What DC means

On the Samsung WD90F27 series and WD90F53AVS Laundry Combo, DC means the door is open. The unit will not run a wash or dry cycle until the door is closed, and the display asks you to close the washer door and try again. It is the simplest code on this unit, and a similar message exists on the Bespoke AI Laundry Combo family. You will see DC with the cycle on hold.

Common causes of DC

  • Door not fully closed or latched
  • Laundry or a sleeve caught between the door and the seal
  • Door switch not sensing a closed door
✓ One safe check you can try

1. Open the door and check that no clothing is caught in the seal. 2. Remove anything blocking the door, such as a hanging sleeve. 3. Close the door firmly until it clicks. 4. Tap Start again. 5. If DC stays with the door shut, check the door seal for debris.

! Why to stop there
  • If the door is shut and DC stays, we cannot tell whether the latch or the door switch is the cause.
  • We check the latch, switch and wiring before we suggest a part.
  • We quote any latch repair in writing before starting, and we stand behind the work for 30 days.
Opening a panel yourself does not automatically cancel a manufacturer warranty, but it can cause accidental damage, and some manufacturers set their own service conditions. Check your warranty terms, or ask us, before deciding.
DCDC questions
The door is closed. Why does DC still show?

The latch may not be catching, or a sleeve may sit in the seal. Open it, clear the seal, close it firmly and try again. Check both sides of the door opening, because a sleeve can hide at the hinge side.

How does DC differ from DC1?

No. DC means the door is open. DC1 points to the door lock and unlock switch not working correctly, even when the door seems shut. Both appear on the display, so read the exact characters before you decide what to do.

Can I force the door shut?

No. Forcing it can bend the latch. A gentle firm close is enough, and if it will not latch, we inspect the door. Forcing also strains the hinge, so a stubborn door deserves a proper look.
