I love your videos Ben, you've helped me to learn alot in only a few days of being subscribed. My husband and I lost our jobs earlier this year and decided to start our own business flipping appliances from home. We've only been at it for a couple of months but the volumes of information I've learned in that short amount of time will stay with me my whole life. Thank you so much from NW Ohio
Thanks!! Nice informative video. I bought a new Samsung dryer and my vent hose and filter are all clean and new!! My dryer was working great and seemed to dry my clothes quickly but I notice when drying my comforter it doesn't seem to dry completely even though I have it on high heat / sensor dry setting. Is that because comforters are harder to dry completely? Would it be better for me to dry it on high heat using the timer on the dryer ? (40 or 60 minutes)
Also, don't forget that Samsung dryers can have those sensors in front of the lint trap. My dryer was shutting off after 2 minutes of running. Turns out a fabric softener sheet, was plastered against the inner edge and blocking the metal contacts from coming in contact with the wet clothes.
I have a Samsung Steam Smartcare Dryer and in normal mode it starts on 42 then 22 then 1 minute and shuts off. It will work in Heavy mode but not normal mode. Please help. I would appreciate whatever you suggest.
Just throwing my hat into the ring. My exhaust port on outside of the house had a flap door, and. aplastic lint grate - well, the grate's 2 rear plastic nubs were snapped off, so "seating" it in the rear portion was just guesswork. Well, my grate was too high (again, the rear nubs couldn't snap in due to being missing), and it blocked the flap door from opening. I was having to run the dryer 3-4 times to get a load dry. SOME air would escape the flap which is why it somewhat worked. We also had condensation on the metal exhaust hose, again due to lack of ventilation. Thx for this video - i went outside to check more than just the plastic grate - and discovered the flap door was blocked.
@@mahalnabayanko7454 water condenses on the pipe because the hot air has nowhere to go bc it’s clogged - therefore it results in condensing on the pipe and eventually drips to floor. Surely there is a beginning and end to pipe even if the middle is between walls. Gotta shove a long duster thing in there. I had a long 8’ duster meant to extend really long so you can dust ceilings and high places. Use that. Shove it in there and twist around
What if you did All that and it's still not drying correctly? We did everything and changed heating element not to long ago and after we cleaned the wall vent now I can only do a very small load in order for it to dry.
4th Thing...A defective Cycling Thermostat. A defective cycling thermostat will cause the heating element to turn off before it reaches 135 - 155 degrees. At room temperature (70 degrees), a dryer's heating element should stay on for at least 30 seconds before it cycles off. If the dryer's heating element turns on, then turns off in less then 20 seconds, replace the Cycling Thermostat.
Hi Ben great video Thank you , I just have a question after I put everything back together the dryer gave me a code error after running for 30 sec which wasn’t displayed before it looked like an FE or EE. Can you please help with that
you forgot to point out another great reason not drying: the drum seal is old and worn down and you can see light though it at the bottom of the drum in the very back, now this is a common problem i see a lot, it will let in cold air and temp will be very low. i think the hot air is also leaving the drum with lint and adding up into the cabinet area and there is you fire hazard Mr.Ben... it took me many years to figure how is so much lint getting to the cabinet??? it is loose fitting drum seals and what is worst is the presser air pushing out the lint between the weak seal of the drum into the cabinet because the plugged up venting that has a restriction in it from lint build up or worst to many 90 degree bens in it for each 90 degree ben it will lose i think 5 degrees of temperature i think that is right or something like that, to many 90 degrees bens is a killer and a long run ducting is a killer you will need a inline blower pusher fan. i have seen those in condominiums forcing exhaust air out long distances... just say`n
Question. When the tech came in to clean it (from the HVAC Co), he said the dryer vent cleaning tool couldn't work because of the angle of the vent (goes up to the roof!). He actually borrowed our leaf blower. However, things are still not drying. I'm not sure if the kit you mentioned is the same as the one he tried to use. Can you think of any other way I could try to clean it? Thanks,
We have a Samsung dryer bought new approximately 3-4yrs ago. Seems to only want to dry clothes on Sanatize cycle. And not on a normal dry cycle? Luckily bought extended warranty. Had service company come out. And said how they had to replace both heating elements.
Make sure you secure the sections of the dryer kit with tape or something that will prevent them from pulling apart. If you have a long run from the duct in the laundry room to the outside vent, trying to remove a section that came apart is going to be a problem for sure.
One thing to note which I couldn't include because I cant speak for any one brush set is to run it in the drill in the direction of the threads. If it was clockwise and you ran it the other way, it'd unscrew and cause an issue for sure
@@bensappliancesandjunk could you make a video about front loaders and how to clean on the internal side of the drum? We dry out gasket, and leave the door open, and place a small fan on it when we aren’t using the washer toile sure mold doesn’t grow on it. Is there a tool that is thin enough that you can push it into the area that is the backside of the drum?
@@lisacyr8636 I do plan on a video for that but honestly- I have to figure out a reliable way to do it first - we've tried a lot of different things that work sometimes but not always
Hey! Love your videos! What is the wire on the top of the dryer called? It’s white and blue and connects to the cover of the drum! Mine broke and I can’t find a part name anywhere! It has a circular part that inserts into the drum cover and connects to the door sensor. Thank you!
When my dryer vent was cleaned there was water on the vent hose and also outside the exhaust there was water. Is this normal? I been having problems woth my dryer not drying properly. The heat is inside the dryer and not going out of the exhaust. Do you think the problem is the dryer or the pipe? How did the water get there and out from the exhaust outside the house? Pls help
I have a 7 year old LG that comes on and heats up, but the drum isn’t rotating. I opened it up and cleaned it thoroughly and the belt is intact. There is a click when you press the start button that sounds like a relay to me… Any tips on what you would check first.
I have this dryer one day, brand new. Last load keeps shutting off and won't dry. This is frustrating. Since it's new I am calling the store they can either fix it or replace it. I hope I will not regret buying Samsung.
Please understand, if the vent system is clogged, kinked, or obstructed, the issue will be on your end and cost. I've seen many times where someone buys new and it doesn't dry because a problem that caused their old one to break, persists on the new one

