To reset your Samsung DV231A dryer, unplug the appliance from the power outlet, wait for about 1-2 minutes, and then plug it back in. This process can help reset the electronic controls.
If your Samsung dryer is not heating, check if the lint filter is clean, ensure that the venting is not clogged, and verify the settings. Additionally, inspect the heating element, thermostat, and thermal fuse for faults.
To clean the lint filter, open the dryer door, remove the filter by pulling it straight up, clean it by hand or with a soft brush, and then reinsert it before closing the door.
A squeaking noise may be due to a worn drum roller, idler pulley, or damaged belt. Inspect these components for wear and replace them as needed to resolve the issue.
To run a diagnostic test, turn off the dryer, then press and hold the "Mixed Load Bell" and "Smart Control" buttons. Turn the dryer on while holding these buttons until the display shows a code or test sequence.
Regularly clean the lint filter, inspect and clean the venting system, check the dryer drum for obstructions, and wipe down the exterior with a damp cloth. Schedule professional maintenance yearly.
To prevent wrinkles, promptly remove clothes after the cycle ends, use the "Wrinkle Prevent" option, and avoid overloading the dryer. Shake garments before placing them in the dryer.
For delicate fabrics, use the "Delicates" cycle which operates with lower heat and a gentler tumbling action to protect fragile items.
If the dryer takes longer to dry clothes, check for a blocked lint filter or vent, ensure the dryer is not overloaded, and verify that the correct cycle is selected.
Consult the user manual for specific error codes, which can indicate issues such as sensor malfunctions, overheating, or power problems. Follow recommended troubleshooting steps or contact support.
