Possible Causes

Clogged condenser or lint filter, Blocked air ducts, Failed dry heater, Faulty dry NTC sensor misreading temperature

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Unplug the unit and allow it to cool before accessing dryer components.

Steps to improve drying:

  • Clean lint filters: Remove and clean any accessible lint filters or screens according to the user manual.
  • Clean condenser: If your Samsung combo has a condenser, remove it and rinse under running water to clear lint and dust. Allow it to dry before reinstalling.
  • Inspect air paths: Remove panels as needed to vacuum lint from the blower housing and air ducts.
  • Reduce load size: Do not overload the drum when using the dryer function; smaller loads dry more efficiently.

When to stop: If drying remains poor after thorough cleaning, the dry heater or sensor may be faulty and should be tested and replaced by a technician.
