  If your Samsung Dryer doesn't seem to be drying clothes properly, make sure the exhaust hood outside your home opens and closes freely. Check the exhaust system for lint buildup and clean it annually. Use a 4” rigid metal exhaust duct and avoid overloading the dryer. Sort heavy items from lightweight items, and reposition large, bulky items. Ensure your washer is draining properly and, if the load is too small, add a few towels.

  If your Samsung Dryer is making unusual noises, check the load for objects like coins, loose buttons, or nails and remove them. It's normal to hear the gas valve or heating element cycle on and off. Ensure the dryer is leveled properly and remember that a humming sound is normal due to the airflow.

  If your Samsung Dryer isn't heating, check your home’s circuit breakers or fuses. Make sure you've selected a heat setting other than Air Fluff. For gas dryers, ensure the gas supply is on. Also, clean the lint filter and exhaust duct. The dryer may also be in the cool-down phase of the cycle.

  To prevent lint on clothes when using your Samsung Dryer, ensure the lint filter is cleaned before every load. For loads producing high amounts of lint, clean the filter during the cycle if needed. Separate lint-producing fabrics from lint-trapping clothes, divide large loads into smaller ones, and check pockets thoroughly before washing and drying.

  If your Samsung Dryer doesn’t run, make sure the door is latched shut and the power cord is plugged into a live electrical outlet. Check your home’s circuit breakers or fuses. If the door was opened during the cycle, press the Start/Pause button again.

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

  If your Samsung Dryer is causing odors, it may be due to household odors from paint, varnish, or strong cleaners entering with the surrounding room air. Ventilate the room completely before using the dryer to resolve this.
