6. Insert the tab of the terminal block cover into the rear slot of the dryer. Secure the cover with a hold-down screw.

WARNING:

  • All U.S. models are designed for a 3-wire system connection. The dryer frame is grounded to the neutral conductor at the terminal block. A 4-wire system connection is required for new or remodeled construction, mobile homes, or if local codes do not permit grounding through neutral. If you use the 4-wire system, you cannot ground the dryer frame to the neutral conductor at the terminal block.
  • Remove the terminal block cover plate. Insert the power cord with a UL-listed strain relief through the hole provided in the cabinet near the terminal block.
  • A strain relief must be used. Do not loosen the nuts already installed on the terminal block. Be sure they are tight. Use a 3/8” (1 cm) deep well socket.

STEP 4 Connect the water hose

The dryer must be connected to a cold water tap using the provided water hoses.

1. Close the cold water tap. If you have a washer’s cold water hose attached to the cold water tap, unscrew and remove the hose. Then, connect the female end of the Y-connector to the cold water tap.
2. Connect the straight end of the water hose to the Y-connector.
3. Using pliers, tighten the coupling an additional two-thirds turn. Do not overtighten because the coupling may be damaged.

4. Connect the angled end of the water hose to the filling valve at the bottom of the rear frame. Turn the coupling manually until it is tight.
5. Using pliers, tighten the coupling an additional two-thirds turn. Do not overtighten because the coupling may be damaged.
6. If you detached the cold water hose from your washer, attach the hose to the open end of the Y-connector, tighten the coupling by hand until it is tight, and then, using a pliers, tighten an additional two-thirds turn.
7. Open the cold water tap, and then check for any leaks.

If the Y-connector cannot be directly connected to the cold water tap, use the short hose. See the “Using the short hose as an extension” section on page 26.

Using the short hose as an extension

  8. Open the cold water tap, and then check for any leaks.

STEP 5 Level the dryer

To ensure optimal performance, the dryer must be level.

Using a level (A), check if the dryer is level side to side and then front to back. If the dryer is not level, turn the leveling feet (B) clockwise to lower the dryer or counterclockwise to raise the dryer.

NOTE

  • To set the dryer to the same height as your washer, fully retract (A) the leveling feet by turning them counterclockwise, then loosen (B) the feet by turning them clockwise. Once the dryer is the same height as the washer, follow the directions above to level the dryer.
  • Adjust the leveling feet only as much as necessary to level the dryer. Extending the leveling feet more than necessary can cause the dryer to vibrate.

STEP 6 Power on (for gas models)

Make sure all gas connections, the exhaust line, and all wiring is connected correctly. Then, plug the power cord into a power source and check the dryer’s installation and operation using the final checklist in Step 7 below.

STEP 7 Final check

When installation is complete, confirm that:

  • The dryer is plugged into an electrical outlet and grounded properly.
  • The exhaust ductwork is connected, and the joints are taped.
  • You have used rigid or stiff-walled flexible metal duct material, not plastic flexible duct.
  • The dryer is level and is sitting firmly on the floor.
  • The dryer starts, runs, heats, and shuts off properly.

For gas models:

  • The gas is supplied properly with no leaks (For gas models only).

CAUTION: The burner may not ignite initially due to air in the gas line. Allowing your dryer to operate on a heat setting will purge the line. If the gas does not ignite within 5 minutes, turn your dryer off and wait 5 minutes. Be sure the gas supply to your dryer has been turned on. To confirm gas ignition, check the exhaust for heat.

Vent blockage test

After the dryer is installed, start the Vent Blockage Test to check if the duct system is properly installed. The Vent Blockage Test automatically detects the status of the ducts and reports any blockage or problems. Proper ducting can reduce drying time and save energy.

NOTE: The Vent Blockage Test must run when the dryer is cool. If the dryer warms up after the installation check, run the AIR FLUFF cycle for several minutes to reduce its internal temperature.

