Samsung dryer loses power or won't turn on
When your dryer won't turn on, or if it loses power suddenly, the most common causes relate to how the power is being supplied to the dryer. Here are the things to check for.
There is no light in my Samsung dryer
Most Samsung dryers have a drum light that turns on for a limited amount of time when you first open the door. If you have a new dryer and the light isn't coming on, it's possible that your model doesn't have a light. If your dryer is older and the light has suddenly stopped working, the light bulb may need to be replaced.
