Cleaning the Heat Exchanger on a Samsung Dryer
Please Note: The information on this page is for Australian products only. Models, sequences, error codes or settings will vary depending on location and/or where the product had been purchased. To be redirected to your local support page please click here.
When you have finished running a cycle in your Samsung Dryer and find that the load hasn't dried properly, even after cleaning the lint filter and vent lines, and also ensuring you have only put in a small load, it could mean that the heat exchanger needs to be cleaned.
It is recommended to clean the heat exchanger at least once a month. Some dryers even have an indicator that lights up to let you know when it needs cleaning. Please note that the indicator alert will continue to light up after each cycle, as it is recommended for you clean the heat exchanger after every cycle. A dirty heat exchanger will hinder the product's performance and should be cleaned regularly.
After a drying cycle, open the dryer door and the heat exchanger cover to maintain the dryer interior more hygienically. The heat exchanger will be wet right after a cycle so it is important to wait a few hours to let it completely dry before cleaning.
Below are instructions on how to take out the heat exchanger and clean it.
Note: This page is applicable for Heat Pump Smart Dryers ONLY. This page is NOT applicable for Washer/Dryer Combos.
*This also may be located on the bottom right of your dryer.
CAUTION:
- To avoid physical injury and burns, do not touch or clean the heat exchanger with your bare hands.
- Do not use water to clean the heat exchanger.
- Do not bend or damage the heat exchanger fins when cleaning.
Note: If the heat exchanger is completely dry and therefore hard to clean, spray some water on the heat exchanger and clean using a brush.
There may be moisture and/or foreign substances around the inner corner.
Note:
- After cleaning the heat exchanger, tap the circle button to dismiss the notification message. The message remains on until you dismiss it.
- If the alarm continues after you have dismissed it, unplug and then plug in the power cord or remove and reinsert the heat exchanger's inner cover.
