2. To change the door direction, see “Switching the door position”
3. Install the exhaust system as instructed in the “Exhaust ducting guide” section

NOTE

• To move the dryer easily, lay two of the carton cushions from the packaging on the floor. Tip the dryer on its side so it lies across both cushion-tops. Push the dryer so that it is near its final location, and then set the dryer upright.
• Secure room around the dryer to facilitate ducting and wiring.

STEP 2 Connect the electrical wiring

First, read through the “Electrical requirements” section, and then follow the instructions on this page or the next page. Instructions for a 3-wire system are on this page. Instructions for a 4-wire system are on the next page

For a 3-wire system

1. Loosen or remove the screws from the center terminal block.
2. Connect the neutral wire (white or center wire) of the power cable to the center, silver-colored terminal screw of the terminal block. Tighten the screws.
3. Connect the other wires to outer terminal block screws. Tighten the screws
4. Tighten the strain relief screws.
5. Insert the terminal block cover into the rear panel of the dryer. Then, secure the cover with a hold-down screw.

For a 4-wire system

1. Remove the external ground connector’s screw, and connect the ground wire (green or unwrapped) of the power cable to the screw.
2. Loosen or remove the screws from the center terminal block.
3. Connect the neutral wire (white or center wire) and ground wire (white) to the center, silver-colored terminal screw of the terminal block. Tighten the screw.
4. Connect the other wires to the outer terminal block screws. Tighten the screws.
5. Tighten the strain relief screws.
6. Insert the tab of the terminal block cover into the rear panel of the dryer. Then, secure the cover with a holddown screw.

STEP 3 Level the dryer

To ensure optimal performance, the dryer must be level.

STEP 4 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.

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.

Maintenance

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.

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.
• 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.

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.
