6 Reasons a Samsung Dryer Takes Longer to Dry

Have you ever started a cycle in your Samsung dryer, only to find that it takes much longer than usual for the clothes to dry? If so, you’re probably wondering what could be causing the problem. Fortunately, there are usually several simple causes for a slow-drying dryer. In this blog post, we’ll discuss 6 common reasons why your Samsung dryer may take too long to dry. 

1) The Lint Filter Is Clogged:

One of the most common causes of slow drying is a clogged lint filter. When the lint filter is full of lint and debris, airflow through the filter becomes restricted, which can lead to poor drying performance. Cleaning or replacing your lint filter regularly can help improve drying time. 

2) Exhaust Vent Is Blocked or Clogged:

Your Samsung dryer needs access to outside air in order to function properly. If the exhaust vent is blocked or clogged with debris or lint, this can affect airflow and cause your dryer to take longer to dry clothes. Make sure that your exhaust vent is clear and unobstructed at all times. 

3) Thermostat Needs To Be Adjusted:

Another potential cause of slow drying is an inaccurate thermostat setting on your Samsung dryer. If the thermostat on your dryer is set too low, it may not generate enough heat to properly dry clothes in a timely manner. Try adjusting the thermostat and seeing if this resolves the issue. 

4) The Drum Belt Is Broken or Worn Out:

The drum belt helps rotate the drum inside your Samsung dryer so that clothes can be dried evenly and efficiently. If this belt becomes worn out or breaks, it can cause problems with drying time as well as other issues like loud noises when running a cycle. Replacing a broken or worn out drum belt should resolve these problems quickly and easily. 

5) Heating Element Is Faulty:

A faulty heating element can also cause slow drying times in your Samsung dryer because it will not generate enough heat necessary for proper drying performance. Test the heating element with an ohm meter and replace it if necessary to resolve this issue quickly and easily.                                          

6) Drum Roller Assembly Needs To Be Replaced:

The drum roller assembly helps rotate the drum inside your Samsung dryer so that clothes can be dried evenly and efficiently. A worn out roller assembly can cause slow drying times as well as other issues like loud noises when running a cycle, so replacing it should resolve these problems quickly and easily.
