What Makes Samsung Dryer Repairs Different
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
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 takes too long to dry. Clean the lint filter, turn off Eco Dry, run the vent blockage test and confirm the vent meets the manual's length and material requirements. Source: Samsung US - Clothes are not dry after using Samsung dryer
