How to Fix Samsung Dryer Error SC

Error Code: Dryer Difficulty: Hard

Problem: Steam system fault; condenser blockage, generator failure, or water supply issue (steam-capable models only)

How to Fix Dryer Error

• UNPLUG dryer from electrical power. Turn off water supply valve to steam inlet hose.
• Remove front lower access panel to expose steam generator assembly.
• Disconnect water inlet hose and drain residual water into container. Inspect for mineral buildup or blockages.
• Descale steam generator using manufacturer-approved solution: pour into water reservoir, run maintenance cycle per manual instructions.
• Disconnect steam generator wiring harness. Test heating element resistance (should be 30-60Ω). Infinite resistance indicates open element.
• If generator is faulty or heavily scaled, replace assembly using OEM part DC97-18550A: disconnect water lines, remove mounting hardware, extract old unit, install new assembly.
• Reconnect water lines with new hose clamps. Reconnect electrical harness securely.
• Restore water supply and power. Run steam function test cycle while verifying steam production and absence of leaks at all connections.

Still Not Working?

If the replacement part didn’t fix the issue, you may have a wiring problem or main board failure.
