  • After you use this function, the dryer will delete the record of the information code from its code log.

Maintenance

Keep the dryer clean to prevent decreased performance and to lengthen its life.

WARNING: Certain internal parts are intentionally not grounded and may present a risk of electric shock only during servicing.

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 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.
  • 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.

    See other models: QA65Q800TAWXXY SM-R820NZKUUDC HW-Q70R/ZC LC24F390FHEXXY SM-A600FZKIBTU
    Remove promptly.
  • 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.
  • 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 RELEASE.

  • Small loads of 1 to 4 items work best.
  • Load fewer items. Load similar-type items.

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.

If a problem persists, contact a local Samsung service center.

Samsung DV22K6800EW/AC 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.

#3 How to Run an Eco Drum Clean cycle?
Eco Drum Clean is an eco-friendly cleaning cycle
designed to remove detergent residue and build up. The

sooner if your washing machine indicates that it is
required. Follow the steps below to start an Eco Drum
Clean cycle.
1.Press the Power button to switch your washing
machine on.
