Samsung Dryer code **bE2** is associated with **jammed / stuck button error**. The display identifies the system or condition the control detected, but it does not by itself prove which individual part should be replaced. A display code is evidence from the control system, not a component test result. That distinction matters because a connector, supply condition, obstruction, or feedback signal can mimic a failed component. The recorded display form is **bE2**. Search normalization stores it as **BE2** while preserving the characters a homeowner actually sees.

Quick answer
Jammed / stuck button error.
Model compatibility: Samsung can reuse or reformat codes across series and model years, so BE2 may mean something different on another appliance or generation. Confirm this against your model’s documentation and record your full model number before acting.
Plain language
What this code means
Samsung Dryer code **bE2** is associated with **jammed / stuck button error**. The display identifies the system or condition the control detected, but it does not by itself prove which individual part should be replaced. A display code is evidence from the control system, not a component test result. That distinction matters because a connector, supply condition, obstruction, or feedback signal can mimic a failed component. The recorded display form is **bE2**.

Signs
Symptoms you may notice
One clue that supports the bE2 diagnosis is that one or more controls may not respond as expected or may appear held down.
When the bE2 condition is present, the appliance can beep, cancel, or refuse to start while the input is detected.
While bE2 is active, the code can return immediately when the control panel self-check runs.
bE2 can be accompanied by this pattern: bE2 appears and drying may pause or performance may change because of jammed / stuck button error.
Depending on the exact model, heat, airflow, motor, drainage, door, or sensor behavior can be affected depending on the code family.
These are simple, non-hazardous checks only. If anything is unclear, stop and contact a technician.
To rule out an accessible cause, make sure no object, moisture, cleaner residue, or protective film is pressing the control.
A safe owner-level check is to dry and clean the exterior control surface without flooding it.
As an external check for bE2, try the documented Control Lock/Child Lock procedure if relevant.
For bE2, start by doing this: do not open the panel to bypass a stuck key.
Before opening any service area, record the code and whether the dryer is vented or heat-pump/ventless.
As an external check for bE2, clean/inspect lint filter, heat exchanger, water tank/drain, and external vent only when relevant.
Important safety warning. Stop for burning smell, smoke, gas odor, repeated breaker trips, or abnormal overheating. Do not bypass thermal protection. Do not bypass a safety device merely to see whether bE2 disappears.

When to request repair service
Once bE2 has returned after the safe checks, If the control is clean and unobstructed but the input code returns, the keypad, harness, or control board may require diagnosis. Preserve any accompanying noise, water level, temperature, or operating-stage details for the technician.

You can try the one reset Samsung documents for the model, but **bE2** returning afterward means the condition still exists. Note the operating stage instead of cycling power repeatedly.
Do not keep operating the appliance through a hazardous symptom just to see whether **bE2** clears. If there is heat, water, electrical, gas, or food-safety risk, stop and arrange diagnosis.
Not automatically. Samsung error codes are diagnostic indicators, not part numbers. Confirm the circuit around **bE2** before replacing anything.
The same-looking code can be reused on another Samsung appliance family or reformatted by region/model year. Match the appliance type and exact model before applying a meaning. This page therefore keeps **Dryer bE2** separate from same-looking codes used by other Samsung appliance families.
