Unpacking your dryer
Unpack your dryer and inspect it for shipping damage. Make sure you have received all of the items shown below. If your dryer was damaged during shipping, or you do not have all of the items, contact 1-800-SAMSUNG (726-7864).
To prevent personal injury or strain, wear protective gloves whenever lifting or carrying the dryer.
WARNING: Packing materials can be dangerous to children. Keep all packing material (plastic bags, polystyrene, etc.) well out of children’s reach.
CAUTION: Do not move the product while holding the front part of the top cover of the dryer. This may cause the cover to be separated and result in injury.
Basic requirments
Make sure you have everything necessary for proper installation
- A GROUNDED ELECTRICAL OUTLET is required. See Electrical Requirements.
- A POWER CORD for electric dryers (except in Canada).
- GAS LINES (if installing a gas dryer). The gas lines must meet national and local codes.
- EXHAUST SYSTEM - must be rigid metal or flexible stiff-walled metal exhaust ducting.
Ducting requirements
- Use a 4-inch (10.2 cm) diameter rigid aluminum or rigid galvanized steel duct.
- Do not use a smaller duct.
- Ducts larger than 4 inches (10.2 cm) in diameter can cause increased lint accumulation.
- Lint accumulation should be cleaned regularly.
- If a flexible metal duct must be used, use the type with a stiff sheet metal wall. Do not use a flexible duct with a thin foil wall. Serious blockage can result if the flexible metal duct is bent too sharply.
- Never install any type of flexible duct in walls, ceilings, or other concealed spaces.
- Keep the exhaust duct as straight and short as possible.
- Secure joints with duct tape. Do not use screws.
- Plastic flexible duct can kink, sag, be punctured, reduce airflow, extend drying times, and affect dryer operation.
- Exhaust systems longer than recommended can extend drying times, affect machine operation, and may collect lint.
- The exhaust duct should end with an exhaust hood with a swing-out damper to prevent back drafts and the entry of wildlife. Never use an exhaust hood with a magnetic damper.
- The hood should have at least 12 inches (30.5 cm) of clearance between the bottom of the hood and the ground or other obstruction. The hood opening should point down.
- Never install a screen over the exhaust outlet.
- To avoid lint buildup, do not exhaust the dryer directly into a window well. Do not exhaust under a house or porch.
- If exhaust ductwork must run through an unheated area, the duct should be insulated and slope slightly down towards the exhaust hood to reduce condensation and lint buildup.
- Inspect and clean the interior of the exhaust system at least once a year. Unplug the power cord before cleaning.
- Check frequently to be sure the exhaust hood damper opens and closes freely.
- Check once per month, and clean at least one time per year. Note: If clothes are not getting dry, then check ducting for obstructions.
- Do not exhaust dryer into any wall, ceiling, crawl space, or concealed space of a building, gas vent, or any other common duct or chimney. This could create a fire hazard from lint expelled by the dryer.
- Do not use non-metallic flexible duct.
If the new dryer is being installed into an existing exhaust system, you must make sure:
- The exhaust system meets all local, state, and national codes.
- That a flexible plastic duct is not used.
- To Inspect and clean all lint buildup from inside the existing duct.
- The duct is not kinked or crushed.
- The exhaust hood damper opens and closes freely.
The static pressure in any exhaust system must not exceed 0.83 inches of water column, or be less than 0.
This can be measured with the dryer running with a manometer at the point where the exhaust duct connects to the dryer. A no-heat setting should be used. The dryer tumbler should be empty and the lint filter clean.
Important to installer
Please read the following instructions carefully before installing the dryer. These instructions should be kept for future reference.
WARNING: Remove the door from all discarded appliances to avoid the danger of a child suffocating.
Location considerations
Locate the dryer where there is enough space at the front for loading the dryer, and enough space behind for the exhaust system. This dryer is factory-ready for rear exhaust. To exhaust out the bottom or the right or the left (electric model only), use the accessory exhaust kit (sold separately). Instructions are included with the kit. It’s important to make sure the room has enough fresh air. The dryer must be located where there is no air-flow obstruction.
On gas dryers, adequate clearance as noted on the data plate must be maintained to ensure adequate air for combustion and proper dryer operation.
Do not install or store the dryer in an area where it will be exposed to water and/or weather. Keep the dryer area clear of combustible materials, casoline, and other flammable vapors and liquids. A dryer produces combustible lint. The area around the dryer should be kept lint free.
Alcove or closet installation
WARNING: You must exhaust the dryer to the outside to reduce the risk of fire when you install the dryer in alcove or closet.
