Samsung dryer dC: Door closure is not confirmed

Documentation checkedBy ErrHiveUpdated October 28, 2026

THE SHORT ANSWER

Door closure is not confirmed.

dC points to the dryer door, latch or closure sensing. First remove anything caught between the door and cabinet.

First safe check

Check for fabric trapped at the door opening.

THE DETAILS MATTER

Scope & troubleshooting notes

How to interpret this result

During a vent test, dC can simply mean the test cannot run with the door open. Do not confuse this dryer code with washer dC, whose meaning depends on the washer model.
