What to do if my Samsung Dryer will not start?
- A
  adkinsvincentAug 15, 2025
  If your Samsung Dryer will not start, ensure all wires are correctly connected to their terminals and that the dryer is properly plugged in. Also, check for a blown fuse or tripped circuit breaker. Verify the door switch is functional and the door is completely closed, looking for error code 3 if necessary. Confirm the Start/Pause rotary selector dial is working, the control board is operational, the belt is intact and the belt cut-off switch is working. Finally, check that the drive motor is functional, and test the motor winding resistance, which should be 2.88 ohms between pin #3 and 4, and 3.5 ohms between pin #4 and 5.

Why is the motor running but the tumbler won't turn in my Samsung Dryer?

  jamestranAug 18, 2025
  If your Samsung Dryer is running but the tumbler isn't turning, the belt might be off, broken, or damaged. Another possible cause is a weak or stretched idler tension spring. Also, the idler pulley might be jammed or stuck.

Why is my Samsung DC68-02365H-03 noisy and/or vibrating?

  Holly JeffersonAug 22, 2025
  If your Samsung Dryer is making thumping noises, check for a loose tumbler baffle, worn or misaligned rear tumbler rollers, an out-of-round tumbler, or a high weld seam on the tumbler. For ticking noises, check for a loose wire harness or an object caught in the blower wheel area. Scraping sounds indicate a front or rear bulkhead felt seal out of position or worn tumbler front bearings. Roaring sounds suggest the blower wheel is rubbing on the blower housing or there are bad motor bearings. Popping or squealing sounds indicate a sticky or frayed belt.

Why does my Samsung Dryer keep blowing fuses or tripping the circuit breaker?
- S
  Steven ValenzuelaAug 26, 2025
  If your Samsung Dryer is causing fuses to blow or tripping the circuit breaker, check if the belt is well connected and if the motor winding is continuous, including the rotor winding, stator winding, and generator. Also, check if the motor protector is normal. If these points are normal, it may indicate that the PCB assembly is faulty and needs replacement.

Why does my Samsung Dryer (gas model) blow fuses or trip the circuit breaker?
- R
  rita07Aug 28, 2025
  If your Samsung gas dryer blows fuses or trips the circuit breaker, it could be due to several reasons. During ignition, the dryer draws a certain amount of amps, and it draws another amount with the burner on. If the dryer is drawing more amps than usual, the issue might be with the house wiring, fuse box, or circuit breaker. Other potential causes include a loose igniter harness shorted to the base, incorrect wiring or a wire shorted to ground, or the drive motor winding shorting to ground. Check these components to identify the problem.

Why does my Samsung DC68-02365H-03 Dryer run for a few minutes and then stop?
- A
  Angela PollardSep 1, 2025
  If your Samsung Dryer runs for a few minutes and then stops, there might be lint buildup around the drive motor. Another possible cause is low voltage. The blower impeller could also be blocked in the blower housing, or the drive motor's start switch contacts might be stuck closed.

Why will my Samsung DC68-02365H-03 Dryer not heat but the motor runs?
- R
  Rebecca YatesSep 4, 2025
  If your Samsung Dryer is not heating but the motor is running, check for an open heating element. Also, check if the Hi-Limit trips easily or is open, and if the regulating thermostat trips easily or is open. Additionally, verify if the membrane switch is open and check the thermistor.

How to fix improper drying, wrinkled clothes, or long dry time in my Samsung DC68-02365H-03 Dryer?
- A
  Andrew HallSep 7, 2025
  If your Samsung Dryer is causing improper drying, resulting in wrinkled clothes, rough texture, or long dry times, ensure the lint filter is clean and there are no restrictions in the exhaust. Check if the outside exhaust hood damper door is stuck closed. Also, verify that the exhaust is not too long, doesn't have too many elbows, and doesn't have flexible ductwork installed. Ensure there's sufficient intake air available for the dryer and that the tumbler speed is correct, checking for a slipping tumbler belt. Look for a bound blower impeller and remove any foreign material in the blower area. Avoid overloading the dryer and check clothing labels for fabric content and the selected cycle. Finally, ensure clothes are not too wet due to insufficient spin out by the washer.

Why does the gas ignite but the flame goes out in my Samsung DC68-02365H-03?
- K
  Kerry SmithSep 12, 2025
  If the gas ignites in your Samsung Dryer, but the flame goes out shortly after, check if the radiant sensor contacts are opening prematurely. Also, a weak gas valve coil may open when stressed by higher temperatures. Other potential causes include a weak Hi-Limit, poor venting, or bad drum seals.
