⚠️ Safety Warning: Appliance repair involves electricity, gas, and moving parts. Always disconnect power before working on any appliance.
Error Code: Dryer Difficulty: Easy
Problem: Power failure detected during cycle; voltage drop, outage, or unstable household power
How to Fix Dryer Error
- Verify household electrical power is restored. Check circuit breaker panel to ensure dryer’s dedicated 30A breaker is fully ON and not tripped.
- Press POWER button on control panel to restart appliance. Most Samsung dryers will resume cycle from interruption point.
- If cycle fails to restart: Unplug dryer for 2 minutes, then restore power. Select new dry cycle and start machine.
- Check wall outlet voltage with multimeter during operation – must maintain 220-240V AC. Significant drops indicate circuit overload.
- For recurring issues: Install whole-house voltage regulator. Verify dryer is on dedicated circuit with no other high-draw appliances sharing the line.
- Inspect power cord and terminal block connections inside dryer for looseness, corrosion, or arcing damage. Tighten terminals to 15 in-lbs torque if accessible.
