20 Most Recent Samsung DV337 Electric Dryer Questions & Answers

Go visit the local appliance repair store... a small Mom and Pop's store are usually great to help you.. explain what's happening and they should be able to sell you a sensor kit, I have replaced mine twice in 16 years... no biggie if you are semi electrical and mechanically inclined... (the kits I have to purchase come with an electrical dryer sensor and a gas dryer sensor)..make sure they show you which is which,,

Electric dryer no start does nothing Check dryer Terminal block prongs both outside prongs should give combined 220, and 110 each if u check 1 outside & 1 center (ground) prong. Also check house electrical outlet for full voltage. CHECK THERMAL SHUT OFF THERMOSTAT USUALLY LOCATED ON THE BLOWER. for OHMS or resistance with a meter. Should show a closed circuit. Ohms WHEN THIS FUSE BLOWS IT WILL SHUT DOWN EVERYTHING. NEXT Test the PUSH start switch with meter for OHMS. Should show OHMS when pushed in or on start, and no ohms or infinity when in off position. If you hear a humming/clicking sound from motor area you more than likely have a bad motor. Try this test out to see if u have weak windings or relay/capacitor on motor. Open the dryer door and turn by hand the drum while machine is on ON position. And you or someone else presses the door engagement switch in. If it starts up then u have bad windings Another thing to check is the belt safety switch. With a multi meter. Especially if u just replaced the belt. The belt safety switch is attached to the Tensioner and motor. IT LOOKS LIKE A DOOR SWITCH SOMEWHAT a little black pc of plastic with 2 prongs going into it. Sits at bottom of motor. Under the Tensioner. Attach meter clips to the 2 prongs on switch, Then when the little white push button is pressed in it should show continuity and none when released. Lastly check ur DOOR SWITCH for continuity with a meter when the button is pushed in the (on/Door closed position,) it may have gone bad. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sTRP6kHqAFs Hey GOD IS GOOD !!!!

Heat the shaft with an hair dryer

this could be a blower blocked or stuck.or that the motor start switch contacts aare stuck closed

possible Heater Relay failure Heater relay stuck open or closed; Wiring defective Check for short circuit across heater relay(s) (RL5, RL6, RL7) or L1 applied to heater relay output(s) (J5-2, J7-1, J7-3) with cycle stopped. Check for open circuit between L1 and heater relay connection(s) (J5-1, J5-3, J7-2). If no wiring problems are found, replace Electronic Control Board and retest.

That's because the door switch isn't getting pushed when you're closing the dryer door for some reason or another. Its located at the top of the door. Try pushing the switch by hand and seeing if the light shuts off when you manually push it.

control board defective? bad moister sensor not sensing dry clothes and going into dry cycle agin?

check for full power from the outlet a full 240 not 120, check the heating element, the hi-lo and cycling thermostat

The timer has gone out rplaceit and all should be fine

If it only happens when it turns on and it's a samsung dryer, there are a few problems you may have, depending if it's on a pedestal making noise or not, it could not be level causing an uneven position of the unit to make odd noises, or if it does it with or without clothes on it, it could be the idler pully misaligned or the motor not secure enough. If it happens only for a very very short period of time after you start the load, it isn't anything serious to worry about, however, you may end up having to replace the belt down the line. If it runs quiet, I honestly wouldn't worry about it. If its making a really really loud noise during the cycle continuously, you're having a bearing problem, but I think you're just experiencing a very small wear and tear noise and a lot of dryers can do this. Pinpointing it may just not be worth your time.

I bought this dryer from Lowe's May '08. No problems until today. Made a loud squeeking noise at first, now more of a ball bearing-grinding noise. Service man coming out tomorrow morning. Out of warranty, of course, paid $900.00 and not even 2 years old.

You have a bad thermistor. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WhYLcCC8zaI

yes

Sounds like the heating element might be bad. Make sure your settings are set correctly (which I'm sure you have already done). Check to make sure the power cord has been hooked up correctly on the back of the dryer (may want to get someone with an electrical background). Unplug first. Could be a thermostat problem as the elements on some models heat up when needed to maintain a certain temperature. Hope this helps. Good luck.
