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
Many Samsung dryers have a built-in vent blockage test started from the control panel that reports a clog code (such as CLg or C80) when exhaust airflow is restricted. Source: Samsung US - Clothes are not dry after using Samsung dryer
What Samsung Says to Check First