- No other fuel-burning appliance should be installed in the same closet as the dryer.
- WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire, you must exhaust the dryer to the outdoors. See Exhaust information section.
- Minimum clearances between the dryer and adjacent walls or other surfaces are: 2” in front, 17” on top, 1” on either side, and 5” in the back.
- The closet front must have two unobstructed air openings for a combined minimum total area of 72 in2 with 3” minimum clearance on the top and bottom. A louvered door with equivalent space clearance is acceptable.
Exhausting
The dryer shall not be exhausted into a chimney, a wall, a ceiling, an attic, a crawl space, or a concealed space of a building.
Exhausting the dryer to the outside will prevent large amount of lint and moisture from being blown into the room.
In the United States:
- All dryers must be exhausted to the outside.
- The required exhaust duct is 4 inches (10.2 cm) in diameter.
- Use only those foil-type flexible ducts, if any, specifically identified for use with the appliance by the manufacturer and that comply with the Outline for Clothes Dryer Transition Duct, Subject 2158A shall be used.
- See “Ducting Requirements” in installing your dryer section for the maximum duct length and number of bends shall be used.
- The total length of flexible metal duct shall not exceed 2.4 m.
- Do not assemble the duct with screws or other fastening means that extend into the duct and catch lint.
In Canada:
- All dryer must be exhausted to the outside.
- The exhaust duct should be 4 inches(10.2 cm ) in diameter.
- Use only those foil-type flexible ducts, if any, specifically indentified for use with the appliance by the manufacturer shall be used.
- See “Ducting Requirements” in installing your dryer section for the maximum duct length and number of bends.
- The total length of flexible metal duct shall not exceed 2.4 m.
- Do not assemble the duct with screws or other fastening means that extend into the duct and catch lint
Outside the U.S. and Canada:
- Refer to the local codes.
WARNING: You must exhaust the dryer to the outside to reduce the risk of fire when you install the dryer in an alcove or closet. NEVER USE A PLASTIC OR NON-METAL FLEXIBLE DUCT. If your existing ductwork is plastic, non-metal, or combustible, replace it with metal. Use only a metal exhaust duct that is non-flammable to ensure containment of exhaust air, heat, and lint.
Gas requirements
Use only natural or LP (liquid propane) gases.
THE INSTALLATION MUST CONFORM WITH LOCAL CODES, OR IN THE ABSENCE OF LOCAL CODES, WITH THE NATIONAL FUEL GAS CODE ANSI/Z223.1, LATEST REVISION (FOR THE UNITED STATES), OR WITH THE CAN/CGA-B149 INSTALLATION CODES (FOR CANADA).
Gas dryers are equipped with a burner vent for use with natural gas. If you plan to use your dryer with LP liquid propane) gas, it must be converted for safe and proper performance by a qualified service technician. A 1/2” (1.27 cm) gas supply line is recommended and must be reduced to connect to the 3/8” (1 cm) gas line on your dryer. The National Fuel Gas Code requires that an accessible, approved manual gas shut-off valve be installed within 6” of your dryer.
Gas dryers installed in residential garages must be raised 18 inches (46 cm) above the floor.
DO NOT reuse old flexible metal gas lines. Flexible gas lines must be design certified by the American Gas Association (CGA in Canada).
NOTE:
- Any pipe joint compound used must be resistant to the action of any liquefied petroleum gas.
- As a courtesy, most local gas utilities will inspect a gas appliance installation.
GAS IGNITION – Your dryer uses an automatic ignition system to ignite the burner. There is no constant burning pilot.
Commonwealth of Massachusetts installation instructions
Your dryer must be installed by a licensed plumber or gas fitter. A “T” handle manual gas valve must be installed in the gas supply line to your dryer. If a flexible gas connector is used to install your dryer, the connector can be no longer than 3’ (36”).
WARNING:
- Gas leaks may occur in your system, creating a dangerous situation.
- Gas leaks may not be detected by smell alone.
- Gas suppliers recommend you purchase and install a UL-approved gas detector.
- Install and use in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions.
Electrical requirements
NOTE: The Wiring diagram is located on the plate below the control panel or frame back.
WARNING:
- Improperly connecting the equipment grounding conductor can result in a risk of electric shock. Check with a qualified electrician or serviceman if you are in doubt as to whether your dryer is properly grounded. Do not modify the plug provided with your dryer – if it doesn’t fit the outlet, have a proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician.
- To prevent unnecessary risk of fire, electrical shock, or personal injury, all wiring and grounding must be done in accordance with local codes, or in the absence of local codes, with the National
- Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA No. 70-Latest Revision (for the U.S.) or the Canadian Electrical Code CSA C22.1 – Latest Revisions and local codes and ordinances. It is your responsibility to provide adequate electrical services for your dryer.
