How Samsung Dryers Are Built
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
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
- Noisy dryer. Identify whether the sound is rattling, thumping, squealing or humming, and for rattling start by leveling the feet. Source: Samsung US - Samsung dryer is too noisy
