# Samsung dryer error code HC2

### What HC2 means on this make

A gas dryer that tumbles cold. The sequence is an igniter that glows, a valve that opens and a flame sensor that confirms the flame, and this code means the sequence did not complete. Each of the three parts fails often enough to be worth telling apart before anything is ordered, and none of them is a job for an owner.

### 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

- Confirm the gas supply to the dryer is on and that other gas appliances in the house work.
- Power the dryer off for two to three minutes and try one more cycle.
- If it still will not light, stop there. A gas train is measured and tested rather than guessed at.

### Where this goes next

The job this usually becomes is [gas dryer igniter replacement](/services/gas-dryer-igniter-replacement/), 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.
