Drying guidelines

STEP1 Sort

  • Do not mix heavy and lightweight items together.
  • Wash and dry dark-colored items separately from light-colored items.
  • Unless recommended on the care label, do not dry woolens or fiberglass items.
  • Do not dry items soiled with oil, alcohol, gasoline, etc.
  • Avoid drying unwashed items
  • Do not dry wet items that have not been fully spin-dried after washing. This could cause an odor inside the dryer or cause the dryer to malfunction.
  • Using a laundry net is recommended for baby socks and other small, light items.

STEP 2 Empty pockets and turn them inside out

  • Turn dark-colored clothes inside out before drying them. This will prevent fabric damage due to friction during the drying process and protect internal parts of the dryer from discoloration and damage.
  • Turn the items with buttons or embroideries inside out before drying them.

CAUTION

  • Empty the pockets. Metallic objects such as coins, pins, and buckles on clothing may damage other laundry items as well as the drum.
  • Remove any metallic objects attached to items, pull up zippers, and latch hooks before drying. Metallic objects attached to items may damage other items as well as the drum.

STEP 3 Check the lint filter

Ensure that the lint filter is installed correctly before putting items in the dryer. The dryer does not work without the lint filter.

Always clean the lint filter before drying. For more information on filter cleaning, see the "Lint filter" section on page 44

English26

STEP 4 Determine the load capacity

Do not overload the dryer. Overloading reduces the tumbling action, resulting in uneven drying and wrinkling.

  • Put one wash load in the dryer at a time.
  • To improve drying efficiency for one or two items, add a dry towel to the load.
  • For best results, untangle items before inserting them into the dryer. Tangled items may degrade the drying efficiency or cause the door to open.

CAUTION

Add or remove items into or from the dryer with the lint filter installed. If the filter is not in place, small items can fall into the filter slot and cause the dryer to malfunction.

STEP 5 After finishing the drying

  • Empty the water tank to prevent leaks. For more information on emptying the water tank, see the "Emptying the water tank" section on page 43
  • If the "Clean heat exchanger" message appears on the display, refer to the "Heat exchanger" section on page 46 and clean the heat exchanger.
  • Keep the dryer door and the heat exchanger cover open after finishing the drying to keep the inside of the dryer more hygienic.

y16u3

Maintenance

CAUTION

  • Clean the lint filter after each load. Otherwise, the drying performance may decrease.
  • If the filter surface is wet, allow it to completely dry before use. Inserting the filter while it is wet can cause mold and/or odor to form and/or result in less drying.
  • When cleaning or removing the lint filter, do not shake or tap on the filter. Doing so can damage the filter.
  • Opening the outer and inner filters carelessly and with excessive force can damage the filters.

Heat exchanger

When it is time to clean the heat exchanger, the dryer will alert you by displaying the "Clean heat exchanger" message.

A dirty heat exchanger will hinder the product's performance and should be cleaned regularly.

NOTE

Water droplets can form around the heat exchanger due to condensation caused by a temperature difference. This is normal and is not a sign of a leak.
If you are not planning on using the dryer for a long period of time, open the heat exchanger cover and ventilate.

SAMSUNG DV8GT5220AW - NOTE - 1

SAMSUNG DV8GT5220AW - NOTE - 2

CAUTION

  • To avoid physical injury and burns, do not touch or clean the heat exchanger with bare hands.
  • When cleaning the heat exchanger, be careful not to damage the fins.

NOTE

If the heat exchanger is completely dry and therefore hard to clean, spray some water on the heat exchanger and clean using a brush.

  1. Clean the inner cover with a smooth, damp cloth. There may be moisture and/or foreign substances around the inner cover.
  2. Reinsert the inner cover to its original position, and then lock the fixers.
  3. Close the heat exchanger's outer cover.

Troubleshooting

Checkpoints

If you encounter a problem with the dryer, first check the table below and try the suggestions.

Problem Action
Dryer does not start.·Make sure the dryer is plugged in. ·Make sure the door is properly closed. ·Check the fuse or reset the circuit breaker. ·If you opened the door during a cycle, tap and hold again. ·Clean the filter. ·Make sure Child Lock is not activated.
The dryer does not warm up.·Check the fuse or reset the circuit breaker. ·Check the lint filter and the heat exchanger. Clean them if necessary. ·The dryer may be in the cooling down process of the cycle.
Items are not dried.Check all of the above. Additionally: ·Do not overload the dryer. If the dryer is overloaded, it could take longer for items to dry. ·Dry heavy fabrics separately from light fabrics. ·The item(s) are too small and may not getting enough spinning inside the drum. ·Clean the filter. ·Clean the heat exchanger. ·If a drain hose is connected, make sure water is draining properly.
The dryer is too loud.·Look for coins, loose buttons, nails, and other objects and remove them immediately. ·Check the lint filter. Remove any items stuck inside the lint filter. ·Make sure the dryer is level and standing firmly on the floor. ·The dryer may hum due to air moving through the drum and fan. This is normal.
Items are not dried evenly.·Seams, pockets, and other parts of clothing are harder to dry than others. This is normal. ·Sort heavy and light items separately.
There is a smell coming from the dryer.·The smell of paint, varnish, cleaning agents, and other household items could have circulated in the air and entered the dryer. If you notice such a smell, ventilate completely before using the dryer. ·If drying in an enclosed area, the dryer could cause the ambient temperature to rise. Accordingly, make sure to open a window and ventilate the area. ·Do not attempt to dry wet items after leaving them in the washing machine or dryer for a long time.
The dryer turns off before the items are dry.·The load is too small. Throw in few additional items like towels and try drying again.

English48

Problem Action
The clothes have lint on them.·Always make sure the lint filter is clean before putting items into the dryer. When drying items that generate a large amount of lint, you may need to clean the lint filter in the middle of a cycle. ·Some fabrics (such as white towels) causes more lint and should be dried separately from fabrics that lint attaches easily (such as black linen pants). ·Check the inside of the pockets to make sure they are empty before drying.
The ambient temperature around the dryer rises or there is a damp, soggy smell.·Heat pump dryers circulate ambient air inside and outside the dryer during the drying process to cool the system. Using the dryer in a poorly ventilated area may, depending on the operating environment, raise the ambient humidity level and/or cause a damp, soggy smell to develop. Ensure proper ventilation when using the dryer.
Water is not draining.·Check the draining hose for twists and kinks. Straighten out the hose if it is twisted or kinked and securely connect it to the drain on the floor. ·Check to see if the draining hose is frozen. If the hose is frozen, submerge it in warm water to allow the water inside the hose to melt and drain out. Reconnect the hose and check for proper draining.

If a problem persists, contact a local Samsung service center.
