Samsung Dryer Error Code Ct: Meaning and Fix
Reading the dryer display
On a dryer the code shows in the time-remaining window or as blinking status lights. Write down the characters before you press anything, because starting a new cycle usually clears the display. Samsung codes combine a digit with a letter, and some alternate with the cycle time.
Samsung displays numeric-plus-letter codes such as 4C, 5E or 21E, and many models run a Smart Care self-check through the app. Washers and dryers often use letter pairs, refrigerators use number plus E. The codes apply to model numbers such as DW80R5061US, DW80K7050US and DV45T6000EW; check the label on your unit to confirm yours.
What causes Ct
- Dryer in a very cold garage or unheated room
- Test run right after a long hot cycle
- Dryer in a very hot space
How to fix it
- Move the test to a time when the room is within normal temperature.
- Let the dryer sit for 30 minutes to reach room temperature.
- Make sure the area around the dryer is ventilated.
- Run the Vent Blockage test again.
