Why doesn't my Samsung DV361EWBEWR/A3 Dryer dry clothes completely?
- B
  Brian SmithAug 21, 2025
  Several factors can affect drying performance. Ensure the exhaust hood outside your home opens and closes freely and that the exhaust system is free of lint buildup. Use a 4” rigid metal exhaust duct. Avoid overloading the dryer; one wash load should equal one dryer load. Sort heavy items from lightweight items. Large, bulky items like blankets or comforters may require repositioning for even drying. Also, check that your washer is draining properly. If the load is too small, add a few towels.

  If your Samsung Dryer isn't heating, first check the home’s circuit breaker and fuses. Make sure you've selected a heat setting other than Air Fluff. If it's a gas dryer, check that the gas supply is on. Clean the lint filter and exhaust duct. Also, the dryer may have moved into the cool-down phase of the cycle.

  If your Samsung Dryer is making noise, check the load for objects such as coins, loose buttons, or nails, and remove them. It's normal to hear the dryer gas valve or heating element cycle on and off. Ensure the dryer is leveled properly according to the installation instructions. A humming sound is also normal due to the high velocity of air moving through the dryer drum and exhaust system.

  If your Samsung Dryer shuts off before the load is dry, the load might be too small. Try adding more items or a few towels and restart the cycle. Alternatively, the load could be too large, so remove some items and restart the dryer.

  If your Samsung Dryer isn't drying clothes completely, make sure the exhaust hood outside your home can open and close freely. Inspect the exhaust system for lint buildup and clean it annually. Use a 4” rigid metal exhaust duct. Avoid overloading the dryer, matching one wash load to one dryer load. Sort heavy items from lightweight ones. Large items may need repositioning for even drying. Also, ensure your washer is draining properly and, if the load is too small, add a few towels.

  Alexander HarrisonSep 1, 2025
  If your Samsung Dryer shuts off before the load is dry, it might be due to the load size. If the load is too small, add more items or a few towels and restart the cycle. If the load is too large, remove some items before restarting.

How to fix uneven drying in my Samsung DV361EWBEWR/A3 Dryer?
- M
  Madison WoodSep 3, 2025
  Uneven drying can occur when seams, pockets, or heavy areas aren't completely dry while the rest of the load is. This is normal; select the More Dry setting if needed. If you're drying one heavy item with a lightweight load, the heavy item may not dry completely. Sort heavy items from lightweight items for better results.
