Samsung DRY MODE FAN status display

What it means

In Dry mode, Samsung sets fan behavior automatically. A low or fixed fan speed in Dry mode is not a fan motor error by itself. Manual trigger: Dry mode limits indoor fan speed automatically.

Urgency

Likely causes

Homeowner fix

Switch to Cool or Fan mode if you want manual fan-speed control. Expected result: normal fan-speed choices return outside Dry mode.

When to call a pro

Call for service if the fan will not run in any mode or a fan C-code appears.

Repair vs replace

This is a normal operating status, not a repair-or-replace decision.