Running the vent blockage test

  1. Make sure the drum is empty, and then close the door. (If there are any clothes or other items in the drum, the test will not give accurate results.)
  2. Press the Power button to turn the dryer on, then simultaneously press and hold the Adjust Time and Dryness buttons for 3 seconds. “InS or In” appears in the dryer’s display. (If you have started other procedures before the Vent Blockage Test, the dryer will not enter the Vent Blockage Test mode.)
  3. Press the Start/Pause (Hold to Start) button. The Vent Blockage Test starts immediately. During the test, the number indicator makes a circle in 6 clockwise steps. The test takes about 2 minutes. Do not open the door during the test.
  4. After 2 minutes, when the test is complete, the results are displayed and the dryer sounds a tone. If status of the duct system is normal, “End or 0” appears and the dryer sounds a completion tone. If the duct system can not exhaust properly, “CLg or Cg” appears and the dryer sounds an alarm tone. If there are any other problems, an information code appears in the display. For information about the code, see the "Information codes” section on page 53.
- To stop or cancel the Vent Blockage Test, press the Power button to turn off your dryer.
- During the test, if “dc” appears in the display, make sure the door is closed. If “C1” is displayed, see if there is laundry inside drum. If there is, stop the test and remove it. Then, start the test again.
- The results remain on the display for about 5 minutes and then automatically turn off. You can turn the results off immediately by pressing the Power button.

NOTE:

  • During or after the test, the internal drum is hot. Use caution to prevent burns. The Vent Blockage Test is used to check for problems in the current duct system when the dryer is installed for the first time.
  • If the test result displays “CLg or Cg” (the duct system is blocked), refer to the “Ducting requirements” section on page 14 and the “Exhaust ducting guide” section below, and then take proper measures to correct any problems. If the test is suspended, it could result in incorrect results. Follow the proper procedures when testing the dryer.
  • Even if the test result is normal (“End or 0”), the duct system could be blocked slightly. Properly install all duct work according to the installation instructions in this manual.

Exhaust ducting guide

Ducting

  1. Make sure the dryer is installed properly so the air exhausts freely.
  2. Use 4-inch rigid metal ducts. Tape all joints including the dryer connection. Never use lint-trapping screws.
  3. To facilitate the exhaust, keep the ducts as straight as possible.

Cleaning

Clean all old ducts before installing the dryer, and make sure the vent flap opens and closes freely. We recommend that you to clean the exhaust system annually or on a regular basis.

WARNING:

  • To prevent fire, do not use plastic, thin-foil, or non-metal flexible ducts of any kind.
  • Do not use a poor exhaust system because it slows down the dryer’s performance.
  • Do not use excessively long ducts that have multiple elbows.
  • Do not use crushed or clogged venting or ducts.

Exhaust system

  • Check and clean the exhaust system on a regular basis to maintain optimum performance.
  • The external exhaust hood must be cleaned frequently to ensure proper air flow.

Troubleshooting

Checkpoints

If the dryer operates abnormally, first check the list of problems in the table below and try the suggested actions.

Does not run.

  • Make sure the door is latched shut.
  • Make sure the power cord is plugged into a live electrical outlet.
  • Check your home’s circuit breakers or fuses.
  • Press or tap Start/Pause (Hold to Start) again if the door is opened during a cycle.
  • Clean the lint filter.

Does not heat.

  • Check your home’s circuit breakers or fuses.
  • Some cycles do not require heating. Check the selected cycle again.
  • For a gas dryer, make sure the gas supply is on.
  • Clean the lint filter and exhaust duct.
  • The dryer may have moved into the cool-down phase of the cycle.
  • Turn off the Eco Dry option for the NORMAL or TIME DRY cycles. When the Eco Dry option is on, the dryer performs an air dry process in the beginning of the cycle to reduce energy consumption. The air dry process does not use heated air, so you may feel that the dryer is not being heated, but this is normal.

