No Samsung top-load or front-load washing machine models have been subject to recalls specifically for the dC (or DC) door error, based on available records from Samsung, NHTSA, and service bulletins. The dC code is a standard diagnostic alert for lid/door switch issues or unbalanced loads, not a widespread defect warranting manufacturer recalls.
Why No Recalls Exist
Recalls typically address safety hazards like fire risks or structural failures, not intermittent sensor faults like dC, which stem from wear, misalignment, or debris as discussed earlier. Samsung handles these via extended warranties or service campaigns for select models, but no broad dC-specific actions appear in U.S., EU, or global databases up to 2026.
User forums note frequent dC on models like WA52J8700AP or WA45M7050AW, but these are isolated repairs (lid lock replacement), not recall-eligible.
Potentially Affected High-Complaint Models
While not recalled, these top-load models commonly report dC from lid switch failures:
-
WA52J8700AP/A2
-
WA45N5300AW
-
WA50R5400AV
-
WA54R7200AW
Front-loaders (DC error) like WF45R6100AV see similar patterns, but again, no recalls. Check your model’s service bulletins on Samsung’s site or serial number via their recall checker.
Verification Steps
Enter your model/serial on samsung.com/support/recall (U.S.) or local equivalent—no dC hits. Contact support for free repair if under warranty; otherwise, lid lock swap resolves most.
