Samsung Dryer Error Code bE: How to Fix It

Q: What does error code bE mean on my Samsung dryer?

Error code bE on a Samsung dryer means a button on the control panel is stuck or continuously pressed. This prevents the dryer from operating normally because the control system thinks a button is always being pressed.

Q: Can I still use my dryer with error bE showing?

No, you cannot use your Samsung dryer when error bE is displayed. The dryer will not start or continue operating until the stuck button issue is resolved and the error code is cleared.

Q: How do I clear the bE error code on my Samsung dryer?

To clear the bE error code, you need to fix the stuck button issue first. Clean around the buttons, ensure they move freely, then unplug the dryer for 5 minutes and plug it back in. The error should clear if the button problem is resolved.

Q: Why do buttons get stuck on Samsung dryers?

Buttons typically get stuck due to lint buildup, spilled detergent or fabric softener, normal wear and tear, or accumulated dirt and grime. Sometimes the button springs can break or become dislodged, causing buttons to remain pressed.

Q: Is Samsung dryer error bE the same as bE2 or 6E?

Yes, error codes bE, bE2, 6E, and bC2 all indicate the same problem on Samsung dryers - a stuck or continuously pressed button on the control panel. Different models may display slightly different variations of this error code.

Abstract

Samsung dryer error code bE (also displayed as bE2, 6E, or bC2) indicates a button is stuck or continuously pressed on the control panel. This error prevents the dryer from starting or operating properly because the control system detects a button that won't release.
