The most common error codes on Samsung dryers can mean the vent is blocked, a cold-temperature controller fault, the outlet thermistor having trouble, the motor being blocked, and the door being open.

The “Vent Blockage Error” code will appear if the vent to the outside is blocked. This could be due to lint, or other objects that are impeding the path of your vent hose. To clear this blockage, simply check the vent and clear any clogs.

The “Cold-Temperature Controller Fault” code indicates an issue with the internal temperature sensor. To fix this issue, you may need to have the temperature controller reset by an appliance service professional.

The “Outlet Thermistor Fault” and “Motor Blockage” codes can indicate a possible issue with the internal components of your dryer. If this happens, it’s best to call a qualified repair specialist to look into the issue.

Lastly, if the “Door Open” error code appears, it probably means your dryer’s door is ajar. Simply close the door and the code should no longer appear.
