Samsung Dryer Error Codes: oD

Error Code ‘oD’ is an abbreviation for ‘over Dry.’ Typically, when this occurs, it indicates that the dryer did not detect that the clothes were already dry when it was turned on.

One of two things happened: either the moisture sensor failed, or something else was causing it to misinterpret the moisture level inside the dryer. If a moist object or film becomes stuck on the sensor, the sensor may believe that the dryer tub still contains a significant amount of moisture. It may as a result send an incorrect oD error message to the user. Check the moisture sensor and wipe it down with a clean cloth.

If the oD error continues to occur, contact your local repairman. It’s possible that your dryer requires a new moisture sensor. If the thermistor registers a normal resistance reading (10,000 ohms), the error message is most likely caused by faulty or damaged electrical wiring in the circuit.
