Samsung Dryer dC, dE, dF, do, d0 Error Code

A Samsung dryer that shows dC, dE, dF, do, d0, 1 DC or 1 dF is reporting a door problem. Samsung groups these codes together because they all relate to the door, its latch and the sensors that confirm the door is secured. The codes are listed for Samsung dryers in general, with no model limits.

What the display is telling you

The dryer cannot confirm that the door is closed and latched. That can happen when the door will not stay shut, will not close all the way, or will not latch. On the Samsung UK list, dC and dE read “door is open”, meaning the dryer was asked to run with the door open.

What Samsung says to check

1. Make sure the latch is securely fixed.
2. Look for laundry or other items caught in the door.
3. Close the door firmly so it is secured correctly, then start again.
4. Check whether Child Lock is on. The UK page notes you may see the message when you open the door even though the dryer is not running.

The UK page also suggests unplugging the dryer and waiting at least 30 seconds before reconnecting it, which can let the control board reset.

The dF variant

The UK page describes dF as an incorrect door switch. It points to the wiring in the door and lock switch circuit and says the whole door lock or switch may need replacing. That is work for a technician, so unplug the dryer and stop there.

Related codes

• CL – Child Lock is on, which is not a fault but can lock the door.
• dn – a firmware download is in progress.
• FC – invalid power source frequency.
