Samsung Smart Care dryer error codes:

These error code explanations can help when troubleshooting a problem with your Samsung Smart Care gas or electric dryer.


Code Meaning Possible Cause Possible Parts
tE Defective thermistor (temperature sensor) Clean the lint filter because a clogged lint filter can cause this code. Check the exhaust vent system for a clog or restriction and clean system if blocked. If the lint filter and exhaust vent system are clear, unplug the dryer and check the wire harness connections between the thermistor and the electronic control board. Reconnect any loose wires or replace the wire harness if damaged. If the wire connections are okay, measure the thermistor resistance using a multimeter. You should measure around 10,000 ohms of resistance at room temperature. Replace the thermistor if resistance is off. If thermistor resistance is okay and the wire harness is intact, replace the electronic control board Thermistor, wire harness, electronic control board
dE or dF Door switch failure If you're attempting to start the dryer with the door open, close the door. If the door is closed when the code appears, unplug the dryer and check the wire harness connections between the door switch and the electronic control board.
