Common Questions
20 totalWhat should I do if my dryer displays a heater temperature control problem code?
If your dryer displays a heater temperature control problem code, you should call for service at 1-800-726-7864 (1-800-SAMSUNG). This code indicates an issue that cannot be resolved by the user and requires a qualified technician. For any codes not listed in the manual, Samsung customer service should also be contacted at the same number. (Page E-2)
How often should I clean the lint filter?
You should clean the lint filter after each load. Cleaning it regularly shortens drying time and helps the dryer operate more energy efficiently. The manual also warns that you should never operate your dryer without the lint filter in place. (Page B-6)
What are the electrical requirements for installing this dryer?
The dryer requires a 120/240 volt, 60 Hz AC approved electrical service fused through a 30-ampere fuse or circuit breaker on both sides of the line. The power cord should be plugged into a 30-ampere receptacle, and the use of an extension cord is not permitted. The dryer must also be properly grounded in accordance with local codes. (Page A-5)
What should I do if I detect a gas smell near my dryer?
Immediately clear the room or area and evacuate all occupants. Do not operate electrical switches, light matches, or attempt to ignite pilot lights. Contact your utility company from a neighbor's phone using their landline.
How do I safely clean foam rubber items in the dryer?
Do not use heat settings on the dryer when drying foam rubber, plastic, or rubber items. Instead, use only the Air Fluff cycle to minimize fire hazards (page B-6).
How often should I clean my dryer's exhaust system?
The interior of the exhaust system and ductwork should be inspected and cleaned annually as clogged or crushed venting can seriously restrict airflow, increasing drying times and creating fire hazards (page A-3).

SAMSUNG Dryer Owner’s Manual A-1 Tools needed for installation Proper installation is the owner’s responsibility.
However, Service Calls Performed As A Result Of Poor Set-Up, Adjustment, And
Connection Are The Responsibility Of The Installer.
Make sure you have everything necessary for proper installation.A-2 SAMSUNG Dryer Owner’s Instructions
Ducting Requirements
• Use a 4-inch (10.2 cm) diameter rigid aluminum or rigid galvanized steel duct. • Do not use a smaller duct. • Ducts larger than 4 inches (10.2 cm) in diameter can result in increased lint accumulation. Lint accumulation should be cleaned regularly. • If a flexible metal duct must be used, use the type with a stiff sheet metal wall. Do not use a flexible duct with a thin foil wall. Serious blockage can result if the flexible metal duct is bent too sharply. • Never install any type of flexible duct in walls, ceilings, or other concealed spaces. • Keep exhaust duct as straight and short as possible. • Secure joints with duct tape. Do not use screws. • DO NOT EXHAUST DRYER INTO ANY WALL, CEILING, CRAWL SPACE, OR CONCEALED SPACE OF ABuilding, Gas Vent, Or Any Other Common Duct Or Chimney.
This Could Create A Fire Hazard From Lint Expelled By The Dryer.
• Plastic flexible duct can kink, sag, be punctured, reduce airflow, extend drying times, and affect dryer operation. • Exhaust systems longer than recommended can extend drying times, affect machine operation, and may collect lint. • The exhaust duct should end with an exhaust hood with a swing-out damper to prevent back drafts and entry of wildlife. Never use an exhaust hood with a magnetic damper. • The hood should have at least 12 inches (30.5 cm) of clearance between the bottom of the hood and the ground or other obstruction. The hood opening should point down. • Never install a screen over the exhaust outlet. • To avoid lint buildup, do not exhaust the dryer directly into a window well. Do not exhaust under a house or porch. • If exhaust ductwork must run through an unheated area, the duct should be insulated and slope slightly down towards the exhaust hood to reduce condensation and lint buildup. • Inspect and clean the interior of the exhaust system at least once a year. Unplug the power cord before cleaning. • Check frequently to be sure the exhaust hood damper opens and closes freely. • Check once per month, and clean at least one time per year. Note: If clothes are not getting dry, then check ducting for obstructions.Electric And Gas Dryer

