FAQs
How often should I clean the fluff filter?
For optimal performance and safety, you should clean the 2-in-1 fluff filter after every single load.
Can I connect this dryer to a drain?
Yes, this heat pump dryer typically comes with a drain hose that can be connected to a suitable drain, allowing the condensed water to empty automatically instead of collecting in the water tank.
What is the benefit of Heat Pump Technology?
Heat Pump Technology reuses hot air generated during the drying process, making the dryer significantly more energy-efficient (A++) and gentler on clothes, as it operates at lower temperatures compared to conventional dryers.
How do I use the SmartThings AI Energy mode?
To use the SmartThings AI Energy mode, you need to download the Samsung SmartThings app, connect your dryer to your home Wi-Fi network, and link it to your Samsung account. Within the app, you can then enable AI Energy mode for compatible programs like SuperSpeed and Towels.
Is the Hygiene Care program suitable for all fabrics?
The Hygiene Care program uses higher temperatures, making it ideal for items like bedding, towels, and baby clothes that require sanitization. For delicate fabrics, it's best to use gentler cycles like 'Delicates' or 'Wool' to avoid potential damage.
How does the Wrinkle Prevent feature work?
After the main drying cycle ends, the Wrinkle Prevent feature periodically tumbles the drum without heat. This action prevents clothes from sitting still and creasing, making them easier to iron or potentially wrinkle-free for immediate wear.
Troubleshooting
Clothes are still damp after a cycle.
Check the 2-in-1 fluff filter and the heat exchanger for blockages, as restricted airflow reduces drying efficiency. Ensure the load size is appropriate for the chosen program and not overloaded. Also, verify that the water tank is empty or the drain hose is clear.
Dryer is not starting or heating.
Ensure the power cord is securely plugged into a working outlet. Check your home's circuit breaker. Make sure the door is fully closed and latched. Some programs may have a delay start option enabled, check the display for any timer indicators.
Unpleasant odor coming from the dryer.
Clean the 2-in-1 fluff filter and the water tank thoroughly. Run an 'Air Wash' cycle or a drum cleaning cycle (if available in your model) to remove any residue or trapped odors. Ensure clothes are not left in the dryer for extended periods after the cycle finishes.
Excessive vibration or noise during operation.
Verify that the dryer is placed on a level surface and all four leveling feet are properly adjusted and making firm contact with the floor. Ensure that the load inside the drum is balanced and not excessively large. Check for any foreign objects accidentally left in pockets.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup
Placement: Choose a level, stable surface near a power outlet and adequate ventilation. Ensure there's enough space around the dryer for air circulation.
Leveling: Use a spirit level to ensure the dryer is perfectly level by adjusting the feet. This prevents excessive vibration and noise during operation.
Power Connection: Plug the dryer into a grounded electrical outlet. Consult the user manual for specific power requirements.
Water Container: For condenser dryers like this heat pump model, ensure the water collection tank is correctly inserted. This tank collects moisture extracted from your clothes. (Alternatively, a drain hose can be connected for direct drainage if preferred and compatible with your setup).
Compatibility
Electrical: Compatible with standard household electrical outlets. Refer to the product's specifications for voltage and amperage requirements.
SmartThings: Requires a stable Wi-Fi connection (2.4 GHz recommended) and a Samsung account to utilize the SmartThings app features, including AI Energy mode.
Care
Clean the 2-in-1 Fluff Filter: After every load, remove and clean the fluff filter located in the door opening. This maintains drying efficiency and prevents lint buildup. Simply remove lint by hand.
Empty the Water Tank: Empty the water collection tank after each cycle. A full tank will prevent the dryer from operating.
Clean the Heat Exchanger: Although the 2-in-1 filter reduces frequency, periodically check and clean the heat exchanger (located behind a cover at the bottom of the dryer) according to the user manual's instructions. This might involve vacuuming any lint buildup.
Drum Cleaning: Occasionally wipe the inside of the drum with a damp cloth to remove any residue or foreign objects. Use the Air Wash cycle to freshen the drum itself if any odors develop.
Exterior Cleaning: Wipe the exterior surfaces with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
