I have a Samsung electric dryer model # : DV331AER/XAA 01 .
The issue we are having is the dryer has the hourglass icon and check lint filter icon illuminated.
When we check the lint filter that light goes off but the hourglass symbol remains; when we press the play button the dryer does nothing. The control panel arrow lights blink as if the are going through a drying cycle but the dryer never actually spins the drum. Any suggestions?
Darren,
The belt on the Samsung Dryer drum may have slipped off…. Check that first.
The hourglass is telling you it is in a delayed mode.
How long has the hourglass been in the display?
-RR
I have a Samsung DV42H5000EW A3 Dryer.
It has power to display but won’t run and dry.
No error code, but do have an hourglass symbol on display.
Any advice?
Tim,
Samsung HE or hE Error Code = Heating error (electric dryer)
See if a house circuit breaker for the dryer is tripped; the dryer won’t heat if a leg of the 240 volt power supply is off. Unplug the dryer and check the wiring connections on the heating element.
Reconnect any loose wires and replace the wire harness if damaged.
Check the heating element for damage and replace the heating element if defective.
Samsung HE or hE Error Code = Heating error (gas dryer)
Make sure the gas supply cut-off valve for the dryer is fully open.
Unplug the dryer and reconnect any loose wiring connections on the gas valve coils.
Replace the wire harness if damaged.

I have a Samsung DV42.
The dryer will run and will dry but neither the timed programs or the moisture sensing programs will stop it automatically.
If we don’t set a timer to open the door to manually stop it, the dryer eventually will error out and result in the “He” code.
Any thoughts on a fix? Thanks in advance.
The reset worked great.
Just need to hold the two buttons down while you power off and power on. DE code comes up .release buttons and power off and on again.
Problem solved.
Many thanks
My Samsung multi steam vent sensor is giving “HC” message. Any idea what is that? The dryer stops within few seconds of running and gives an HC message on the panel.
Hello Tobie, what did you do to resolve this issue? having same problem with our brand new dryer and it is not even used once.
Samsung dryer DV419AGWX/AA. Error Code does not show, but dryer will turn on, little red tee-shirt will blink showing it is drying, but machine does not start and run. I have no error code to show me what may be wrong. The Error Codes work, because it comes on when the door is opened and when wrinkle free symbol comes on, or run time can also be changed. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Dryer working but not switching off with a symbol of something like an infinity ring
