How to restart/reset/reboot your Samsung tumble dryer?

You may find your Samsung laundry dryer needs resetting if it starts to malfunction or isn’t responding to any input via your control panel. Resetting your tumble dryer re-starts the internal computer and can often restore the unit to normal working order. The exact instructions will vary depending on your model of Samsung tumble dryer.

Typically, this procedure will be:

1. Unplug it (or turn off power at the circuit breaker)
2. Wait some time for the electrical charge to clear out of the dryer (usually 1 to 5 minutes at most)
3. Power it up again.

Samsung Maintenance

Did you know that cleaning your dryer and vent can help keep your drying times shorter and your clothes in good shape? Daily use can fill your appliance with dust and lint over time, which can affect your dryer’s performance. Our guide can help you understand what needs to be cleaned, plus how and when to do it.

Cleaning the inside of your dryer means tackling lint and residue on the lint trap and screen, vents and drum.

It is important to regularly clean the lint filter of your Samsung Dryer to ensure smooth operation. You may notice the lint filter alert reminding you to do so, or your dryer may display an NC/NC1 code. In either case, please check and clean the lint filter of your dryer. Follow the guide below to see how you can locate and clean the lint filter on your applicable model.

1. Open the door and pull the lint filter upward to remove it.
2. Open the outer filter and remove the inner filter
3. Unfold both the inner filter and outer filter
4. Remove the lint from both filters, and then clean the filters with a cleaning brush. To clean the filters thoroughly, clean the filters in running water and then dry them completely. Do NOT dry the filter under direct sunlight – this can damage the filter. Make sure the dry the filter in the shade completely before reassembling.
5. Put the inner filter into the outer filter, and then reinsert the lint filter into the original position.

It is important to clean and maintain your Samsung dryer to ensure optimal operation, preventing any build-up or bacteria that can affect your cycles. Although the drum of your dryer does not need to clean as frequently, leaving wet or damp clothes inside can cause mould or odour to build in the dryer.

Some dryers will come with a Self Tub Dry cycle that you can run to keep both the drum and heat exchanger fresh. However, if you do not have this option, it is perfectly okay to manually clean the drum too.

1. Press the Power button to turn on the dryer.
2. Turn the Navigation dial and select Self Tub Dry.
3. Tap and hold the Start/Pause button to start the cycle.

To clean the drum manually, use a damp cloth with a mild, non-abrasive cleaner suitable for stainless steel. Then, wipe away the remaining residue with a clean, dry cloth.
