How do you fix a Samsung dryer error yourself?
Samsung fault tE, tE2, or tE4
The lint trap or condenser of your Samsung dryer may be clogged. Clean these as follows:
- Take out the lint trap and remove any large dust particles.
- Wipe the area where the lint trap is located with a dust cloth and gently rinse the dust sensor.
- Put the lint trap back in place.
- Clean the condenser rack with a vacuum brush.
Samsung error tE5
Error code tE5 means there's a problem temperature sensor of the compressor. Turn off the dryer for 5 minutes and restart the cycle.
Samsung error dE or dF
Check the door when you see Samsung error dE or dF. There may be laundry caught in the door, which prevents it from closing properly. Load your dryer with care, close the door, and restart the cycle.
Samsung error HC or HE
The hot compressor may be overheated.
- Turn off the dryer for 20 minutes.
- Turn on the dryer and restart the cycle.
- Not working? Turn off the dryer again.
- Press the 2 buttons (depending on the model) 'time' and 'mixed laundry' at the same time, or 'dryness level' and 'mixed laundry'.
- Turn on the dryer.
- Let go of the buttons as soon as the DE notification appears or if all the lights are on.
- Switch the dryer off and on again.
Samsung error 2E
Perhaps the dryer isn't plugged in, or the socket doesn't supply power. To find out if there's electricity, test whether another product works on this socket. Another product doesn't work? You can be sure that electricity is the problem and that there's nothing wrong with the dryer.
Samsung error 3E
Error 3E means the motor isn't working. Switch off the dryer and restart the cycle.
Samsung error 5E
If you see the 5E error code, the condenser reservoir of your Samsung dryer is full. Empty the condenser reservoir, restart the dryer, and start the dryer cycle again. Is your dryer connected to the drain? The problem may be in the drain itself. Check whether there's a kink in the drain hose. You should also check if the drain isn't blocked. Contact the supplier if the error code doesn't disappear.
Error 'empty reservoir' appears
When the light for the condenser reservoir comes on, the container is full. Remove the reservoir from the dryer and empty it in the sink. When you put the container back and start the dryer cycle, the notification should disappear. Is your dryer connected to the water drain and do you still see this error? Check the manual to learn how you can manually turn off the light. Also make sure there's no loop in the drain hose. In addition, the drain shouldn't be higher up than 1m.
Problem not solved?
Unplug the connector from the socket and plug it back in after 30 minutes. Restart the dryer cycle. If your dryer still gives an error, a technician should look into it. One of the parts may be broken. Did you buy the dryer at Coolblue and is it covered by the warranty? Fill in a return form with a repair request.
