  1. I have a 2017 Samsung dryer it has a HC code, I replace the heating element with a complete assembly still shows code . I replaced the PCB and the code still shows . Any idea why the code is still showing the only thing I haven’t replaced is the board for the controls. If I replace it I have replaced Ever Electronic Part on the dryer . Do I need to reset it somehow after putting these parts on

  2. Im getting an upside down F and a 1 the dryer will not heat. We replaced the heater element and sensors all three of them it worked for about a week and we are back to the same problem what can it be?

  3. What does the timer icon mean on my Samsung moisture sensor dryer mean it’s on and I can’t turn it off and now it’s not heating

  4. Hi..

    The red grid lights in my Samsung dryer purchased in 2017 is flashing.  When I start a cycle, the actual time-counter works..however, the drum does not rotate and the dryer does not dry/heat. I have cleaned the vents, cleaned the filter.. and still the same problem is there!

    The model @ is DV50KB600E

    Can you please help?

  5. My samsung dryer model DVE50M7450W heat no longer works..i checked for codes and it shows Clg..vent clogged..i took out lint filter cleaned bottom out.took of vent ducts cleaned them completely out..made sure duct wasnt resticted anywhere and still no heat.and still same Clg code.its onky 5 months old

  6. My dryer is not heating, it runs when you first start it and has full time and then it runs for two minutes and then timer goes to one minute and then shuts off. I have a front loader Samsung model DV42h5200ep/A3

  7. Have model DV220. We had a power surge and now the dryer won’t heat. No error codes. It comes on, turns, etc but no heat.

  8. I had a heavy wet queen size blanket in the dryer before it stopped rotating. The timer continued. The only”code” is a picture of a tee shirt that is flashing with an arrow to another tee shirt that is not flashing and has two wiggle lines going to the middle like maybe it is drying. I checked the lint and turned off the breaker for a good hour. Why if anything do the shirts mean.

  9. I’m not seeing an error code. Cleaned vent hose and seems to have good airflow but won’t heat
