PDF User Manual for Samsung Steam Moisture Sensor Dryer

Samsung Sensor Dry is a feature on Samsung Dryers that measures the humidity in the drum. Sensor Dry will automatically adjust drying time to the level of dryness you have select.

Why is my Samsung moisture sensor dryer not drying?

If your dryer is heating but the clothes are still damp, your vent is probably blocked. If your dryer has weak heat and runs for a long time, that could also be a blocked vent. And if your dryer ends after only a couple minutes with soaking wet clothes, your moisture sensors could be dirty.

How do you reset a Samsung steam moisture sensor on a dryer?

Resetting your dryer is easy. Unplug it (or turn off power at the circuit breaker), wait some time for the electrical charge to clear out of the dryer (usually 1 to 5 minutes at most), and then power it up again. That's it. That's all it takes to reset.

Clean Moisture Sensors

If there's buildup on the sensor, your dryer can run for too long or not long enough, resulting in damp or damaged clothes. Cleaning the moisture sensors is very straightforward. Every few months, wipe them down with a cotton ball or rag dipped in rubbing alcohol.

Where the Moisture Sensors

The moisture sensors are two bars inside the Samsung dryer that are usually found in the lint filter housing. Watch video.
