How Samsung Dryers Are Built
Sensor Dry cycles rely on two curved metal moisture-sensor bars inside the front of the drum near the lint filter housing, and fabric softener sheet residue on them can make cycles end with damp clothes. Source: Samsung US - Clothes are not dry after using Samsung dryer
The Bespoke AI Laundry Combo uses a ventless heat pump to dry inside the same drum used for washing, so there is no exhaust duct to service. Source: Samsung Newsroom US - Samsung expands Bespoke AI laundry line