- All gas installations must be done in accordance with the national Fuel Code ANSI/Z2231 – Latest Revision (for the U.S.) or CAN/CGA – B149 Installation Codes – Latest Revision (for Canada) and local codes and ordinances.
Grounding
This dryer must be grounded. In the event of malfunction or breakdown, the ground will reduce the risk of electrical shock by providing a path of least resistance for the electrical current.
WARNING: Gas models
WARNING: Electric models
Electrical connections
Before operating or testing, follow all grounding instructions in the Grounding section. An individual branch (or separate) circuit serving only your dryer is recommended. DO NOT USE AN EXTENSION CORD.
Gas models – U.S. and Canada
A 120 volt, 60 Hz AC approved electrical service, with a 15-ampere fuse or circuit breaker is required.
Electric models – U.S. Only
Most U.S. dryers require a 120 / 240 volt, 60 Hz AC approved electrical service. Some require volt, 60 Hz approved electrical service. The electric service requirements can be found on the data label located behind the door. A 30-ampere fuse or circuit breaker on both sides of the line is required.
- If a power cord is used, the cord should be plugged into a 30-ampere receptacle.
- The power cord is NOT provided with U.S. electric model dryers.
WARNING: Risk of Electric Shock
When local codes allow, the dryer electrical supply may be connected by means of a new power supply cord kit, marked for use with a dryer, that is U.L. listed and rated at a minimum of120/240 volts, 30-ampere with three No. 10 copper wire conductors terminated with closed loop terminals, open-end spade lugs with turned up ends, or with tinned leads.
- Do not reuse a power supply cord from an old dryer. The power cord electric supply wiring must be supported at the dryer cabinet by a suitable UL-listed strain relief.
- Grounding through the neutral conductor is prohibited for (1) new branch-circuit installations, mobile homes, (3) recreational vehicles, and (4) areas where local codes prohibit grounding through the neutral conductor. (Use a 4-prong plug for a 4 wire receptacle, NEMA type 14-30R.)
Electric models – Canada Only
- A 120 / 240 volt, 60 Hz AC approved electrical service fused through a 30-ampere fuse or circuit breaker on both sides of the line is required.
- All Canadian models are shipped with the power cord attached. The power cord should be plugged into a 30-ampere receptacle.
NOTE: It is not permissible to convert a dryer in Canada to 208 volts.
Installation - General procedure
For proper installation, we recommend that you hire a qualified installer.
Read these instructions completely before you begin the installation.
To install the dryer, follow these steps:
1. Move your dryer to an appropriate location for installation. Consider installing the dryer and washer side- by-side so you have easy access to both appliances.
NOTE: To move the dryer easily, lay two of the carton cushion-tops on the floor. Tip your dryer on its side so it lies across both cushion-tops. Push the dryer so that it is near its final location. Set your dryer upright. Leave enough room around the dryer so you can attach the duct work, power cord, etc.
2. If you need to change the direction of the door, go to Door Reversal on page 19. When done, return to Step 3 below.
3. Review the Exhausting section before installing the exhaust system. Install the duct work from your dryer to the exhaust hood. The crimped end of the duct sections must point away from your dryer. DO NOT use sheet metal screws when assembling ducting. These joints should be taped. Never use plastic flexible exhaust material.
NOTE: A tip for tight installations: Attach a section of the exhaust system to your dryer before putting it in place. Use duct tape to secure this section to your dryer, but do not cover the ventilation slots at the back of the dryer cabinet.
4. If you have an electric model, skip to Step 6. If you have a gas model, go to the next step.
5. Review the Gas Requirements section, then follow the lettered steps below.
6. Review the Electrical Requirements section, then follow the 3 Wire system connection instructions (Step or 4 Wire system instructions (Step 8) below.
7. Three Wire system instructions:
- Loosen or remove the center terminal block screw.
- Connect the neutral wire (white or center wire) of the power cord to the center, silver-colored terminal screw of the terminal block. Tighten screw.
- Connect the other wires to outer terminal block screws. Tighten screws.
- Tighten the strain relief screws.
- Insert the tab of the terminal block cover into your Dryer’s rear panel slot. Secure the cover with a hold-down screw.
WARNING: If converting from a 4-wire electrical system to a 3-wire, you must connect the ground strap to the terminal block support to ground the dryer frame to the neutral conductor.
We recommend using Ring terminals. If you use Strap terminals, please ensure you install them perfectly.
