If your Samsung dryer is displaying an error code, there are a few things you can try to reset it. First, unplug the dryer from the power outlet and then plug it back in. This will sometimes reset the error code. If that doesn't work, you can try pressing and holding the Start/Pause button for 5 seconds. This will also sometimes reset the error code. If neither of these work, you will need to contact Samsung customer service for further assistance.

The error code can happen for a few reasons. One reason is that the dryer is not getting enough power. This can be caused by a faulty power cord or a tripped circuit breaker. Another reason is that there is something blocking the dryer's door from closing properly. This could be a piece of clothing or a towel. Finally, the error code can also be caused by a problem with the dryer's control board.
