Samsung front loading dryer the display shows rotating circle rather than time remaining

The estimated time remaining display on your GE Electric Dryer model # GFDS140EDWW is designed to show the remaining drying time in decimal format. The reason for this is that the dryer's algorithm calculates the remaining time based on a number of different factors, such as the load size, type of fabric, and level of dryness selected.
Unfortunately, there is no way to change this setting on the dryer. It is simply the way the display is designed to operate. However, you can use the manual to help you convert the decimal number to minutes. For example, if the display shows 4.1, you can convert this to 41 minutes by multiplying 4.1 by 10.
If you are still having trouble with the display or any other aspect of your dryer's operation, you may want to refer to the user manual or contact GE's customer service for further assistance.

You say it rotates L & R...do you mean it agitates but the timer isn't advancing?

More than likely the temperature sensor has gone bad. If the unit is under warranty I would contact the dealer...otherwise you need to replace the sensor.

Hi,

There can be many reasons why your dryer will not start or turn...

See if you can get into the diagnostic mode. If not, you will need to replace the "user interface" on the machine. Here is a link to the part if you should need it.
ACTIVATING THE DIAGNOSTIC TEST MODE 1. Make sure that the dryer is in the "Standby" mode (plugged in and all of the indicators are off). 2. Press the following control panel keypad sequence all within 5 seconds: More Time-Less Time-More Time- Less Time. 3. All indicators on the console should now be illuminated with "88" showing in the "Estimated Time Remaining" display, if this test mode has been entered successfully.

i have same problem

The timer shows approximate time remaining. The time displayed is continually adjusted due to factors such as how long it takes to fill, pump out, spin, etc.
Dryers are even more irratic due to load size, dampness levels, and cool down periods. This should be a Fix-Ya for your washer. It is working as designed.

hi there try pressing and holding the start button for about eight seconds

This is happening when you selected the wrinkle prevent option or you set it to wrinkle release cycle.what it does is it is tumbling with no heat to release the wrinkle in the clothing. This is normal.It could also be normal part of drying in "regular" cycle