8. Four Wire System instructions:
- Remove the External ground connector screw.
- Connect the ground wire (green or unwrapped) of the power cord to the external ground connector screw. If you want to connect B (Green or bare copper wire of power cord) to the Neutral Post without connecting it to A (cabinet ground), call a service technician.
- Loosen or remove the center terminal block screw.
- Connect the neutral wire (white or center wire) of the power cord and the appliance ground wire (white or green/yellow stripes) under the central screw of the terminal block.
- Connect the other wires to the outer terminal block screws. Tighten screws.
- Tighten the strain relief screws.
- Insert the tab of the terminal block cover into your Dryer’s rear panel slot. Secure the cover with a hold-down screw.
We recommend using Ring terminals. If you use Strap terminals, please ensure you install them perfectly.
U.S. MODELS:
WARNING: Risk Of Electric Shock
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” (1cm) deep well socket.
9. To ensure that the dryer provides optimal drying performance, it must be level. To level the dryer, follow the lettered steps below:
If you have a dryer and washer
NOTE: To set the dryer to the same height as the washer, fully retract the leveling feet by turning them counterclockwise, then loosen the feet by turning them clockwise. Once the dryer is the same height as the washer, follow the directions above to level the dryer.
NOTE: 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.
10. Make sure all gas connections (on gas models) and exhaust, and electrical connections are complete. Plug in your dryer, and then check its operation by using the checklist on the next page.
11. For GAS MODELS ONLY
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.
Final installation check list
- The dryer is plugged into an electrical outlet and grounded properly.
- The exhaust ductwork is hooked up 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.
- For gas models: The gas is turned on and there are no gas leaks.
- Start your dryer to confirm that it runs, heats, and shuts off.
Dryer Exhaust Tips
WRANING: Plastic or non-metal flexible duct presents a potential fire hazard.
1. Make sure your dryer is installed properly so it exhausts air easily.
3. Keep ducts as straight as possible.
Don’t let a poor exhaust system slow drying by:
- Restricting your dryer with a poor exhaust system.
- Using a plastic, thin foil, or non-metal flexible duct.
- Using unnecessarily long ducts that have many elbows.
- Using crushed or clogged venting or ducts.
Door Reversal
If you want to reverse the direction of the door, it is recommended calling a qualified service technician.
NOTE: Use a flat head screwdriver(-) to remove the cover-holder’s cover-hinge.
9. Remove the 14 screws.
NOTE: Two screw (L) are longer than the other screws.
NOTE: Refer to the illustrations on the right to aid you in the assembly process.
16. Install the door on the frame-front and then fasten the 4 screws that you removed in step 2.
NOTE: Check the positions of the screws you installed in the hinge door.

troubleshooting
Check these points if your dryer...
Doesn’t run.
- Make sure the door is latched shut.
- Be sure the power cord is plugged into a live electrical outlet.
- Check your home’s circuit breakers or fuses.
- Press the Start/Pause button again if the door is opened during the cycle.
Doesn’t heat.
- Check your home’s circuit breakers or fuses.
- Select a heat setting other than Air Fluff.
- On a gas dryer, check that the gas supply is on.
- Clean the lint filter and exhaust duct.
- Dryer may have moved into the cool-down phase of the cycle.
Doesn’t dry.
- Check all of the above, plus...
- Be sure the exhaust hood outside the 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.
- Sort heavy items from lightweight items.
- Large, bulky items like blankets or comforters may require repositioning to ensure even drying.
- Check that the washer is draining properly to extract adequate water from the load.
- Load may be too small to tumble properly. Add a few towels.
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.
- Be sure the dryer is leveled properly as outlined in the installation instruction.
- It is normal for the dryer to hum due to the high velocity of air moving through the dryer drum and 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. Select the Very Dry setting if desired.
- If one heavy item is dried with a lightweight 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. Sort heavy items from lightweight items for best drying results.
Has an odor.
- 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, ventilate the room completely before using the dryer.
Shuts off before load is dry
- The dryer load is too small. Add more items or a few towels and restart the cycle.
- The dryer load is too large. Remove some items and restart the dryer.
Lint on clothes
- Make sure the lint filter is cleaned before every load. With some loads that produce high amounts of lint, it may be necessary to clean the filter during the cycle.
- Some fabrics are lint producers (for example, a fuzzy white cotton towel) and they should 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 washing and drying clothes.
Garments still wrinkled after Wrinkle Release
- Small loads of 1 to 4 items work best.
- Load fewer garments. Load similar-type garments.
Odors remain in clothing after Air Fluff.
- Fabrics containing strong odors should be washed in a normal cycle.
