What a Samsung Dryer Technician Deals With

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
- Dryer won't start or tumble. Look for an error code or blinking lights first, then make sure Child Lock is off and try a Time Dry test. Source: Samsung US - Samsung dryer turns on but will not start or spin
