  1. Verify the exact code and model

    Reversible

    Photograph the complete display and model label. Code aliases in this record: bC2, bE2. Samsung electric and gas dryers; vent-test indicators and operating codes vary by model.

  2. Perform the first non-destructive check

    Reversible

    Dry the panel and release all controls. Do not clear the display before recording the operating stage and remaining water, heat or load state.

  3. Correct only the documented fault domain

    Reversible

    Service the console if it returns untouched. Do not substitute a similar brand or product code table for the exact model manual.

  4. Verify or escalate

    Reversible

    Run only a safe short test that reaches the original stage. If bC2, bE2 returns, stop repeated resets and use model-specific manufacturer service.
