The first step when you notice your Samsung dryer isn’t heating is to check that the power supply is working as it should. If your power supply is patchy or insufficient, the dryer won’t be able to heat properly, meaning your clothes will stay damp. Here’s what to do:
Your Samsung dryer can be set to the wrong type of drying setting, which can mean it isn’t heating sufficiently to dry your laundry. If your dryer is set to the “delicate” or “air dry” setting, it will be producing very little heat, and won’t be able to dry heavier items like towels or denim.
Check the settings on the control panel to ensure the dryer is on the correct settings. Consult your user manual if you’re having issues adjusting the settings for your particular model.
Not all dryers have moisture sensors, but if your one does, it can affect the heating process if faulty. Moisture sensors work by sensing how much moisture remains in your laundry and adjusting the heat and air accordingly. If the moisture sensors are impaired, they may incorrectly sense that your clothes are dry and, therefore, stop heating prematurely.
To fix this:
The heating element heats the air that is circulated in your Samsung dryer. If the heating element is faulty, your dryer may still tumble and blow air, but your laundry will stay cold. To fix this issue:
If the thermal fuse is faulty, the heating element won’t be able to produce heat. The thermal fuse is located in the same area as the heating element, so if your tests show that the heating element is functional, make sure you check the thermal fuse also. Here’s what to do:
