  To troubleshoot a Samsung Dryer that isn't drying, ensure the exhaust hood outside your home opens and closes freely. Check the exhaust system for lint buildup and use a 4” rigid metal exhaust duct. Avoid overloading the dryer (1 wash load = 1 dryer load), sort heavy and lightweight items, and reposition large, bulky items for even drying. Also, confirm that your washer drains properly and consider adding a few towels if the load is too small.

  To troubleshoot a Samsung Dryer that is not heating, first check your home’s circuit breakers or fuses. Make sure you've selected a heat setting other than Air Fluff. If it's a gas dryer, verify the gas supply is on. Clean the lint filter and exhaust duct. Also, the dryer may be in the cool-down phase of the cycle.

Why is my Samsung DV5471AEP/XAA Dryer so noisy?

  John HarrisAug 28, 2025
  If your Samsung Dryer is making noise, check the load for objects like coins or buttons and remove them. The dryer gas valve or heating element cycling on and off is normal. Ensure the dryer is leveled properly according to the installation instructions. A humming sound can occur due to air moving through the dryer drum and exhaust system.

  To address lint on clothes after drying in your Samsung Dryer, clean the lint filter before every load and possibly during cycles with high lint production.
