The heating element in your dryer saves a tremendous amount of time by drying your clothes quickly and efficiently. However, if your Samsung dryer is not producing heat, drying your clothes may take up to four times longer, so you need answers quickly.

Thankfully, we have those answers. We’ll explain the causes behind your Samsung dryer producing no heat and tell you how it can be fixed.

Why is my Samsung Dryer not Heating Up?

Samsung dryer no heat issues, which could be due to several reasons. Here are some of the most common:

• Power Supply issues: If your dryer’s plug has loosened in the outlet for any reason, it can deliver an inconsistent flow of electricity. Heating elements pull a lot of power, so the heating functionality is often the first thing to fail when the connection is poor.
• Thermostat issue: The thermostat in a Samsung dryer prevents the heating element from becoming too hot. To check this issue, turn your dryer on, and once it heats up, you will hear a click. This is the element switching off. You will listen to it and click again when it comes back on. If those clicks are less than five minutes apart, the dryer could be short-cycling because of overheating. Contact your local Mr Appliance to have this checked out properly.
• Blown thermal fuse: The thermal fuse prevents fires in your dryer. If it has blown, it prevented a possible fire and needs to be replaced. This is best left to a Service Professional like your local Mr. Appliance to not only replace the blown thermal fuse but to find out why it blew and remedy that issue as well.
• Heating element breakdown: While this is the least likely Samsung dryer no heat issue, it is still worth checking to ensure all heating components are working properly. This is another issue best left to your local Mr Appliance Service Professional
• Burner or ignitor issues: The burner and ignitor are elements of a gas Samsung dryer. Burners mix together fuel and air to create a flame inside the heat tube, and the igniters provide the heat to ignite the fuel. These elements should always be handled by a qualified appliance repair professional, as improperly repairing a gas dryer can lead to severe damage and health risks.
