Samsung dryer will not turn off or stop spinning

Samsung dryers are generally very quiet. Many of the sounds are normal or can be fixed with little effort. Nearly every sound the dryer makes will fall into one of four main categories: rattling, thumping, squealing or grinding, or humming. Pick the closest sound to the one you're hearing so you can do the correct troubleshooting steps for your iss

Unfortunately, if your dryer isn't spinning, it usually means that service is required. There's one quick test to perform to make sure that the cycle is being started correctly. And of course make sure it's not something as simple as Child Lock.

Dryer odors can come from a few places such as the lint trap, exhaust vent, or not actually from the dryer at all, like the washing machine or the water. If the dryer's new, that might be the reason as well. When a new dryer starts up for the first time, it may smell like something is burning, as any oil residue from the packing material heats up.

As long as you have the dryer installed on a nice, solid level surface, and you haven't overloaded it, then the main step to take is leveling it. This will secure the dryer and have it operate the way it should.

When your dryer doesn't power on, or the panel doesn't light up, or the dryer loses power and turns off without warning, it could be something as simple as a tripped breaker or loose power cord. You'll want to check these things to make sure your dryer has power. Another quick way to check is to open the door and see if the drum light comes on.
