Samsung Dryer Error Code bC2

The bC2 error code on a Samsung dryer means a Button Stuck Error has been detected on a key other than the Start button. The control system has identified that one of the panel buttons is sending a continuous input signal, suggesting it is physically jammed or that the underlying switch on the Sub PBA has failed. The dryer will not operate normally until the fault is resolved.

No, you should not continue running the dryer while the bC2 error is active. The stuck-button condition can cause unintended operation or prevent the dryer from responding correctly to user input. Resolve the fault before resuming use to avoid any risk of the dryer behaving unpredictably during a cycle.

If only cleaning is needed, there is no parts cost involved. If the Sub PBA requires replacement, parts typically range from around 40 to 120 dollars depending on the specific model, with professional labor adding another 80 to 150 dollars in most markets. Diagnosing whether the board or just a button cap is at fault before ordering parts can help avoid unnecessary expenses.

In many cases, yes. Start by inspecting all control panel buttons for visible debris, residue, or sticking, and clean the panel carefully. If a button feels mechanically stuck, cleaning around it may resolve the issue without any parts. If the Sub PBA's internal switch has failed, replacing the board is typically required, which is a more involved repair but can be done by a confident DIYer familiar with appliance disassembly.

A power reset by unplugging the dryer for a few minutes may temporarily clear the bC2 error, but it will return if the underlying cause is not corrected. If the button is physically stuck or the Sub PBA switch has failed, the error will reappear as soon as the dryer powers back on and detects the continuous input signal again.
