Samsung dryer smells like gas

Don't do anything more. Call the repair shop immediately. You could potentially blow up your whole house.

when motors go bad the smell is godly awlful is yours like that? if so have the motor replaced

Sounds like a motor problem.

The thermocouple may be going bad. The thermocouple is what "tells" the control unit that there is a flame. If it doesn't send it's signal, the control thinks the flame went out and shuts off the gas to prevent an explosion.

my dryer timer is not turning off and it does not get hot,I check glow coil.its working but it does not fire up.I smell gas some time

start the dryer,go outside where it vents if you smell gas outside and only smell it inside when the dryer is running you have a bad gas valve on the dryer and most likely the valve will fail and you won't have any heat.the valve can get noisy too it will chatter when trying to let gas in if you remove the four screws that hold the door on and opposite the door screws but don't remove the door just remove the front panel you can start the dryer to see what's going on in there,i mean you have an igniter and gas coils but i've never seen a coil or igniter do this they either work or they don't so if you smell gas outside where it vents i'd go with the gas valve is bad.usually if you have bad gas coils the coils will work until they heat up and then no flame,when they cool down they will work again but i never smelled gas and the igniter will work or it doesn't not like an oven igniter they can glow but not ignite the flame and you might get a wiff of gas,i think you have a bad valve,you can get a shop vac and vac out around the burner tube and then blow it out with vac and clean out the inside of cabinet so you don't have a fire this should be done at least once a year,unplug it before you clean it out,blow out all around the gas valve sometimes a spider can make a web in there and block the orifice,write back and let me know what you find thanks and good luck.part number is WP306176 on some models you might have to get a pair of tin snips and open up the metal cover that the valve slides into they made the nut bigger for some reason and it doesn't fit through the metal cover unless you cut the cover to make hole bigger lol gotta love it.

first is first ,,, disconnect dryer from plug,, now open bottom panel 2 screws ,, now go and get youre vaccum,shop vac, anything ,, reason for burning smell ,, usually catching on fire ,, we recommend do this 1 as year,,, after cleaning , put about 2-3 fabric sheets inside dryer and let it runn for about 30 minutes to remive smoke from drum,,, thank you

the heater has most likley shorted to yhe frame and needs to be replaced

Hello plz make sure the gas burner does not have any lint build up on burner assembly inside the machine / plz clean.That usually causes a burnt smell. If there is no error codes on the display and the machines is operating fine you are chasing a ghost. If there is a pump or motor over load an error code should come up on the display.

Check coils on burner assembly. Often when a dryer heats initially and then stops heating a coils has gone bad.
