A Samsung dryer that suddenly stops heating can throw your entire laundry routine off track. If you’ve opened your dryer to find cold, damp clothes, you’re not alone. At Express Repair, we’ve helped countless customers across Canada get their appliances back in working order—and we’re here to help you too. In this blog, we’ll explore the most common reasons why your Samsung dryer may not be heating and what steps you can take to fix the issue quickly and safely.
There are several potential reasons why your Samsung dryer may stop producing heat. Understanding the cause is the first step to getting it working again.
One of the most common causes is a failed heating element. Over time, the element can wear out or break, preventing the dryer from generating heat.
Signs: The dryer tumbles normally but clothes remain wet and cold.
Thermal fuses protect your dryer from overheating. If your vent is clogged or your dryer gets too hot, the fuse may blow—and once it does, the dryer won’t heat until it’s replaced.
Tip: Check your lint filter and vent system regularly to prevent overheating.
Dryers have multiple thermostats to regulate temperature. If one malfunctions, it can prevent the dryer from heating properly.
Pro Insight: A malfunctioning thermostat often causes inconsistent or no heat.
Restricted airflow can lead to overheating and force the dryer to shut off its heating component. This is also a major fire hazard.
Solution: Clean your vents and ductwork at least once a year.
In some cases, the dryer’s control board or internal relays may be defective, leading to power not reaching the heating element.
This typically requires professional diagnosis and repair.
If you’re handy and feel confident, there are a few things you can try before calling in the pros:
Check the circuit breaker – Ensure your dryer is receiving full power.
Inspect the lint trap and vent hose – Remove any buildup that could restrict airflow.
Test the heating element and fuse – If you have a multimeter, you can check these components for continuity.
⚠️ Important: Always unplug your dryer before inspecting or repairing any internal components. If you’re unsure, it’s best to call a certified technician.
