  1. My new Samsung dryer DVE50R5400V /3A runs for 15 secs then FC error what could be the problem…. At the same time my power is single phase 240v but the dryer comes with the American L2 N L1 … How I go about that?

  2. Hello
    My dyer model dv448agp/xaa has the error message “filter check”. I’d cleaned the filter and changed the exhaust hose but still the message is there. What should I try next?
    Thank you

  3. Hi, were you able to resolve the problem? I’m having the same one. My thermal fuse keeps blowing. I have replaced the heating element (broken wire) and thermal fuse (2x)

    The dryer will dry continuously when not hooked up to the duct (4 or 5 days) but blows thermal fuse on second attempt.

  4. Have y’all found out what is causing this red flashing rectangle? I have the same issue.
    Would appreciate any feed back.

    Thanks!!

  5. Model DV395GTPARA/A1
    Samsung Dryer

    Runs for about 3 seconds then stops and will not run again until power off. Then it will do the same thing. Lint filter fits securely and is clean. Once I compressed the two buttons simultaneously and got an error 68. After that there was no error code, just 0000.

    It is not exactly level but it has been working for months in the position it is in now.

    Any ideas? Thanks

  6. I have a Samsung smart care dryer and error code DE comes up. Door closes all the way and I just replaced the door switch but the error code DE still comes up.

  7. Donna Smallwood

    Hello, The red grid light started coming on, on my dryer today. Dried a blanket and now it won’t come on

  8. Hi – did you ever find out what this red icon means? My dryer is doing the same thing now and won’t turn over.
