🔥 Samsung Dryer Error Codes & How to Fix Them – Lethbridge Appliance Repair Guide

Is your Samsung dryer flashing an unfamiliar code and refusing to run properly? Don’t worry — you’re not alone. These smart machines are helpful, but when something goes wrong, the error messages can be cryptic.

At Lethbridge Appliance, we specialize in Samsung dryer repair and we’ve compiled this handy guide to the most common error codes and how to fix them.

If you’re in Lethbridge or the surrounding area, this guide is for you.

❌ 1. HE or HC – Heating Error

What it means: Your dryer is not heating properly.Fix it:

• Check if the dryer is set to an "air fluff" or "no heat" cycle.

• Make sure the lint filter and vent hose are clean and clear.

• If everything looks good, the heating element, thermostat, or control board could be faulty.

This is one of the most common dryer repairs we handle — especially in cold Lethbridge winters!

🌬️ 2. FE – Power Supply Frequency Error

What it means: The power supply frequency is unstable or outside of normal range.Fix it:

• Unplug the dryer for 1–2 minutes and plug it back in.

• Make sure it's plugged directly into a wall outlet (not a power bar).

• If the issue continues, the control board may need professional service.

This error can appear after power outages or surges — something not uncommon in Alberta.

🌀 3. tE or tC – Temperature Sensor Issue

What it means: The thermistor (temperature sensor) is malfunctioning.Fix it:

• This is an internal component and usually requires a technician to test and replace.

• Avoid using the dryer until it’s repaired to prevent overheating or damage to clothing.

Our certified repair techs can diagnose and replace Samsung dryer sensors quickly and affordably.

🔒 4. dE – Door Error

What it means: The dryer door isn’t closing properly or isn’t registering as locked.Fix it:

• Check for obstructions (like laundry or lint) around the door seal.

• Ensure the door is latching firmly.

• If it still won’t start, the door switch may be faulty.

This is a common repair — and one we can usually complete same-day in Lethbridge.

🌡️ 5. Od – Overdry Detection

What it means: The dryer believes the clothing is already dry, possibly due to sensor failure.Fix it:

• Clean the moisture sensors (usually located inside the drum, under the lint trap area).

• Avoid overloading the dryer.

• If the problem persists, the moisture sensor may need replacement.

This issue affects drying performance and energy efficiency — a quick fix can save you money long-term.

💡 6. bE – Button Stuck

What it means: A control panel button is stuck or shorted.Fix it:

• Press each button firmly to ensure it’s not jammed.

• Try a reset by unplugging the dryer for 2–3 minutes.

Still flashing? It could be a faulty user interface panel — a common issue we repair frequently.
