Quick answer
A jammed button error: a panel button is stuck or held down. Power off and work through each button.
Model compatibility: Samsung reuses codes across series and model years, so bE / bE2 / bC2 / 6E / 6E2 / 6C2 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
bE (also bE2, bC2, 6E, 6E2, 6C2) is a jammed button error: a panel button is stuck or continuously pressed.
The codes bE, bE2, bC2, 6E, 6E2 and 6C2 appear when a button on the Samsung dryer’s panel is detected as stuck or continuously pressed. Samsung’s heat-pump guidance describes bC2 as a panel button held for more than 30 seconds.
Clearing it
Power the dryer off.
Touch and release every button on the panel one at a time, going back and forth so you reach all edges of each button.
Power on again.
If any button is damaged, or the code returns after power-on, request service.

Important safety warning. Do not attempt repairs involving electrical components, gas, water lines, refrigerant or sealed systems. Unplug the appliance if it is safe to reach the outlet, and leave internal diagnostics to a qualified technician.
