NOTE: Smart Care is optimized for Samsung Galaxy and Apple iPhones. (Not compatible with some models).

Download the Samsung Smart Care app from the Google Play Store or Apple App store (Search term: “Samsung Smart Washer/Dryer”), and install it on your smartphone.

If an information code appears on the dryer, follow these steps:

Press and hold Wrinkle Prevent for 3 seconds to activate Smart Care. The Smart Care indicator turns on.
Open the Smart Care app on your smartphone.
Put the smartphone’s camera close to the display of the dryer. The app automatically recognizes the information code, and displays suggestions on your smartphone.
If the smartphone fails to recognize the information code more than twice, type the information code manually into the Smart Care app.

CAUTION

If light is reflected on the display of the dryer, the smartphone may not recognize the information code.
If you hold the smartphone at an angle to the dryer’s display, the smartphone may not recognize the information code. For best results, hold the smartphone so that the front of the panel and the smartphone are parallel or nearly parallel.
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: The control board and inlet valve are intentionally not grounded and may present a risk of electric shock only during servicing.

Service personnel - Do not contact these parts while the dryer is energized.

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.

Powder coat tumbler

To clean the powder coat 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.
Items still wrinkled after Wrinkle Prevent (Wrinkle Away, 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 Cycle starts.	This is steam condensation. The dripping water will stop after a short time.
Sprayed water is not visible during Steam Cycles.	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.

Information codes

If the dryer fails to operate, you may see an information code on the display panel. To determine what you should do, check the list of codes in the table below, and then try the suggested actions.

dC	Operating the dryer with the door open. Make sure the door is properly closed. Make sure laundry is not caught in the door.
