Before you start Here are a few things you should know before starting your dryer. Sort and load • • • • Put one wash load in the dryer at a time. Do not mix heavy and lightweight items together. To improve drying efficiency for one or two items, add a dry towel to the load. For best results, untangle items before inserting them into the dryer. • • • • Overloading reduces the tumbling action, resulting in uneven drying and wrinkling.

Maintenance Keep the dryer clean to prevent decreased performance and to lengthen its life. WARNING Certain internal parts are intentionally not grounded and may present a risk of electric shock only during servicing. Service Personnel - Do not contact the following parts while the appliance is energized: Control board and inlet valve. Cleaning Feature panel • • • • Tumbler • • Remove any stains from the tumbler with an all-purpose cleaner.
Troubleshooting Checkpoints If the dryer operates abnormally, first check the list of problems in the table below and try the suggested actions. Problem Action • • Does not run. • • • • • Does not heat. • • • • • Troubleshooting Does not dry. • • • • • • • • Make sure the door is latched shut. Make sure the power cord is plugged into a live electrical outlet. Check your home’s circuit breakers or fuses. Press or tap Start/Pause again if the door is opened during a cycle. Clean the lint filter.
Problem Action • Is noisy. • • • Dries unevenly. • • • Has odors. • • Household odors from paint, varnish, strong cleaners, etc. may enter the dryer with the surrounding room air. This is normal as the dryer draws the air from the room, heats it, pulls it through the tumbler, and exhausts it outside. When these odors linger in the air, completely ventilate the room before using the dryer. If odors persist, wash and dry the items again. • • • Make sure the lint filter is cleaned before every load.
Troubleshooting Problem Action • Extended time. Sensor Dry automatically senses the moisture in the load and shuts the dryer off when the selected dryness level is reached. The drying time can change according to the type and amount of laundry. See the cycle chart for reference. If a problem persists, contact a local Samsung service center. Troubleshooting 44 English DV6800K_DC68-03650A-08_EN.
