So, thinking of how to fix this error? Turn off the dryer and touch and release each button on the panel one by one, moving back and forth to cover all edges of each button. In case this error still appears, this guide provides troubleshooting solutions for code errors in a dryer and will assist you in resolving the issue. 

What Is the Meaning of a bE Error Code?

Are you thinking about what the bE error code actually means? The button is represented by the letter ‘b.’ The abbreviation ‘bE’ stands for ‘button Error’. If this code appears on the display of your dryer, the dryer is informing you that a button is stuck. It is one of the common codes of Samsung dryer error symbols. This happens when you press a button too many times or too hard, which results in getting stuck. And as the button is stuck, the dryer will not operate properly.

The causes for a bE error code showing on your display are as follows: 

  1. Stuck button
  2. Faulty door switch

Step-by-step solution to Samsung dryer bE code

1. Stuck button

One of the reasons your Samsung dryer is throwing the code BE is if a button is stuck. When this happens, your dryer will not function properly.

Solution

This is a very easy problem to fix. No worries! Just press or wiggle every button in the dryer until the stuck button is loosened. Once the button is not stuck anymore the bE error code will go away, and your Samsung dryer should start working normally again.

2. Faulty door switch

When the Samsung dryer door switch is faulty, it will send bE error code to the control board to stop the dryer. The dryer will not start while the door is closed if the door switch fails.

Solution:

Open the dryer door and press the door switch lever to rapidly test the door switch. The door switch is faulty if the dryer drum light stays on. If this is the case the switch needs to be replaced. In order to replace the door switch, the instructions are as follows: 

  1. Turn off the dryer- unplug the main switch. 
  2. Remove the lint screen from the dryer- it has to be removed from the dryer’s top panel housing.
  3. Pull up the top panel- Push a putty knife beneath the lid towards the left and right corners of the front of the dryer to loosen the clamps that hold the top of the dryer in place. Raise the top and secure it against the dryer’s back wall.
  4. Disconnect the cable harness for the door switch- Release the locking tab on the wire harness plug for the door switch with a slot screwdriver. Remove the wire harness and disconnect it.
  5. Remove the door switch- Remove the current door switch’s mounting screws. Remove the dryer’s door switch and lay it aside for trash.
  6. Replace the door switch- Install the replacement door switch and tighten the mounting screws.
  7.  Connect new switch harness- Connect the new switch’s wire harness to the connection connector. Check to see if the locking tab is engaged.
  8. Put the dryer back together- Lower the top panel and secure it with a click. Reinstall the lint duct housing screws as well as the lint screen.
  9. Reconnect the dryer’s power source.
  10. Connect the dryer to a wall outlet- Turn on the gas supply to the dryer if it’s a gas dryer.