The static pressure in any exhaust system must not exceed 0.83 inches of water column, or be less than 0. This can be measured with the dryer running with a manometer at the point where the exhaust duct connects to the dryer. A no-heat setting should be used. The dryer tumbler should be empty and the lint filter clean.
Important To Installer
Please read the following instructions carefully before installing the dryer. These instructions should be kept for future reference.Remove The Door From All Discarded Appliances To Avoid The Danger Of A
Child Suffocating.
Location Considerations
The dryer should be located where there is enough space in front for loading the dryer, and enough space behind for the exhaust system. This dryer is factory-ready for rear exhaust. To exhaust out the bottom or the left, use the accessory exhaust kit. Instructions are included with the kit. It’s important to make sure the room has enough fresh air. The dryer must be located where there is no air-flow obstruction. THE DRYER MUST NOT BE INSTALLED OR STORED IN AN AREA WHERE IT WILL BE EXPOSED TO WATER AND/OR WEATHER. THE DRYER AREA IS TO BE KEPT CLEAR OF COMBUSTIBLE MATERIALS, GASOLINE, AND OTHER FLAMMABLE VAPORS AND LIQUIDS. A DRYER PRODUCES COMBUSTIBLE LINT. THE AREAAround The Dryer Should Be Kept Lint-Free.
Alcove Or Closet Installation
WARNING – The dryer must be exhausted to the outside to reduce the risk of fire when installed in an alcove or closet. • No other fuel-burning appliance should be installed in the same closet as the dryer. • WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire, this dryer MUST BE EXHAUSTED TO THE OUTDOORS. See EXHAUST INFORMATION section. • Minimum clearances between the dryer and adjacent walls or other surfaces are: 2” in front, 17” on top, 1” on either side, and 2.375” in the back. • Closet front must have two unobstructed air openings for a combined minimum total area of 72 in² with 3” minimum clearance on the top and bottom. A louvered door with equivalent space clearance is acceptable. Installation InstructionsA-4 SAMSUNG Dryer Owner’s Instructions
Mobile Home Installation
The installation of the dryer in mobile homes must conform to CSA Standards Z240 (for Canada). When installing a dryer in a mobile home, provisions for anchoring the dryer to the floor must be made. Locate in an area that has adequate fresh air. A minimum of 72 in² (183 cm² ) of unobstructed space is required. Call 1-800-SAMSUNG for information on purchasing the Floor Anchoring Kit as an accessory. All mobile home installations must be exhausted to the outside with the exhaust duct termination securely fastened to the mobile home structure, using materials that will not support combustion. The exhaust duct may not terminate underneath the mobile home. See Exhausting section for more information.Exhausting
Exhausting the dryer to the outside will prevent large amounts of lint and moisture from being blown into the room. • All dryers must be exhausted to the outside. WARNING – The dryer must be exhausted to the outside to reduce the risk of fire when installed in an alcove or closet.Never Use Plastic Or Non-Metal Flexible Duct.
If your existing ductwork is plastic, non-metal, or combustible, replace it with metal. Use only metal exhaust duct that is non-flammable to ensure containment of exhaust air, heat, and lint.Electrical Requirements

Operating Instructions, TipsSAMSUNG Dryer Owner’s Instructions B-6
Clean The Lint Filter
• After each load. • To shorten drying time. • To operate more energy efficiently. NOTE: Do not operate your dryer without the lint filter in place.Load The Dryer Properly
• Place only one washload in your dryer at a time. • Mixed loads of heavy and lightweight fabrics will dry differently, which may result in lightweight fabrics being dry while heavy fabrics remaining damp at the end of a drying cycle. • Add one or more similar items to your dryer when only one or two articles need drying. This improves the tumbling action and drying efficiency. • Overloading restricts tumbling action, resulting in uneven drying as well as excessive wrinkling of some fabrics.Getting Started
Notes:
• When the cycle is complete, the Door Lock light will go out and “End” will appear in the display. • Pressing Power cancels the cycle and stops your dryer. • The Drying, Cooling, and Wrinkle Prevent indicator lights will illuminate during those portions of the cycle. Operating Instructions, TipsC-1 SAMSUNG Dryer Owner’s Instructions Care and Cleaning Control Panel Clean with a soft, damp cloth. Do not use abrasive substances.
