Samsung Dryer 9C1 code: Voltage error

The power reaching the dryer is not what it needs to run the motor and heater safely. The dryer stops to protect itself.

Most common causes

  1. Dryer on an extension cord or shared circuit
  2. Tripped half of a double breaker on electric dryers
  3. Loose or incorrect power cord connection
  4. Low or unstable house voltage

What you can safely check yourself

  1. Make sure the dryer is plugged directly into its own wall outlet with no extension cord.
  2. On electric dryers, reset both halves of the dryer's double breaker.
  3. Power the dryer off for a few minutes, then restart.

Unplug the appliance before moving or cleaning anything. Do not open panels, touch gas connections or bypass safety switches.
