Samsung Dryer 9C1 / 9E / 2E / 9E1 error code

Difficulty: Easy · Cost: $0–$150 · Duration: 5–10m

These codes mean your Samsung dryer detected an irregularity in the electrical voltage being supplied to it. This can be caused by using an extension cord, sharing a circuit with other appliances, an incorrectly installed power cord on electric dryers, or using the dryer in a country other than where it was sold. If the dryer is stacked with a washer using a multi-control kit a 9C1 error can appear on the washer if you try to control the dryer within 5 seconds of turning the washer on — a SmartThings software update resolves this.

Common causes

  • Dryer is sharing a circuit with other appliances causing voltage irregularities
  • Extension cord is being used instead of a direct wall connection
  • Power cord on an electric dryer has not been installed correctly
  • Dryer is being used in a country other than where it was sold
  • On stacked units with multi-control kit the dryer was controlled too soon after turning on the washer

How to fix it

  1. 1

    Make sure the dryer is connected directly to a dedicated wall outlet — do not use an extension cord

  2. 2

    Check that the dryer is on its own dedicated circuit

  3. 3

    On electric dryers confirm the power cord has been installed correctly and the correct voltage is being supplied

  4. 4

    If using a multi-control kit add the dryer to SmartThings and install the available software update to resolve the 5-second timing issue

  5. 5

    If the error continues arrange professional service
