Quick answer
tC5 on the current Samsung AirDresser concerns the compressor thermistor.
Model compatibility: Samsung reuses codes across series and model years, so tC5 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 thermistor resistance too low or high.
The code tC5 appears on current Samsung AirDresser units. It tells you the resistance of the Compressor thermistor is too low or high.
