Samsung DV337 Electric Dryer Logo
Posted on Aug 09, 2011

My Samsung DV337 Dryer also runs for a short amount of time and then stops. I'm getting a code that looks like an upside down F, followed by an o. I can't find this code in any service manual I've looked in. The dryer does have heat, although it seems to be extremely hot. I believe it is shutting down due to the excessive heat. I've checked the vent duct and it's clear.

I just encountered the identical situation, after putting a multimeter to all the sensors it turned out that the thermistor was bad. I replaced the thermistor part # DC32-00007A and it eliminated the problem. You will have to remove the top and front of the unit to reach it. It's the sensor on the right in the picture.My Samsung DV337 Dryer also runs for a short - 8_20_2012_10_24_55_pm.jpg

SOURCE: DRYER RACK DOES NOT DRY CLOTHES

try timed dry cycle instead of the auto-sensing setting. In your drum if you have auto dry such as less dry normal dry and more dry, There is a sensor sometimes in the drum and sometimes in the exhaust right after the blower. If in the drum then your clothes brush by this and if moisture is sensed then it keeps on drying. With your rack the clothes can't touch the sensor so it tells your dial to turn and that items are dry which in fact are not. Try this and see how it does.

SOURCE: 3-way vent, 4-way vent on Samsung electric steam

I couldn't find any information for a 3 way or 4 way vent on your system. You will need to call Samsung for customer support. Here is the link for customer service for Samsung.

SOURCE: Not Heating

there could be a problem with one of the thermal fuses located in the cabinet under the drum and along the side of the heating element can. the first one to check is the one furthest back on the can.
you can check them all for continuity and replace the one that is bad also check the heating element last.

The dryer will run for a couple of minutes and then it alarms, stops, and gives me an error code. The code looks like an upside-down F and a zero.

The error code is tO. You have a thermistor problem and needs a technician to help you determine which one has failed.

Dryer will not shut off in any 'auto' mode. Time display ticks down, then jumps up again and keeps running. Dryer does works properly when 'timed dry' is selected. Checked and cleaned exhaust vent. ...

How long is the vent from the dryer to the outside? Dryer vents that are longer than 8 feet with more than (2) 90 degree turns--can affect drying performance.
Setting the DRY LEVEL selector to *Very Dry* will solve most dry-ability issues. In homes with abnormally long vents--even the longer run time in the *Very Dry* setting is usually not sufficient to dry laundry loads.
Reducing the length of the vent or starting a second cycle becomes necessary to fully dry the clothing.
If a second cycle was started---only the amount of time that is needed to dry laundry will be used before dropping to 6 minutes and then the cycle will end with dry laundry.
