How Samsung Dryers Are Built
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
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 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
- Dryer won't turn on. With the breaker off, inspect the plug, cord and outlet for damage or burn marks, then reset the breaker and call an electrician if it keeps tripping. Source: Samsung US - Samsung dryer loses power or won't turn on
