Samsung Dishwasher tC1 tC2 Error Codes

VERIFIED

Error code tC1, tC2
Appliance Dishwasher

These codes turn up once the wash portion is over. The cycle then fails in the drying stage or ends earlier than it should.

Keep the air moving

  • The vent on the outside of the door has to stay uncovered.
  • Tall plastic items should not stand against the vent outlet inside the tub, so air can circulate while the dishes dry.

Drying codes elsewhere in the list

  • tC, tE1: no program starts at all.
  • HC2: the wash completes but drying fails or ends early.
  • HC4: drying trouble with unusually hot air at the door vent.

Samsung dishwasher repair in San Francisco

If the drying cycle keeps failing even with the vents clear, Samsung dishwasher repair is available to San Francisco and Bay Area customers on (415) 969-6153. Note the code, your model number and how you loaded the tub before you call.

Model compatibility: Samsung reuses codes across series and model years, so tC1, tC2 may mean something different on another appliance or generation. Confirm this against your model’s documentation and record your full model number before acting.