Does not dry.

  • Check all of the above, plus...
  • Make sure the exhaust hood outside your home can open and close freely.
  • Check the exhaust system for lint buildup. Ducting should be inspected and cleaned annually.
  • Use a 4” rigid metal exhaust duct.
  • Do not overload. 1 wash load = 1 dryer load.
  • Dry heavy items and light weight items separately.
  • Large, bulky items, such as blankets or comforters, may require repositioning to ensure even drying.
  • Make sure that your washer is draining properly and extracting adequate water from the load.
  • The load may be too small to tumble properly. Add a few towels and restart the dryer.
  • The load may be too large to tumble properly. Remove some items and restart the dryer.
  • Clean the lint filter.

Is noisy.

  • Check the load for objects such as coins, loose buttons, nails, etc. Remove promptly.
  • It is normal to hear the dryer gas valve or heating element cycle on and off during the drying cycle.
  • Make sure the dryer is leveled properly as outlined in the installation instructions.
  • It is normal for the dryer to hum due to the high velocity of air moving through the dryer drum, fan, or exhaust system.

Dries unevenly.

  • Seams, pockets, and other similarly heavy areas may not be completely dry when the rest of the load has reached the selected dryness level. This is normal. You can choose a higher dryness level or a cycle that involves a higher dryness level.
  • If one heavy item is dried with a light weight load, such as one towel with sheets, it is possible that the heavy item will not be completely dry when the rest of the load has reached the selected dryness level.
  • For the best drying results, dry heavy items and light weight items separately.

Has odors.

  • Household odors from paint, varnish, strong cleaners, etc. may enter the dryer with the surrounding room air. This is normal as the dryer draws the air from the room, heats it, pulls it through the tumbler, and exhausts it outside.
  • When these odors linger in the air, completely ventilate the room before using the dryer.
  • Use a cycle featuring the Refresh function. If odors persist, wash and dry the item again.
  • Use the REFRESH cycle. If odors persist, wash and dry the items again.

Lint on clothes.

  • Make sure the lint filter is cleaned before every load. For clothes that naturally build up lint, clean the filter during the cycle.
  • Some fabrics are lint producers (for example, a fuzzy white cotton towel) and they must be dried separately from clothes that are lint trappers (for example, a pair of black linen pants).
  • Divide larger loads into smaller loads for drying.
  • Check pockets thoroughly before drying, then dry clothes.
  • Remove lint inside the drum before drying.

Items still wrinkled after WRINKLE PREVENT (WRINKLE- CARE, WRINKLE RELEASE).

  • Small loads of 1 to 4 items work best.
  • Load fewer items. Load similar-type items.
  • Take out the items immediately after drying is complete.

Water drips from the nozzle when STEAM CARE starts.

  • This is steam condensation. The dripping water will stop after a short time.

Sprayed water is not visible during STEAM CARE.

  • Sprayed water is difficult to see when the door is closed.

Extended time.

  • Sensor Dry automatically senses the moisture in the load and shuts the dryer off when the selected dryness level is reached. The drying time can change according to the type and amount of laundry. See the cycle chart for reference.

Samsung DVE54R7600C/A3 Questions and Answers


#1 Why is the door latch loose on my washing machine?
Don't worry if the door latch on your washing machine
seems loose, this is normal. The door latch is designed
to move so that the locking mechanism in the washer
can grab onto the latch.If the latch were rigid, the lock
mechanism would not be able to grab the latch properly,
causing check code dC/DC.
Don't book a repair or service for a loose latch unless
you are experiencing another issue or check code.

#2 How to resolve a 5E or 5C error code on a washing
machine
A 5E or 5C error code indicates that the washing
machine has detected a drainage issue. The most
common reason for this error is a blocked filter or a
kinked drain hose. You should also check that the drain
hose has been installed properly and clean the hose
thoroughly to remove any blockages that may be
preventing your washing machine from draining
properly.
