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
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 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
