How to Fix Samsung Dryer Error E2

Error Code: Dryer Difficulty: Moderate

Problem: Inlet thermistor circuit fault (older models); sensor malfunction affecting intake air temperature monitoring

How to Fix Dryer Error

• UNPLUG dryer from electrical power.
• Remove front lower access panel or rear panel depending on model to access inlet thermistor location (typically near drum inlet).
• Locate inlet thermistor mounted on air duct assembly. Disconnect wiring harness.
• Measure resistance across sensor terminals with multimeter at room temperature. Expected value: approximately 10kΩ (±10%).
• If reading is infinite, zero, or significantly deviates from specification, replace sensor.
• Remove retaining clip or screw securing thermistor. Carefully withdraw sensor from mounting location.
• Clean mounting area thoroughly. Apply thermal paste to sensing tip of new sensor.
• Install new thermistor using OEM part DC34-00041A. Secure mounting hardware. Route wiring clear of drum and moving components.
• Reconnect harness. Reassemble panels. Restore power and verify temperature readings stabilize correctly during operation.

Still Not Working?

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