Samsung Dryer Error Code ACA

ACASamsung Dryer

What this code means

Communication error between main and compressor inverter PBA (compressor inverter variant of AC6).

First step from the service manual

Check the wire connections and terminal contacts between the main and inverter PBAs; if the communication circuit is faulty, replace PBA.

Next steps: diagnose the root cause

1
Verify the error code is active

Power cycle the unit and see if the code returns. If it does, the fault is persistent and requires diagnosis.
