NOTE

  • The Samsung Smart Home app is designed for Android 4.0 (ICS) or higher, or iOS 8.0 or higher, and is optimized for Samsung smartphones (Galaxy S and Galaxy Note series).
  • On other devices, some functions may operate differently.
  • For improved performance, the Samsung Smart Home app is subject to change without notice.

Registering a Samsung account

To use the Samsung Smart Home app you must first sign in to your Samsung account. If you don’t have a Samsung account select Register in the app, and then follow the onscreen instructions to create an account.

NOTE

  • If you have a registered Samsung account, log into your Samsung account. If you have a Samsung smartphone, you can go to the Settings menu on your smartphone, select Accounts, and then sign in to your Samsung account. This will allow you to log in without additional authentication.
  • For third-party smart phones, the app account must be the same as the Easy Setup account.

Getting started

With Samsung Smart Home, you can remotely control your dryer from your smart device. For improved performance, the content and design of the app is subject to change without notice.

  1. Launch the Samsung Smart Home App on your smartphone.
  2. If ‘Dryer’ is not listed, tap Add Device > Select other device > Dryer on the app screen.

Maintenance

Vent sensor

The dryer features a vent sensor that detects and notifies you when it is time to clean the ductwork. The indicator lets you know the status of the duct.

If the dryer is in the Level 2 state, the indicator blinks for 3 hours after the completion of the current cycle. If you press POWER or open the door, the dryer powers off immediately.

NOTE

  • For duct installation, see “Exhaust ducting guide”.
  • The dryer may keep running even if the duct is clogged, but the drying time will be extended.
  • If the indicator turns on for the first time and is solid (not blinking), check and clean the lint filter and/or duct.
  • If the indicator turns on again later, it is because the duct is installed or connected with some restrictions (it’s too long or has too many bends). This is not a system failure. However, drying time may be extended or the drying performance may be degraded.

Cleaning

Feature panel

  • Clean with a soft, damp cloth. Do not use abrasive substances.
  • Do not spray liquid cleaning agents directly on the display of the dryer.
  • Some laundry pre-treatment soil and stain removers may damage the feature panel.
  • When using liquid cleaning agents, apply them to the cleaning cloth. Do not apply them directly to the dryer. Wipe up any spills or overspray immediately.

Tumbler

  • Remove any stains from the tumbler with an all-purpose cleaner.

Tumble old towels or rags to remove any remaining stains or cleaning substances. Stains may still be visible, but will not affect subsequent loads.

Stainless steel tumbler

To clean the stainless steel tumbler, use a damp cloth with a mild, non-abrasive cleaner suitable for easily marred surfaces. Remove cleaner residue and dry with a clean cloth.

Dryer exterior

  • Clean with a soft, damp cloth. Do not use abrasive substances.
  • Protect the surface from sharp objects.
  • Do not place any heavy or sharp objects or a detergent container on the dryer. They can scratch or damage the top cover of the dryer.
  • The dryer has a high-gloss finish on the entire surface. Be careful not to scratch or damage the surface.

Exhaust system

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

Problem

Action

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 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.

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 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.
