What to do if my Samsung Dryer will not start?
- H
  Hannah McintyreAug 17, 2025
  If your Samsung Dryer won't start, ensure all wires are correctly connected, and the dryer is plugged in. Check for blown fuses or tripped circuit breakers. Verify the door switch is functional and the door is closed, looking for error code 3. Confirm the Start/Pause rotary selector dial and the control board are operational. Also, check if the belt is off or broken, activating the Belt Cut-off Switch, and ensure the drive motor is functional. Finally, check the motor winding resistance: it should be 2.88 ohms between pin #3 and 4, and 3.5 ohms between pin #4 and 5.

Why is my Samsung DV456 Dryer so noisy and vibrating?
- T
  Terri DeanAug 19, 2025
  A noisy and vibrating Samsung dryer can be caused by several issues. A thumping sound may indicate a loose tumbler baffle, worn or misaligned rear tumbler rollers, an out-of-round tumbler, or a high weld seam on the tumbler. Ticking sounds can be due to a loose wire harness or an object caught in the blower wheel area. Scraping sounds may be caused by a front or rear bulkhead felt seal out of position or worn tumbler front bearings. A roaring sound could mean the blower wheel is rubbing on the blower housing or the motor bearings are bad. A popping or squealing sound could indicate a sticky or frayed belt.

  traceystoneAug 22, 2025
  If your Samsung dryer runs but doesn't heat, check for an open heating element, a hi-limit that trips easily or is open, or a regulating thermostat that trips easily or is open. Also, inspect the membrane switch for being open and check the thermistor.

Why are my clothes wrinkled and taking too long to dry in my Samsung DV456 Dryer?
- M
  Madeline BrowningAug 26, 2025
  Clothes may be wrinkled, have a rough texture, or take too long to dry in your Samsung dryer due to several reasons. Ensure the lint filter is clean and there are no restrictions in the exhaust. Check that the outside exhaust hood damper door isn't stuck closed and the exhaust isn't too long, doesn't have too many elbows, or uses flex ductwork. Make sure the dryer has sufficient intake air and the tumbler speed is correct, with no belt slippage. Also, check for a bound blower impeller and remove any foreign material. Avoid overloading the dryer, check clothing labels for fabric content and the selected cycle, and ensure clothes aren't too wet from the washer.

Why does my Samsung DV456 Dryer run for a few minutes and then stop?
- A
  Arthur OrtizAug 28, 2025
  Your Samsung dryer might run for a few minutes and then stop due to lint buildup around the drive motor, low voltage, a blocked blower impeller in the blower housing, or the drive motor's start switch contacts being stuck closed.

What to do when the motor runs but the tumbler won't turn on my Samsung Dryer?
- C
  Carol HoltAug 30, 2025
  If the motor runs but the tumbler won't turn on your Samsung dryer, the belt might be off, broken, or damaged. Another potential cause could be a weak or stretched idler tension spring. Also, the idler pulley might be jammed or stuck.

What to do if my Samsung DV456 Dryer keeps blowing fuses?
- A
  anunezSep 2, 2025
  If your Samsung dryer keeps blowing fuses or tripping the circuit breaker, check the belt connection, the motor winding continuity (rotor, stator, generator), and the motor protector's condition. If these components are not the cause, the PCB assembly may be faulty and require replacement.

Why does my gas Samsung DV456 Dryer blow fuses?
- J
  Justin DavisSep 5, 2025
  If your gas Samsung dryer is blowing fuses, it could be due to several reasons. During ignition, the dryer draws a certain amperage; if it's drawing more than usual with the burner ON, the issue might be with the house wiring, fuse box, or circuit breaker. Also, check for a loose igniter harness shorted to the base, incorrect wiring or a wire shorted to ground, or a drive motor winding shorting to ground.

Why does the flame go out after ignition in my Samsung gas Dryer?
- J
  Jacob MirandaSep 7, 2025
  If the gas ignites but the flame goes out in your Samsung gas dryer, it could be due to radiant sensor contacts opening prematurely, a weak gas valve coil that opens when stressed by higher temperatures, a weak hi-limit, poor venting, or bad drum seals.
