# Samsung dryer error code dC

### What dC means on this make

A dryer will not run with the door in doubt, and on these machines the doubt is usually mechanical: a latch that has worn round, a strike plate that has moved, or a door that has dropped slightly on its hinge over the years. The switch itself is the least common of the three and the one people replace first.

### The other ways Samsung prints this one

dC · dE · dF · do · d0 · 1 DC · 1 dF

Samsung publishes a condition and then every string that can stand for it, and which one your machine shows depends on the panel it was built with. They mean the same thing and they are one page here, so whichever of them you searched for, this is the right page.

### Where this appears, and why not to clear it

On the appliance’s own display. Samsung reports errors two ways: machines with a digital display show a code, and the same machines without one blink their cycle lights instead. Both are published by the maker and both are on this site. Photograph what the panel shows before cutting the power — Samsung asks for this itself on its refrigerator and dishwasher pages, and it is the one thing that makes a first visit more useful. A code that has been reset is information a technician no longer has.

### What to do about it

- Close the door firmly and listen for the latch to engage.
- Look at the latch and the strike for wear, and at whether the door sits square in the opening.
- Check nothing is caught in the seal.
- If the door latches properly and the code stays, the switch is the repair.

### Where this goes next

The job this usually becomes is [diagnostic visit](/services/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](tel:+13055061256) and describe what the panel is doing before booking anything.
