SOURCE: Samsung Electric Dryer

I have had the same problem with mine, they (being the repairman) came out and have replaced the sensor and the board and it still does this, they said that there is nothing else that they can do. Don't know what I am going to do from here

SOURCE: samsung dryer is not drying and its new

It ended up being a easy fix. Our old dryer was working fine and had been ran an hour before I hooked up the new Samsung dryer. Therefore I assumed when the new dryer did not work there had to be something wrong with it. There ended up being nothing wrong with it and it was my dryer vent. It was barley plugged which caused it to not heat up properly. I was told that the new dryers have a lot more sensors on them and its very sensitive about needing a clean vent to vent out the heat. My vent was not very dirty, but it had just enough build up of lent in it, it caused the dryer to not vent properly and it would keep shutting the flame off. Blew it out with my leaf blower and now it heats up and dry quick. I hope this helps

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: 2 yr old samsung dryer does not dry clothes totally

Remove the vent completely and clean it out 100 percent. Elbows (corner bends) will hold more than you think causing the dryer to keep the heat off. The sensors for the newer style dryers detect plugged up vents and shut down the heating modes. If cleaned and still no heat the spark ignitor has gone bad

Samsung DV5451AEW electric dryer will not heat up when on any of the "automatic" modes. The dryer dries perfectly when set to a time dry, so it's heating up, but it will not dry when set to normal, heavy...

I would recommend calling a technician. Could be as you said a bad sensor. Make sure the sensor bars are clean. Use an alcohol pad or cloth and clean them.

My Samsung DV5451AEW/XAA will not dry cloths. The vent tube is not plugged and air flow is great through the whole vent system. How do I get to the heating element?

  • I am assuming this is electric. Yes?
  • Do you get any heat when there is no clothes in it?
  • Have you checked your voltage at the receptacle? If not 220V, if you have the old tube fuses, then one may be blown. If you are getting good heat with no clothes then replace your high limit thermostat. Lots to check before heading for the heating element. As for heating element they are usually either in the back of the tub or a tube on the right hand side of the dryer. You need to take the front panel off.

I have a problem with my samsung dryer. The model number is DV330AEB XAA I have trouble drying sheets. The sheet will always twist up and not dry. I must take it out after 10 min and untwist it then...

THE PROBLEM IS WHEN YOU DRY THE SHEETS WITH OTHER CLOTHING THE SHEETS DON'T HAVE ENOUGH ROOM TO DRY SO THEY TWIST,SO I THINK IS BEST TO DRY THE SHEETS ALONG...

Samsung dryer DV448AEP/XAA - lint buildup

Yes this is rellatively normal as clothes are just not made the same way any more. You could turn down the drying temperature slightly and put in an anti static drying sheet but it won't make that much difference.
