Samsung washing machine dryer declines to dry garments on programs with drying:
the drying cycle does not start at all. The appliance instantly reveals the FE/ FC mistake on display screen;
the washer dryer disturbs drying as well as issues the FE/ FC error code.

The definition of the FE mistake code in Samsung washer clothes dryer
The FE error code (Follower Mistake abbreviation from English) showing up on Samsung washer dryer’s screen suggests a drying out follower mistake For some reason, its rotation is difficult. For that reason, the drying out process disturbs or doesn’t start whatsoever.
Keep in mind! This mistake is common for Samsung designs with the option of drying.
Usually, the FE mistake shows severe troubles in the drying out procedure. But sometimes you can recognize the mistake of ventilation on your own.
When does the FE mistake show up and how to repair it?
There could be a self-diagnosis system failure. In many cases, the mistake code may appear as a result of a malfunction of the self-test of the washing machine dryer. Thus, the control module gets a false signal. Then, the self-diagnosis issues a message with an error code that is not actually happening.
To handle it, turn off the washing machine clothes dryer with the Begin/ Time out button. Next off, draw the cable out of the socket. After 5-10 mins turn on and also begin the drying setting once more. If the FE code is incorrect, it will certainly no longer appear.
When the reboot of the washer dryer does not assist, after that the FE mistake suggests a severe malfunction. In this instance, your Samsung washing machine dryer requires professional help.
Main source of the FE error.
| Signs of an error | Possible cause of occurrence | Repair or replacement |
| Samsung washer dryer doesn’t start the drying cycle or interrupts it in 1-2 minutes after the start. Then, the appliance issues the FE code on the screen. | There is faulty fan drying, caused by:breakdown of the starting capacitor;clogging of the fan impeller with debris;drying up of the bearing grease;breakage of the fan belt drive;breakage of the fan motor winding (the fan motor has burnt out). | Accordingly, it is necessary to do the following:replace the starting capacitor;remove debris that interferes with the free rotation of the impeller;grease the fan bearing;put a new belt on the drive.In the case of fan motor burning out, the device requires a complete fan replacement. |
| Interruption of a signal in the fan circuit. Possible reasons for the fault:Poor contact of the starting capacitor with the connector due to contamination or oxidation;the condenser has moved from its place (it often occurs during the top cover closing);there is an open or short circuit in the wiring to the fan. | To fix these failures, you have to:Clean or replace poor contacts in the place of the starting capacitor;fix the capacitor in the connector more carefully (when it fails out);Twist a broken wire in a loop or replace the entire plume. | |
| Samsung washer dryer doesn’t activate drying. The fan error code lights up on display. | The problem is in a defective control module. It is about the washing machine’s brain, which controls all processes. The causes for the module failure:damage to tracks or radio elements (diodes, capacitors, resistors, etc.) of the drying unit on the module;failure of the processor. | Restoring the damaged elements on the board is necessary. For this, solder the paths and replace burnt radio parts (diodes, capacitors, resistors, etc.) If this doesn’t help to restore the machine’s operation or chip processor has burnt, the device requires complete replacement of the control module. |
