Electric models need a 240V outlet on a circuit with two halves, and one half can trip on its own so the dryer runs but gives no heat. Source: Samsung US - Samsung dryer loses power or won't turn on
The Eco Dry setting lowers heat to save energy and can switch on automatically for Normal or Time Dry cycles, which lengthens dry times and can be mistaken for a heating fault. Source: Samsung US - Clothes are not dry after using Samsung dryer
Samsung Dryer Symptoms and First Checks
