Samsung Dryer dF code: Door switch error

The dryer is getting an incorrect signal from its door switch. Unlike a simple door-open code, this usually means the switch or its wiring is at fault.

Most common causes

  1. Faulty door switch
  2. Loose or damaged door switch wiring
  3. Damaged door latch pressing the switch incorrectly

What you can safely check yourself

  1. Close the door firmly and make sure nothing is caught in it.
  2. Power the dryer off for a minute, then back on and restart.

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