How to fix Samsung bE

  1. Free the buttons

    Turn the dryer off. Go across the panel pressing each button once and letting it spring back, pressing near the edges too, to free any that are stuck. Remove anything leaning on the panel.

  2. Power back on

    Turn the dryer on again and see if the code clears.

When to call a technician

If a button is visibly damaged or the code returns as soon as the dryer powers on, the control panel needs service.
