Error codeAC6, AE6
ApplianceDryer
Two circuit boards, a main one and an inverter one, have to exchange signals, and AC6 or AE6 is Samsung’s prompt to inspect that exchange (UK tumble dryer list). It is not tied to specific models.
Samsung’s advice
Run the cycle once more.
If the display still carries the code, go to a service centre.
Entries for related codes
AC: the wider communication family, nine codes in all.
AC7: control electronics, with a power-off routine of its own.
A dryer in San Francisco or the Bay Area that keeps showing AC6 after a restart can be booked through Samsung dryer repair. Use (415) 969-6153 and have the code and model number to hand.
Model compatibility: Samsung reuses codes across series and model years, so AC6, AE6 may mean something different on another appliance or generation. Confirm this against your model’s documentation and record your full model number before acting.

Communication fault between the main and inverter circuit boards.
