Error codebC2 / bE2 Button check
ApplianceDishwasher
Quick answer
bC2, also shown as bE2, appears on a Samsung dishwasher when a button is pressed for more than 30 seconds. It is often a temporary glitch.
Model compatibility: Samsung reuses codes across series and model years, so bC2 / bE2 Button check 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
A button was pressed for more than 30 seconds.
A Samsung dishwasher showing bC2, or bE2, is reporting that a button has been pressed for more than 30 seconds. Samsung’s Australian and UAE information pages list it, and the UAE page calls it often a temporary glitch.
Reset the buttons
Press and release the buttons to reset them. You can also try to bounce the buttons with your fingers. On a touch screen, wipe off any moisture or foreign objects with a dry towel.
Models without a display
These steps apply to most Samsung dishwashers with digital displays. If your model has no display, it signals with blinking lights, and your user guide explains them.
Codes to compare
bC3: the control panel does not respond or acts erratically
CE: the panel cannot communicate with the rest of the dishwasher
