Samsung dryer code table

Scan by code, meaning, and severity, then open the exact detail page when you need step-by-step guidance.

3C
The dryer has detected a fault with the drum drive motor (3C) or the drying cycle has exceeded the maximum allowed time without reaching the target dryness level (oD).
high severity
9C1
The dryer has detected an abnormality in the voltage being supplied. The power is either too high, too low, or fluctuating beyond safe operating limits.
medium severity
AC
The dryer's internal electronic components cannot communicate with each other. A communication breakdown has occurred between the main control board and one or more subsystems.
high severity
bE
The dryer's control panel has detected that one or more buttons are stuck in a continuously pressed state, preventing normal operation.
medium severity
CL
The child safety lock is engaged. All control panel buttons are disabled and on some models the door is also locked. This is a safety mode, not a fault.
low severity
Clg
Samsung dryer error Clg usually means the exhaust vent is heavily restricted and airflow is no longer safe.
low severity
dC
The dryer cannot detect that the door is properly closed and latched. The cycle will not start or has been interrupted because the door lock cannot confirm a secure position.
medium severity
dn
The dryer is downloading and installing a firmware update over Wi-Fi. This is not a fault — the display shows 'dn' during the update process.
low severity
FC
The dryer has detected that the power supply frequency does not match its requirements. US dryers require 60Hz — this error most commonly occurs when a dryer is used outside its intended market.
medium severity
HC
Samsung dryer error HC usually means the dryer is overheating and has shut heating down to prevent damage or fire risk.
medium severity
HC2
The gas dryer has detected a failure in the gas ignition system. The burner is not lighting correctly or at all, preventing the dryer from generating heat.
high severity
tC
The dryer has detected a fault in its temperature measurement system. One or more temperature sensors are reporting values outside expected parameters, preventing safe heat regulation.
medium severity
