Quick answer
HC2 is a gas ignition error on Samsung gas dryers. Samsung suggests a power-off reset and then service if it returns.
Model compatibility: Samsung reuses codes across series and model years, so HC2 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
Gas ignition error.
HC2 is the gas ignition error, found on gas dryers. Samsung’s US page puts it with errors that usually concern the dryer’s sensors and components.
What Samsung suggests
Turn the dryer off for 2-3 minutes.
Turn it back on.
