Samsung Dishwasher HC2 Error Code

VERIFIED

Error code HC2
Appliance Dishwasher

Drying that gives up

  • The wash portion ends as usual
  • The dry portion fails, quits early or lasts moments
  • Plates remain damp with hardly any warmth in the air

Airflow steps from Samsung

  1. Make sure nothing sits over the vent on the outside of the door.
  2. Keep tall plastic items from leaning on the vent outlet inside.
  3. Keep the vent lip wiped and dry so air can pass during drying.

Compare with these codes

  • HC4: the same drying failure with unusually hot vent air
  • HC1: a cycle that stops partway
  • FC2: FC2, FC3 and FC4 are drying faults too
