Quick answer
HC on a current Samsung AirDresser signals a compressor that is too hot.
Model compatibility: Samsung reuses codes across series and model years, so HC may mean something different on another appliance or generation. Confirm this against your model’s documentation and record your full model number before acting.
Plain language
What this code means
Compressor temperature too high.
An HC code on a current Samsung AirDresser means the temperature of the compressor is too high. The Russian support page describes it as a compressor error or overheating.
Restart steps
Press the Power button to switch the cabinet off and leave it off for 10 seconds.
Switch it on again.
Start the mode that was running when the error appeared.
If HC shows up again after the restart, contact service for diagnosis and repair of the unit.
