. | Try first |
| bE / bE2 / bC2 | A control button is stuck or held down. | Jammed or damaged control-panel button. | Try first |
| AE / AC / Et | Internal components are not communicating. | Control board, display board or wiring between them. | Technician |
| FE / FC | Power supply frequency is invalid. | Power supply issue or control board fault. | Technician |
| Clg / Cg | Vent blockage test: the vent is clogged. | Lint build-up or an obstruction in the exhaust vent. | Try first |
| C80 / C90 | Vent test: about 80% or over 90% blocked. | Heavily restricted exhaust vent run. | Try first |
| dn | Firmware download in progress. | Normal update — do not unplug (call if it lasts over 24 hours). | Try first |
Samsung displays sometimes show a "t" that looks like an upside-down F — read it as t (so tE, not FE). Some models run a vent blockage test that shows Clg, C80 or C90.
