How to fix a Samsung DVE51CG8005 Dryer that does not run?
If your Samsung dryer isn't running, ensure the door is securely latched. Check that the power cord is properly plugged into a working electrical outlet and inspect your home's circuit breakers or fuses. If the door was opened mid-cycle, press Start/Pause (Hold to Start) again. Also, a clogged lint filter can prevent the dryer from starting, so make sure to clean it.
Why is my Samsung Dryer not heating up?
If your Samsung dryer is not heating, first, check your home’s circuit breakers or fuses. Some cycles don't require heat, so verify the selected cycle. For gas dryers, ensure the gas supply is on. Clean the lint filter and exhaust duct. The dryer might be in the cool-down phase. Turn off the Eco Dry option for NORMAL or TIME DRY cycles. Note that the air dry process does not use heated air, which is normal.
What to do if my Samsung Dryer does not dry clothes?
If your Samsung dryer isn't drying clothes, check that the exhaust hood outside your home opens and closes freely. Inspect the exhaust system for lint buildup, and consider having the ducting inspected and cleaned annually. Use a 4” rigid metal exhaust duct. Avoid overloading the dryer; one wash load should equal one dryer load. Separate heavy and lightweight items. For large items like blankets, reposition them for even drying. Ensure your washer is draining properly. If the load is too small, add a few towels; if it's too large, remove some items. Also, clean the lint filter.
