What Makes Samsung Dryer Repairs Different
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
What Samsung Says to Check First
- Cycle ends with clothes still damp. Clean the moisture sensors, pick a higher dry level and make sure the load is at least about four bath towels. Source: Samsung US - Clothes are not dry after using Samsung dryer
- Dryer not heating. Run Time Dry briefly to confirm there is no heat, then check the 240V outlet or gas supply, cycle the breaker, and run the vent blockage test. Source: Samsung US - Clothes are not dry after using Samsung dryer
