What the E155 error code actually means

Your Samsung heat pump's outdoor unit is having trouble recognizing and communicating with the indoor units in your home. This usually happens because the system's settings do not match the number of indoor units actually installed, or there is a wiring problem between the indoor and outdoor equipment. A technician will need to check the configuration and restart the system's setup process to resolve this.

Questions people ask about E155

What does E155 mean on a Samsung heat pump?
E155 indicates a communication error between the indoor and outdoor unit during the tracking routine. This occurs either because the tracking process could not complete (pre-tracking failure) or because the number of indoor units configured in the outdoor unit's setting switch does not match the number of indoor units actually installed. The system cannot operate normally until tracking is completed successfully.
Will resetting the system clear the E155 error on a Samsung heat pump?
Pressing the reset key (K3) initiates a new tracking cycle, but it will not permanently resolve the error unless the underlying configuration mismatch or communication fault is corrected first. If the indoor unit count in the setting switch is wrong or the communication wiring has a fault, the E155 error will return after the reset. Fixing the root cause before resetting is the correct sequence.
How much does it cost to repair an E155 error on a Samsung heat pump?
If the fix only requires correcting the setting switch configuration and pressing the reset key, the cost is primarily a service call fee, which typically ranges from $75 to $150 depending on your area. If a faulty indoor unit control board is identified as the cause, parts and labor costs for replacement can range from $200 to $600 or more. Wiring repairs fall somewhere in between depending on the extent of the damage and the labor involved.
How do I fix the E155 error on my Samsung heat pump?
Start by checking the outdoor unit's setting switch to confirm the indoor unit installation number matches the actual number of indoor units connected to the system. If there is a mismatch, correct the setting switch configuration. Then press the reset key (K3) on the outdoor unit to restart the tracking routine. If the error persists after the setting is corrected, inspect the communication wiring between the indoor and outdoor units for loose connections or damage.
Is the E155 error on a Samsung heat pump a safety concern?
E155 is a configuration and communication fault, not a safety-critical failure such as a refrigerant leak or electrical hazard. However, the system will not operate normally while this error is active, meaning heating or cooling will not be available. It should still be addressed promptly to restore comfort and prevent extended strain on system components from repeated failed tracking attempts.