Worse large appliance purchase I've ever made. What used to take 1 hour in my old Maytag now takes TWO. All of this 'Energy Star' stuff is complete BS. And no, I don't overload, and yes I clean my lint trap EVERY time.
@@bensappliancesandjunk from day one it didn’t dry. Then it sucked a pair of panties into the dryer. When the repair man was there he tried telling me how to turn off the energy saver and make it hotter. He seemed to know that brand or model wouldn’t dry thoroughly.
What if i cleaned all of this out, even blew a leaf blower through the bottom of the dryer “into” the dryer blowing all of the lint out. And it still doesn’t dry all the way?
The cleaning kit mentioned in the video! bit.ly/3zQGFYK
Best video ever! Just ordered the cleaning kit.
You just saved me $150- and the hassle of replacing my dryer. Thank you!
P.S. - I was a very bad man. I will be cleaning my dryer from now on : )

Awesome! I am so glad the videos are helping you learn a bit about flipping!
Ben: Thank you so much for the many informative videos you post. Your explanations are clear and concise.
Ben..you are generous in providing all that info. I have put into practice many of your appliance tips. 😎

Same here. It turns off automatically even if the clothes are still wer and the worst part is even though is off it's still spinning.
I hit subscribe as soon as he said a criminal amount of lint
Thank you, Ben. I really enjoy your vids. Cheers from Montreal!
Thanks for the video-- how'd you access the blower housing?
Thank you for making such good contact for us, I’m loving your post!

Was there alot of water?
@@mahalnabayanko7454 condensing onto the floor from the metal tubing? No. Few ounces on th floor.
What happens if there's water on the exhaust and the pipe is clog? Is there any solution ? No access to the pipe. Pipe is between walls.

My Samsung dryer won't heat and when I set it for 1 hour it stops about 5 mins in. Does this mean it is the heating element and the sensor? Thank you

It's a relay switch on the motor that the tention pulley rest on.,check the tention pulley assembly
Hey Ben, where can I buy this specific dryer model from Samsung even though it’s discontinued?
Ebay
So very helpful! Thanks!
Thank you!
Glad to help!
Hey Ben, what if the back of the dryer doesn’t have those screws to give access to the inside of the dryer to check the dryer vent?
You can still pull the vent tube out, but there's no real room to access anything. You can at least visually inspect to see if there's any issue
Don't forget to run the bush clockwise. Right?

Notice the dryer vent dumping right on the a/c condenser?
That's what she said
Thank you. I guess a person could just offer vent cleaning and make some decent money.

Do you clean the vent, and ensure that where it ends is fully clean? This should only take 45min to dry a typical load of clothes.
