Samsung Dryer Error Code bE — Button Stuck Error
What this means
The bE error indicates one or more buttons on the dryer's control panel are stuck, shorted, or being pressed continuously. The dryer cannot accept commands until the issue is resolved.
Alternate codes: bE2, 6E
Step-by-step fix
3 stepsClean the control panel
Wipe around all buttons with a slightly damp cloth to remove residue, lint, or fabric softener buildup that might cause a button to stick.
Don't spray cleaner directly onto the panel — moisture can seep behind buttons.
Press each button individually
Press and release each button to check if any feel sticky or don't spring back. Pay attention to Power and Start buttons.
If a specific button is stuck, gently wiggle it to free it.
Power cycle the dryer
Unplug for 2 minutes and plug back in. If it was a software glitch, this will clear it.
If the error keeps returning, the control panel membrane is likely failing.
When to call a professional
If no button is physically stuck but the error persists, the control panel overlay or board may need replacement.
