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
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
What Samsung Says to Check First
- 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
- 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
