Samsung dryer not heating

A Samsung dryer not heating usually still tumbles. Clean the lint screen and the full vent run, then reset both legs of the 240V breaker. HC means the dryer got too hot from a clogged exhaust. HE means it cannot heat. 9C1 points at the power supply.

First things to check

  1. Confirm the drum turns. A Samsung dryer that tumbles but stays cold is a heat or power problem, not a broken belt.
  2. Clean the lint screen and the vent. HC often means the dryer got too hot from a clogged exhaust.
  3. Reset both legs of the 240V breaker. One tripped leg leaves the drum running with no heat, and 9C1 points at that supply.
  4. Match your symptom to the error codes and compatible parts listed below.
  5. Replace the faulty part or call a technician if the fix requires sealed systems or live voltage work.
