What Makes Samsung Dryer Repairs Different
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
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
