Here's a link for the full information on Ignition System Failure, including testing.
HEATING ELEMENT FOR SAMSUNG DRYER SERIES
Since this is a more complex series of events we will just run over the basics here. Your Samsung gas dryer may be having a problem with igniting the gas flame. Ignition System and Gas Burner (Gas Models Only) If the thermal cutoff was blown, replace the Hi-Limit as well, and then check the control devices. If it's good, and the thermal cutoff didn't blow, move to the control devices. Check the Hi-Limit for continuity with a multimeter.The Hi-Limit is on the heater box on electric models, right next to the terminals for the heating element.The Hi-Limit is located on the burner cone on gas models.These can fail (they won't open) and that failure causes the Thermal Cutoff to operate. If it's bad, replace it along with the Hi-Limit thermostat. If it's good, go to the next item in this list.Check it for continuity with a multimeter. It is located toward the front of the dryer on the heater assembly.You should first check the thermal cutoff on your electric dryer.Since your dryer does spin, it is very unlikely that the thermal fuse (situated on the blower outlet on Samsung electric models) or, on gas models, the thermal cutoff (located on the blower housing) has blown, as that causes the motor to stop and not start again.The safety systems mentioned here often function because of problems with airflow, so now is a good time to check those, especially if your dryer or ducts were dirty. This will mean disassembling the supply line, and checking that its clear. If this happens on a first startup, check the gas supply pipe for obstructions.The gas valve or cock is turned on if the handle lines up with the pipe.Make sure the gas is connected and turned on.Make sure your gas bill is paid, especially if this is your only gas appliance.If the power checks ok, move on to the next steps. Then go to this page on checking the outlet feeding the dryer.Turn off the dryer circuit breaker completely and then turn it back on. The dryer will still spin, because the dryer still has 120V available from the un-tripped breaker, and this will run the motor and controls, but won't run the heating element.Since electric dryers operate on 240V, they use a 2-pole breaker, and sometimes one pole trips and the other doesn't.Make sure your circuit breaker for the dryer is not tripped.Sometimes it happens, so you want to check some of the easier items that can cause no heat.Įlectric dryer - Make sure it is getting proper power.
