Samsung Dryer Error Code bE: How to Fix It

The Logic Verdict

Massage the buttons. This error means a button is physically stuck in the “pressed” position. You rarely need a new panel; you just need to unstick the key.

What It Means

The bE code (also bE2, bC2) stands for Button Error. The control board detects that a button has been pressed continuously for more than 12-30 seconds.

Common Causes

1. Stuck Button: Physical debris or sticky residue holding a button down.
2. Overtightened Panel: If you recently moved or repaired it, the screws might be too tight, warping the plastic.
3. Broken Spring: The plastic spring behind the button has snapped.

Step-by-Step Fix

1. Identify the Culprit: Run your fingers over all buttons. Does one feel different? Does it not “click”?
2. The Massage Method: Press and wiggle each button firmly. Sometimes a “flick” motion helps pop it back out.
3. Clean the Edges: Use a toothpick or a toothbrush to clean the gap around the buttons.
4. Loosen Screws: If you are handy, slightly loosen the screws holding the control panel to the frame to relieve pressure.
