What we can confirm
Code High, from the manufacturer's own documentation
This code has no number, because this equipment has no display to put one on. The appliance signals it instead — an alarm, a symbol or a pattern of lights — and what it means is recorded in the documentation that ships with it.

What else belongs to the dryers
On this make a code belongs to the appliance rather than to a product line. These are the other conditions this machine can display, and the models that can show this one — a display often has more than one thing to say, and the model number decides what any of it costs to put right.
Other codes this appliance can display
The supply reaching the dryer is not what it expects
The panel reads a button as permanently pressed
The door, its latch, or the switch that watches them
The temperature the dryer is measuring is not what it should be
The dryer is not reaching the heat it asked for
The boards inside the dryer have stopped agreeing
The supply frequency is not one the machine accepts
The load is taking longer to dry than the machine allows
The burner did not light when it was asked to
sensors and components, without a published procedure
the frequency error, in lights
a button read as held down

About Samsung dryer: Door error
What the appliance is actually reporting
The same condition as dC on a machine with a display: the door is not being seen as closed and secured.
The other light combinations that mean this
High · 40 min
Samsung publishes forty light combinations for the dishwasher alone, and several of them mean the same thing. They are grouped here by what they mean rather than made into forty near-identical pages, and every combination the maker names is printed above.
Where this appears, and why not to clear it
On the cycle lights, on a machine with no digital display. Samsung publishes what each combination means, and on those models the combination is the entire diagnosis — it disappears the moment the power is cut. Write it down or photograph the panel before switching anything off. Samsung adds one caution of its own and it saves service calls: on some models the lights blink to show cycle status, so treat it as an error only if the machine is misbehaving as well.
Which machines this one applies to
Models with no digital display, which report by blinking their cycle lights. Samsung itself flags that several of its codes mean two different things depending on the model — dC, 3E and BE2 on washers, and 1E on dishwashers — so the model number is what settles which reading applies to your machine. It also publishes nothing at all for freezers, ice makers and range hoods, which is why those appliances have symptom pages here and no code pages.
What to do about it
- Close the door firmly and listen for the latch.
- Check the latch and strike for wear and the seal for anything caught in it.
- If it latches cleanly and the light stays, the switch is the repair.
Where this goes next
The job this usually becomes is diagnostic visit, and that page carries a starting figure and the reasons that move it. If it turns out to be nothing — and on this make a real share of these are modes, reminders and settings rather than problems — the visit ends there and you pay the diagnostic and nothing else, or call (305) 506-1256 and describe what the panel is doing before booking anything.
